Firefish!! they are cute and small

One of my Clarkii clowns laid eggs in the corner on the glass, they were also very protective. My tank is 125 gallon and when they would swin off just a little, the eggs got eaten right away. I posted here for help and everyone told me that it's almost impossible to keep them. Good luck!~

I bought 3 emerald crabs becuase I had a green algae problem. I was told they are reef safe. I few days after I put mine in, I caught them eating my hammer. I now have NO crabs in my tank, my experience has been that they are all nasty little critters, and I will never put another crab in my...

We have occcasionally found crabs that came with our live rock at night while looking in with a flashlight. These little suckers will eat anything! We have lost of corals this way, some of our snails, though, tip over easy and die. I have learned to get the little snails and keep NO crabs in...

been there, done that and still doing it. They say algae is a sign of a healthy tank. Get a bunch of snails for the sand, sand sifting gobies and hermit crabs for the rocks. It has worked for us. How much and how often do you feed your fish? Is your tank near a window? We've cut down...

I had a huge break out of green algae on the sand and all over the glass. I was told that algae is a sign of a healthy tank. I ended up getting a bunch of snails to get the glass and a magnet clenaer for the glass as well, and some little hermit crabs for the rocks. So far it looks good. I...

I bought a bulb last weekend. The clownfish at the store I bought it from was just having a good ole time in it, so I bought it and was hoping my 2 Clarkii would do the same...not a chance, it fact the bulb is shrinking. I hope it doesn't die, I've lost 2 in the past, but was assured the bulb...

I got out all 3 of my emeralds and they are doing ok in a different tank (only fish in this tank). My hammer is ok. Hopefully it will grow back what has been eaten. I know this hobby is trial and error and everyone is going to have thier own opinion. I will stay away from ALL crabs in my...

I found out the hard way about having ANY type of crabs in my reef tank. I recently bought 3 emerald crabs, from advice from others off this website, and they were all munching on my hammer. I have taken every on of the crabs out except for my sallylightfoot. I will never buy a $3 crab that...

I asked everyone a few weeks ago about green algae problems. I was told from several people to get emerald crabs, that they were reef safe and they do a good job on algae. That they did, also I found all three of them eating my hammer when the lights were out. Get advice everyone! If one...

I ordered 3 emerald crabs from petwarehouse.com and 2 of them only had 1 arm. They seen to function ok w/just one. I don't see them very often. They must do all their work at night. They are kinda scary looking, but do a get job on my green algae.

We have been having HUGE amounts of green algae on our glass and all over the sand. We have a sand sucker, sallylightfoot and snails but they all stay on the rocks. Our tank is 125 gallons. Do we have to scrub the glass everyday? It sucks! What other fish should we get? We have had our...

I had 2 clarki claowns in my 125 and the fish store I went to said they like anemones, so I bought one. We've had our tank up 2 yrs and they said they are easy to care for. It died after about 3 days. Our clowns loved it though. I tried a different kind of anemone last month and the same...

I see you are from Arvada. I'm from Aurora. Do you have any favortite fish stores in the Denver area? You have beautiful tanks. My husband wants a 300 someday. We have a 125 and 55, and those keep us busy enough. It's a great hobby. We're still pretty new (2yrs) at this. We have lost a...

I got one from a fish store and it was the coolest thing I've ever seen! I bought it and put it in my 125 and it went under the sand and I've never seen it again. Has that ever happened to anyone?

I ordered 3 fish and 3 corals from them last Sat. I gave them the wrong e-mail address (opps!!) and they said they would e-mail me when they get ready to ship my order. No phone #'s to call them. Has anyone had problems with the fish etc from them?

we have a 125 and lately we have sheets of green algae on the sand. We have 2 snails that don't eat it, lights on only 6 hrs a day and feed only 1x daily. We have heard that emerald crabs are good on green algae, but will they eat our corals? and how many should we get? We did a water change...
