    Okay, who here names their fish...

    Obey wan's mind tricks work on all the fish except for Nemo. Nemo still gets bad vibes from him and chases him out of his personal space. Everyone else lets him hitchhike wherever.... even my gobies and blenny. BTW, I forgot about Penny the Blenny. She is a lawnmower

    orange dot + yellow headed goby

    I did not get any answers on the orange dot and yellow headed goby question, but I figured I'd reply to myself since I could not find anyone who knew if the 2 were compatable in case others wondered too. I took a chance, added a yellow head and sat at my tank for days to protect my poor one eyed...

    green algae

    Algae is slowly going away. snails are doing their job.... but taking their time. I might pick up a few more. The nudibranch has not been seen in about a week. I assume he is alright somewhere, but it is hard to see my LR very well because of all the algae still on the glass. It does me no good...

    ? for yellow tang owners

    Chances are the neon goby will go back to the tang. My neon lives on my yellow tang. They are quite entertaining. My tang seldom goes to my cleaner shrimp to get cleaned. Now my coral beauty on the other hand gets serviced by the shrimp on a regular basis and the goby doesn't go near him.

    green algae

    I ordered the snails online. It was cheaper that way, so I'm crossing my fingers and hoping it works. First time buying anything living online. I would treat them like any other invert I bought at a pet store. No additional precautions need to be taken right? Am I under the right understanding...

    green algae

    Thanks for the input... I already to use the cut to size filters, which are not helping in the least. I have about an inch of LS. I'd like to add more sand, but I'm not sure just dumping it in would be the greatest idea, so if there are any suggestions how to do it? Anyway, I did adjust the...

    green algae

    i have a 40gal tank with 20# LR. When I added new lights (1 metal halide and 2 VHOs) green algae grew rampant in my tank. If I clean it off the sides it just makes my water green/cloudy. otherwise my water is clearish if i leave the algae on the sides. Before the new lights I had no problem at...

    orange dot + yellow headed goby

    I have an orange dot goby. I was under the impression that he would sift the sand, at least in his territory. I have had him for 3 weeks now and he doesn't touch the sand. He does accept brine shrimp and pellets though. Would it be ill advised to add in a yellow headed goby too? I have a 40gal tank

    ID creature/bug

    Since I have had LR for 6 months or so and have never had an issue with this flesh eating bug, I came to the conclusion (after my initial freak out episode) that this creature was most likely feeding on bacteria off of a wound on my fish...... however, could it be possible that it was feeding on...

    ID creature/bug

    The other day when my lights turned on, I noticed that my orange dot goby was missing an eye. On closer inspection, I saw there was a bulge over his eye the same color as his body (clearish greyish white). While I was trying to figure out what was wrong with the goby, this creature jumped off...
