I agree that brine shrimp aren't nutritous for your fish. What kind of fish are you trying to feed live food to?

Good thing there is an edit button lol. My hippo has grown about 2-3" in a year. I've heard of others who grew slower and others faster. Sometimes you just have to know people are full of "it" though. Like when I read on one of these posts that someones blue tang had grown from 3" to 10" in a...

These fish can get to 1 foot, but they hardly ever do when being kept in an aquarium their whole lives. Still, I think 6 ft is the minimum for an adult. I have a 7" blue hippo and it is very active. Swims from one end of the tank to the other all day long. It's hard for me to imagine putting her...

Have any pics?

They are from New Guinea. They are a secret though, so don't tell anyone. Just a joke. It's just that they aren't very well known for some wierd reason. They are the best looking birds I've ever seen and talk/sing as well as the famous african greys (best talking parrots in the world).

I also agree that the yellow won't be a problem more than likely, though they are one of the more aggressive and territorial tangs. I can't see a blue tang outgrowing a 6ft tank, even if they get to a full foot in length. Most that were caught young normally stop growing at about 10" in the home...

Kole, convict, blue, atlantic blue to name a few. Also if you want something yellow you can get a foxface. They are very passive and much more durable than a tang.

I am glad to hear it as well. I've gotten rid of some fish that weren't being very active so i'm looking for a colorful replacement.

Are they the same as the battery operated kind?

This is an eel better left in the ocean. They get big fast and most public aquariums won't take them off your hands when they get too big for a home tank. You can't keep them with other fish, they eat large amounts of food. Also, when you are ready to get it out, it will be one painful move...

Originally Posted by lion_crazz Definitely depends on the fish. My refugium keeps my tank clean and algae-free. Yep. Mine as well. Heavy water movement using powerheads also does a big part. For anything extra that pops up just get a mag float and use a long handled net to pick up any debris...

Yea you can keep more than one per tank if you do it right. I need to get some better pics of my emp angel. he is almost fully in to his adult coloration.

This all happened over a year ago, but now the foxface is as passive as everyone says. The powder blue is the only real mean one in the tank. I've got an emperor and trigger in there now and got rid of the lion. The porc puffer has quickly become the biggest fish in the tank.

I normally wait about 1 month between adding fish to my tank. If your tank hasn't really become mature yet (6months after cycle) you definitely want to wait at least that long. What do you plan to do from here?

Too many fish added at the same time can cause a bio load meltdown. You had too much in a 29 and it sounds like it just caught up with you. Sorry for your loss. Have you tested your levels yet?
