add any fish into your tank but definitely NO damsels, period. They are mean little buggers only create problems.

I would release the poor little bugger back to the ocean if it still survive the ordeal.

Yeah clown will be clown I can figure that. But this chromis really make me go nuts. I understand the behaviour or clown, they do strange things all the time. But this chromis is acting very strange, letting the clown touching, rubbing its belly. It is a weird chromis I suppose.

I added 10 chromis in one shot 3 months back. I since return 5 of them to the LFS. No problem among all 10 of them since day 1. No I have got NO MORE clown in the tank except this one. The other passed away 7 months ago. It has been alone until 3 months ago I added these chromis.

Lol thanks for sharing your personal experience austindsad. No the dead mate was actually the smaller one which normally got chased around by this current one. Whenever the small clown came out during feeding time my current clown would chase it back to hiding and would really bite the smaller...

Ok get ready for this. I have an o.clown he has been alone for at least 6 or 7 months since his mate died. Two weeks ago I am seeing 1 of 5 of my chromis keep swimming with him together while the other 4 still keep a distance from my clown. This morning I woke up look at the tank the chromis...

Thanks for that Mel. I will definitely try that and see how it goes.

Yeah lando and mel I previously did feeding every other day. But when I told one of my LFS they said I am too cruel, they also said they need to be fed everyday in order to stay healthy to fend of any disease. I am so confused here don't know who is saying the right thing. I currently do...

Sorry I didn't mention in details. Ok here it goes: I feed all my fish everyday. Frozen food, flakes and pellets. My yellow tang loves them all and gobble everything down during each feeding. Other than those foods I also left him a 3"x3" sheet to chew every 3 times a week. But I have got...

I know they will need a lot of these but how often do I feed them in one week? Currently I am like... feeding 1 sheet 3 days a week. Is that enough for him?

I was told that only 1 out of 10 powder blue will survive in captivity. Not to sound discouraging but that's true. And even you get it to survive in the tank they are very prone to sickness. That's what I have heard from the experienced guys but not sure if they are true.

Thanks Lando. Yes I have been turning off the powerhead and all filters while I feed. It does sound logic that food might go straight into the filter without being consumed that's what I did from the very first time. But when you say rince the media how exactly do you do that? Do I use a...

My FOWLR tank has been set up for almost 3 months now. It is a 132g currently have 17 fishes in it. Until today I have cleaned both 2 of my canister filters only ONCE. That was after my tank finish cycled after 1.5 week. Another 10.5 weeks old now is it time to clean them again? I have...

100% agree to what mel has said.

I used to feed every other day when I had my 20g nano (only one o.clown, shrimps and few softies. But I am now doing feeding everyday to my 132g (16 fishes in there) because I want to keep my fishes healthy. I thought they will get sick easily if not fed enough foods. Along with that I do 10%...
