We visited this new locally owned LFS that has been around for about a month. They had a large selection and the girl working the fish dept seemed like she had potential in knowing things, since I saw her yappin' away to customers when we walked in. There were a few things I liked and she didn't...

So we spent this last weekend away from home. We separated the aggressive ones in the main tank with dividers & left the nanos in their normal state. Fish didn't eat for about 3 days. We came home to find our flame angel dead in the nano, which the PH rose to 8.8 while away. All the other...

We're about to run low on the test kit we currently have, it just refers itself as "Saltwater Master Test Kit" (came with the used aquarium we have) and it has that little doctor fish image on it.. What brands does everyone recommend? Would like to try something different and possibly a kit that...

We bought 25lbs of live rock from a dude, that said he never seen any hitchhikers in the year he's owned them. When we got home, there 3 slugs (?) and a emerald crab in the bottom of the bucket. I've been wanting an emerald, so that was a nice surprise. :) The 3 slimey things looked like messy...

We're buying 25lbs of live rock from a guy about an hour away from here. They're in an established tank right now with 2 fish (we're buying those too). Does rock need to be acclimated like fish do? Also, we're thinking about bringing a rubbermaid container to put them in, so we could put some...

Well, I was certainly surprised to turn around and see a perfect ball of a puffer in the middle of the aquarium...he deflated a little while my camera was booting up.

I am wanting to surprise my hubby after we set up our nano tank, I am thinking about getting him a cowfish. Our tank is only about 10g & I was going to buy this 1" cowfish that's been at the LFS for a while. The hubby's loves the little cutie. From what I read, cowfish are passive & can wipe out...

We currently have a 10g glass aquarium that's brackish right now. We plan on trying to turn it into a saltwater set up, whenever we decide to kill the remaining ghost shrimp. The LFS told us we could keep using the filter system we had, but I want to be sure of this! The aquarium has an...

Here's a picture...he only started looking like this today. They were more dark/bumpy looking before meal time. They went down a bit. He's acting normal and eating his food. All water levels were okay, except for nitrates. We did a 20% water change and will check the levels again later.

We've had our fuzzy for about a month now, I've fed him a ghost shrimp and starved him for about 5-7 days...he didn't fall for the krill. So we bought some more shrimp, released them from the net for about a week. He knows they're coming from the net & they don't really move when he goes for...

The In-Laws are flying in and we're taking a car trip out of state for a week. I'm all fine with it, except when it comes to the fish! My hubby's co-worker has agreed to feed them every other day, when I usually feed them everyday. We have a porky (yes, yes, I know they're bad with other fish) &...

From far away, I was like wow, cute puffers! Then, I got closer and they were shaped weird. Do some puffers go through an awkward stage while growing, such as being in bent shapes or do they keep the same shape throughout growing? The porcupine look like someone took it by hand & bent its rear...

So I am usually the one who feeds the fish, I always feed them separately as a safety precaution for their own good. I wish my hubby would think the same...he thinks it's awesome that the fish fight for the food, until our dogface got bit when our porcupine went and took the food out of his...

Hello! I'm very new here, didn't know where this topic would go, so sorry if it's in the wrong place! I was just now feeding our fish their usual meal, when our V. lionfish accidentally dropped his silverside meal, so our dog faced puffer went to snatch it up. They didn't fight, but our puffer...
