    scarlet reef crab?

    JM Without a pic, it's hard to tell what crab you've got. One mistake we make when we are new to the hobby is assuming the LFS has enough knowledge to keep you out of trouble. That assumption would be wrong in many cases. The LFS owner, if he knows anything at all, is many times not around...

    did I mess up?

    dottybacks

    Hi dathem They say anything is possible but, in the case of two dottiebacks in a 55 I'd say better have lots of rock work for the less dominate one to hide from the bully. Also, the lessor of the two may actually starve to death if he survives the beating. LOL The Old Salt

    Hi Daisy Welcome to the Saltwaterfish.com message board. It's true, you will find a lot of good information coming from the members. But alas, you will need to wade in and get your feet wet (actually just your arms and hands). You are going to find that what someone says works for them may...
