    choosing a starfish

    Thanks for all of the great info and sorry for the delay in my response--I posted the thread and then went on vacation! My 30 gallon tank is 6 months old. I have about 40 lbs. live rock and 40 lbs. live sand. The live rock has developed very well and my water parameters stay excellent. With...

    choosing a starfish

    What is the best starfish for my 30 gallon fish-only tank? I currently have a bangai cardinal, clown fish, and pseudochromis. I'm not too crazy about serpent stars or brittle stars (they look a little too much like spiders to suit me!) :scared: I was wondering about the linkias or knobby...

    I thought I researched the sandsifter seastar before I got it, but.... after I got it I learned that my tank is probably too small for it (29 gal). Is it possible to target feed them? If so, how and what?????????????????????? :help:

    Brittle stars

    This is probably a crazy question, but when feeding a starfish, do you put it on top of them or under them. :thinking:

    Is it possible to keep cold in the summer?

    I was having the same problem. I removed the glass top and got a little clip on fan at Target for 7.99. I positioned it where it blows across the top of the tank. So far my temps have been staying much more consistent. Good Luck! :happyfish

    Am I feeding right?

    I have a clown, cardinal, and pseudochromis in a 30 gallon tank. At my LFS, they told me to feed them 1/4 of a cube of frozen fish/squid/ etc. Should I be giving them any kind of supplements or doing anything else? I have had them for about a month and so far they look pretty healthy.

    Terror of the Tank

    I have a purple pseudochromis who rules the tank. She is definitely the alpha fish. She keeps forcing my cardinal fish to a back corner of the aquarium. Every time he attempts to come out, she charges at him and he runs back. I've never seen her actually touch him but she won't let him out...
