I know this is abit off topic, but don't u think blennys r the most awesome fish out there. I love my midas blenny (Goldie) I have countless hours of fun just watching the weird and funny stuff Goldie does in the confinement of her aquarium.

ok, I'm leaving Dubai to come back home to hv a baby in a couple of months and I hv no 1 to look after my tanks while I'm away. Does any1 hv any suggestions of what 2 do? I'll b away for about2 or 3 months. How long do those automatic feeders work for the longest I've found here is 1 week...

Butterfly fish r really hard to get to eat, good luck keep us posted and let us know how u went, I haven't had any luck in getting any of my butterflies i had in the past to eat, and they all died about 3 weeks after the day of purchase even though i had plenty of 'vegetation' growing on my...

Tangs and Surgeons are more prone to ich than other species (so I've heard and read) I had the same problem as yours in the past, but now I have a regal tang (which i got over 8 months ago) and it is extremely healthy, active and thriving. I think the trick is to pick a healthy 1 to begin with...

I'm using a refractometer and hydrometer. It finally cleared up and the emperor was in hypo for maybe about 8 weeks in total. I began to bring the SG up over the course of a week, taking it up by 0.001 to 0.002 per day then about 10 days after I got the SG up to normal levels the emperor came...

I was thinking of getting a pair of bangaii cardinals and pyjama cardinals. question 1: will the 2 species b ok together? question 2: is it true that they r nocturnal, if so what time of the night is it when they are the most active so that I can feed them then or can u just feed them as soon as...

thanks sep for the input, just 2 more questions, is it contagious, and if you don't treat it, will it kill the fish? thank you

I'm making a huge platter of sushi (gonna pinch some nori form my regal tang to make the stuff.)

My emperor angel developed lots of spots over the body and fins and i wasn't able to tell if it was ich, or lyphocysts. The fish developed these symptoms about 1 week in the QT after I had removed it from the DT(for bad behaviour towards a new tankmate). I immediately assumed the worse (ich...

I know that fungus is very rare in sw fish, but lets just say that if somehow a SW fish did get fungus, how do you treat it? I don't have any fish with symptoms of fungus, I was just curious coz u don't seem to find any information on the Disease chart in the archives telling u how to deal with...

If you system consists of fish and afew crustacians, then do u really need to worry about the Kh, coz i can't seem to get mine to go up no matter how much buffer or how often I use the buffer. The Kh is stuck at 7 degrees dKH and will not budge abit. thanks

If i removed the LR (which by the way have nothing growing on them) from my DT to vacum detrus of the sand, how long would it take for the bacteria to die off the rocks during this removal from the water? Would it be a better option to keep them in a bucket of water instead or does it take...

that's a really good idea. lets say hypothetically if I used something from 1 tank and put it in another tank but afew days later when it was dry but i hadn't washed it after using it in tank number 1. can a cross contamination occur?
