My tank is covered with copepods, which is why I need him. I have a fish only tank now because my guppy had babies and they are in my extra tank. The medicine is supposed to be coral safe. He looks really good Saturday morning! His color is totally back and he's swimming around happily. Maybe...

Hi! I have a mandarin I bought two weeks ago who started getting slime or fungus on it's body Thursday. Wednesday afternoon he was swimming around and colored normally. Thursday night he came out and he initially looked lighter in small areas. Along the sides higher toward the back and the...

Thanks guys! Sounds great! :joy: Fishy1 :happyfish

Hi! ***) I love this site and it sounds like they put lots of care into shipping, but I'd like to hear if it really works well. I have been ready for a small octopus for months and my LFS is still looking for me. They have them here, but it's such a vulnerable species; hence the question...

Hi I got a new test kit for my tank that measures alakalinity in the water, which my last kit didn't. It says my PH level is steady, but my water has to much calcium in it. How do I lower this level? I add Kent to get my PH up to 8.2 and that is now steady and has been for months. I did not...

Yes, I was just reading what everyone else suggested in the other octopus thread. I have most paramaters ready, but the top of my tank is being added to in the back and I don't know how to keep him entertained. Thanks for your suggestions, I'm going to google. Fishy1 :happyfish

Hello! I am looking for an octopus and see the blue ringed are poisonous; my fiance doesn't want a poisionous one. Are the plain type for sale on this site poisonous? It doesn't say what kind they are. Is there one that isn't (without regard to inking)? Thanks! Fishy1 :happyfish

thanks!

Hello! I have my fish in a QT tank (2nd day). I am currently feeding them all an anti-parasite food, but am concerned about the mandarins diet when I switch back to normal food (my anti-para-site food says to feed this type 3 days, skip 4 and repeat for 1 month). I am having trouble getting...

How do you soak their food in garlic? Just add some fresh cut up garlic to the food for a few minutes? An itty bitty bit, say 1/16 th of a cube of frozen food squares? I have them in Quarantine and will leave them there for 6 weeks as you suggested. I think you're right when you say some...

Actually, I corrected those numbers in the second post. I test my fresh water tankk at the same time and was going from what my numbers always are. They are at.022 to.023 salinity and I have to add PH mix, but it is always close to 8.5. Sorry I messed that up. How much garlic????????? :jumping...

Yes, this tank is only 46 gallons, but I'm looking for a 180 gallon already. I like that size. My batfish is only up to 2 inches or so right now, not to worry, he'll be okay! :joy: I am using copper in QT tank along with the anti-parasite food. I have noticed that the UV seems to keep things...

My salinity is 1.023 and my PH is 8.2 h*

Hello! The disease forum is not responding at all yet and I do have a tall tank for him right now. Fishy1 :happyfish

hello! :D Fishy1 here, I've actually already had 2 batfish, the last one was 10" and died when we moved. I've had this tank for 2 years and move them to a bigger one when they get to 6" or so. I don't have much problem with them usually. I think he had this problem when I bought him three...

hello! :D I have a one inch batfish who has had a clear coating (semi-white) on and off. I've had him for 3 weeks, and took him in after 1 for the same thing, but to a lesser degree. My fish store says it's just excess stress. I accidentally forgot to turn my UV Filter on Sunday after cleaning...
