Originally Posted by Flower Jennie, you have a problem. An anemone should not be in a tank that is younger than 6 months. A clown does not always decide it likes the anemone, they have to build a relationship, let alone one that has not yet found its happy place to stay yet. Your next purchase...

Originally Posted by King_Neptune Isn't it bad for the liver and should be used as a cure, rather than prevention? I assume you're talking about copper. I've never heard this. Almost all shippers, collectors, wholesalers, online dealers, and many lfs, run copper constantly. I know many...

I QT EVERYTHING. I QT all fish and treat with copper (Sea-Chem Cupramine) and a de-wormer. Fish spend 4-5 weeks in QT. (I agree with Joe, look it up to be sure.) I have lots of fish and haven't seen a parasite in my DTs for many years. IMO, copper is not scary, I doubt that you could find a fish...

This has been a gripe of mine for years. A well cleaned hydrometer SHOULD be fairly accurate for years. All it is is a couple pieces of acrylic. But they ain't!

Originally Posted by mjm889 here is a small video of my new clown trigger, the one that i thought was dead when it arrived. 3 hours later he was swimming. still can't believe it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohNb1bUknsI I'm glad he made it. He should establish himself as the "alpha' fish soon.

Originally Posted by mony97 To the best of my knowledge I dont think the tank will limit their growth, it will, however, stress the fish, which as stated can lead to issues such as Ick. Also as a side note, you would have to get rid of your current tangs, but if you really wanted a tang that...

Originally Posted by Noah's Nemo Unfortunatley ,he is not eating ICK,but the dead skin around.If ick is in your DT it will always be,unless you Hypo,copper or fallow. Yeah, this is a big misconception. I also agree that copper or hypo are the only real cures. UV may help a little, but it...

Originally Posted by splenda21 I finnaly set up my 125 gallon tank and I dont know what other fish I want to put in it. I have a Volitan Lionfish and a Dog Face Puffer. What else should I get. Im more of an aggressive fish type of person. Please give me some suggestions. Well, my 1st...

Joe, I see no reason NOT to use my DT water. I know my DTs have to ich, or other stuff in them. I don't want to sound snotty, but I wouldn't tell anyone else to use their DT water---I have no idea what the do to keep stuff out. (I QT everything and use copper & a de-wormer on all new fish) But...

Making higher education available to any QUALIFIED kid is an area I'm actually quite liberal. However, taxpayers should not (IMO) be the primary funding source....although they already are in many cases. TN, GA, and maybe other states use $ from lottery profits to fund any student with a 'B"...

Originally Posted by Jstdv8 I have to disagree with them being hard to keep. Sure you need to train them to eat frozen, but just about naybody can do that with good success. And they are a really hardy fish. my first fish was a volitan and I did really good with him. I sent him to a new home...

Originally Posted by SteveDave08 I've made my own extra long feeding prongs out of bamboo skewers and I've used one to poke the bigger one a couple of times. I knew it wouldn't kill him, but I wanted to see if I was fast enough to hit him. Right now the plan is either this mini speargun or...

Originally Posted by SLF125 Absolutely that is probably the cause but all im saying is the election in massachusetts had no/little effect on the economy. This election may just be the start of a real change in the outlook of business. I think most businesses had hiring on hold because of all...

Originally Posted by stdreb27 In reality where that stadium was, is only about 10 minutes from downtown Dallas. I do find it amusing, the Dallas Cowboys have played in dallas for what 6 years? Isn't the new Battlestar Gallactica in Arlington? That's OK, because the Rangers played there when...

I haven't really thought too deeply about the long-term effects of this ruling But If Chuckie Schumer hates it and Justices Scalia, et al made the ruling, I feel great about it. BTW, nobody seems upset about the unions new rights included as well.
