OK, so I broke a floating thermometer in my tank, the exterior glass broke but not the inside with the mercury? Although the little balls that are in there...some of them fell out. Does anyone know what they are or if they are dangerous to the fish? I fished out the broken glass but I can't find...

Thank you, I win the bet!:D

So what u guys are saying is that it is physically impossible for this to happen or just unlikely? Or do you mean that if it did the offspring would be sterile?:confused:

Is it possible for a mollie to breed with a swordtail or a platy? Just asking because one of my friends refuses to mix them because he thinks they can breed together. :silly:

I have a couple of green tigers too, they look very different than the platinums.

I just got 3 of these beautiful barbs, they were listed as platinum barbs but I'm sure they some kind of hybrid tiger bars or something like that. Anyone heard of them or have any idea what the lineage could be? Here's a link to photos: fishboy_020 - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting Sorry...

Does anyone have any experience with these beautiful fish? I am thinking of getting one but have read such differing opinions about them! I have a 130 gal. tank with about 140lbs or lr 1 flame angel, 2 pink skunk clowns, 2 ocellaris clowns, 3 convict blennies,1 royal gramma and 1 sixline wrasse...

I'm thinking of buying a cowrie from a friend of mine, but the ting is really big, and I'm not sure what they eat or if it'll go around my tank knocking over all the LR. Does anyone have any advice on these monster snails?

oh yeah and 1 mandarin who eats my homemade food like it's the best thing he's ever seen! :D

ok I was asking about a hogfish but decided against it....how are blue hamlets? The books I have don't have any info on these guys! Anyone with words of sdvice? I have an emperor angel, flame angel, yellow tang, brazilian gramma, six line wrasse, 2 ocellaris, 2 pink skunks, 3 convict blennies...

Does anyone have any info on this fish? Or has anyone kept one and have any insight into its behavior, like is it aggresive to other fish or will it wipe out my crab or snail population? Any info at all would be nice! thanks in advance!

A friend of mine brought me a mandarin(synchiropus splendidus) for my birthday-not a fish that I would have bought myself-and since I don't put anything directly into my main I put it into my QT that has no live rock 3 weeks ago. Now I know everyone says you need to have a ton of LR to keep them...

sorry i meant idea

the tang is in my qt, and my main tank has been running for over a year. I bought some cupramine and a copper test but had heard that it was a bad isea for tangs

I just bought a PBT and it seems to have 3 or 4 spots on it, looks like ich, it is rubbing against a plastic log (something to hide in). Now I've heard that you should not treat tangs with copper for ich because it will kill the bacteria growing in their stomachs, so what would you suggest? :?:

Hi everybody, just a quick question, I went to see what a local importer had for sale and he told me he treats all his tangs with Melafix, anyone have any opinion about this product?

just wondering, does anyone have an opinion on putting a hippo and a powder blue together in a 6 ft. 130 gal aquarium?

ok, my fish does not have any spots or clouding on him, he's been in quarantine for a week now and still seems to have the nervous tick. my quarantine tank is a 33gal with a crushed coral base with a canister filter and a hang on aquaclear. both have carbon in them, I used 2 filters so i could...

I would say even with the 20gal. you could get about 4 pseudotropheus demasoni, they are a beautiful little fish, and stay very small, if you put in enuf rock they would be ok.....hope that helps

I don't think its the bi color angel, its Genicanthus bellus, a female, from what I am told it is not often seen in the trade!

does anyone have any experience with a bellus angel, I saw one about 3" that I can get for 40$ which I think is very cheap, but I just want to know if they are tough to keep or very finicky eaters? thank for any info :?:

I recently bought a juvenile emperor angel(for a great price) who is in quarintine right now, occasionally he seems to get an itch(for lack of a better word) where he wiggles his fins and swims real fast. He doesn't seem to have any visible signs of disease and the other two fish in with him are...

has anyone ever tried Red Sea salt? or have an opinion on the brand? I just bought a bucket enough for 200 gallons and now I'm wondering if it's any good since I haven't seen anyone talk about it on these posts!

oh ya, and 1 bubble tip anenome(sp?), and 1 rock with star polyps

my other stock, well right now I have a pair of occelaris clowns(ya-ya I know but my son loves them), 1 flame angel, 1 convict blenny, 3 cleaner shrimp, some hermits and some turbo snails
