    i got a shark egg......now what?

    You probably should have thought about this before you bought the egg. What you want to do now is make sure you have the rights set up. Your going to need 200+ gal tank for a full grown one so make sure your willing to upgrade or have lined up someone to take him when he gets too large. As...

    Today when the aquarium actinics came on i couldn't find one of my clown fish. I searched around everwhere but couldn't find him. After the white lights came on he finally appeared from where ever he was but he was breathing really fast. Today when I got home from work he was swimming around...

    Baby snail?

    Are turbo snails known for laying eggs in tanks? I had a PVC house for a snowflake eel that I had a while back. I returned the eel a while ago and just go around to taking the pipe out of the tank tonight. When I got it out there was what looks like a snail stuck to it. Its about 3/4 of...

    Lion on eating strike

    This is not too unusual for lions to do so don't be too worried yet. A full grown lion can easily go a week or two with no food. Keep your water right and like you said soak it in garlic, that may help. I doubt hes eating pods, and even if he is he should still want the food yours offering...

    A few Ich questions.

    So it will still provide a biologic filter for my qt? I left the live rock to cure in a bucket for a week then put it into my qt to cycle it. If ich is just transmitted where did it start? Because i kept my lion in a my rubbermade qt for 3 weeks and there were no signs of ich. He was in my...

    Lion Eating.

    A small lion can go for a week without eating so don't get too too worried. But after 4 days I would try the feeders. Make sure you use ghost shrimp if you can as they are they most healthy live food you can use.

    Injured Hippo Tang

    Check the sticky (the top tread in this section) and see if it looks like any of the diseases listed. It sounds like it could be HLLE but a picture is worth a thousand words so post one if you can.

    I think most fish would eat pods. Are you having trouble getting your lion to eat?

    Happy Boxing Day

    Not really a holiday. Just a lame gimick to bring people into the stores. It worked tho. I bough a new QT and a refractometer and all sorts of good stuff from my LFS. 20-40% off ain't not bad.
