If he truly didn't cycle the tank then I advise your friend to say away from saltwater tanks untill he reads some. You should never cycle your tank with fish in it. Nitrite is lethel to most fish and is cruel to your fish. Hopefully your fish will survive but make sure your friend does...

I have a huma huma trigger and I love it. However it did eat 20 of my snails. I would never put in anymore inverts in my tank. However, I introduced a minitus grouper and the grouper is the king of the tank now. I don't know how they would be with a smaller fish since the grouper I got was...

I have had my Singapore angel for about 3 or so years. I have read many websites that say that they are hard to keep but I have had no problem with him or any other angel. I feed my fish( 2 damsels, 2 False clowns, and the singapore angel) once a day. I give them normally about 1/3 a cube of...

Make sure he eats well at the LFS.(ask the store to feed him right there so you can watch him) I have found this to be the best way to see if that fish has a good chance of eating in your tank.

I have had my miniatus grouper for 6 months now and he is the king of the tank. Before I got him I had a picasso trigger in there for 6 months and then waited 6 months to add the grouper. The trigger took a snap at the grouper and the grouper snapped back. Ever since the miniatus grouper is...

Update: Fins are all most fully recovered. (Shocking if you would have actually have seen them when I found him.) He is eating Formula 2 and brown seaweed selects soaked in Zoe but not as aggressively as he once did but that may be yet to change. He is swimming around and doing fine except...

I went to the grocery store the other day and they had garlic juice except it has some kind of gum in it and citric acid will these things harm the fish? Thanks again
