LFS mixed a new shipment of tank raised seahorses in a tank with 2 clowns that definitely have Brooklynella. I pointed this out yesterday and the owner immediately removed the clown fish from this tank. I had intended to purchase a couple of these seahorses but got concerned that they may be...

One of the LFS's has some yellow seahorses that are tank raised. I believe the owner because they are very small and eating frozen food. The problem is they don't know what they are called. They have the crown on the top of their head like my H. Erectus but I can't find examples of yellow H...

Just amazing! Got to watch the birth of over 100 baby seahorses today. I didn't have the camera handy for the big release, but I did get a short video of him releasing the last 2. Sorry these are so large but not sure how to convert them to something more web friendly. Hope you enjoy, I know...

Woke up on Wednesday to find the mother of the babies we had a couple of weeks ago had died. She appeared to be doing just fine the night before, eating and hanging out at the front of the aquarium like she did every night. I'm not positive, but it looks like her mate might also be carrying...

What type of salt do you use for hatching brine and what salinity works best? I have been using the salt that I use to mix my water for my reef and even though some hatch, just not sure I've got the mixture right. Any suggestions?

What is the largest water change you would recommend for a 29 Gallon Bio Cube? I need to transfer about 14 gallons to a newly established seahorse tank and I'm concerned this might upset the balance of the 29G tank. I do have bio balls, bio filter and about 20 pounds of live rock in this tank...

Came home from work to find about 50 baby seahorses swimming around in my seahorse tank. I've tried to round up as many as possible and put them in one of those plastic containers used for freshwater fish having babies (sorry don't know what the technical name for this is but it floats on the...

Have a Tomini Tang that has large blotches on both its sides. This fish came from a LFS that uses copper to kill parisites. Could copper have caused this or might this be something else? Any suggestions for treatment? Thanks for looking and any help provided!

I have a Blue Spotted Jawfish that appears to be breathing hard and looks like it has a raw patch of skin on both sides near the tail (I couldn't get him to hold still for a better photo) and his tail looks like something has been chewing on it. I have not see any of the other fish in this tank...

Trying to determine the species and would also like to know if the darker of these two is a male.

Has any of your seahorses had babies and if yes, did any survive? What did you feed the babies after they left the pouch? Got a pair that act like they want to have a family.

Is there a problem with taking longer than 48 hours to reach hyposalinity? I started hypo on Friday night (removed 2 gallons and replaced with 2 gallons of fresh RO water) on a 55 gallon tank. Replaced another 2 gallons before leaving for work on Saturday morning at 4:30 am and came home from...

I have a pair of Clark's clownfish (wild caught from SWF) that have been hosted by an anemone for almost 6 months. Went to feed them last night and found the larger of the two with all but her tail engulfed by their anemone. At first I thought she was dead, but then she wiggled her tail as if...

I have been told by many in the hobby that Copper is the only "sure" way of killing Ich. If this is true, why use Hyposalinity and not copper to kill these parasites? I have 2 longfin bannerfish (Heniochus acuminatus) in QT and both appear to have Ick (even though they both came from a tank...

Getting ready to upsize my 125 to a 210 tomorrow. Just curious how long I should wait before putting corals and fish in new tank. I plan on using most of the water and all of the LR I had in my 125 (plus adding another 70 pounds). All readings are perfect in the 125 and would like to get the...

Anyone happen to have a telephone number for this company? I have tried e-mail with no response. Thanks.

I have one of these fish in Hypo that got stuck in a piece of live rock when I tried to catch him to move him over to a hospital tank for hypo treatment. He finally managed to get unstuck after about an hour, but it appears he damaged his side and dorsal fin on the rock. He seemed to be doing...

Hope it is okay to post this here. I need a telephone number for the company that makes or distributes these refractometers in the USA. I am trying to find a replacement lenses cover and the store that I bought it from said they can't get this part. I can't believe you can't get parts for...

Can these little guys survive 5 to 6 weeks in Hypo? Have one of the Scooter Blennies in a tank with a Kole Tang that has gotten Ich. I know all fish should be put in Hypo, but worried about this fish starving to death with no pods, no live rock or live sand in my QT tank. Any suggestions?

Sepulatian, You mentioned in another thread that nothing but fish should be put in hypo. I recently read on another web site that snails with hard shells and hermit crabs can survive in hypo, is this correct? I have a 20 gallon tank that seems to stay in hypo and it would be nice to have sort...
