okay thanks for that advice... any one have any other experience with the mixing the two?

its just a purple one

My pseudochromis is only 2 inches long, will i be able to get a cleaner shrimp thats around the same size with out the pseudochromis trying to eat it, cause i noticed it says to monitor the pseudochromis with shrimp?

also would have to say nay to even one in that tank. tangs are very touchy, and things gotta be perfect because as soon as they get stressed, they get a infection of some sort and die, and i would hate for you spend a lot of money for one and nothing to show for it. 55 gallons will fit some...

well you need to take into account that fish dont have the same complex eye structure that we have. i cant say what they are seeing because i dont know, but its not the exact same thing we see.

it isnt uncommon for fish not to eat as soon as they are brought home... there is an acclimation period where they get used to your water parameters that every fish goes through when their surroundings are changed, it could be upwards of a week before he feels comfortable eating again. in...

my clown diggs a nice little dip in the sand all the time and is always making it even out. he sleeps in the dips. lately he dug out a dip in front a large empty snail shell that he sleeps in now.

wouldnt do it, i have a salt tank in my room at school but im in a house in my room where i can lock the door so no one can get to it. i had a little 2 gallon tank in my dorm to satisfy my aquarium keeping needs while iwas in a dorm but i wouldnt do anything higher than that cause you can...

i thought ive read that tangs when stessed can produce white dots on their skin... maybe thats it from moving them around so much?

may i ask where you are getting your water from to fill the tank and do water changes? when i started i was using tap water and conditioning for chlorine and had a lot of problems, it wasnt until i did a bunch of DI water changes with some new higher quality salt (than instant ocean) that i saw...

Been told that IO isnt very good, my LFS owner whos been doing this hobby since he was 9 (now 50) says that IO formula hasnt changed since then and the trac eelemts arent very high, not even in the reef crystals, he highly recomends TropicMarine, he uses it in all his tank once of which is a...

im not a fan of using chemicals... need to do water changes with DI/RO water, not tap, because that is sometimes where they come from, and yea feed a little less

yea after losing mine i think itll be a while b4 i try one again... those things hurt ur wallet

i wouldnt treat the entire the display tank, as mentioned in other places ich and other bacterial/fungal nasties are present in all home aquariums, it is water quality and good diet that keep fish unstressed and keeps them from contracting the diseases and allows them to fight em off. when you...

well as mentioned numerous times, ich is present in nearly all home aquariums, it is just water quality and good diet that keep fish from becoming stessed enough to contract it. if they are in good condition they can fight it off, which they for the most part do along with many other bacterial...

i would give it a few days, one spot just might be a spot he rubbed against a rock or something, when you get more than one id start thinking about qt tank and the use of copper or methylene blue/green, and as long as it is eating, should be okay just keep an eye on it (i know i hate being...

i would keep him in there until you notice that the fin degredation has stopped, it will take upwards of a month to for the fins to grow completely back most likely. and in truth bacteria, ich, fungus, they are all in every aquarium that are setup, just like there is bacteria and viruses on...

okay cool, thats what mines been doing, just didnt want it to be a sign of it trying to get out... thanks

i just got one of these, and like once a day i catch him on the glass movin around then goes back down and diggs back in. is it normal for them to crawl up the glass and find their way around? thanks
