    So how long have your fish lived?

    I have had my maroon clown for 2 years, I bought my set-up used and she came with it. She is great. She layed eggs a few weeks ago. I also have 2 green chomis that came with the tank, they are still doing great.

    feather duster behavior

    The feather duster might have left his tube, it is not un-common. It will grow another tube somewhere it is happy. I would not worry to much.

    Decorator Crabs eats corals...

    Hi Chris, I have a decorator crab and he does'nt eat corals, he steels them and wears them. He has taken out 3 feather dusters and some mushrooms. First he takes the crowns (Feathers) and wears them on his head. Kid you not. When he tires of that, he takes the worm itself and wears them on...

    Good Crab or Wicked Crab of the West???

    I would say it was one of your emralds molting. It looks just like the crab it came from. It is almost creepy. My deractor crab molted saturday morning and at first glance I thought he had died. I really enjoy watching my decorator crab, so I was starting to get upset. Sure enough he molted...

    What do your fish think when they look at you?

    The flame hawk fish, "Here I am, look at me!" Decorator crab: "I'm Blending, you do not see me." Maroon Clowns: " This is our area, don't even think about looking over here or touching anything." Green Chomis: " Stay together now, stay in line."

    Emp Angel

    I hate to say it, but I do not have a Q-tank. The store I bought him from did quartine him for 3 weeks before they called to tell me he was ready. I think it is a smart idea with the quartine, to find out what he likes to eat. I did buy what he was being fed while at the store. In my opinion...

    How often do you do your water changes?

    I agree 100 % with Fishymissy, I enjoy working on my tank, and I know the tank really likes the freshness the water change brings. I do 20 %every 2 weeks. If it needs more then I will do it. I guess whatever works for you keep on doing it. :D

    2 maroon clowns

    If you buy them in a pair that would be fine, I don't see a problem with it. It is hard to buy one, then to try to add another at later date. They can be aggresive. In my opionion they are the best kind of clowns to have. I have a Maroon clown, with a little Maroon gold stripe. matter of...
