    What size does a huma huma start to get aggressive?

    I just have a suicidal huma huma that jumped out of the tank when I was cleaning it yesterday and I didn't even know until I found it behind the tank this morning. I was pretty upset because it was such a cool little fish and very docile, but then again it was only about 2.5" in size. I was...

    QT new huma huma trigger

    I just purchased a new 4.5 inch huma huma trigger. The guy are the store looked at the fish while it was in the tank like he was looking for something. I didn't think anything of it until after he cashed me out and he strongly suggested quarantining the fish with some stuff they had that was a...

    Trigger with cloudy eyes

    I do have a hospital tank set up, but I have been feeding it garlic soaked foods the last few days and it's eyes have seemed to clear up. I still have planned to do another large water change too, so maybe the problem will be fixed?

    Trigger with cloudy eyes

    The fish has cloudy eyes for sure. Like a thick haze over them. I have been giving the fish garlic soaked foods the past few days so I'll see if the problem gets any better. In the meantime, I'm think I'm also going to try another large water change to see if I can get the Nitrates down a little.

    Trigger with cloudy eyes

    I do run a protein skimmer. It's a Sealife systems moterized 75. It seems to do a pretty good job. I do have some filter floss in the overflow to absorb the water so it doesn't make so much noise when it splashes down. I never wanted to change it because of all the little pods and other little...

    Trigger with cloudy eyes

    I have a 72gal Fish Only tank with a sealife systems 100 wet-dry filter and a sealife systems protein skimmer. I also have about 15lbs of live rock and a 3 inch DSB. Could part of the problem be because I need to rinse or change the filter pads? The water paramaters are: ph: 8.2 Ammonia: 0...

    Trigger with cloudy eyes

    I have a 3.5 inch pink tail trigger in my 72 gallon main tank that I just bought about a week ago. When I brought it home it was perfect. Now each of it's eyes are real cloudy. I tested my water and my Nitrates are between 20 and 30 ppm. I did a 16 gallon water change a few days ago, but the...

    trigger with white blotches

    I don't think putting it in the hospital tank did anything for the fish except make it more skittish. Now everything I walk up to the tank the fish flies across the tank and hides under a rock. The fish still had the same whitish blotches on it after I took it out of the hospital tank and it...

    On Nikon's rebate form it says that you have to buy the camera through an authorized dealer. Does ---- count as one? Will they accept a ---- auction receipt?

    trigger with white blotches

    Ok, it's been a week so I took the trigger out of the hospital tank and put it back in the main tank. The next morning the trigger looked the same if not worse than it did before I treated him with the Maracyn-Two. It's starting to develop the stuff back on it's eyes and the white blotches on...

    trigger with white blotches

    Beth, The fish are eating a combination of krill, Mysid shrimp, Trigger formula, and silversides. Terry, So far the two fish have been doing pretty good with each other and I haven't seen them mess with each other at all. The puffer is a Blue Dot Toby. I'm not sure that the trigger had a...

    trigger with white blotches

    Beth, I know a 10gal is small for a the fish, but it's all I had that was up and running. Plus the fish are both pretty small. The trigger is about 3 inches and the puffer is maybe 2 inches. Right now I have a Aquaclear 150 running as a filter. I'm sure it's not providing too much cirsulation...

    trigger with white blotches

    Beth, I took your advise and bought some Maracyn2 to put with the niger in my hospital tank. You said use double dose for 5 days.. My hospital tank is only 10gal so I used two tablets the first day (last night) and the tank water has turned yellow and the fish seems to be breathing pretty heavy...

    trigger with white blotches

    These are the best pics I could get. It's kind of hard to see, but there are white blotches all over it's body and stomach area. I have noticed that it's color isn't as vivid as before. Also in the last day or so it has developed the white film stuff over both of it's eyes again. It's dies...

    trigger with white blotches

    Beth, The spots are like a fading of the skin. It doesn't look like anything is growing on the surface. Just some relatively large pale whitish spots on it's body. Originally I posted some questions about this trigger and Terry B. Told me to use some meds (which I couldn't find at the lfs) for...

    trigger with white blotches

    My trigger has been itching a lot and has these very pale white blotches on it's body. It almost looks like sun spots (fungus) on a person. You can really see them better when the fish hits a certain angle in the light. I think it may be a fungus of some kind, but I really don't know? What meds...
