Over 6 weeks ago I received a hippo tang from an online retailer. Upon receipt of this tang it immediately developed ich, which I totally expected. I began hypo (which I've had incredible success with as noted in my prior posts); after 6 weeks of seeing no signs of infection I assumed the hippo...

I also posted this under "product reviews" but figured I would post this where it would likely get read more. This was my first time ordering fish online. I was torn between this company and Foster and Smith; however Foster and Smith didn't have the fish I wanted in stock so I went and...

Hi, I've been a long time lurker here but this is my first time posting. I was thinking of adding a butterfly to my Fish Only 75G aquarium and was thinking of the longfin Heniochus Black & White Butterflyfish. Does anyone have experience with this fish? Any compatibility issues that I might...
