In one of my original books...which I loaned out so I don't know the author, he stated that you measured the'body' not the finnage or nose...therefore....on a tang....which may be 6" from snout to end of tail.....and 4 1/2 " from top of dorsal to bottom of anal fin....you can clearly see the...

Since there are several discussions on fish size vs. # of Gals of water.....let me ask everyone a question. I've read both of these in variuos aquarium books. One says...when you measure fish....you DON"T add in the head or tail....fish size = body size. The other states fish size = tip of...

Oh Yeah!!!! My tank is one year old this weekend and I just wanted to THANK those of you who helped me out during the year!!!! I followed your advice on population (took several back to LFS), feeding habits, setting up a clean-up crew...and most of all....READ alot BEFORE i acted!!! Again...

My puffer is all over a feather duster, I start hand feeding the puffer some krill to get him away. The Duster releases something that then sticks to the rocks.....looks like a cob web. Also, an emarald green 'ink' comes from the tube....will this foul my tank??? Are my Dusters....done??

I feed my tank a little mixture of crushed freeze dried krill, frz brine shrimp, and a little chunk of frz bloodworms. I let them melt first and then put it in the current. EVERYBODY eats!!!!! Including my Valenti Puffer (I've had him 7 months and he stayed under 4 inches) A little later in...

I just took delivery of my clean-up crew and 3 FDs from SWF.COM, followed directions and put all the criters in my tank. After about a half an hour....one of the Dusters opened up fully and a little after that the 2nd one opened about half way. The 3rd one did nothing for about 2 hours, then...

Thanks vibe.....I see you have about 13 hermits in a 10 gal tank......so I should go with the 50 they offer in the pkg. I do have several large pieces of Lace Rock...which I thought would act as protection......but the serpant star's legs are about 5' inches each....and he just went in there...

My tank has been cycled now for several months. I've only added 5 turbo snails (I think one died this week....do snails lay on their backs/hole upwards for two days without moving??) Anyways....I'm reading the ad here on SWF.COM about the Big 20 reef pkg...and there lies my question. Do I want...

Buy yourselves a book that not only identifies the fish but tells you how large they will grow, what they eat and how compatable they are in community tanks. This way you'll avoid buying expensive 'pretty' fish that become a 'pretty good' dinner!!! I'm sure everyone will agree....the more you...

FSHHUB......THAT'S FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Although I'm extremely happy with the varity and colors of my fish....my favorite is actually the snowflake ell. Simply because I hand feed it I cup my fingers and the ell wraps itself around my thumb and stays inside my hand. Eats about 4 or 5 freeze dried krill (small) and then swims away...

I was wondering when someone would mention his "first tank" comment Frozen guy your at it again.........you ask the MOST questions and listen the LEAST. You should change your handle to Doctor Kevorkian!!!!!!!!1

Now you get to hear from the retired people!!!!! There's an old saying.."Why work for someone else for 40hrs a week when you can work for yourself for 80!!!!" I agree with the question...would you enjoy it as much if it were a job??? Also, you would have to hire and TRAIN assistants....it's...

I added some Turbos and a couple of Peppermint Shrimp as the start of a cleanup crew. The Serpant Star...which was usually in hidding...came walking across the front of my tank in the middle of the afternoon......he/she REALLY enjoyed the shrimp!!!!

Hey Justlooking.......about your fish. I asked about a skimmer on this board, because I was a little overstocked. Everybody responded with..."Take back some fish!!!" I didn't want to because they were small and colorful and peacefull...but I was doing a 20% water change every friday. I...

There are 2 items you must inquire into. 1.) Personal Property Loss....in other words....the value of your set-up and what $$$ you would lose if it was destroyed. 2.) Personal Liability...this is how much $$$$ your damage would cost your neighbors and building owner....from a leak or fall...
