hum, my husband talked to one of the lfs guys (not my usual fish guy who knows everything about my tank, he was out) and said could've been a freak accident. Finding myself slightly annoyed he didn't recommend the sponges! my anemone no longer wanders, simply has in the past. I was told they...

I forgot to mention that one of the powerheads detached during the night from the suctioncup/magnet and I woke up to a hurricane about a week ago...I assumed this would have naturally stressed everyone out.

Okay so I've been having some issues with my powerheads - my sons anemone has gotten caught more than once but never seriously injured- as I normally catch it and unplug it - I had expected this as a possiblity because I've heard this from many friends. This evening I found my Sailfin Tang...

we have bamboo from them but they came with snails...sigh I try to only buy supplies from them

mine are weird too, I was told if I wanted two to buy them together because if clowns fight they can fight to the death, so we have a big bright orange one and a smaller duller orange one that we obviously picked from the same tank as they were already living together... my small one -my son's...

not sure if you resolved your issue but I read a neat article where a guy had a very small nano tank set up on his desk for just his mantis, said he was amazing to watch and likes to rearrange rock and stuff.

I should mention that part of the issue I am having researching violet gobies or Gobioides Broussonnetti, is that there is a variety of wrong information available. For instance most info I am finding is that they are highly aggressive and like to eat live foods this simply isn't true! they eat...

I was thinking that and that the drip method might be okay kinda as if they were swimming from one place to another - it's just a scary thought to think I could murder him I guess! i would love it if he showed me such excitement as your molly it would make me feel alot better lol

So my new tank (80 gallon reef "want to be") has been up and running for about a month now, besides the live rock I had initially used Cycle, as recommended to jump start the bacteria, a couple weeks after that when my numbers looked good we added a small clean up crew which pretty much cleaned...

awe sorry about your argi - even though your clown wasn't harrassing him initially is it possible that it started to and maybe he was hiding out in the overflow? I'm sorry he caused you so much trouble - it always amazes me what trouble we will go to "save" a fish, sometimes I think they can...

to keep them from scattering you could use a head lamp (like a headband but with a flashlight on your forehead) the one I use to peak in all my tanks has night vision which is a red light and a regular light - with the night vision no one "runs" away. Either they can't see it or it doesn't...

Thanks! I did upload some pix & I think I have become addicted to this site!

my friends dempseys were pretty aggressive, they eventually paired up & bred after that the male ended up in his own tank at my house, along with several babies in another tank while the female rejoined the african cichlids they started out living with, I later gave him away to a neighbor with...

Short intro - married, mom of 3, student, former navy wife, now a proud national guardsmens wife. I love nature & animals. I recently joined this site, tho I have come across it several times before when looking for advice, I decided to join because my life long dream & one I spent verbally...
