Now you realize you shouldn't put anything with anemones, especially slow-swimming fishes like cowfish. There is really nothing you can do at this point, but to just wait for the nematocysts to be neutralized. Hopefully your cow will heal by itself.

Also, the most effective way to help your puffer file down his teeth is to feed him small live crabs. Shrimps/Krills are not hard enough, and snail shells are so hard that most captive puffers will not even bother to touch them. BTW, what kind of puffer is yours?

I'm afraid switching to hard-shelled food at this point will not file down your puffer's teeth. The only way is to surgically do so. Look for a local vet who might do this.

Residual bristles won't kill your puffer. However, I'm sure it's causing a great deal of discomfort to your puffer right now. It is possible that your puffer might get bacterial infection or other complications on the site of sting. The only solution is to remove every one of bristles stuck to...

It is almost certain that your gramma will be a goner in no time. While you can, you should take out one of them.

Since PWB is a lot more aggressive than hippo and similarly shaped, PWB will be likely to show constant aggression towards hippo. Actually 72 is barely enough for your hippo alone. So I wouldn't get PWB if I were you.

I really doubt that your feather duster actually left its tube. Is there any fish in your tank that might possibly pull it out of its tube? I'm not sure if it's going to survive, though. Since the tube structure acts as a buttress that holds everything together, your feather duster won't be able...

Seems like just one of their typical behaviors...There is no need to worry. Your porky just needs some time to acclimate to a new environment since it's been only one day. About your porky laying on the bottom....it's just what they do. I've kept my porky for the past six months, and it usually...

how big a tank would be needed for a s @ s puffer For a small specimen...let's say less than 5".... any size between 40 and 80 should be fine. But, you need at least 120g in the long run so that there would be an ample room for proper growth....But I would say the absolute minimum size is 75...

Agreed. Puffers in general are great fish to have, and star & striped is no exception. Mine has the biggest appetite among all my puffers. The funny thing is that mine always follow my porcupine puffer. They even sleep together side by side at night. You know SS do get BIG (more than 20" long in...

The thing is 75 is kinda in the middle of nowhere because it's more than big enough to have a dwarf angel, but not quite so to have a large angel. I personally wouldn't have any pygmy angel in an aggressive tank. They would look rather out of place. When you're dealing with a relatively small...

Since you tank is fish only, you can add chelated copper sulfate (i.e CopperSafe from Mardel) directly to your display tank.

Yes unless they are bite size

I think any pygmy angel would do just fine in your tank. It's just a matter of your preference: color, hardiness...etc I personally like resplendent angel (C. resplendens). Not only are they beautifully colored and small, but they're one of the very few pygmy angels that can be kept in pairs or...

Yes. There should be no problem. But, there is one exception. I kept ocellaris clown with Pygmy anegel (C. argi), and they were constantly fighting. I didn't have the same kinf problem with other pygmy angels like Flame, Coral Beauty, Rusty.....etc. I think it was because they were similar in...

I would say they're semi-schooling fish. Chromises show intraspecific aggression towards one another. The dominant one will pick on the weaker ones. The best way of allowing them to school IMO is to have some semi-aggressive fish in the same tank as a mild threat to Chromis. But, the fish can't...

I personally like V-tail grouper.

Oops! I didn't know the tank is 359g. Then it's a totally different story. Your fishes will be very happy in the tank of that size. :) The reason I asked you if you're going to get a bigger tank is because of Tesselata. Not only does it get really big, but they are quite aggressive. I was...

You got a big family out there!:D Are you going to upgrade to a bigger tank? Once your fishes reach maturity, you'll need something humongous to hold them all. Love your triggers and Tesslata....and pity on yellow tang....

Awesome-looking eel! I've never seen anyone actually own one this big. Is he venomous like white margin eel? Does he get along with Tesselata?
