He'll let you know when he's hungry; I used to feed mine a couple to a few times a week. If he gets really hungry, he'll start to prowl around. They grow pretty quickly; at 3 inches, if healthy, he'll double in size in six months or so and be a foot long in a year. Enjoy him while he's small...

It's funny how advice varies. 1. Ending six or so years ago, I had a 55 with a large porc., an undulated, a niger and a snowflake moray. Plenty of rocks and hiding spaces in the rear of the tank (tip: I had a very large conch shell with a tiny chip out of it at the top which the snowflake...

I'm setting up a 75 gallon, of which 10 gallons will be taken up by an IFS filtration system walled off along the back of the tank. It's been a few years since I've had a tank. Thinking down the road, does anyone have any thoughts on the short- and long-term compatability of the following fish...

Back in college, I had a 29 gallon with a huma huma trigger, a porcupine puffer (who would bite the glass on occassion), a snowflake eel and a blue damsel. The blue damsel (which I had purchased to condition the tank) was big; the rest were (as you can imagine) small, although they were all in...

Puffers will also puff up when under stress generally (e.g. poor water quality, temperature fluctuations, etc.), not just when scared.

OK, no game fish or sharks in the 65 gal. office set-up. So, what are your thoughts on keeping a slingjaw wrasse (one of the coolest eaters I've seen) with the more agressive triggers (e.g., undulated or clown) and a porcupine puffer in a 65 gal.? I believe these fish would work, but I've just...

Thanks all.

Hello! I am an avid fly fisherman (catch and release only) and am establishing (after a long hiatus from marine aquaria) a 65 gallon saltwater tank in my office. In the past, I have had all sorts of the fish that are discussed here under "Aggressive Setups." I am wondering if anyone has any...

Thanks for the info. If anyone disagrees, please post. Otherwise, no sharks for me.

Hello all. I've been without a tank since '97 and have just ordered a 65 Gallon IFS set-up for my office--I don't have room for a bigger tank there. I would love to have a shark in it. From what I recall and have read (including searching these archives), 65 gal. is too small for ANY shark...
