    Clownfish - black blotches/spots on sides

    Ok, thanks for the replies... but I don't have any corals or anemones in the tank. It's a FO tank. What else might it be?

    Clownfish - black blotches/spots on sides

    Hi, I have a Tomato Clownfish (about 3-3.5") that I've had for several weeks now. He's in a 55 gallon FO aquarium with 2 yellowtail damsels that I bought a while before the clownfish (I didn't use them to cycle, I used raw shrimp instead), and a few crabs and snails. The aquarium is well...

    Do you believe in evolution?

    Do I believe in evolution? Umm... no. IMO, evolution is just silly. o_O The earth is only about 7,000 years old, and there is plenty of evidence to prove it. God made the earth in 6 days, and the Bible literally meant 6 days. But there is no real evidence that the earth is billions and trillions...

    What are the pros and cons of having a Snowflake Eel-?

    Pros - really cool, beautiful, mostly peaceful, stays fairly small, will eat just about any food after being trained, reef-safe, easy to find & inexpensive Cons - eats crustaceans and really small fish, very good at escaping, add a lot to the bioload, hides during most of the day, can be hard to...

    Unusually aggressive SFE - killed Dwarf Lion!?

    I bought a 7-8" snowflake moray eel last week, and I already had a 2.5-3" Fuzzy Dwarf Lionfish in the aquarium (55g). They did fine for a couple days, but then a few days later when I woke up one morning, the lionfish was almost dead, floating around upside-down at the top of the aquarium. The...

    Snowflake moray eel

    Mine is about 7.5", I just bought him last week. I feed him small pieces of shrimp and krill, and he loves it! He took the shrimp the first time I tried feeding him (the day after I bought him), but the guy at the pet store told me he would have to be weaned off of live food first, before he...

    Snowflake Eel Losing Color & Won't Eat! Please Help!!

    Snowflake Eel Losing Color & Won't Eat! Please Help!!

    I have a 55 gallon FO aquarium. I bought a 7.5" Snowflake Eel about 2 weeks ago, and when I first got him, he seemed to be doing fine. He was fed feeder fish (rosy reds) at the pet store. But I fed him freeze-dried krill after I bought him, and he was eating really well. Then a few days later...

    Really? The guy at the pet store said the Snowflake Eel would only eat crustaceans in the tank, but not fish! Do you think the clownfish will still be alright for a while since the eel is so small now (7.5"), or can he eat the Clownfish now?
