i was on yahoo answers earlier and someone asked a question about their 4 gold fish in a 10 gallon tank... clearly overstocked... they said something like i did a big water change and siphoned all the poo from the gravel and quite a bit of the water. now my fish seem lethargic. someone replied...

Quick update for my mushroom that was burried in the sand for god knows how long: ITS COMMING BACK!!! I think its either a ric or a fuzzy but I cant be too sure yet. Its starting to color up with some yellow and pink but im sure thatll change over time. It was about the size of my pinky nail...

Hmm, ive read guppies can too and the lfs guy seemed to know what i was talking about. How long should I acclimate next time (maybe ill try a molly, after I see how well my new coral beauty keeps it in check) I really dont have much algae, but I prefer crystal clear glass... My algae blenny...

Oh, and I could keep my t5 for actanic lighting if need be... But that mh has got to go it is an eye sore (the hubby made the box for me after downing some vodka, so its not exactly visually pleasing, and my electric bill pisses me off too)

Im going to be upgrading my lighting from mh/t5 combo to just kessil led, im hoping to get a little more info first tho. I have a 75 gal and currently have: 175w 15k mh 1x 54w 10k t5 1x 54w actanic t5 I am looking to get better color, I want to see those beautiful flourescent colors you always...

I bought a guppy today with the idea that I would acclimate him to my reef. The lfs guy said it takes "hours", so to be safe, I acclimated him for about 10 hours... But I didnt even get the salinity in the bag to match the salinity in the tank before he died. Id really like to have a guppy to...

Good year, the six line died last night :( I don't know what happened I guess his injuries were too severe. Maybe it was red but I couldn't see it cause his face is normally red anyway. Well, I guess ill try some pimafix and melafix as a precaution just in case he was sick cause I don't want...

I've been trying to get a pic of him all day but he's not having it. He's too quick. He seems normal, but he hangs out in a hole a bit more often and he does eat normal

I'm not sure what's going on with my six line. He was quarantined for 2 weeks at the lfs and has been in my qt for about 3 weeks now. So a total of 5 weeks in qt. He has been healthy and eating like a little monster since I got him. I switched my qt from a 5 gal to a brand new 10 gal last week...

Okay... what kind of fish is on page 33, it looks like some sort of wrasse but I'm not sure, and what kind of fish is on page 50 (the yellow one with blue polka dots) it looks to be some sort of Toby but only the head is pictured I'm interested in possibly buying one of these 2 fish once I learn...

Wow cool, hopefully this one will come back with a vengence too! I dont remember ever buying it or losing it for that matter, it must be a little trooper. Thanks guys

When they "wither away to nothing" will it literally dissenegrate? Or will it just stay small and white? Im just wondering if its already past the point of no return. Do they "melt" like other corals do when they die? Do they give off a slime? Is there any indicators of it being dead dead?

I found a mushroom on a plug burried in the sand about a week ago. I put it about mid way up the tank in moderate water flow to see what happens. Currently, it is white due to it being bleached but it has a greenish pink tinge to it and it is closed up pretty small. BUT, none of my hermits or...

If he becomes a problem, he will live in my divided 10 gal qt. I have a snail and a hermit in there right now to assess his aggressiveness with them.... i have plenty of snails and the red leg i have in there is the only one who picks on my corals anuway, hes a jerk so he became the guinnea pig lol

How much did u pay for those if you done mind me asking. Theyre like $100 ish each right? For me, i feel im a little too new to the hobby to feel comfortable spending that money on a fish lol... even if they are easy to keep, id hate myself if it died lol

Sweet, so i know what my last 2 fish will be lol, now i just have to get some gobies and a couple others first. Im thinking about a firefish. I had one with a RG and they were perfectly fine (till the disease wiped them out) *grrrr* Do sand sifting gobies ONLY eat junk from the sand? Or is that...

Since ill be dividing my qt, im thinking about making my very last 2 fish the six line and a royal gramma. Any thoughts? Ive been reading alot of old posts on here where people had no problems, then some where the 6 line was a bully then some where the gramma was... so im thinking if i ad both...

Very true :) i hope hes nice cause i dont want to get rid of him. Hes so pretty and has so much personality. We named him "good year" because his body looks like a blimp, especially after dinner time. We name our fish odd names lol. We have party fish and sissy fish (clowns) cause one loves to...

No, i cant put him in my sump, BUT i just found a 10 gal complete set up with hood and everything. I just talked to the guy and ill be picking it up saturday... 10 bucks on craigslist even has a stand! If i get a divider, i can always keep him in my qt tank until i feel hes ready for the big boy...

Well, problem is: he is in qt right now. I just got him and havent added him quite yet. I only have a 5gal qt, so im not sure what to do. I dont mind choosing my stock to suit him but im not sure what to do with him if im going to add another fish first. I suppose he could possibly live in a...
