any type of sand sifting gobie would do well. They are pretty active fish and do a really good job.

The great thing about the size of your tank is that if you keep it "fish only", you can put some really neat fish in there. And, like above, most of the neat fish are aggressive.

Two things. Generally the female is LARGER in size. Second, generally the male is more colorful. It is like any wildlife habitat. They have to strut their stuff for the women to look at them. The more I think about it, us men have to do that too. Why do you need this ladies????? Figure out...

I do the same as Misty. Yet, my lights are on timers. The actinics come on 45 minutes before daylight lamps and then turn off 45 minutes after daylight lamps at night. this works very well. My larger fish, tangs etc. start moving around when actinics are on, but my small fish (firefish...

A friend of mine in Hawaii has a 175 gallon tank in his house. He is always looking in the tidal pools in the rocks and nets some great fish. The only problem he has had (which most of them start eating later) is getting them to eat. He has caught some interesting shrimp, crabs, shellfish, etc.

Alot of people make the mistake of: When you do your water changes, DO NOT wash your filter pads or sponges in the tap water or in your sink. Some people even spray them out with a water hose. This will kill your good bacteria that you have spent so much time to collect. You MUST squeeze and...

the first spot was a couple of weeks ago and it was a very tiny pin size spot to the back side of his eye above his fin. Now, the red is around the base of his side fins and there are a couple of spots on his face. They are kinda splotchy. They do not look like tears in the skin. Thank you...

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has encountered a couple of red spots on the face and around the fins on a bicolor angel? My lfs is no help. And, yes the tank is 135 gal. with perfect water conditions and the fish has been in here for 8 months.

There are so-o many cool reef fish. It's hard to say. I have a red lip blenny "wildman". He is a joy to watch. The bicolor has similar traits. I like my flame hawk as well. He perches and swims down for his food. I enjoy watching my bicolor Angel swimming in and out of the live rock. All...

I used to have BIG cleaner shrimp and they did well until their demise. All the lfs have are small baby cleaner shrimp and my flame hawk ambushes them. It's amazing how hard it is to find big shrimp.

I was wondering if anyone has had good experiences with a cleaner wrasse? Mine finally died, I think from starvation. He was a real finicky eater. Water conditions perfect, very established tank. Anyone have any insight?
