    Help with Identification

    I have what appears to be a clam or something. It is brown. It came from a rock that I have had a year now but I only found him recently. It has a white/Clear mouth like a thin or wavey lining of some sort. It looks like a clam shell except the shell is shaped more like a U in size, not a...

    Lighting??????

    Not sure what hqi and se means but if I can atleast have zoos multiply as well as mushrooms I will be happy but I would like to put corals in there that require strong lighting. My problem is that I can't find a retrofit MH lighting system that will fit a 30" length aquarium. I would spend...

    Emperor Angel and Corals

    Are there any corals that an emperor angel would not eat or nip at. I was told mushrooms may be a way to go. Any advice would be great

    Could this be "ICH"

    actually that was perfect. That was what you were looking for. Might I make a suggestion now. Get a couple of cleaner shrimp and he should be healthy for now on.

    Blue Hippo Tang - wounds/scratches

    Just put a clear drinking glass in there and chase him around till he runs in there then close the other side with the net. It would be better if you didn't cut him any more.

    Could this be "ICH"

    If your asking about the fresh water dip then you can use the five gallon tank to do it because the fish won't be swimming around that much. Also declorinate the water and just let it sit for a day and make sure the tempature in there is the same as the tank. Make it less stressful as possible...

    Could this be "ICH"

    You want to declorinate the fresh water, have the water tempature the same as the tank. Make sure the fish is not already stressed out, for example breathing heavy. The fish may not make it if it is already stressed out. I actually lost a fish doing this because he was already too stressed...

    Could this be "ICH"

    I am betting the fresh water bath will help. The tang is stressed out and probably has a parasite or two inside of him. A fresh water bath will get them out and after he calms down and adjusts to the environment he will be fine. I seriously doubt this is ich. Most people misdiagnose ich. It...

    Could this be "ICH"

    I don't see anything either and I am betting it isn't ich. A couple of questions. Where did you buy the fish? Did you buy them at a lfs or from here, basically wondering if you got them shipped? You may have a parasite in either fish if they were stressed out. You can give them a fresh...

    Cleaner Shrimp

    LOL I don't think he was cleaning the crab. He dragged it all over the place. Another question. If a fish is stressed due to acclimation, does the fish ever recover or continues to be stressed out? I am assuming the fish would convert to its surroundings within a day or two but I am still...

    Cleaner Shrimp

    Hey what do these guys eat. I just got a couple in and wanted to know. Also one seems to have pulled out one of my crabs. I don't know if it was already dead or the shrimp killed it. It seems like the cleaner shrimp wants to eat it. Thanks in advance

    Need help with identifying

    I am almost positive it isn't ick. I could be wrong. He is still eating a lot and it is just on his face and eye. I recently bought the protien skimmer and that is when it appeared. I don't have access to a camera. i am going to do a water change and see if that helps, but let me know about...
