LFS said internal parasites. Up until yesterday eating well but losing weight. Water is good 0 nitrates, 0 phosphates, 0 am. kh 160, ca 380. No treatments, fish is lying back corner behind rock, hard to even see.

Very sick blue tang. Lying on side for a day now breathing but obviously dying. Is there a humane way to help her from suffering?

My blue tang is about 3 inches long and has done great for over a year. Eats like crazy, but I looked closely and can see rib bones. LPS said possibly internal parasite? They recommended garlic? Help

I started a 10 gal. FOWLR setup at work. Any sugestions on stocking. I know very limited but thats fine.

My green mantis appears sick?? Water conditions are all in range. Nothing has changed, last night I saw him on his back. I nudged him and he swam off. This morning, on his back kind of curled up legs moving. Nudged again and he tried to swim but upside down then swam straight up the tank...

I set up a 20 gallon high species tank. I wanted a peacock mantis, have been waiting for a long time for one. LFS just received a lime or green mantis. He is very cool, curious about size. He is only 2-3 inches now. Does he compare to the peacock ?? Same only a different color ?? TIA

The water test was before the fish, and then today after the second death still 0's.

I have had that tank for so long. Are you maybe thinking of copper ? I honestly dont know. No sighns of sickness, RO no tap, I believe they were collected. The first one that died was being consumed by some hermit crabs, but it's tail looked like the other one may have chased it. But the...

I recently set up a 20 gal. species tank to house a mantis shrimp, still waiting for the shrimp. Tank has been running for three weeks, DSB seeded from my 55 setup. I put some cured base rock in also. ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 5, salinity 1.023. One week ago I added two damsels, they were...

Has anyone ever setup a eclipse 6. Is there any way to upgrade the lighting. I already have the tank,heater all that goes with it. Thought it might be fun to put some live sand and some uncured LR and see what happens. Thanks for any suggestions.
