It has been this way for about a month. I searched photos and didn't find anything like this. Are the big bubbles normal coming right out of the body?

It seems I learn something new all the time. There are sure lots of critters to know about.

I looked it up and I am pretty sure that is what it is. I don't have anything in that tank but one fish. I sucked them off the glass with a medicine dropper. I will keep an eye on it and see if I got them all or if I need to take additional steps. Thanks

what the heck? or these? good/bad

I just finished reading a post that Beth replied to because the person removed their sand. She thought that was a bad idea due to ammonia spike. I guess I will leave it alone and hope nothing goes wrong. I was getting ready to use the tank for a fowlr and decided to get one more fish before I...

So, I have had my sailfin for almost a week now. I can only get it to eat mysis. I have tried Formula one flakes super soft spirulina frozen marine algae veggie flakes freen marine algae sheets w/garlic I know they need a variety, what could I try next. This could get expensive. Any...

Thanks for both your answers. I guess I am not doing such a bad job after all.

I was just reading some problems that people have and they say 0 nitrates, 0 ammonia, etc. I really don't think mine has ever been 0, not much more, but never 0. If I should truly have 0, then I better step up my waterchanges.

Thanks everyone. I haven't really gotten it to eat yet but it has only been one day.

Of course, it is QT until it is safe to add to DT. Patience, patience!

spanko, thanks for all the info. I did get a case of nudi's a few weeks ago. Another lesson learned.

How long do corals need to be qt? Or is there another option? I only have a Dual Satellite 2x96 watt on my qt. As soon as I get my last fish for DT I am going to make it a tank for????? Haven't decided yet.

My tank had ich in the past (April)and I did hypo on the fish. I was curious if a hippo could get ich from adding a new fish (stress). Of course, I would use QT on the new, I learned my lesson on that.
