YIKES! nacadoc, I think i need to get that crab out of there! I would be sooo upset if he hurt my clown! Murph, i will have to try that cup technique but it is a funny angled rock and I am not sure if i will be able to get him that way. Is there a trap or anything else I could buy? Plus, I think...

So if the claw stays thick at the end, its a meat eater and if it flattens out then he is an algea eater? I will have to try to get a look, but like I said, he hides very well. How would I catch him if i did want to remove him?

I found a hitch-hiker crab in my tank a few days ago. He lives in a crevice and it would be really hard to get a pic. He reminds me of a coral banded shrimp, in that his claws are long and stick out towards the front. He also is striped. I worry because he seems to live right near where my...

Make sure to wait six weeks before adding fish to tank that had ich. I think there is a form of the ich that can be dormant for a few weeks and wait for a fish. But if the tank is empty (fish-free) for six weeks, all the ick should be gone.

DO you have any other fish in your tank? And, just to make sure, all your levels (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, etc.) are good? Just keep trying different foods until you find one he likes. I'm sure he will come around. JUst be glad you didn't get a mandarin. They are one of my favorite fish (sooo...

Im a bio major too. I just got accepted into [hr] school. THis might be a career you would be interested in if you want flexible hours. And, there are many different options in [hr] , not just being a pill counter at walgreens!

My clown is currently hosting a frogspawn, but he has also hosted fuzzy mushrooms and a bubble coral. I am the same as you in that I do not want an anemone in my tank and my clown seems very happy hosting these substitutes.

Hey Kyle I don't know too much but since no one else has posted I thought I would. I know that HLLE is best treated by improving conditions and it seems like you are trying to do that by giving him good quality food (have you tried adding garlic to his food?) and improving conditions. I think...

Yeah, I would say that you should not add any more fish to that tank. Sorry if thats not what you wanted to hear, but that would be the best for your fish and your tank.

Alyssia I have heard that the two of them clearing a spot and staying close to it is a good sign they are going to breed eventually. If you think you would like to rear the young if and when they come, you better start the research now and get prepared! Good luck

Did you give your fish a formaldehyde dip by following the instructions in the Disease and Treatment forum? I saved my three fish from brooklynella by following those instructions.

Could you put an airstone in your tank to bring oxygen in? Or would that bring in the chemicals too? Also, I am in an entomology class (insect class) and we have to do a collection of insects and I really need a cockroach. Do you have any lying around that you could send to me? I know that thats...

Today I decided to clean out the backc compartments of my aquapod, so I took out all the pumps and such and scrubbed them. Right before I siphoned out all of the detritus, I saw my peppermint shrimp! He actually scared me pretty bad until I realized it was him. THe poor little guy has been...

So these are bad anemones then? I should get rid of them?

No, I have never had a bubble tip in my tank. So, its a bad anemone? I dont want to get rid of it if I dont have to because I kinda like it if its not harmful.

Does anyone know if this is a good or bad anemone? It does not look like Aiptasia to me, but it triple split last week from one into three and I am alittle worried it could try to take over. What do you think?

Hey SugarFox Do you have the 24gal aquapod? Maybe you should do a water change in the back compartment. I have one of those extendable siphons. I will sometimes take out all the stuff in the back compartment (heater, skimmer, pumps, etc.) and clean those off real good and put my siphon down in...

Temperature is at 80. It was placed on the sandbottom of my tank, maybe 18 inches or so from the light. I moved it up because it seems like it was bleaching from not enough light maybe? I haven't been able to feed it for a long time since it never gets those hungry sticky tentacles anymore. I...

Hey Oceanist, How funny that you are in EDH too! I went to Oak Ridge, class of 2003! I bought it at Capital and the Calcium is about 400. Sinaloa, I think EDH is like 20 minutes from downtown.
