I have a green bird wrasse for about 6 months. I was looking at getting another one and i wanted to know if that would work out well? It is about 6 inches long in a 200 gallon tank with the fish below. The one I was looking at is around 4-5 inches. Blue Gill Angel - 6 inches Emperor Angel - 7...

Monthly I have someone come in and do a 25% water change, change filter pads and one a once over on the sand. I am going to start doing this myself but I wanted to get a complete understanding of everything involved before I cut the cord. In regards to the Angel it is only in one eye and I am...

This is a fish only tank, The emperor is usually aggressive with other fish at times, but has not been lately. No other fish are showing aggression towards him. I do not have a quarantine tank, what size would you recommend? I have someone come in to do water changes each month. However I am...

The one eye is enlarged. I just noticed that this morning as the other one is fine. I will make a donation to a charity of your choice for helping me out. In regards to food what would recommend on a daily basis? I provided the size of each fish and the exact food I have can you give an idea of...

Just did a water change which I have done every 3-4 weeks. Nitrates 0 Nitrites 0 Ammonia 0 PH 8.2-8.3 I feed every day but not the same thing. Very rarely is there anything left to eat. One day silversides, mysis shrinp, prawn shrimp (I thaw them in a cup of water from the tank then feed) Next...

Can anyone recommend some specific testing kits with Manufacturers name? I only get my ph levels checked once a month. Also my salinity?

I am new the hobby (about 9 months in) so this is a new one to me. My emperor angel has HLLD. Looking for a solution to resolve it. I have noticed that he does not eat any of the seaweed sheets anymore. So it could be due to poor diet. I have heard soaking some of the food he does eat in...

Forgot I got a green bird wrasse too

Just an update the fish seem to be doing fine. The coloring on my achilles does not look well, but he is eating and he is acting like usual. I think maybe the stress of the move affected him because his coloring changed before he got back. I am also not seeing any rubbing against the bottom or...

My fish are pretty chill for now. I finally got a group that is getting along well with each other. They do not go after really anything and they eat every other day. I feed them every day but its really every other day. between real feeding days they get the algae sheets.

Here is a video of the fish http://youtu.be/AMadVewHgUg

200Gallon Fish only tank. All of my fish had to go stay at the LFS because of the hurricane knocking out power. I ended up getting them back 6 days later and we did a 25% water change on the tank the same day. The harlequin Tusk died for no idea why. He had not eating prior to leaving and my...

Gas lines are still super crazy here. I lucked out and my LFS who does all my water changes has picked up my fish until I get power back. Gas lines are a few hours and then they run out of gas. Cannot even get oil for oil change on a generator. Just lucky he has power.

Thanks for the info guys. I got a space heater running close to the tank and I have my water at around 73 right now. I expect to be running this for another week. In the case that I do run out of gas. Can the fish make it at 60-65? I know its important I keep the same water temp and not heat and...

Thanks dude for the advice. The generator can power the entire setup no problem. I am going to look for a space heater that I can add some more temperature to the room. I think that will improve it enough. I just don't want any big swings in temp so I will make sure the header is something I can...
