[hr] two of my fire shrimp have black spots on them which i think is Taura virus. i read about how only shrimp can get it i have to other blood shrimp in the tank that do not have the black spots. i do not have a QT tank setup. what should i do can i save the other shrimp or are they all lost.

ya i have read that they do that. i just cant feed snails because i put the food into my Refugium and they will get out because i do not have a cover. i can put hermits and crabs in the ref tho. i found a good place to buy rubble rock they have it cheap. its just dry tho but it should work fine...

I am starting a 55 gallon Peacock Mantis shrimp tank. i know that the mantis shrimp can punch through glass so i wanted to put a layer of acrylic onto the bottom of my aquarium to make sure it does not punch through while digging in the sand because that is the most common way a peacock would...

thanks for the help. i am mainly just worried about my bioload but i think it will be ok if i only keep 2 lions and a kleins in there. i just have to do a lot of water changes.

i have read that keeping Dwarf fuzzies together they can get agressive with eachother but i wanted to do a tank with just lionfish and the M-F-F Trio sounds really cool. can you give me some more info on ways to keep them together?

thanks for the suggestions would it be better to buy a small or big fuzzy lionfish. and i was wondering if i could keep it with a kleins butterfly? i have a small in tank refugium that i can put it in when i first get it if that helps in a small space to get it starting eating. and i know that...

ya i will not do the eel because i agree on it getting to big. have you kept a fuzzy dwarf?

ya i was thinking about starting a fowlr 55 gallon. i have read reports that lionfish and an eel can work together. however do you think a 55 is enough room for a eel and a dwark lion together?

Could i keep a fuzzy dwarf lionfish and so kind of eel like a snowflake in a 55 gallon tank?

if i wanted a tree sponge why are they hard to keep? i also have seen a blue sponge at my local LFS. i thought that was cool i do not have a very high power light its a marineland LED not reef compadable. i have also read that some sponges like moderate light? is that true. and what are some...

I was thinking about getting a sea sponge for my tank. how hard are they to care of. my water quality is good 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 5 ppms nitrate, ph 8.2, calcium 380, kh good as well.

i got the blacklip to help get rid of my Aiptasia but he hasnt touched one. he could be eating the ones invisable to my eye. however i was wondering if there was anyway i could get him to eat them. or if it is just his personality and he will not touch them.

the garlic worked the best and now he is eating mysis and formula 1. thanks for that suggestion.

thanks for all the help.

i was going to go to the fishstore today because my butterfly has been eating an algae bassed food but i can seem to find a meaty food for it. it ate mysis at first but now it will not touch it. what would be another good meaty food for a blacklip?
