What you are seeing is most likely copods and amphapods. These are benificial and wanted in a healthy tank. They make a natural food source for most fish and play a key role in the nitrogen cycle. I have learned a lot on these threads and you can also. read as much as time allows there is a lot...

I have noticed what look like small maggots(only skinny) swimming in my tank. They are very fast and pretty small but you can clearly see them. The biggest is maby a quarter inch or so. Probably harmless but I am wondering if they will turn into something. Maby a larva stage. I had a callico...

Great advice about the mandarin,,,but I also have a 40 and have a very healthy mandarin, and scooter blenny that both eat the pods. It is a healthy tank and the mandy was in good shape (size) when purchased. I have noticed a decline in the pods but make no mistake they are reproducing. also...

keep a watch out the goby was/is probably just hiding. they can bury themselves completely in the substrate,(I think) my blenny does every night and they are similar to gobies.Anyway I dont think anything in your tank can eat it overnight(might be wrong). Still learning... Good luck. Let us...

I can not get all the pics I used to. when swf.com re vamped the fourum now I only get a few pics. Is there something I am missing or doing wrong?

I agree,, if your duster was not damaged and "left" the tube, then he should be fine. Do not get impatient though it may take a while for it to build another tube. Mine threw its feathers at the pet shop so I had to wait for them to grow back. Two weeks and they are small now. Just keep him...

I was amazed how much algea my sea urchen eats. I paid 10 dollars for it and it is fantastic. It is small and black with quills everywhere and cool blus spots. Very interesting to watch. Caution though I read their mouths are so strong they will scratch acrylic tanks. I believe that. also they...

Just wanted to let ya know I read the other day that green brittle stars like to hunt when larger. I was looking up info on my brittle starfish and found some very interesting stuff. I have a bubble tip brittle and want to get a green brittle, just watch him if your clowns do mate. If you want...

I have a USA Current Satelitte system...it has to do for now. I HATE that 7000k/10000k bulb...the light is too yellow...it makes me crazy. Fish store guy said to replace with a 10000K and a 420 actrinic(sp)...as in replace the 7/10 dual w/ a 10K and replace the 420/460 dual with a 420. I...

I agree on the mandarin and actually I have had one in there for over a month, I have upwards of 50 pounds of lr and also 20 pd ls. my tank is very healthy so far. I was worried about the food supply till I introdeced the live sand, I now have lots of copods for him to eat. I can see them at...

I do not yet have a picture of cally which is unfortunate would have loved to photo the way she looked taken care of eggs. Anyway there is a link on this search engine if you type in calico crab you will get a few pics under others. one had two under lepord crab, these bottom two resembled my...

there is a 5 pound piece in there and I am givein them zooplex plankton, thanks for the feedback, there are thousands maby a million of these guys, they are cool but i do not expect to have more than 10 survive. I have read it is natural to only have 1 to 5% survive in the wild even. But that...

I am new here and I see you had a litter a couple years back, any luck what happened? I have a calico that has been carring her eggs around for a few weeks and they hatched today, Babies everywhere in an isolated tank.

I am looking for ideas for a main fish for a 40h. Looking for beauty as well as personality. Ideas welcome,, still researching many fish.

What is your substrait??? I have a 40h and about 40-50 pounds of lr. I would recomend getting a bag of live sand as well. I did and in a few days I had copods clinging to glass{good sign of life}. Also good food source for a few species. The brand I used was agri-alive available at most lfs. 20...

Noisy isn't it..:D I had a 250 on my 20g, but it has been replaced. I don't even think the Skilter filter is any good...I was constantly having to change filter pads. Sorry, I feel your pain. Is it too late to take it back to the store for a refund? On 2nd thought, if you still have the...

I don't understand the skimmer..it really is not pulling any skimmate. It has been running for 2 weeks! I levelled it and have slowly raised the cup each day...I just see bubbles in the tube. I have lr, ls and a clean up crew in the tank...it should be pulling something, shouldn't it? I bought...
