    Mandaran advise

    yeah, that's what i hope doesn't happen. i'm glad thought he eats frozen brine and mysis. every so often we buy tigger pods and put them in the tank. he is growing well also. fingers crossed

    Mandaran advise

    i've had my mandarin for about a year. he is super active and eats frozen brine and mysis. i have him in my 29 gallon biocube. i've heard that they can do well for months then bite the dust. hopefully that doesn't happen though. they are a beautiful fish. good luck!

    We use tap, but just recently tried distilled. The corals were all the "easy" stuff... yellow polyps, green star, zoos, shrooms, etc. Waving hands did okay. I think we need to do ro/di water.

    Question...

    I wouldn't say were new to saltwater tanks, but more or less we suck. We have no problems with keeping fish, but coral is another story. We currently have a 29 g biocube that we want to turn into a reef tank. It has a protein skimmer attached as well. we have a fire shrimp, small flame hawk...

    Klein Butterfly acting stressed

    when we got our kleins my fox face and scopas harassed him constantly the first day (fox face mostly). the next day they were all fine. i think they just just acted this way to show dominace.

    Just picked up a Blue Spot Jawfish :)..Question about jumping

    they are awsome fish. we had one and at first he found himself a spot for a few weeks then all of a sudden moved to several new spots then croaked. he ate great at first too. i think one of our shrimp gobies scared him from his first home. hope yours works out cause they are awsome!

    getting fish out?

    can they fit into the opening of a 2 liter bottle? I tried that to catch a green wolf eel by putting food in it and actually caught him!

    Red Slime removal

    I was told that Maracyn by Mardel will treat red slime. I know they both have the same active ingredient (erythromycin) but will this work??? I have some but the package clearly states it's for disease on fish. Should I use it??

    Looking for ideas...

    We've thought about a flame, but we're interested in a larger angle if one would work. Maybe a smaller trigger (niger or humu humu) or a type of puffer. As far as clowns, we're going to put a pair in our biocube 29g we set back up.

    White-spotted Hermit Crab (Dardanus megistos)

    we have one too and he's crazy. all we have with him now is a yellow and blue hippo tang in a 90g, but will eventually be getting more fish.

    Looking for ideas...

    We recently have turned our 90g into a FOWLR tank. The only fish we have in there now are a Yellow Tang and Blue Hipo Tang (we've had them for about 1 year) and a large hermit crab about 2 inches in size. We left about 60 to 75 lbs live rock. We want to add some new fish but are unsure of...
