not as big as an oriental, but I think they get about 7" but I could be wrong. They eat like pigs though -- very high metabolism.

Black and White sweetlips. I've had it for almost 2 years.

here's a link to some new tank pics. Just got the tank back together after an ich outbreak - my first ever -- so it has been a trying couple of months. I took these pictures as I feel that this was the first time I'm happy with my tank in months...

thanks guys.

a while back I remember seeing pictures of someone's large reef which was situated over a room in above the garage. The light system was on a floating track above the tank. The filtration etc. was in room below the tank. Does anyone know of a link to pictures of this set up?

I have had my naso tang for almost three years now, and just last night, after no unusual behavior or eating problems, the fish appears to be dying. It just lays on its side and occasionally moves, but it is clearly going to die. I am just wondering what could cause a seemingly healthy fish in...

First of all, feel free to use the picture. I do have a tank that I can set up for a hospital tank, but I was concerned about maintaining water quality in the small tank given the large size of this fish. Knowing how important water quality is for curing this type of infection, I was not sure...

After battling some water quality issues that are now completely resolved, I noticed that my blue face had a cloudy eye which I began treating with maracyn baths. They did not work and I've moved on to furacyn. The fish is doing quite well despite his new handicap, but I am wondering if an...

The only thing that is bothering me is that when I test freshly made salt water the ammonia is zero, so I am thinking that there is something with my tank that is causing this high reading, while all indications are that it is probably not ammonia. But my guess is as good as anybody's as far as...

also the reason I mentioned keeping oriental sweetlips is because they are notoriously sensitive. I figure that if it is doing well, then the ammonia cannot possibly be this high.

no offense. i just wanted to avoid wasting time with the obvious stuff. Anyway, I did buy new test powders, thinking it could be bad powders, but the results are the same. It's just such a mystery.

I have done three big water changes in this time and the ammonia will not go down. Also, I have been in this hobby for fifteen years, and I feed properly and have plenty of filtration. I successfully keep oriental sweetlips, and this fish along with all the others are behaving normally. I...

Just wondering if anyone has seen ammonia levels this high in an old tank. My tank has been going for five years with the same ammount of livestock. It is fish only. The ammonia has been testing this high for two weeks, despite several big water changes. The fish are all doing fine, so I am...

by the way, i've been using a poly filter for the past two days and it is not turning the yellow green color that you would suspect if it was absorbing ammonia.

I've considered the fact that the tank could be cycling, but I cannot imagine why. The tank has been set up for 5 years and is fish only, no live rock. I don't ever remember seeing a a blue reading on this test during any cycle on any tank that I've ever had. If it is recycling for some...

For about two weeks now my ammonia has been in the 3-4 range on a FasTest. I know this because i called the company to find out what it meant when the tester turned from green to blue. Anyway, I have bought new test powders and have the same results. After extensive investigation and water...

For all of those who always say that an oriental sweetlips cannot be kept for long and are hard to keep, my sweetlips of four years has suddenly died. I have to say, it is a devastating loss for me as i have taken great pride in keeping this fish for so long.

My blue face angel has suddenly started to shred my blue tang and naso tang. These fish have coexisted for over three years with no problems, and the only thing that has changed has been the addition of new rock, which I have used to create some caves for the fish. Could this have created an...

I have had mine for over three years and it is doing great. It eats everything that I put in the tank and is always moving around adding a lot of life to the tank.

The striped fish is an oriental sweet lips
