    Puffer not eating 1-2 months

    Yes they (puffer, eels, etc.) get a HUGE variety: Clams, octopus, krill, shrimp, silverslides, and sometimes pellets. I have a snail and a couple crabs that have managed to stay alive in the last year so I know he is not getting food from alternate sources. I will try the garlic but I am not so...

    Puffer not eating 1-2 months

    My porcupine puffer has not eaten much of anything in the last month or so. We have had him for about a year +. He ate great then all of the sudden nothing. He did have a nasty eye infection that made his eye swell up. I thought maybe he went blind. But, even when i put food directly to his...

    Bought this eel...sulfur head or leopard?

    Is there any difference between the first and 2nd pic? Have you guys ever heard of a sulfur head or a leopard eel? Is it possible different regions call it different things? Just seems odd because he was so confident about it. Thanks for the help and clarifying all this. How long do these...

    Bought this eel...sulfur head or leopard?

    I bought this eel and I found it was called a leopard eel. The owner of the LFS says it is a sulfur head. At one time he owned 3 of the largest/best stores in Atlanta. So I think he knows what he is talking about but I searched and couldn't find a name...thoughts? These are the two pics that I...

    Volitan is gasping for air!!!

    The lionfish was only red cause he was irritated. None of the others were. I am familiar with the infection you reference. The aptasia have in fact died as a result of reducing the salinity. There was not one single good method in a year to kill the hundreds of rather large at times aptasia...

    Volitan is vertical, Gasping for air!!!!!!

    I have had my Volitan for 6mos+ in a 75 gallon with others. The trigger seems fine, the toadfish, the dogface puffer, snowflake and green eel seem fine. The porcupine and volitan are breathing very hard. My Volitan is the size of a small basketball. He is bright red like when he is alarmed or...

    Prizm Prot. Skim...where is your water line?

    I have a Prizm Deluxe protein skimmer. Where is the water line supposed to be at the collection basket on the skimmer. There is a cup attached (5in tall) that has holes in the top. Should the water line just be a bit above that? I have a terrible film on the top of my water which I suspect is...
