    Anthias (Wreck Fish) Fighting!

    I bought three Anthias (or Wreck Fish as they are commonly known as over here), two of them are doing what looks like kissing aggressively? I wonder if they are fighting cos I know they have hooks in their mouths? Are they vying for dominance?

    Mean Angel Bullies

    I have three gorgeous fully grown Angel fish in my 40 Gallon FW. Unfortunately, two of them have paired up and regulary spawn.. which means they are bullying the other Angel so much he rarely ventures out from behind his slate even for food. Would introducing a couple of new Angels sort the...

    What to feed my Boxing Shrimp?

    No problem at all. I thought there would probs be a difference with the common names! Thanks for advice, like I said.. they're alive and shedding so they can't be going hungry! I just like to see things eating!

    What to feed my Boxing Shrimp?

    Perhaps its a common name which isn't used in America..... I'm certainly not confused between a crab and a shrimp though! I think it is a scavenger.. but seeing as I currently only have two common clowns, I worry if it can possibly be getting enough? I have attached a photo...

    What to feed my Boxing Shrimp?

    I have a pair of these little scamps but am unsure as to what to feed them? I know that they are not starving as they keep shedding their exoskeleton but whatever I feed them goes uneaten... just tried cockles and they just played with them! Any ideas?

    20 HIGH

    That tank is simply stunning. Its so modern and cool! I think you guys over in America have a much better selection of contemporary looking tanks - but I'm going to look out for something similar. I'd love to recreate something l ike that! :P *by the way - how big is the tank?* If i were to...

    Air Bubble strip

    I have a long bubble strip in my FO. It does look pretty with my blue moonlight but regardless of how far down in the sandbed u put it - it always manages to find its way up pretty soon! Also my Boxer Shrimps tend to try and eat the bubbles which I'm sure isn't too healthy! :P

    Skimmer question

    Just a quick question.. I turn my skimmer off every night because it is so noisey, does that effect it in any way?

    Setting up a sump?

    I have a small tank (around 10 litres?) which I want to do something with! I was thinking about setting up a sump for my 50 gallon FO tank. However, its one area of the hobby I really don't know much about. I would like to set it up as more filtration? Perhaps some bioballs and that sort of...

    not sure

    I have a FOWLR, a FO and a FW. I don't really think you spend much more time looking after two or three than you do one. But I do tend to go in phases where I'll spend more time and money on one and less attention on the others. I guess over time they all get attention, but thats just the way i am!

    Funny little white critters...

    That sounds like what I have too. Cindy, when I cleaned my filter, it was blocked with all these little creatures, I think a lot of them had died as the water was disgusting.. but like you said, there were certainly a lot still alive in there! :twisted:

    Funny little white critters...

    Thanks Cindy, most of them have been sucked up through the filter now.. theres only a few left! Thanks everybody!

    Funny little white critters...

    These things are tiny.. you really wouldn't notice if there was only two! The sand in my tank is not live sand and I don't keep corals... the only thing it can be is the sponge!

    Funny little white critters...

    Phew! Im glad they're not harmful! Most have been sucked up by my Fluval.. as it was rather blocked up with them when I cleaned it last. However I don't have any live rock. Its simply a fish only tank.. how would they have got in? The tank has been set up for a good 6 months...?
