    What is the name of the classification of fish who swim in open water?

    You sure you don't mean dither fish?   Possibly lol, I looked up the definition and dither seems to be the one I was looking for. Thank you! Do you know of any dither fish?

    What is the name of the classification of fish who swim in open water?

    I think its pelagic, thank you. Im pretty sure shoaling fish is not what im looking for because thats pretty much the same as schooling fish meaning lots of one kind of fish right? Out in the wild, if there is no fish swimming out in the open, the more shy, reef dwelling fish assume there is...

    What is the name of the classification of fish who swim in open water?

    Fish like cardinals, clowns, and chromis. Ones that tend to bring other hiding fish out in the open. Im looking for the name of the classification so that I can find a list of fish who will help bring others out of hiding.

    I might have cooked my corals and my carpenters wrasse now has pop eye :(

    You really should try to get it to him sooner than later. My fish market sells individual servings. I pick up one, freeze it, grate it and put it in a sandwich bag, flatten it out into a thin sheet and freeze it. Then I just break off tiny parts of the sheet to feed daily.Ok, thanks. We need to...

    I might have cooked my corals and my carpenters wrasse now has pop eye :(

    If you can't catch him: Offer extra vitamins in food and try feeding shaved salmon. Salmon can be fattening, but it's also full of good stuff to help a sick fish. I really think that my goby did well because I fed extremely well when he had the pop eye and while his socket was healing after he...

    I might have cooked my corals and my carpenters wrasse now has pop eye :(

    I seriously doubt 85 got your fish, unless there was a very rapid temperature swing. You may want to reconsider having a heater at all. Well I know my heater was bad because it stays much more consistant now that I have a new one. It was always kinda sketchy. I think when the thermostat...

    I might have cooked my corals and my carpenters wrasse now has pop eye :(

    The temp outside was about 105 yesterday, I came home and my tank was 85.5!! Either my heater is bad or it was just too hot in my house, or a combination. I bought a new heater today just in case because I had neglected to look at my temp for about a week. My frogspawn didnt look happy and...

    Small ammount of hair algae and bubble algae, should I just learn to like it?

    Post a pic and we can tell you more....  Dinoflagellates are long brown strings that usually have bubbles trapped in them. There are two types, photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic. They are very hard to rid your tank of. Ill keep trying, but my computer is having a blond moment. It is short...

    Small ammount of hair algae and bubble algae, should I just learn to like it?

    Now days thats no excuse with an underwater algae scrubber. :) ...you have my attention :) I really dont know much about scrubbers, how they work, what kinds ect. But it sounds like an under water one would be a good way to go as long as I dont need any kind of lighting for it cause of the power...

    Small ammount of hair algae and bubble algae, should I just learn to like it?

    Ahh, I wish I could have a scrubber, my power goes out way too often to successfully have one. Ill definately see if I can get the crab. Thank you

    Small ammount of hair algae and bubble algae, should I just learn to like it?

    I know there is no magical cure, I mean you can keep your tank PRISTENE but even then it might still be there. Is there anything else I can do that wont harm my corals? Like turning off the lights for a certain ammount of time (if so, how long before my corals suffer). If I pull it off will it...

    My clown is taking up residence in my elegance coral, will this kill the coral?

    The lfs where I got the elegance took it back because they could see it was still healthy and not stressed at all, so I ended up with a frogspawn and some hairy mushrooms... It was a great trade cause ive already made $40 or more on frogspawn frags :) so crisis averted, and with a few more...
