My cowfish is showing signs of ich. If I added a cleaner shrimp, would the shrimp clean off the ich or would the cow eat the shrimp. I know they love crustaceans. Or would a fresh water dip be better?

Its only a 30 high, so thats why I am trying to remain within my limits. I have been doing this awhile and know that all that is said in this message board is true with respect to which fish will and wont work. I saw an orchid dottyback and its beautiful but it was around 45 bucks so too much...

I am interested in getting a royal gramma but have heard that they can be aggressive. Is this true? In reality I am looking for a smaller purple fish. If a RG isn't the best option, what else should I consider? Thanks I currently only have a jawfish and am considering a Flame Angel

anyone??

Is there any risk with what I have now? Has anyone killed their fish with too much / little sand?

I just started up my tank again. Its a 30 gallon high. I added aragonite to the bottom. I have it at about 2 - 3 inches. Is this too much or too little? Please let me know, because I have heard that gas can accumulate under the substrate if water does not get to it. Thannks

Thanks, will do

I live in Cleveland and the tap water here is horrible. If I fill my tank with half RO and half tap, will that be OK? Also, after the cycle is done, do I do a 50% water change? Thanks.

The problem I had was that the fish was staying at the top and not breathing. I asked my lfs and he said that there was no oxygen in the water because my phosphates were high. Now I know that its my water. I have heard that Cleveland water is bad. Thanks everyone for the info!!

What is the smallest tank one can use for saltwater? I know the common answer is 55 gallon, but are there people out there that have had success with smaller? I have a 30, and have not had much success with it. I think I had too much live rock in it and the phosphates went too high. I have an...

It was a bit older food but I have used it before with no problem and he usually just inhales it. It was Formula 2. I am still in shock after seeing that.

My maroon clown has been doing great for months now and last night I was feeding him flake food and he was swimming around eating it and then started freaking out. He was lunging back and forth and then just died. What the heck happened. Its almost like he had some food stuck in his throat and...

I do use tap water for everything. I should look into using water from my lfs. I will do that, thanks!!

I do acclimate them and have never added coppper to my tank. I have loads of algae on my back glass and also some long algae on my live rocks. I will try one more and acclimate the way it was mentioned before. Thanks

I am having trouble keeping my turbo snails alive. I have a 30 gallon that has been up for about a year now. All levels are in the normal range. Does anyone have any answer for why they keep dying on me?

MY LFS had 3 and none of them ate so I didnt buy them. I really want one but dont want to buy it if its not eating in the store.

Does anyone have any experience with these fish? I am thinking about getting one for my first fish in my tank. I can imagine that they are fairly delicate but I have perfect levels right now and about 15 lbs of lr in my 30 gallon. I am planning on only getting 3 fish total. Thanks!!

I'm from Cleveland.

This is one topic I believe I can help with. This is completely normal. Just leave the shrimp in the tank, eventually it will decompose to nothing and will take you through your whole cycle.

I used shrimp to cycle my tank and it has been working beautifully. I am at my nitrite spike right now. My question is when do I take out the shrimp. I imagine that it is just giving off loads of ammonia, but when should i take it out of my tank. Thanks
