Middle son is a Cpl in the USMC. They recently held their ball and this is a pic of him and his girlfriend, who is in the Navy. They are both E4 so they have to get along! I think it shows in the pic

Wow! I haven't been here in what seems like years. So many changes and not many familiar names. I used to mod here so I remember Beth. The place sure has changed a lot. Not nearly as active as before which is a shame, but I digress. Still in the hobby after 15 years, only with a smaller tank...

4 mos isn't really a good gauge of time with this fish. It seems they fail after having had therm for quite awhile. At a marine conference a couple years back, there was a discussion about this species. The speaker asked how many people had kept a potters and a bunch of hands went up. He then...

Much depends on tank size. The two should coexist but as with many butterflies there may be some pushiness from time to time. In a large enough system, they should be okay.

Really not a beginner fish. One of the more difficult centropyge angels to maintain. Much has to do with diet, IMO. I've kept three of them at various times. Only one thrived. The other two perished after seemig to do well for awhile. Stick with an easier species like a coral beuaty, flame...

Your tank is really not suited to a PB tang. They are good sized active fish that are prone to aggression. This is worse in a smaller system. Very difficult fish to maintain, even for many experienced hobbyists. I'd add another clown of the same species. If this is a FOWLR, one of the hardy...

Thanks for the kind words. Beth, the dog was nosy and was watching us take pics out the door. Ironically, it was the dog's 5th birthday; he was born on Halloween! We get big crowds. People are at some points lined up 20 deep to go through. We also have a lot of folks texting/calling their...

A perfect Halloween night: chilly, but no wind or rain. Over 600 trick or treaters and some great scares. The mayor of Erie even stopped by and chatted for a minute! Day pics taken about two hours before TOT hours began The dungeon scene. Two actors were stationed here and could squeeze...

You're dealing with more than just ich. Ich itself would not kill all of those fish so quickly. The symptoms you describe on your SF tang also point to other problems. You mentioned you had water quality issues. Post the actual parameters. There may be a clue here. Is your Q tank even cycled...

Color loss can be attrributed to various things; stress, malnutrition, poor water quality, etc.. Can you post real numbers for your water parameters? The whire specks could be ich, even if the others show no symptoms. A pic would help confirm this. IME a 120 is quite small for such a fish. How...

My Dad in WWII. He was 18 at the time fighting in a World War My two oldest sons Middle son (on the left) in USMC Security Forces Training Next time you can't get comfortable in your bed, or you have to park a little farther from the Walmart entrance, think of these guys and the sacrifices...

In many cases, they tend to pick each other off over time, and a small shoal of 7 will end up as a pair. The schooling behavior is more obvious in a larger tank with larger fish. This causes them to school for safety. If they are in a fairly peaceful setting, they'll tend to behave more as...

Currently at Camp Geiger, N.C. 1st platoon Charlie Co. ITB Was made a squad leader. Graduates on the 31st then transfers to D.C. for his MOS; Presidential Security.

We use Blue Buffalo as well. Switched to this from Pro Plan and the dog loves it. http://www.bluebuff.com/

Your tank is grossly overstocked. It's not the number of fish. You have to account for adult size, swimming needs and compatability. The regal and vlamingi tangs will not thrive in a 90. If you've ever seen a vlamingi in near adult size you would agree these fish are not suited to the vast...

IME, small bottom dwelling fish like gobies and blennies are not suitable tank mates for an eel. Snowflakes are not piscivores (fish eaters) by nature but will sometimes go after smaller fish that stay on the tank floor. Chalk it up to experience but I'd stay away from any more fish from that...
