Today I just noticed my yellow watchman goby has turned white. Any Ideas why? It's eating perfectly fine and acting normal such as perching while my pistol shrimp digs. I've researched a bit and have come across 2 answers as to why it's pale. 1. Stress. 2. she's female. any inputs on this?

I remember months ago someone told me that a goby and shrimp will only pair if they're the same size. Well, here's my Year old shrimp paired with my new month old goby haha so yeaah that information was wrong

I just noticed it yesterday morning. Its weird though. There's this black rubber that's on the inside of the tank that outlines the sides of the tank and now some of that rubber has pushed itself in between the corner where two glasses meet. Is there anything I can do? Or is my tank doomed? I...

To save time: All levels are zero. He went missing for 2-3 days Yesterday he flicked his tail and swam frantically only to fall Bacon down and land on his side or back and would lay stiff. Afterwards, he had his claw on his other claw, before I knew it, he was swimming somewhere else and the...

Later on in a few months I would like to have some coral but in the mean time, my white goby sifts through sand all day leaving it floating in the water making it settle on the rocks. His home rock is COVERED in sand hahah so question, will a powerhead solve this? By solve I mean prevent the...

I have a Bicolored dwarf angelfish. It's picky when it comes to eating so its rarely eats and its more focused on swimming through some tight cave rather than eating. Here's the emergency. I turned the lights off. and an hour passed by. I heard something that sounded like a drop of water so i...

As some of you know from my latest thread, I got a royal gramma and a pistol shrimp on thursday. Acclimated them both correctly. Then i let them loose in the tank. The shrimp swam to the rock my goby hasn't occupied yet. And the gramma made a home in the hollow rock. The goby would open his...

Yesterday i got paid so i decided to treat myself with a new fish:] i ended up getting a pistol shrimp and a small royal gramma. The gramma has made itself a home in a hollow rock with holes, but now every time he comes out of the rock, he gets harassed by my goby. I think my goby has...

I've asked this question before, but I have a little to add on:] I want to get a t5 for my 37 gal bowfront. Now, I want to get a t5 with 2 bulbs. Would that be enough to keep soft corals? Zooanthids?

Hello:] I have a saltwater tank but lookin to get into planted freshwater. But I'm having a hard time with choosing what to get. I can either go to petco and pick up a 20gal with all the stuffs such as filter, heater, hood and all that jive. Or I can go this Guy I found on Craigslist. He only...

Today i went to my lfs to check out their fish for a new tankmate. One of the dudes who works there started making conversation and i explained to him i wanted to get a t5 so i could get some coral. He said t5s are good but expensive. As an alternative, he told me that i could instead get a lamp...

I have a 37 gal with 2 juvenile clowns and a white goby. I know I can probably fit one last fish...but I was wondering, would I be able to fit 2 green chromis? I know I'm pushing it but that's why I'm asking:]

I've wanted to get some coral and reef in my 37 gallon tank so i started looking into buying a lamp because my current lighting isn't any good at all for coral and reef. I looked on craigslist and found a guy who is selling a t5 nova extreme for $50, should i buy it?

At first my white goby would only sort of pick on my small clown, but right now i just saw him sorta pick on the bigger clown. The goby sorta nips them. no damage but why is the goby doing this?

Haha i posted this first question but it went unanswered so I will try my luck again. I have 2 juvenile clownfish, the smaller would twitch for the bigger clown. But now, I've caught the bigger clownfish on 2 occasions twitching for the smaller clown. Why is that? They swim together and sleep...

hahah uhhhhhhhh my smaller clown would twitch for my bigger clown....but now it still twitches for the bigger clown, but the bigger clown sometimes twitches for the smaller clown. It rarely happens but i've caught it in the act

why do i have them?Yes, my tank is cycled, (although i noticed i never had a diatom bloom during the cycle....but then again my lights aren't so good). The diatoms and algae started the day i left the blinds open, could they have been growing since that day? and how can i get rid of them? i read...

My 2 clown fish used to swim through the little caves i made using the LR but since yesterday when i added 7 blue legged hermit crabs, the clownfish stopped swimming through the rocks (the hermits climbed them to clean). And now all my clownfish do is just swim above the rocks or swim up to the...

I have 2 ocellaris clownfish, one is bigger than the other. They were both males and in the beginning, when the bigger clownfish would bump the smaller clownfish, he'd fight back and looked agitated but he's given that up and just goes sideways and twitches. That means he's letting the bigger...

How often should i feed? Ihave 2 juvenile clownfish only. still once a day?

There are no more traces of ammonia or nitrite, i tested 3 times to be sure haha Yesterday i headed down to my lfs to get a cleanup crew and in a way, after yesterday's trip I found that i can trust my lfs more. I wanted to buy some hermit crabs and my lfs was honest and said they were low on...

After 17 days, could it be possible that my cycle is almost done??? Water Parameters:] Ammonia- <0.25 Nitrite-<0.25 (seems to be that way. was higher, now its dark blue, light blue is zero:]) Nitrate- went to 0 from 20:] pH- 7.8 Salinity- 1.020 Also, i've been reading that it is recommended...

So, did i do the smart thing? haha Today my Math class was canceled so i headed home with my girflriend when it hit me, i still needed to get a hydrometer and some more sea salt for my tank for when the cycle finishes and i do the big PWC. (i have to wait to go to my lfs cause its a good half...

My tank is coming along nicely:] I do have a question though. So my ammonia is falling:] My Nitrite is steadily rising but my nitrate has shot up to 20. Is that bad?

So, I think i'm on the hump of my cycle?:multi: Ammonia was really high...but now it's dropping:] and nitrite is still slowly rising:] but....ph did drop. its at 7.4 now...i think that may be bad? I think i posted the pictures right:] The picture that is extremely cloudy was taken 5min after i...
