Ok, so I did a little more research, and I found Dr. Marini's article on common bangaii ailments. He says one of the most common is known as lip fungus. Basically, he described exactly what my bangaii looks like. "The first being lip fungus. This usually presents itself as an extension or tear...

One of my bangaii cardinals has been looking weird since yesterday. She has been leaving her mouth open all the time while swimming around. She never used to do this. Plus, it looks like she has some white powder or like a soar or something on her bottom lip. I know she is not carrying eggs...

haha very true!

Second one...

I bought two bangaii yesterday. I tried to pick out the ones that looked most like a male and female because I was hoping for a mated pair. I tried to ID mainly by the jawbone (so hard!). I know they are not both male because they get along. Therefore, I'm assuming they are both female or one...

What kind of zoos are those???

Originally Bakersfield, CA. I live in San Diego, CA now for school.

Thanks for the advice! I have been looking into SDSU. I think I will try to contact some faculty in that department. I did do some research at UCSD this last year, but I think I will try to do some more of that this year. You're program sounds awesome! You have a lot of options! Good...

Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it!

What is the difference btw PC lights and the lights I have? Does this mean that I only have 80 watts of light in my tank??? I don't have the money for metal halide lights, so I know that clams are out of the question. I would like to be able to have mushrooms and anenomes, though. What would...

I bought my tank off of someone. Since I am completely new to this hobby, I didn't think to ask what kind of lights are in the hood. All I know is that the guy grew polyps and things in the tank before with those lights. It's a 75 gallon, and there are two long lights (about 4 feet long)...

These are my 3 tangs. It's hard to pick a favorite. :)

Very cool!

Well, thanks anyway, but I found him dead this morning. This is my first fish to die, and I really didn't think I would be this upset about it. I just feel like...if only I could have done something more.

My 3 tangs...

Does anyone know if there is anything I can do to help him???

I was just looking at him again, and he finally moved into another position where I could see his other side. It looks like he got hurt by something. Possibly stabbed by a tang? That's the best guess I have.

Here is a pic of the tank...you can see the chromis at the top right (where he use to swim...)

This is a pic of the chromis before he got sick (on the right). Sorry for the blurr...

I have tried to cool it down...it's so hard without a chiller. I have fans blowing on the tank, and I put 2 liter bottles with frozen water into the sump to cool the water. Any other ideas? It is just the chromis. The other fish look completely happy and well. They are all swimming around...
