have had 3 lionfish , other 2 lived over 6 years , my new one is about 2 yrs old , but very large for age . He has just stopped eating 3 days ago & it not at all even interested in food ( very unusual) . I have even tried to change up on him & still no response ! He seems healthy , other...

he's actually looking better ( i think he knows i'm talking about him ) , I will set up a jail-tank in morning for him . Should I medicate using same diet , so he feels more comfortable , or introduce something all-together different so he won't recognize the meds? & btw , thx on the...

He is so frickin spoiled , silversides bore him . He will only eat what i can make look alive in the current. I never thought of using crab meat & i do have an abundance of mahi usually ( my buddy runs an offshore charter) , i do agree about mixing up diet , but at same time I also have...

you are setting my girlfiend at ease a little bit but , as you just said , the cloudy eyes are what is bothering me too. I have tested every possible thing i can 10 times over & all is good . I have great water flow , but an unusual accumulation of red algae lately . But fish , urchins...

The diet he gets is frozen shrimp 2 days a week & fedder fish ( rosies) once a week . Sorry if i didn't make that clear earlier , my bad ! everyone else snacks on brine , but he isn't phased by those little guys !

I really appreciate the good advice ! I actually thought i noticed signs of ich , but ended up being air bubbles from water being too low in sump ( i know , i'm an idiot , but we all have done it ) but... no signs of ich , but also seems like he is molting ( skin seems to be...

My lion fish ( 4 yrs old) has cloudy eyes & seems to be molting ? Lost a kale tang few days ago , & everyone else in tank is very active & seem healthy. I'm freakin out & would love a little input on why my lion is in this way . I'm no dummy & all my water levels are fine , calcium a little low...

details are as follows , feed him live & frozen shrimp 3 days a week ( we know that lion fish have very slow metabolism & we have never changed the diet in 4 years. We have a 300 gal. & he has always been the happiest one in the community . that is why we are freakin out , he just...

I actually made the time after work tonite to actually read thru your 975 replies on here & i'm feeling pretty stupid right now . Not only do you have your bases all covered , you have the covers for your bases covered too ! You have alot of very smart people ( including you ) ...

great idea with dedicating a portion of your garage to the fish room ! But , i'm sure someone has already asked you where you live ! Is this tank going to safe from dramatic temperature changes. Would you like to sleep all winter in the garage of a house in South Dakota? I'm sure you have...

i have two pairs of gorgy branches , but one pair is having problems.... Only one of the two is fully polyping , the other seems to only partially polyp under moon light ( their favorite time to filter feed ) .... any ideas on why everyone else is doing great & one branch isn't? I'm not...

just had to comment on that ! It's sorta like fresh grouper at a resturant in Chicago. Or fresh alligator bites in Anchorage.

what is the reason for copperbands being so stubborn , that they will actually starve themselves ? It's very disturbing & i refuse to buy another one for the fear of killing it ! I've had two already , & i feel so guilty when i have to sit there & yell at the tank ...." eat you dumbazz...

That is a frickin awesome addition to any collection . I would scroll right by that fish on any website with a price tag like that . Is it a type of "sailfin" ? Probably one of the prettiest fish i've ever seen avaliable for personal aquarium. Good job bro , make sure you keep that...

I hope i didn't come off as saying the Niger was a peaceful boy , he's not ! But , if you must own a trigger & you value your other fish , the Niger is the least aggressive , still aggressive , just the lesser evil ! It's like pickin up a chick at a bar .......... " 2 chicks sittin at...

that was the smartest answer i've heard , nothing against anyone else , but i never even thought of the temp difference. Our surface water here is usually low 80's , but where he was caught was in 90 feet of water , probably 15 degrees colder. Thank you very much bro !

hey bro , if you must have a trigger , i'd stick with your original choice ( niger) . Unfortunately , triggers are damn awesome looking , but very aggressive !!! the only docile trigger is the niger ! I know , it sucks , there are so many killer looking triggers , but if you have any...

About 2 inches in length & will grow to size of it's surroundings .. The hawkfish is very durable & funny as hell to watch , stands on his fins like they are arms , very cool & active fish . I've had a few , & i think the Hawaiian Hawk is visibly the most beautiful of all the hawks. Stay...

i have a 300 gal. semi-live reef setup ( if that makes sense) , a buddy of mine runs offshore dive tours & about 3 months ago , he surprised me with a fairly good-sized octopus ( body was about size of a baseball w/ 12+ inch arms ) I had never owned an octopus before solely for the reason...
