I've never had any problems with a firefish not eating. However, they are notorious jumpers, so be sure you have a lid or something on your tank so they won't go carpet surfing.

Check out this thread for suggestions. You just want to make sure that you have a good variety of ingredients that suit the feeding needs of your fish (ie, meats for the carnivores and veggies/seaweed for the herbivores)...

I love to make French Onion soup from scratch. It's time consuming, but it is SO much better than anything I've ever had in a restaurant.

You've got a nice start. Is that crushed coral on the bottom? You may want to consider switching to live sand. Crushed coral tends to be a detritus trap, which can lead to nitrate problems.

Someone on the local marine club board I also visit agreed with your Whammin Watermelon ID. The Eagle Eye looks similar too and the description on the database said that Whammin Watermelon was a color variation of Eagle Eye, so I guess both IDs are correct. It's obviously a morph in that...

You made out like a bandit with that buy! I can't wait to see pics of them in the tank and open.

Thanks everyone! Making things even better, my wonderful husband surprised me with a ricordea tonight!

Oooo... very nice!

I've had several fish that liked to ride the current in my former 175 gallon aquarium. They would swim up, get right in front of an output nozzle, then ride the current across the length of the tank. Then they would swim back and do it again and agian and again. You could almost hear them...

Check into the various types of fairy wrasses. I think they are stunning.

Firefish are nice little schooling fish. The only downside is that the are jumpers, so your aquarium would need to have glass tops or something to keep them from going carpet surfing. Green chromis are schooling fish in the damsel family, but they tend to be a lot less aggressive... most of the...

I always wait to place online orders until I have multiple things to buy. $30 shipping is fairly reasonable considering they are sending live animals overnight, but it's just more cost efficient to do one big order than multiple small ones.
