from all the research I have done I can say that it is never safe to keep any trigger (especially a picasso or clown) together with a butterfly. even if the trigger is smaller. althought it doesn't really look like he was attacked in the photo. i agree with the previous reply. looks like a...

my puffer is still recovering from what I beleive to be a bacterial infection. he has not eaten in almost 2 weeks. he is still very active. he usually eats like a pig everyday so this really concerns me. :( how long can a sick fish go without eating?

well he is now in a Quarantine Tank. he doesn't have cloudy eye though. just really bad white blotches where it looks like his skin is being eaten away. ??? the medication that i'm using (Maracyn) claims that it doesn't affect the beneficial bacteria in your tank. though i'm switching to a...

I have a sick spiny box puffer. all of his spikes have turned completely clear and he has huge white patches covering his body, some fin rot. this has only happened once before but this is by far the worst it has ever been. I have been treating him with maracyn. it was continuing to get worse...

ok sorry if i'm posting this in the wrong section, i'm hoping someone can help me out here.... i just added a pincushion urchin to my bio cube. it's small, i'd say about 2". anyway it's been in my tank for about 2 days and it hasn't moved. i know it's not dead and no it has not dropped any...

I did use maracyn to medicate and have many times before, that has never happened.

yeah, so......does anyone else know what could have caused my water to turn brown. it still hasn't cleared up yet.

no brown algae in the tank. just brown water. i was told to use a phosphate remover to clear it up.....

yes, it was medicated. i was just remembering i had some red slime on my live rock and I scraped it off with a toothbrush. maybe that caused a bacterial bloom causing my water to turn brown???

I've never had this problem before. yesterday i came home from work and noticed that my water had turned a dark brown. so i did a 50% water change and it cleared up. then i come come today and it's exactly the same. the only thing that has changed recently with my aquarium is that I upgraded my...

never mind, I figured it out but thank you :)

is it safe to mix Mardel medications with Aquarium Pharmaceuticals? :confused:

can this red algae, (cyanobacteria) cause fish to become ill??

i will also be keeping him in a 125, as far as aggressive tank mates, I'm worried about my sailfin tang b/c he's usually a bully to all my newbies, but then he calms down after about a day. how long did yours live and how long did it take to get it to eat?
