Seems like he's doing much better now. He found a cozy little spot behind a rock on the sand bed in the back coner. Thanks!

Okay, The reassurance is appreciated. I'll move my rock around a little and make sure he's got a good hiding place, and keep the room lights on for a bit when the tank lights go out.

I recently moved my setup from a 18 long to a 28 bowfront. The tank cycled for over a month, and I've had a cleanup crew (6 turbos, 2 emerald crabs) going for about a week and a half. This Saturday (10/16), I moved my clown from the old tank (at my parents’ house) to his new home in the 28. I...

What makes me nervous is that it has quite a bit of flex when I'm walking around on it. And I don't know what the resiliency is like over time...

You can see this post about his harrowing life: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f70/the-highlander-100778.html After looking again, he’s probably closer to 2.5” now. He’s in a larger bowl than shown in that post now. It’s a three gallon, which I realize is still too small, but that’s...

I recently purchased a new condo with my fiancée, and I'm getting ready to move my aquarium. I just bought a new 28 gal bowfront with stand. My problem is this: with this new home, I needed to install new flooring as the carpeting was shot. We chose to install laminate (fake wood) flooring...

I currently have a common goldfish that I've had for about 3 years now. He's about two inches long, head to tail, and I need to get him a new home. Does anyone know of some good tankmates for him that wouldn't mind living in, say a ten gallon tank? I was thinking newts, something that could...

Right now, I have common goldfish (read his harrowing tale here: http://www.aquariumadvice.com/forums/f70/the-highlander-100778.html) he's now living in a 2 gal fishbowl with a filter/bubbler. I'm ready to move him into a bigger tank, which he definitely needs. I'm thinking something not...

He is starting to grow a bit. I am going to get him a new tank shortly. It's more a matter of space in my home than in the bowl right now!

Oh yeah. I't was just crayola watercolor paint, and 2 big pieces of paper (from my mom's watercolor pad) So maybe $3...Maybe $15 if you had to buy the pad?

Watercolor Background I painted my own, using watercolors, and watercolor paper, that I stuck outside the tank facing in. I did mine similar to the blue gradient (lighter at the top, darker on the bottom) you would buy in the LFS, but, it has a more hand crafted feel and look, which is what I...

green hairy fingers Here are some better pics of the green hairy finger guys (amongst some polyps): and a side shot of one of them: I did order some Joe's Juice, and if they are manjano, it is suppsoed to take of that too. I repost again if it does like it should.

So, I got 13lbs of LR from my LFS. The guy said he got it from one of his customers who had a giant tank, but had to get rid of because of remodeling. Here's the tank: It has lots of purple coralline algae (I think), and some other "things" I need help with: There's many colonies of...

I just wanted to share this. This is The Highlander. I'm not exactly sure what kind of fish he is. I got him in a 12 pack of feeder goldfish from my LFS. (Is he just a dark goldfish?) Anyway, he and all the rest of the gold fish were destined to become food for my Red Ear Slider turtle...

I suppose it would be a good idea to get the Crushed Coral out then, I'm just not looking forward to breaking down the tank and pulling all the water and Crushed Coral out...especially since i just started it! :(
