Update: The 10 gallons and the 12 are taken. The 29 is spoken for, though not completed. The flooding we've had here recently really got it nasty, and it took me a while to get to it. I still have the stand and light strip for it, they weren't in the garage. I'm getting back with those who...

Your best fish to start a small tank with are guppies. They are very hardy, and can survive most anything. As mentioned above, neons are not hardy at all, and need to be in groups of 5 or more. And yes, your cori will need sinking pellets, since your tank isn't old enough to have enough...

Need to know how big your tank is and how long it's been running and on what type of filtration. Then I could give you some help. I've done freshwater my whole life, so I can tell you lots of things not to do.

Huh, I (being very new) didn't know there were more than just the little white feather dusters to come on rock. At least these new ones are prettier, I like the striped effect. Thanks to both of you!

I have personally never known of a marine fish from that store to not get ich. And with a scooter, it'd be hard to see that's for sure. Good luck.

I'm in Denton, North of DFW. And soon I'll get a camera that will focus better. And now, for two (really bad) pictures of my beautiful coral:

I told you the pic was bad. But I'm pretty sure it's not a feather duster, as it doesn't have a tube, it just comes out of a hole in the rock. I was wondering if it could be the start of a christmas tree worm or something. At least it's not like the other feather dusters in my tank: And...

I don't have good pics yet, but it's a beauty, I got it about a week ago. It's a Pulsating Xenia (or Red Sea Xenia) and it was still pulsing in the bag on the way home. It's a lovely blush pink and doing wonderfully. I'm glad I saved for the lighting upgrade, corals add so much to a tank...

Hi, I've got a couple new things popping up in my tank on the live rock. I only took a pic of the worm thing, there are two of them that I can see, but they are both only .25" wide. I assume they're worms because when a fish swims by the ring disappears. A striped tube appears and then fans...

My gramma is cured! :cheer: I'm so happy! However, now my firefish has whatever it is, but less than last night. I got the vitamin c and have been adding it to their food. Thanks for the help, I couldn't have done it without you guys!

I always temp and drip acclimate my fish, up to 4 hours. And the gramma's been in since it cycled (after it cycled, I mean), and that was the beginning of March. And the scooter blenny is a treasure, I got him from a local lady who couldn't keep him. He likes nothing more than frozen spirulina...

Oh, good, I hadn't heard of that. I've always had freshwater fish before and never had a sick one in my life. Yet I've never been so attached to fish before, for some reason the saltwater fish have so much more personality. I even cried when the lawnmower blenny died, I've watched him grow up...

My display fish-only tank: 56 gallons 60lbs live rock live sand (not a deep bed) -been up and running after 6 week cycle since march 1(pretty new) Water: ammo-0 nitrite-0 nitrate-0 ph-8.3 sg-1.025 temp-78-79 Livestock: 10 blue-leg hermits 2 emerald crabs 1 firefish 1 royal gramma QT: 1 scooter...

1-3 times a day, depending on how much the scooter blenny eats (sometimes I have to spot feed him). Brine everyday, and flakes every other. I also do some pellets, mysis, and something else I can't remember the name of, it's in my freezer though. Again with me all of the food is gone in about...

I agree, no damsals. But anything goby I'd go with, of course I'm biased. Don't forget the variety you can get with inverts.

I love my firefish, he puts himself to bed each night when I turn off the lights, and comes out each morning when I turn them on. Be careful with the bangaii (or banner) cardinals, I've heard many stories of them getting aggressive when they're older. Granted that holds true for many fish...

My thoughts on dragonets: be careful. I love all dragonets, anything related to gobies or blennies, and the whole reason (as a child) I wanted a saltwater aquarium was for fish just like them. I now have an adorable scooter blenny, however he came from a local lady who had to get rid of her...

Does anyone know if the Scutus could be added to the Hitchhiker thread? I was scared to death when I thought a carnivorous slug (three, actually, saw them all two days ago) was going through my tank. I'm glad it's just an algae eater, and I'm sure someone else will get one eventually. And...

Wonderful, the 29 gallon setup is yours. Please email me at texanangel@hotmail.com for details and where we can meet up, and what if any extras you want.

Is this on the wrong board? I just thought people might like to see the sea slug/snail thing. And I know my camera isn't great, sorry.
