Am I crazy? I had a fire shrimp for 6 months. Always stayed hidden, but came out when food was available. Other fish include - Yellow Tang, small Hippo, coral beauty, 2 percs. Would any of them have eaten my shrimp? I've looked everywhere, and there is no sign of him anywhere. Would any of...

My coral beauty is eating my yellow tangs rather large bowel movements. Someone want to explain what's going on here? Anyone had this happen before, or do I just have a special fish (or sick fish)?

My blood shrimp has molted twice in a month. Once right when I put him in, and once again during the month. It is very normal for a shrimp to molt when they are introduced to new surroundings. No worries.

Well, that solved that problem. The hippo and beauty are killing those things. Thank you for the help. The coral beauty will occasionally take a piece in and then spit it out, but I'm assuming that's just a picky fish? Thanks again.

OK, I have a stupid question. But I'm new, and I once heard that there is no such thing as a stupid question. I have a new Coral beauty and Hippo. I already have a yellow tang, 2 clowns, and a fire shrimp that eat flakes and seaweed selects great. My new coral beauty and Hippo are very...

I have a fire shrimp in there that hasn't touched them. He's only been in the tank 1 week and stays hidden most of the time, but is there any chance of him coming out and eating them, or is it just a peppermint shrimp delicacy?

I recently added 30 more lbs of live rock to my 75 gallon FOWLR tank. After researching other threads on this site, I can tell that I have an outbreak of aptasia. I have 2 bigger stalks, and I can see other little ones beginning to pop up that look much like the bigger 2. Many people say on...

I recently bought some LR from the lfs, and it has a similar looking structure growing on it. However, mine is much lighter in color - almost milky white. Can Aptasia be that color as well, or could I perhaps have a feather duster on there? To me, they look very similar. Curious?

I have a 2 month old 75g FOWLR. Up until last week, had 25lbs of LR, 2 Ocellaris Clowns, 1 Yellow tang. Tang and Clowns had great personality - swam all over and would come right up to glass to see me. Last week, I added 20 more lbs of LR and a Fire Shrimp. I added the new LR and moved the...

I have a 75g FOWLR with 2 percs (1 inch each) and 1 yellow tang (small). As far as feeding them, the LFS gave me some flakes for the percs and said to put in a pinch of it 1 time per day. For the tang he gave me dried seaweed and said to put in about 2 squarie inches 1 time per day. Is this...

I like your first list for your 75g. As far as cleaner shrimp are concerned, does anyone know at what point you would add him to the collection? Early or late?

Also, if a Tang is definitely not going to fit in a 75g, could I replace that idea with some sort of Angel or Butterfly? I want as much color as possible, but also must have them get along. Any suggestions there. Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion. I know triggers can be fairly aggressive, but I've read that Picasso's are the least aggressive of the triggers. Am I OK to put the Picasso with your suggestions? I just really like the look of it and would love to have one.

FOWLR Fish order of entry? [hr] I have a FOWLR 75 g tank that has cycled for 4 weeks - I have about 45 lbs of live rock to allow room for swimming. Readings are good and I'm ready to introduce fish. Here is my wish list. 2 Perc Clowns 1 Powder Blue or Regal or Naso Tang (any suggestions on...

OK, if I cut my list for my 75 FOWLR to: 2 Perc Clowns 1 Powder Blue Tang 1 Porcupine Puffer 1 Picasso Trigger What order should I introduce them, and how much time in between each introduction? Thanks for any input.

I'm in the same boat with a new 75 FO/LR currently cycling. Here's what I'm thinking about adding. Any advice is welcome. I'll of course add these one at a time and slowly over time, but here are the fish I like: 2 Percula Clowns 1 Powder Blue Tang 1 Porcupine Puffer 1 Saddleback Butterfly 1...

Thank you for the feedback. It sounds like I should get some LR for the start. I plan on putting together a 65 gallon reasonably nice tank for my kids that includes clown / puffer / angel / etc - possibly some inverts down the line. Any suggestions on the type of LR to get for this group of...

I'm a beginner, and I continue to hear differring opinions on live rock from different fish stores. Some tell me that live rock is a necessity, but others say that I should just cycle the tank using damsels and live sand, and that ultimately live rock is not necessary for a healthy FO saltwater...
