My 12" snowflake eel just quit eating. He used to be pretty aggressive and latch onto any meaty food (shrimp, fish, krill)I gave him with a feeding stick. Now he barley gives it a second look. Other fish in this tank are doing fine, no sign of disease. He looks fine but I can't imagine he can go...

This has probably been asked before but I am not a "regular". Do tank raised percula clownfish associate with host anemones? I have heard that they won't becaue they don't know how to. Does anyone have personal experience with this?

I have a new blue linka starfish, only 10 days old and the tip of one arm is all opened up and seems to be rotting away. What should I do? The closest store (where I bought it) is 80 miles away so I have little immediate local help. Thanks.

I purchased a lionfish about 10 days ago. He has turned very dark in color, much deeper browns than he was in the store. He is eating chunks of raw shrimp fine but hides a lot behind rocks and does not move around very much. He is the only fish in this 20 gal, tank. Salinity, Ph, amonia and...

Can anyone tell me WHAT and HOW OFTEN to feed a lionfish?

It sounds to me like most are not happy with the "Skilter" skimmer filter. Now I would appreciate finding out more about the "Cyclone Backpack" models of filter/skimmers or anyother brand people are happy with. This is for an established 29 gallon tank that I wish to convert to a reef tank.

Hi, I have a small 29 gal. tank that has fish and inverts but not corals. I want to venture into some "beginner" corals and need advice on filtration. All I have is an undergravel filter. Can you recommend a mechanical filter/skimmer product for a small aquarium. I have read about the "Skilter"...
