The last pic looks like the spot is dark - it isn't. I took another. Also, I noticed his eyes seem to have this blue hue to them. Is this normal for a picasso. I had one long long ago, but do not remember the blue hue in their eyes. Thanks. Jane

I bought a picasso trigger 2 days ago. He's doing great in my tank and looks really healthy, but I noticed he has a pale brown spot on his side (he had this since I bought him). It is somewhat raised and is pale brown. It looks like it could be a healing scrape as I've read that picassos...

Also..they test the barrier reef because they are worried about it. Not that we are leaving it alone and all of the suddent here are problems. We humans mess with it, over harvest it, pollute it..and then out come the test kits. If we just left it alone ....well I guess there would still be...

I purposely told the fishman to give the tiniest 2 fish they had. They are about a half inch each. You consider that 'overstocking'? I guess for me putting anything in it when you know the bio filter isn't matured is stupid. I guess in that sense it's over stocked. Yeah, I'm stupid but I had...

Also, I never recommended 'cycling' a tank by putting fish in it. I'm not sure how you got that impression. I said what I did was eager beaver and it's probably better to leave the tank alone for 6 weeks, obvously testing the salt levels along the way.

Testing the water alone does not make it better. simply setting up a tank for a day and then testing the water and adding chemicals will not make it balanced, and if this is what you're recommending to new tank owners, you're wrong. The biology needs to grow - that takes time. What I'm saying...

that is why I said if things are set up right with the proper lighting, bedding, water changes, etc...I had tanks before for years..never a problem mr. test kit. Obviously you check the spec. gravity when you do water additions and add salt accordingly. You have proper mechanical and biological...

I put fish in my tank after a week and I have a 29 gallon. I put a blue damsel, a domino damsel and an arrow crab. It's been a few weeks and they are still doing fine. I'm not sure what the hype is about test kits. As long as you're not overcrowding, do regular water changes and make sure...

I saw a purple lobster at the lfs and everytime I looked at the tank, I thought, "hmm, he must have been bought, because there is no lobster in there"...the tanks have barely anything in them as well. Yesterday though I saw him. He's gorgeous, but I think you may be right, they hide all day...

Right now I have only an arrow crab. I have read conflicting info about his nature, but thus far he's not that aggressive. I am thinking about my next purchase - my favorites are a lionfish & the purple lobster. I had a huge lionfish years ago, so I'm familiar with their care and temperment...
