    FAQ, Member status?

    I'm sure this question has been asked before but I just wondered what the fish under our name means. I looked in the FAQ and didn't find the answer. Just curious. I am a damsel, is that because I've only had a few posts. What do I become next, how many levels are there and what is the top fish...

    cycling question

    I recently cycled my tank with the shrimp method. What surprized me was that although the shrimp looked like it was still intact, it deflated like an overcooked turkey when I touched it. Those bacteria made short work of it. You might find this to be the case also. Either way I think the general...

    Hey Tom, I also meant to ask how you like the zebra eel. I've been thinking about one myself.

    New Tank?

    Hey Tom, I work in Davis - just thought I'd say hi :) I never drink the water in Davis, so when I lived there it didn't go in my tank either! Keep us posted on your new tank. Julie

    Domino Damsel

    My LFS has a large Domino, he's about 3.5 inches, gray in color and very ugly. The small ones are definitely cute but they don't stay like that for long. This Domino also had to be in a tank on his own 'cos he was such an PITA.

    depressed puffer

    I'm sure your puffer is fine. Mine buzzes around the tank when I'm around but if I'm gone for a while I'll catch him just hanging out. A couple of times he had me worried too, just the other day I thought he was dead but sure enough as soon as he saw me he came swimming over. Phew! Still...best...

    JOBS!!!

    I'm working on my PhD - almost there, can't wait to finish and get a "real job"! Although saying that I'll probably stay with academics, do a post-doc - be a real geek! My research is on stallion sperm, trying to prolong the life and improve the quality of sperm following cryopreservation. I get...

    Grass Shrimp Story

    I'm rather amuzed, so I thought I'd share. The other week when I was having problems getting my puffer to eat (he's doing great now by the way) I thought I'd tempt him with some live food. The brine shrimp were too small and I'd read about ghost shrimp. I couldn't find any but the local bait...

    Tatoos/Piercings

    I have a tatoo on my right shoulder and have never regretted it. It is a celtic symbol in the shape of a butterfly. Rather than the regular all black celtic symbols mine incorporates colors. I've had it 6 years and it was recommended that I have it recolored after 5 years. Would you folks agree...

    not hungry?

    Good News! Last night my puffer ate some frozen shrimp. He totally went to town with it and acted like there was never a problem - unbelievable, he had me stressed out for a while there. He's doing great and so adorable. I will transfer him to my main tank this weekend, I think he's on the right...

    not hungry?

    Sorry should have mentioned about the QT tank. It is not a cycled tank, I was not expecting this arrival. However I have been doing daily water changes (25-40%). Ammonia is usually 0.25ppm before change and undetectable after. Nitrites and nitrates zero.

    not hungry?

    Hello All, I've had my porcupine puffer in quarantine for 2 weeks now and he's eaten hardly anything. After searching the board I found lots of people who said their fish didn't eat for a week so I didn't stress at first but now I'm really concerned. I've offered him frozen krill, shrimp and...
