One thing you will learn quickly in this hobby is there are more opinions then there are aquarists. If you look hard, enough you will find someone who agrees with what you want to hear. This is always nice, but is never beneficial. Often time the experts will disagree on a mater and two or more...

Originally posted by Durabane wow was told that they were schooling fish that look really cool in pairs of trios Not according to what I have read, and i spent some time recently reading up on them because I just got one.

Originally posted by Durabane Getting up there in fish now...either 2 pitstol shrimp or 2 mantis cant tell...just the one fire fish is hiding on a side note are they fire goby's or just fire fish heard them called both Yes, your tank may be a bit over crowded, and if you have 2 mantis then...

Actually, i just did some double-checking, and even in the case of a 100 gal it is too small for anything other than a mated pair. If you did not buy them as a mated pair from the store, then it is most likely aggression, and the one hiding will eventually did. After that happens one of the...

It is more likely hiding from the other fish, but we need more info. How big is your tank? And what else do you have in it? Fire fish will do well together in large 100+ gal tanks (minimum), in groups, but get territorial in smaller tanks

Originally posted by mattiej Currently I have two Atlantic sharpnose, two bonnetheads, one sandbar, and one Pacific blacktip reef shark in the 18000 gallons. I have finalized all plans and submitted the deposits to begin construction on my new lagoon in April. This monster will be a bit over...

Put the sand in a deep bucket or trashcan (clean / never used) and rinse with a garden hose, it will get out the dust and leave the sand. Now test it first, because if it is too fine you will loose the sand, so try turning the water down. It is a good idea to do this outside and not in a sink as...

Man, If I lived any closer I would come and give you a hand fixing and setting up, that has got to be hard to do, i a rush situation. I feel for you.:eek:

Welcome to the neighborhood. Hope you enjoy your stay.

Look for hammerhead titanium tip darts with the impact heads. Expensive but worth it.

If you are talking macro algae then yes cut it, there was a good article about it in Aquarium fish monthly sometime over the last few months; if I can find the copy, i will post which one.

Man, I feel like Superman giving up his secret identity doing this, but here goes, it about a year old shot, from when we lived in TX.

Just remembered it was Boutique Pet or something like that

Hey, I am originally from NY but lived the last 4 years in Dallas, before moving here to IL. Two good stores are Dallas North aquarium in or near Plano just off the toll way. The other is by White Rock Lake on Gaston or Garland (?) Ave, but the name slips my mind at the moment. I will post again...

I one time added an anemone to a tank with 3 peppermint shrimp in it, It did not take long (about 2 min) for them to find it and start to tear it apart. I would not suggest trying any kind with e shrimp, or you will make the same stupid mistake I did.

I do not think I would ever get one, as I am not sure I could care for one, and would not want to kill it. This is more curiosity question. So what size tank and how many watts would it take to keep one?

what kind of glue is safe to use?

I am not sure what forum to put this question in, so I guess this is as good as any. Can a clam go into a nano tank or is this just not enough water volume. Has anybody tried or should I say succeeded? I am not saying I would do this, just a thought. :thinking:

Sorry, my book is not for sale, but you should be able to find it on line.
