There is a lot of debate about anemones in the fish world. Some people are able to keep them well and others have trouble. Here are some facts everyone can agree to: 1.) Clownfish do not need anemones to thrive. Clownfish can host in anything from a feather duster to a powerhead. 2.)...

Aren't Maroons really aggressive? I don't want something that is hiding the whole time but I also don't want a terror in the tank.

The red bubble algae is the same as the red slime algae. It started in my tank as bubbles on a single rock, then bubbles on 3 rocks and then exploded all over the tank. Be grateful you have only the bubbles now. Here is what I would do. 1. I would get a really small powerhead and see if you...

I have one and I haven't had any problems with it. I've had it since Christmas and he has molted twice. If you are trying to catch it, I do have a suggestion. Mine really likes freeze dried krill. I will sometimes put a piece of krill in on a stick and feed it to him. I will also put some...

I've been dealing with bubble algae for the past two months and there is a lot of improvement lately in my tank. I tried a bunch of things and here is what seemed to make the difference: 1.)

I bought my tank from the Pacific Reef in Anaheim since it was on my way home from a work meeting. They were good guys but a little far to go to pick up a fish or 2 on the weekend.

I had the same thing happen to me for a while and I ended up doing a variety of things to take care of it. The first thing I did was learn how to pick fish. I think that in a lot of cases, the fish dying in the near term has to do with how there were collected and treated in the store. I used...

Hi, I live in sunny SOuthern California (Riverside County) and was wondering if anyone could recommend a good live fish store down here. I would like to find a store that takes care of their livestock and has a good selection. I haven't found one yet that quite does that. Thanks in advance

I almost punched out a guy at ***** when I tried to buy a small tank for a short term hospital/quarantine tank. He started lecturing me about the fish size and claimed he had never heard of people having a separate tank to quarantine or treat their sick fish. I just went down the street to...
