Will a foxface eat buibble algae? That's what the LFS said.

I don't want any damsels in my main tank, but I have a 20 gallon I would like to put a few little fish in. Are there any damsels that I could put together, or will they all fight each other? What about a damsel with a sixline? I'm nervous to put a sixline in the main tank since I hear they are...

I have a 20 gallon tank I would like to set up with fish that I can't put in my 75. The 75 is a reef, so for the 20 I want to have a couple fish that are either aggressive or not reef safe. Any ideas? If I chose fish that aren't invert safe, how do I keep the sand and rocks clean?

Thanks everyone.. We took it out Monday night. I didn't want to give up on it, but it was looking bad, and I didn't think it had a chance of surviving. I wonder if whatever killed it was the same reason the xenia closed up and turned brown. I just don't get it, there is not a thing wrong with...

Thanks for the responses so far. The tank has been running since before Thanksgiving. Here are some pictures.. Maybe this will help. It doesn't look like it is melting, and the slime is not coming off of the outside.. It's like the foot is pushing itself out through his mouth.. if that makes...

On January 19th we bought a long tentacle anemone. It filled with water the instant we put it in the tank. It moved a few inches the first day, then dug right into the sand and was looking great. After about a week it started to uproot from the sand and move around on its side. Since then...

My pink and blue goby is actually sharing a cave with a cleaner shrimp. I just got the goby on Friday and he's showing a lot of personality.

Originally Posted by sepulatian I highy doubt that one shrimp killed the other. He may have eaten the dead or dying shrimp, cleaners do not fight at all. After they molt they hide while the new shell hardens. It can be a week, but if he is new to the tank then it can be a little longer. Are any...

I just got a cleaner shrimp last Friday. (Well I started with 2, but while drip acclimating, one attacked the other and killed it.) Now since the it's been in the tank, it has done nothing but hide. It came out once over the weekend when I dropped some pellet down by its hiding space, but...

Thanks. I will just set up the QT with water from the main tank, add a piece of rock and let it cycle for a while. I will probably do hypo in QT to avoid killing the critters in the sand. I was hoping I could avoid having to net the fish and move them.

I'm going to set up a QT tank this weekend. I know that it needs to cycle, but to help this along, can I fill it with water from the main tank? Do I just wait until the water tests at 0 for everything or is there really a minimum amount of time I should wait? I do not plan on using copper...

I have a powershot a620 and the underwater housing- the wp-dc 90. On my first trip I used it on several dives and had no problems. On my second trip, after 8 dives and lots of snorkeling, I noticed a few drops of water leak in through the lens area. The main o-ring was never an issue, it...

Yes, I am serious, though you didn't say the sharks came up to you, you just said "riding a whale shark". I'm a certified diver as well, and I remember learning in every level of certification to leave marine life alone, and not to ride or grab animals as it can cause unnecessary stress. It's...

Very cool.. But the person in that picture is way too close to the shark. I thought everyone learned in scuba certification not to touch or ride sea creatures! Poor animal must has been sterssed out!

I’m looking to get a goby to help keep the sand in my tank clean. Are any of these sand sifters? Blue Spot Shrimp Goby Yellow Watchman Shrimp Goby Golden Headed Sleeper Goby If not, can anyone recommend a goby to help keep my sand clean?

We cycled our tank with yellowtail damsels. The bigger one started chewing the fins off the smaller one, so we spent an hour chasing after him. Finally got him out after moving all the rock. We thought the little damsel would be fine once the aggrsesive fish was gone, but it just attacked the...

I am using Melafix. I just went with the recommendation of the guy at the store. My blue hippo tang got what appeared to be Ich, but none of the other fish were showing signs. I put the filters back in on Saturday and have not taken them back out. We had an issue with snails dying, and I got...

On Thursday I removed the carbon filters from my tank to begin treatment for a sick fish. My fish store said that if I didn’t remove the carbon filters, the medication would be filtered out- just watch the levels and do a water change if necessary. I started with all levels at 0, but my...
