I had two guppies and a diamond tetra in tank for 1 week. today i found 1 dead guppy (the male) and it looks like something has eaten off his tail and had a few bites elsewhere. is there likely to be aggresion between these fish.

my blue tang has white spot again, had it in november and treated with cupramine in a QT for more than 12 weeks. my tank was empty and i did everything right, so why has it come back. my other fish look ok but i guess its just a matter of time. Could the whitespot have come back, or hitchhiked...

my sponge is wasting away underneath its colonial anemone which still looks ok and continues to flower occasionally (it only ever flowers occasionally) but i dont know why the sponge seems to be going brown and droopy at the tips. ive tried moving it and increasing currents to no avail. any...

my blue linkia starfish keeps wrapping himself around my soft corals, i cant really see any damage , is he eating them or just cleaning them or something. My BF is convinced hes eating them and wants to get rid of him but i like him very much, I thought he was an algae eater, does anyone know if...

my tank is empty for 6 weeks due to white spot, so i thought it might also be a good time to try and control this cyanos(at least thats what i think it is) its green and mostly on the back of my tank ever since i got corals and started using reef supplements. I increased the flow, water quality...

my dwarf lionfish has developed a hole in his tail and it looks to be getting worse. Tank conditions are good only nitrates a bit high at 15, i just added nitrate sponge to help with this.

Can i use a QT tank without cycling it properly. I thought i could maybe get away with using ammonia, nitrite nitrate reducers and a seeded sponge and watch closely, what do you think of this idea

does a cleaner wrasse help control whitespot and will this cause him to catch it too?

i have read that it is most nutritious to feed a lionfish live marine fish, then i read elsewhere i am better off feeding him mollies, guppies or goldfish as they are less likely to introduce parasites to the tank. Are both of these statements correct, what shall i feed him( to supplement frozen...

i regularly clean the sides and front of my tank , but have just let the algae grow on the back, i thought this was beneficial, but now its getting red spots and looking ugly. Shall i leave it there or wipe it off. (P.S. I only have one herbivorous fish, a baby blue tang 1 inch long.)

my clarkii clown seems to be turning black. It started as a little patch, now he is almost all black (except his stripes) and his fins and tail have black spots. The dominant clown is not affected, only this one which is the weaker of the pair, is this normal.

I used iodine and a reef supplement, to treat the tank. Is there any thing else...

Has anybody had any luck breeding seahorses. I have a pair (southern Knights, I think) that bred in the shop before i got them. Any breeding advice would be appreciated.

i have 1 chromy in my tank whose scales are flaking off. My supplier reccommends treating the display tank with vertaid as it wont harm my invertabrates or anything in the tank. Is this ok to use as i want to acquire corals soon, or shall i treat him seperatwe in quarantine tank.
