I was thinking about the betta, and would absolutely love to get some shrimp, but I havent found anybody on maui that sells cherry shrimp or ghost shrimp. To answer your question, I live on maui. I know I am limited when it comes to a ten gallon as well. What about shell dwelling cichlids? I...

Hey all! So I am looking at resetting my tank, redecorating a bit and new fish mostly. My gourami passed away due to DGD which sucks but I look at it as a way to enjoy new, different fish. My current fish in tank are 4 Corydoras (trilineatus I think is what you spell it as) False Julies...

quick update, I am now sure that he had/has DGD, he is now lying on his side at the bottom of the tank and I am pretty sure he is going to die... Its really too bad that these fish are being bred in a way that this disease can thrive in their populations. I expect him to pass by the end of the...

Sale of corals The sale of all species of stony corals which are native to the Hawaiian Islands is prohibited. HAR 13-95-70 Some examples of native Hawaiian corals are shown below. This list does not include all native species. Rose and cauliflower corals, lace corals, antler coral, lobe coral...

I would imagine that is why, especially considering that there is a HUGE fine for taking coral or even if your found breaking it...Truth be told though, I don't think I have seen any soft corals here yet. I know you are allowed to collect fish without a collectors permit (to a certain size of...

I was thinking of an invert tank too, problem is, with corals here in Hawaii I dont have very many options because you arent supposed to have any hard or soft "native" corals. Collecting is obviously out of the option but I might be able to get some softs from my LFS which is awesome. What...

I'll see what I can do about a bigger tank, the biggest issue is not having room. If I do go with the 10 however, do you think I could get a scooter blenny in there? I absolutely adore those fish for some reason! Tell me what you think I could put in there even the types of gobies you would...

Hey all, So I was thinking that maybe, depending on my finances, I would start a 10 gallon nano tank, FOWLR or even just Fish Only. What kinds of things would I need to start me off? Pumps? Recommended Fish? Anything helps really! I know that I dont have much to work with in a 10 but I have...

Hey all, I live in Maui and have been looking for a fish store that has FW cherry shrimp and it is IMPOSSIBLE! I know they are legal here so I dont understand why it is so hard to find them. I have looked at petco, The Maui Pet Shop, Kihei pet supply, but, alas NOTHING. I was wondering if...

I would put corys in again, but this time around get a good shoal of em' they like to be in groups and school/shoal together. You could get the Platys again as well. instead of neon tetras you could get glowlights, they look similar but are clear and have a orange flourescent stripe through them...

I'm sorry, Can't really give you advice on what to do with the fish but I CAN help you to prevent this from happening in the future. you can go buy a sponge filter head or you can put nylon stockings around the filter secured with a rubber band. One last thing though, did he get sucked INTO the...

I mean, look around instead of just going off my assumption. I would look to see if there are any pigeon blood discus that look like yours or look similar to yours. sorry to confuse you =P

I would venture to -guess- that it is a very pretty morph of a Pigeon Blood discus. I would hate to give you incorrect information though so I would look around a bit and look at some of the better Pigeon Bloods out there.

just so I know what to not suggest, what did you guys have in it before the green water? Also, I believe nearly all fish will be pretty sensitive to the tapping on the glass. I do have one idea for what to put in but you might need to get lucky to find them and get a bunch because I know they...

hmmm... it could be one of 3 color morphs I think, either a very pretty "Pigeon Blood" a "Snakeskin" or a "ocean green" which I dont know about really. I think it is either a pigeon blood or a snakeskin. What was he sold to you as or was he just labeled as a general discus?
