    Reason number 37,250 not to shop at petkill(*****)

    Triggerfish Compatibilty?

    Yes, I've looked into the harelquin tusk before and it looks like a cool fish but I would prefer some smaller schooling fish. I was hoping that I could keep a trigger with some small(er) fish but, from what I've been reading I don't think it'll work. I would still appreciate some responses on...

    Triggerfish Compatibilty?

    Hi, I'm thinking of getting a Niger triggerfish but I don't want it to be the only fish in my tank. In a 150 gallon tank, could I put a large angel or some clownfish or some other fish besides aggressive types? I don't see many people that keep triggers with non aggressive fish.... Any ideas...

    150 gallon.... what equipment?

    I would like to do a FOWLR so the lighting won't be a big expense. I was planning on a DSB and good amount of live rock. I would need a good skimmer which would run, about $200, right? Don't I need some type of filter? What about a Eheim 2229? It's a wet/dry filter that seems to be a...

    More than two clownfish?

    More than two clownfish?

    Hi everyone, I'm new to saltwater setups and I'm starting a 65/70 gallon FOWLR tank. I would like to get some tank raised false percula clownfish but I'm confused on the issue of how many. I would love to have more than just a pair but I'm not sure if it would cause lots of fighting and...
