When I heard people talking about flushing their fish down the toilet, I thought they were just joking. I didn't know they really do that!!:scared: Don't feel too bad about $200, though. Think it as a generous donation to one of those anti-animal abuse organizations. Money well spent!

It can't be possible. Even with the best filtration system, there's simply not enough space. All of the fishes look surprisingly healthy, though. Hmm...

I think I contradicted myself by saying that the feeding of live food is a selfish act. In fact, my keeping of saltwater fish in captivity itself has been done for a selfish reason, which is "my own personal enjoyment". If I truly wanted the happiness of those fishes, I would've not taken them...

I'm confused as to why everyone is arguing whether or not brackish Molly is a healthier option than Goldfish. The solution is really simple. Either give your fish saltwater feeder or do not rely on them at all if the cost is a concern for you. I think the reason for feeding your fish live food...

They're mean no matter what size they are! They would consume everything including small fishes. They would not bother corals, but any crustacean (especially mobile ones!) will be a goner in no time.

There are many online stores that sell Fiji live rocks for around $3.00/lb. Unless you buy a large number of them, it is much cheaper to buy them at LFSs due to the shipping cost.

From my personal experience.... Lions: yes! Tobies: no (but, not much damage done) Arothron/Porky: yes (only when they're young)/ no (when they get bigger)

That's simply ludicrous. Your LFS is just trying to trick you into buying more gobies. I've never heard of anything like that.....but it is true for Twin Spot Goby. You are better off with just one goby because they usually do not appreciate the presence of another same speicies unless they're a...

What a bargain! The LFS in my town used to sell a baby clown for $19. I think it's because they have such a high mortality rate.

Omega-3 Fatty Acid......to be exact....Of course freshwater fishes do have it in a low amount, but saltwater fishes are high in certain types of omega-3 fatty acid that are beneficial for the health of the fishes. I wouldn't go into the details but you get the idea. Also, freshwater fishes have...

All the fishes on your list will outgrow your tank very quickly. You also want something semi-aggressive, not outrageously aggressive like a clown trigger. 46 is considered fairly small for an aggressive set-up, but there are still many options available. Some of the options include...

Engineer might get too big for your tank. Get either Diamond or Blue-cheek Goby. They do a superb job when it comes to sand sifting. Just make sure to get a fully-grown specimen so that your damsels won't bully him.

Based on what you said, there is no logical explanation. He might be simply wasting away or having some kind of internal parasites. Just watch him closely, and let us know if the condition gets better/worse.

You should not feed your humu live feeder goldfish for the reasons specified in the previous post. Since triggers readily accept non-live food, there is simply no point of doing it. If you must feed him live feeder, then get some chromis/neon goby....etc, which will be quite costly in the long...

How long was the ick treatment process?

Not at all. In fact, you can add a few more fishes in there since your tank's got a larger surface area and a good skimmer.

It's perfectly normal although mine is not as controlling as yours.:) They've got tons of personality for sure. The funny thing about my diamond is that it digs a new hole under every new liverock I put in the tank. I think there're at least 5 underground caves and 1 still in contruction. I love...

Thanks for the help. I finally figured out where my lawnmower gets all the extra food. He's been secretly feeding on all the leftover shrimp pieces on the substrate (not to mention all the algae), and I caught him doing it! :) Question: Since lawnmower is supposed to be a strict herbivore, is...

My new live rocks jsut came in and I noticed they got literally hundreds of tiny (less than 1" in diameter") feather dusters on them. Are these just dwarf species of feather dusters or are they going to get huge eventually?

I heard they're quite challenging to feed...Has it started feeding yet? Anyway, an awesome-looking fish!
