I'm probably going to be setting up a second tank to try and clear my main tank of ick, have heard this may be the only way is to let the tank go thru its life cycle of no host fish. Its been suggested to go fishless and let it cycle, drastic but I'm tired of fighting off the **** pests. My...

Pulled out a rock today, I found another giant worm in a rock. I could see the end of him, rock is quarantined and waiting for him to come out to feed.

Great info......ill try to look at them differently. I know if 2 now that come out at night. Ill just let em be! Just no more foot long surprises! That still gives me the willies !

Lights out and I just spotted a bristleworm. He was out about 2 inches. Tried to suck him up in a baster but he sucked up into the rock and laughed at me. I've got tweezers for the next attempt! I'd get an arrow crab but I hear they'll eat my snails and hermits. And my new skunk...

Things went south today, He was looking good this morning with just a few specks but now is coated in a haze. We had to quarantine him in the hospital tank and started copper treatment. I hated so much having to catch him and move him but he was getting bad fast. Cross your fingers!

He already went down the toilet. Sorry! LFS said they had no desire or need for it. It was reddish brown, so its a fireworm instead? I just can't get over the fact this monster has been in my tank hiding out! What else will show up? Just too creepy for my tastes.

We're at about 2 months now. Went thru some Fiji damsels and dominos that went back to the store for pennies on the dollar. We still have more to catch but the last few are bring very tricky! One domino remains along with some yellowtails which wont let me come near them and are too smart for...

ive got a 5" blue tang, trying to decide if he's getting ick or just has natural bumps across his body. there were less yesterday i think, just wondered if some other blue tang owner could tell me if theirs has natural small bumps across their body or is my guy getting ick? didnt know if it...

Here's pics of everyone. Pearlscsle butterfly, threadfin butterfly, yellow eye kole tang, bicolor Angelfish, blue tang. Couldn't get the chromis to cooperate for a cleaning pic.

i bought 2 Threadfin Butterflies last week and a Pearlscale Butterfly, they get along perfectly. Also a Blue Tang, and ive seen not one bit of aggression towards eachother or the clowns in the tank. the Butterflies are about 3-4" and the Tang is about 5". Yesterday i added a Yellow Eye Kole...

out of concern too, i put what i had left of an ick treatment in the tank overnight..it wasnt enough for a full dose but better than nothing. i have a copper based treatment but was told i couldnt do it in the main tank without killing hermits and other stuff. i hate to segregate these 3 big...

im seeing these tiny white creatures, about the size of a grain of sand scurrying around on the glass or even swimming around. im now seeing something similar looking on my new big blue tang and butterflies. are these bad? are they attacking my fish like a parasite? ive asked at my store...

he was under a flat rock in the center of the tank, i scrabmled and got a wire net and bent the handle 90 degrees, pulled him out then got him with a net. into the bag he went. id love to see someone do something with him, more than me flushing him away. i just want to know where the hell he...

here's a little better pic of it

i think i attached it, isnt the best pic but will get a better one in a bit...i'll have to take the bag out of the water and get a better pic. if i dont get attacked!

i came out this morning, turned on the lights in the tank to wake everyone up, and about 10 mins later i see a GIANT bristleworm making his way across the bottom of the tank!!! he's probably 12" as is. my question is, is there any benefit to these guys? and if so, do you want it?! i cant...

If a fish were to be termed to nip at corals or considered not reef safe, would it not be smart to add a bubble or similar anemone to the tank? 120 gal tank, possibly adding done butterflies or angels. Copperband butterfly, clowns and green filefish are already in the tank.

Anyone have any experience mixing these fish? I have a copperband, the other two are described as peaceful. Wondered if they can be mixed together? I have a 120gal tank, currently a copperband, 2 clowns, 3 bangaii cardinals, green filefish, and an assortment of damsals. Any info?

i have a Copperband Butterfly, but thinking of adding a couple new fish. Trying to find out others experiences with the Copperband's compatibilty with the Kleins, Powder Blue Tang and Royal Tang. any help would be appreciated!
