All i have is the crab in there, should i be getting something else to help?

Ok so this tank is fairly new (about 3 weeks the fish have been in it) I tested PH, Nitrate, Nitrites, Ammonia and everything seems to be ok, but the live rock and the crab shell are turning coppery in color..as well as some of the rock at the bottom of the tank. Fish look ok (just have a...

Someone had posted up a few posts that damsels are mean, shouldnt be kept with other fish etc... What i have read, and found, is that to be the complete opposite. I have read that due to them being territorial, you really shouldnt have more then one. I bought a blue damsel to cycle my tank. The...

Looks like the fish are doing just fine this am !! The fishtank isnt right near the kids room, so i dont think it was the paint fumes! Thanks everyone for their help!! Judi

Do a LOT of research on the particular bird that you are going to get. Each subspecies is different and had different personalities. DONT buy from a petstore!!! Buy from a breeder...you will save money and you can see the environment that it spent its first weeks in. Many breeders will sell you...

Okay, Im trying to be nice here...However. I guess I am not understanding why you arent even reading the posts. If you ask a question, and truly are interested in a response, best to listen to what the seasoned pros have to say. I wouldnt recommend to anyone that doesnt know much about fish to...

Just another thought...I always check all my readings BEFORE I put something else in. And then check again in 24 hours to see how they are doing... Remember most sins can be fixed by water changes :)

Im new enough to salwater tanks, but from what I have read 1.023 is ideal...however, anything from 1.021 to 1.025 is fine. I have to add water once a week, and it is usually about 1.025-.026 when I do.

I have a 29 gallon tank. I changed about 5 gallons and tested for ammonia (which was at 0 when i tested this am) it was at 8!!! (Not good) I put the fresh water in there, and put in some ammonolock. Clown fish is a bit happier, and although still fairly low in the tank, he seems to be moving...

he had to have died some time this evening...so it might have been in there for a few hours? Should i do a water change? I dont have extra salt (I know not smart), so I cant change too much. HELP

Ive got a tank..all of the fish are swimming at the bottom. Lost my anenome, looks like I may lose them all..what could this be? What can I do to fix it?

About three weeks ago I got a coral banded shrimp to add to my tank. he was doing fine and lost a banded leg. I did some research and learned it would grow back. About a week later I noticed a black mark on the OPPOSITE side as the missing leg on the main trunk of his body. Looked like he was...

my mom had snails...who kept multiplying...she had to keep flushing them in the toilet because they took over the tank

At the time he was the only one in the tank besides fish :( The black seems to have spread and he isnt doing well at all. Hes sitting at the bottom all tangled up in his legs :( I dont think he will make it much longer.

I reread what you wrote...He didnt seem to be trying to dig into anything...he actually moved from where i put him, in the sand over next to and then on the live rock. Hope that helps more. Judi

I'll be honest, I have no idea what kind of anenome he is. She had him in a tank with crushed shell, and he was/ and is now doing fine. He is white, with lots of tentacles with small purple dots on the end of the tentacles. Coming out form the bottom looks like a stump or a mushroom stem. (I...

in re of pound per gallon...sounds excessive..I have 20 pounds in my 55 gallon tank and have had no problems cycling.

Live rock is beneficial in that it has micro-organisms and bacteria in it, which help to cycle your tank. While I have been told that it is beneficial, especially when starting a new tank, id think that you could have the same effect by throwing a damsel in a new tank and waiting a few weeks...

My coral banded shrimp lost one of his legs...which I was told is okay, because he will grow one back... On one of his sides he has a black mark..almost as if a child had taken a marker and drew a squiggly circle on him. He is eating fine, walking around fine..etc The black mark is on th...

Last week I bought an anenome and a clown fish to add to my tank. I put them both in my 10 gallon, as I do with all my new friends to be sure they are "safe" before I add them to my 29 gallon tank. The first day I got the anenome he was fine. The next morning I woke up and he was gray and...
