some nice nems here.. I posted some of mine in another thread before seeing this one. I dont want to clutter this one so I'll post the link instead.. https://www.saltwaterfish.com/vb/showthread.php?t=354071

I have raised a few clowns (few thousand(s)) and dont find it all that difficult when I can spare the time (30 minutes minimum per day, per hatch) The hardest part is getting the rotifer cultures thriving. once you do, the rest is usually pretty easy. Even the rotifers are easy once established...

instead of topping off with fresh(RO) water when your tank evaporates, top off with saltwater instead until you get it up to 35ppt (1.026) or close). Your animals will not die at 1.022 but they would be more comfortable at 1.o26 the dual PC Can work, but not optimally and not even likely with...

Thank you. I have a few tanks. I am maybe what you might call a long term addict . I have been in the hobby like forever.. seems like I am always setting one up or tearing one down.. if ya toss in the breeding/fry larval tanks.. Lets just say that I have lots I have always been more of an SPS...

Forgive the cross posting if you happen to see these pics on other forums. I finally got around to uploading some pics and thought that I would share.. I will attempt to separate the pics into a few different posts so its likely that it will take me a few.. First my purple footed mag with a...

I was just commenting on the fact that its not normal/natural for them to expel everyday, and also threw possible causes out there. There could me many. I do have my suspicions though.

it could be stings from the anemone. Condylactus anemones do pack a punch, and they are not a natural host to clown fish. There are many reports of clown fish becoming meals for conndylactus anemones. . There are also reports of clown fish accepting them as a host (*like yours have). The fact...
