Don't know much about saltwater but that looks like a sea cucumber to me! I just googled "aquarium sea cucumber" and a very similar pic came up. Hope this helps!

Yes she is but the blue crayfish I have eats what she throws around. I usually throw in a couple flakes, wait til she eats them all then toss in some more. I am going to try to ween her off the flakes but she likes them more than pellets.

Also it sounds like I feed her a lot but she eats everything off the surface til it's gone. Probably only takes a minute if not less. She is also about 5" long.

Thank you!! His/her bright coloration is one of the reasons I thought it was a male. That and I read males have the red on the top ofthe dorsal fin and that the dorsal fins are pointer on a male. As she grows her fins are getting more pointed. Also the black mark on her side I read was a male...

And what do you think? Male or female?

He is doing fine. He likes to tuck and hide in his cave but that I am pretty sure is normal jd behavior. He knows when it's feeding time and does his feed me dance as soon as I open the drawer. How much should I be feeding him? He looks healthy and seems to be in good spirits.

Is this signs of a paracite or could it be from over feeding?

Poo has been looking normal for a while until today. This is what I just found in tank.

Water params are all good. That was the first thing I checked yesterday and I just did a pwc 2 days ago. I have seen no loss in appetite at all. I have some cichlid flakes which he likes best and some floating cichlid pellets. He eats the flakes right out of our fingers!

Should I treat water anyway cause of white stringy poo? I am still concerned cause of that and he has been in that cave for a few hours now and he is usually an adventurer as he only shares a 55 gal with a pleco and a blue crayfish.

Ok I was thinking that. As far as a paracite goes

Hi! I haven't posted in a while since I have gotten my jack Dempsey. We have had him/her for a few months now. I have not noticed this behavior before but today I noticed it was shaking it's head and body while in the cave. He was not doing anything ( which concerned me initially) so I went up...

You guys are awesome! So many ideas... My fiancé asked our friend who originally named Walter and she said Wanda outta nowhere! So I think we are going with Wanda for now. Thanks you all a million! Really appreciate all of the suggestions!!!

Haha still no name for her yet.... We like Wanda tho

Lol I like skinner. But I don't really want a simpsons theme tank. You know? What are some other female...bullies/bosses? Most of our fish names come from either shows or movies.
