Thanks for the tip, I started aging the water as of yesterday and I will try some fresh food food from the local Fish market. ;) Jc

I've fed him mussels in full and he's bit the shell very hard. I could hear him from 50 feet away chomping at it, trying to get the food inside. LOL His beak seems normal to me as he sometimes bites my finger when I clean the tank and it still seams like a healthy bite, he just won't keep...

I forgot to add that he still gets excited when I bring food near the tank. He tries to eat the aquarium glass but then when the food hits the water.. he just sort of plays with it. Squirts water at it.. then he fakes to snap at it and then backs away. Here are the following foods that i've...

My Purcupine Puffer hasn't been eating for over 1.5 weeks now. I've lost my Yellow tang 4 weeks as she decided to stop eating as well. I've had this tank set up for over 3 years now. My water parameters are the following: Ammonia= 0 Nitritres= 0 Nitrates= 10 ppm (been constant for 3 years)...

I second that...

It takes certain fish a little more time then 1 week to aclimate to a new tank. If you have a good amount of hidding spots then he should feel quite comfortable. For food I would definatly get him the Formula 1. They have a mix for Dwarf or Flame Angels I think as they require a specific...

I would recommend bringing the clowns back and have them babysit them for awhile until your tank is cycled. That's the least they can do for giving such poor advice.

I have never had any parasites either (knock on wood), don't know if it's just my luck or not but I do not beleive in the fresh water dip. The fish is already stressed enough, was shipped half way around the world in some tiny overcrowded fish container. The fish doesn't need any addtional...

Remora C is the way to go... Jc

The higher the temp the less oxygen in your water. Higher the specific gravity, the more suseptible your fish are to certain illness. This is what I was told, if this is not true please let me know. Thx Jc

Well they are past the egg stage now. I just hope these are little snails and not a bad critter that will cause problems. They range from 1/32 to 1/16 of an inch. How often do they lay there eggs? I have two Nassarius snails in there right now. Jc

Is it possible that my Nacarius (spelling??) snail is having babies. I did not see 1 little patch of eggs but now I watch these little white worm like things coming out from under her shell and going for the algea on my glass.... they move really fast for their size... I saw abot a hundred or...

I am going with the Remora C with surface skimmer... I am getting as an x-mas gift so I can't wait.... :) Jc

Aqua C Urchin or EV...

I don't know if you can get this from LFS but I used some Spurinula press on tablets. They are little circles that you press on the glass and all my fish go nuts. My flame used to love the stuff no matter if she was in a moody stage or not. Mine are called Nibblers from a company called OSI. Jc
