    Fishnapper?

    Well, I have been reading up on these mantis...still not sure if I have one. I don't even know if it's the cleanup crew because I have had 3 clownfishes and another tang die on my, but I've found them dead on the bottom in the mornining.

    Fishnapper?

    Hi, I am the other half of ID52. Yes, we do have live rocks. It is so upsetting to me that the clownfish and now the coral beauty have simply disappeared. No signs of any parts of there body (is that the word) anywhere. How can they simply disappear. The coral beauty was fine the other night. I...

    Thank You ALL!

    I had posted a few days ago about my fishes (damsels) so soon after setting up the tank for the first time per instructions from the LFS. Everyone one who responded were so helpful for me to get a better understanding on how to prepare the tank (cycling) for fishes to live, not die. Everyday my...

    What am I doing wrong?

    So basically what you are saying that it is not wise to set up a tank and put fishes in it a few days later. I can't understand why the clerk who owns the aquarium store wouldn't even tell us that. He made it sound like all you do is put the water in it and immediately after, you can put the...

    What am I doing wrong?

    We just purchased a 50 gal tank so that we could start our saltwater aquarium. We got the filter, lighting. heater, thermostat and live sand. We put the sand and water in the tank and got the filter going. We were told by the clerk that we should start out with damselfish before getting into the...
