Ich is NOT always present in an aquarium. Ich must be introduced in some way. Ichthyophthirius multifilis (the parasite which causes ich) theronts (the stage of the parasite that seeks out a host fish) die without a host in about 48 hours at normal aquarium temperatures.
Pictures would help...
Yeah whoops I didn't update it. I set up a nano reef a few months ago.
Have you ever had a lot of needle dieoff with hornwort? My partner added hornwort to her new tank and the needles have fallen off in a matter of weeks. Wondering if it's just die off due to the new environment.
It's been a little more than 6 months. I've had pretty good success. The only outright death I've had was an emerald crab early on. Had a firefish jump a few weeks ago and a pink bar goby jump early on. I lost a montipora digitata and a green birdsnest, but otherwise my corals have generally...
Have you seen the shrimp at all? I would give it a few more days. My shrimp/goby pair sometimes goes into hiding for a few days. My presumption is that this corresponds with the shrimp molting.
+1 check for jumps or other such escapes. My goby has gone floor surfing once and made a few more...

Hey all,
I'm looking to finally set up my first saltwater tank. I wanted to get thoughts on the biocube. They have 16g ones on sale at the big box nearby. Is this too small to start with?I've been doing freshwater fish for 15 years so I would like to think I can handle a small saltwater but i...
I bred wild mollies that I caught in a drainage ditch next to a Walmart :lol:
This is to say- just about any water will do. They're hardly fish!! You also definitely dont need salt!
Harder water is preferable. Bred them at moderate (76-78) temps.
I think in addition to this, from a business perspective, consumers can buy their fish and supplies from the internet too. So having good information becomes a reason for people to go to a big box store rather than ordering off Amazon.
Not that I care about that part. Yall know I'm in it to...
Yup it's me hi Brooks :D I've been on... let's call it medical leave :lol: the Florida thing didnt work out so here I am back in Maine working at a big box fish store
