I too have an aggressive PRL. Any bottom dwelling fish don't last in my tank. He has eaten 2 firefly gobies and a lawnmower blenny this year. I never find any remains of the fish either, so I'm certain it is the lobster! My clowns have been safe, but they sleep high up in the tank. I don't...

My husband is making a sump for our tank and cant find a plastic hose clamp, so he got a stainless steel one. He said this is ok, and i really don't know one way or another. I know that many metals are a no no, and i'd really like some advice on this before it is intergrated to our tank. Is...

can no one even comment on this topic? I did try to get some pictures, however the babies are soooooo small, and my photography skills leave much to be desired, so they didn't turn out so well. I'v noticed a few fry dead in the tank. They were fully formed, and about the size of the live fry...

I have a 20g tank with two female and one male calvus. two have paired up several times before, and they used to be in a larger tank with many other calvus. Today i noticed that there were some fry swimming around in the tank, and i totally missed the spawn, and the hatching in the shell. The...

I have 5 julidochromis, and i'v been reading up about sexing, and venting them. I'v also read that the female is usually the larger one. The largest juli in my tank is about 4.5 inches, and has a verry obvious "thing" next to it's anus. The problem is that all my julies seem to have a "thing"...

I was so sad today to move a shell, and discover not one, but two dead caovus in there. I noticed that i hadn't seen my beautiful male in awhile, so i was moving the shell around trying to swoosh some water in there, and that was when i found the terrible sight. I thought he and another fish...

i'v never had any live plants in my fish tanks, but i'm interested it giving it a try. Is there a particular type of lighting that i will need? Anything I should add to the water to help the plants grow? Any infromation would be great. It is a 25g tank with some neons, a barb, and a loach...

i keep posting everything in doubles....sorry......

this guy is a barb, but i'm not sure what kind. He lives in a 25g tank in my daughters playroom, and is really pretty and quite active.
