Looking to move some of my fish around into a new tank. Do these fish eat a feather duster because my thin line hermit destroyed 1. A six line wrasse, coral banded shrimp, emerald crab Sally Lightfoot crab. Thank you for your response.

i think i may stop trying to have a dsb for denitration purpose and get my diamond goby again, however its been year since i had one and i put a long spine urchin in there when i started the dsb, now the urchin has drop several spines over the year, i see them in the sand bed I'm sure the...

Thanks for the reply. If i choose to get rid of the active sandbed, i would get a sand sifter goby. If there was sulphur hydrate in the bad would the goby release to much if it at a time? Or would it be better to remove the fish and just remove the whole bed. I would clean it multiple...

I have had my dsb running for a year now. No gas pockets coming up, no worm trails etc. When i started the dsb i started using seachems prime for a wAter conditioner and have had 100+ ppm nitrates ever scince. Nothing disturbs the bed except my nassari snails. Is it possible for me to just...

i have been told by some not to put a diamond watchman in my tank due to the dsb i am trying to be a main source of filtration. i was told that the gobie eats the fauna in the sand while its siffting. hench killing all the little bugs in the bed that makes a dsb work as a filtraion source...

my question is, anybody know what may of happened to my lunare wrasse's tail. it use to be yellow but for the last couple of months it hasnt been. its not damaged just not yellow anymore as seen as in this pic any ideas? mine is clear/ cloudy clear.

what would you put in for a cuc ( i know there gonna get eatn ) that will last some time for a bare bottom agressive tank. i have hermits and some nass snails in there that i pulled from the tank befor i took out the sand. but i think i will need some more. now that the nass snails cant bury...

hey guys, just looking for a opinion. my 75 started leaking so i pulled out the fish and have resealed it, waiting for the cure time now. when i go to set it up again should i go BB or do a DSB. i had 4" of sand in there which is now in the sump/smaller 55 tank where i keep my smaller fish...

my hob filter whisper 30-60 has started making a noise and befor i try a new impeller i thought id ask if anyone else has heard this noise. its a errrr noise close to a rattle sound. it has somthing to do with the way the intake tube sits over the impeller because when you pick up on the...

just got my vol lion yesterday from here and he is in with some aggressive tank mates. niger trigger, porc puffer and a half blind lunar wrasse. trigger has nipped one last night at the fin but i think the lion will be ok, he got peed off big time and bit back. the trigger now goes way...

1. hi all, couple of questions for you. first is about my marble star i dont know if its spliting or dying but it dont look good. about 2 months ago i noticed a slit starting from the outside of the body going in towards the center. the star seems to be trying to pull its self aprt at this...

a little long, but heres the story: i got a niger rigger and a clown tang and added them to my tank that housed a lunar wrasse, foxface, matte filefish, marble star, and crabs/snails. of course the tang got ich and then it showed up on the foxface. i started using Kent RXP at half dose...

just got done treating my tank with Kent Rxp and then a treatment of melafix. while i was treating i noticed my foxface would jerk/twich his head to the right or left. i did a 25% water change but he is still doing it 2 days later. is this twiching motion caused by the meds or just somthing...

im sure i could but i dont have a place to QT. what would you suggest if i could

heres a update, i noticed last night that he has started moving more but stil not swimming, then i noticed that when he does move its as if he was scared, cause he satys right on the sandbed and moves quick. but he his running into the rocks and bumping his way around. then i noticed that...

WHAT SHOULD I DO TO DT? my lunar wrasse has not been eatting for 3 days now and has been per say hiding in his spots, no swimming around. he comes out maybe sometimes only half of him, 1 time a hr and goes back in and hides or goes to another hiding spot and hides.. water levers are perfect...

thanks for the info, i wish i could get a bigger QT now, but like i said cant untill we move. (years from now). when i do i will ll use my current 75 for a sump, buy a 200 (fish will need from growing) and use my current 30 sump as a QT so i can get a 3-4inch fish without stresing them to...

totaly understand what your saying beth, i would QT if i had a big enough tank to do it. i tried using a 10g for a qt and every thing i ever put in it died, (6 attempts) i have to assume the 3" fish were to streesed due to the size of the tank. so i stoped using a Qt so of courseits in the...

hi all, got a clown tang and of course he got ich from being stressed due to a new tank and his lunar wrasse tank mate. glad to say after a day of seeing who was going to be the more dominate fish there all done fighting. but still he has ich! would like your advice on 3 different meds i am...
