    How low can salinity go for fish?

    well, 0 for FW fish, after all, you didn't specify:D ;) really, I think I read somewhere that they can only be in 0 for a few minutes and that, of course, increases as you go up, but I don't know for sure.

    pods usually don't attack each other, maybe a pistol baby, but to me it looks the exact same as my baby cleaner shrimp

    Mixing clowns...

    I have had sucess mixing black percs with true percs, not added at the same time. But with a more aggressive species like maroons, I would either add them at the same time or don't add any more at all. Just my opinion.

    Tomato Clown Fish

    Whenever the lights in my tank go out my clowns "go to bed":D The two percs go float on their sides at the top and the saddleback(or black perc):rolleyes: goes to the bottom in a rock dent and curls up, it is so cute to watch them, and in the morning they "perc" right back up;) So they are...

    pistol shrimp babies???

    you said you feed the larger pistols every once in a while, why don't you grab a fine mesh net and try to catch the babies with some bait? Put an irrisistable food in the net and try to catch them. Sorry if this doesn't work, I have never had this problem before

    Mating cleaner shrimp...

    Bang guy is right, they are pretty much both male and female at the same time, they will mate and both will have fertilized eggs.

    The Ups and Downs of Anemones

    Good info, I made the mistake of buying a condy when my tank was no more than two months old!:eek: It thrived in my tank, but I ended up having to take it back because it was so "aggressive" or as aggressive as an anemone can be.

    55 gal new fish suggestions

    The GSM kind of sets limits, but I love to watch my clowns interact with my striped psuedochromis, a little agressive sometimes, but you need something to hold its own against the GSM. Maybe a few large chromis, or a nice coral beauty, flame angel or bicolor. These fish are kind of small...

    New leaf mushroom! good deal or rip off?

    Yes, good idea:D I guess they think it was too cheap and they are worth more than a $30 shroom, cuz they hang out around it but they don't get in it, oh well, maybe they need some more time.:D Or maybe its a good thing that they don't want a host, cuz nothing in my tank makes them feel like...

    New leaf mushroom! good deal or rip off?

    Yesterday I went to my LFS and saw a nice sized leaf shroom on a small rock for $30. Naturally, I bought it because I collect mushrooms. There were actually two shrooms on it, what do ya think? did I get a good deal or was I ripped off?BTW, my clowns are in love with it, perfect "anemone".;)
