Most of the damsels make me too nervous. I don't think they are staying. I just do not want that sort of agression in my tank.

Well I substituted someone else's judgment for my own. Buying 5 fish the other night really was a matter of me wanting something to be what it wasn't despite deep down knowing. They told me what I wanted to hear. Magical thinking on my part! I think I will go back to these guys )LFS) as...

I have another post with a larger version of my story so here is the abridged version. Took advice of LFS and now I have a ton of fish in a really new tank. They sold me 16 damsels and I now have 10 (4 blue, 4 B&W and 2 blue/yellowtail). Then they sold me 5 fish on Saturday night (2...

I just checked again and my Ammonia is still 0 and Nitrites are still 0.

The male clown is eating. The female clown is spitting. My tang looks like she wants to eat but the other fish are getting it all. The henioches has not eaten.

I saw one of my clowns turn on one of my blue damsels this morning in a 'you better not' kinda motion which made the blue damsel move the other direction.

Yeah I was wondering about having too many damsels. I have 4 blues, 4 B&W Stripes and 2 blue with yellow tails. How many would you guys bring back? Some of my blues seem a bit agressive.

I'm so glad I found this forum! I realize now I do not know enough. Funny thing is I was super nervous buying my fish the other day because some part of me knew it then. When I was young I had a freshwater fishtank for years. One of my favorite things was getting my dad to bring me to the...

I have 10 damsels. Should I have more nitrates?

I ran to the store and got a testing kit. 0 Nitrates 0 Nitrites 0 Ammonia 8.4 PH Is it odd for a fish store test to say 7.8 and then a home test to say 8.4? When should I see an ammonia spike?

I did it the way I did on the advice of the local fish store. Then when my henioches started acting this way I found this site. Now I am totally worried because I realize I have done things incorrectly. I am especially worried that adding these 5 fish will ultimately kill everyone!

I hope I am posting in the correct place! I also wish I had found this forum before today. I feel like I did everything wrong. I have a very new FO 90 gallon System 2 tank with a 50/50 bulb. I received it as a special gift in March. We had ppl from the fish store come and set it up. Then...
