Heithingi, I'm going to have to agree with SaltwaterMarauder on this one. Stainless Steel is usually composed with most of these elements in varying quantities Carbon Manganese Silicon Chromium Nickel Vanadium Molybdemum Cobalt Sulfur Some of these are harmless, but as you can see, There are...

There are a lot of disadvantages when it comes to keeping octopi. The first being their longevity (or lack of). Many species will not live over a year. I think average lifespan is from one and a half to two years. They can not safely have any other tankmates. They are also Extremely...

As far as the pics go, i'll definately have to post some. I have final exams for the next two weeks, and probably won't be on the boards too much for that time. after exams are over i'll take some pics and do my best to get them online. Do you have any of your tanks? i'm always looking for...

Well, as far as tankmates and personal experiences go, i'm going to leave this one up to the experts. I can tell you that this is a Guineafowl puffer (Arothron meleagris) Another form of Arothron meleagris is the golden puffer. Expect to pay a reletively high price for him. (usually between...

SaltwaterMarauder, I am new to keeping agressive marine fish. The new puffer is my first. I know that making mistakes is probably inevitable, and the last thing that i would want to do is pass these mistakes on to others. So, please feel free to correct anything that i say that you feel is...

Saltwater Marauder, Yikes, i'm not sure if you got the idea that i was going to keep a porcupine (or any other puffer for that matter) in with my dogface. But, no, the dogface is going to stay the single resident of his 260g. While i do have room to add some other fish, i am not going to...

Kind of funny you should mention that... My parents just got back from LV. and had lots to say about Mandalay bay.. Can't wait to see their pictures! :)

Honestly, i don't know too much about the temperment of the stars and stripes puffer, but the dogface can be rather territorial. Considering that both puffers are in the same genus (Arothron) i would assume that they both will exhibit somewhat similar demeanors. Keeping these two together...

yup... definately an undulated moray

actually, the LFS that you bought your undulated moray at had him for sale under the correct name. Gymnothorax undulatus is the latin name. Undulated morays are nocturnal, and in their natural habitat will feed on fishes, molluscs, and crustaceans. From the info that i have gathered, they...

i did a search of the periodicals in msu's libraries today. unfortunately i came up empty handed. i also checked the reference books but again, not anything that would help you. i'm going to keep my eyes open, and if i maybe come up with anywhere else to look, i'll give it a shot. If we can...

I looked at spawning and reproduction of D. holocanthus today, and found a few possible things to take into consideration while attempting to make this work. (i should have written down the sources so you could obtain copies for yourself) First off, reproduction in the aquarium has occured and...

I've always believed that the best way to have success in a controled aquarium environment is to understand the animal's behaviors in the wild. I am a Zoology student with a concentration in marine biology at Michigan State University, and have access to seemingly infinite numbers of...
