It is a zebra hermit. Heshe (?) is known as a left handed hermit, due to a larger left claw than the right. Just for a heads up. I have had red,blue, and zebra in my tank. About 50 each of each species. I now have mostly blue and zebra. I might have one red left. Maybe. Blue and Zebra are...

I had a pencil urchin for a while, he would eat both the macro and micro algae in my tank. He would eat just about anything that I put in there, meaty foods and greens. I finally gave him to my father in law for his tank, he needed an algae eater.

I had one for a while, he would eat just about anything. I finally traded him back in, as any new fish, he would attack the hell out of. Beautiful fish, just was too aggressive in my tank.

I have seen my cleaner kill one of my zebra hermits before. Not really sure as to why, just all of a sudden, he did. It has only happened once that I have noticed, but to me, once is enough.

I will talk to him, and find out the H2O parameters. He is running a ~100 gal. cube aggressive tank. I will check the other forum as to diet. What can he do to get rid of the bacterial infection? Thanks for all your help Beth!

I have searched a bit, but cannot find the answer on here. My father in law has had a puffer for about 6 months now. Was doing great, was being fed krill mostly. He ran out of krill, and was feeding mysis for a time. No problem there, the puffer would just INHALE the mysis. He just started...

So I guess the 20K question is, what do you feed pods? I am looking to boost my pod count, so I would personally be interested.

Also, bubbles will cause salt creep above wherever the bubbles hit the top of the water line. Whatever kind of filter you use, make sure that there is surface agiatation of the water. I.e. a powerhead blowing around the top of your water, etc. This increases the O2 transfer into your water. Set...

Are these kind of green, with intermentent white stripes? I have one of these, my LFS said green metallic which I think is total BS. I am curious also.

Mine was shy at first, but now he "people watches." i.e. whenever anyone looks at the tank, he swims right up to the person's face and stares at them. Kind of funny! He also does this to the cats, but I think he just likes to terrorize the cats.

Weird, my green hardly grows, but the red out competes all the other colors (pink, red, green, gray). I wonder if each people's specific lighting denotes what color grows quicker?

My used to plow through hair algae. Now the only thing he eats is food that I feed all the other fish. O well, still a cool fish.

For a long time my LMB would just eat algae and algae pellets. Then, he just started chowing on shrimp, flake, really anything else I put in the tank for food. He now pretty much ignores algae, just goes for the meat. I turned a herbivore into a carnivore. I am such a bad person....

Bump. Is there anyone out there with a DAS system at all? I've got a few questions / ideas for anyone out there with a DAS system.

I would probably try a lettuce nudibranch, or sea hare. These will probably have to be spot fed once all the algae is gone, since they will go through the algae. I understand about hawkfishes. I had a christmas hawk, and I could not keep shrimp, or small hermits. He would usually leave the...

Just for a heads up, DAS = Dutch Aquarium System. i.e. means that the sump, skimmer, heater, all built into the tank. So, the question. I have one of these kind of tanks, and I am looking to DIY my protien skimmer. I just think that the skimmer could work better with a little ingenuity. So does...

They do better in pairs, but I have had a single for a while (His pair didn't make it), and he has been doing well. He is always out, but has a bolt hole that he hangs out in. CBS I've heard are fish killers. Granted, I haven't had one, just reading some of the posts out there. I would take...
