My hippo tang has been repeatedly scratching himself against a piece of live rock the past few days. Has anyone ever saw a fish do this before? I wonder why it's doing that?

I've had my blue hippo tang for about 2 weeks now and the past few days I have noticed that his tail and fins are all tore up. He also has a white spot (I don't think it's ICH) on his side. He also looks kinda bumpy and his face looks a little bit up. I have been watching my tank and noticed...

There is a hippo tang at my lfs that I'd like to get but he is a little dull in color. He seems to be healthy and he ate well, I'm just a little concerned because his color isn't very bright. The lfs said he will get more color once he is in a more stable environment, is this true? I'm...

I have a terrible fear of snakes and my husband just bought a snowflake eel for our fishtank! It's very small right now, maybe 8 inches. What I want to know is...how big will he get and how long will it take him to get that big? Will it eat or terrorize our other fish (clowns, royal gramma...

etropicals.com is supposed to be owned by the same 2 doctors as liveaquara.com (which I have heard wonderful things about). Anyway, on Sunday I ordered 2 false percula clowns. On Tuesday when the fish came they sent me 2 Royal Grammas instead. So I called them up and they sent my clowns out...

I acclimated our new Royal Gramma's today for an hour before putting them in the tank (as told to by etropicals.com). They have been in the tank now for 4 hours and they still aren't swimming around. They're still in the "hybernation" state that they came in. When they first came I really...

Has anyone ever ordered from etropicals.com? It's the same doctors that own liveaquaria.com. We ordered 2 tank breed False Percula Clowns and they sent us 2 Royal Gramma basslets! How the heck could anyone get the two of these confused? So, now they are sending us the 2 clowns on Friday...

I was looking at liveaquaria.com but I also wanted to know if there were any other reputable online fish stores?

I'm posting this for my father in law who can't type..... He has 240 lbs of LR in a 125. He has green algae ALL over (i think it is called turf algae), and even the water has a green tint to it. His water tests are all coming up perfect, and he does a lot of them. He used filtered water to...

We just bought an Emerald crab at our LFS. After putting it in our tank we realized there are very small "critters" crawling all over him? What are these? Will they hurt the rest of the tank?

After all the chaos of the live rock situation from last night, I just took a cup of water to my LFS and had them test it. They said that all my levels looked great except my pH. They said it was a little low. I tested it again just now and according to my Red Sea test kit it is just fine. I...

We've had our tank running for about 5 weeks now. We have a 75 gallon tank had 5 damsels in there for 4 weeks (we know it's now wrong we only found out after our LFS told us to do it). Anyway, we have a lot of brown algae but it is not turning green! My husband has tested 2 times -one week...

My husband just brough a bunch of live rock home from the LFS. He was told it was cured so he dumped it into the tank but then noticed that it has A LOT of junk still on it. He took it out of the water and ran a soft bristled toothbrush over it and A LOT of junk is coming off of it. Do you...
