Thanks for all your responses. Yes, we do use RO water, but have never heard of or seen a kit to test for po4. If the po4 is high, could that have had any effect on the yellowheaded jawfish we lost? I'll check that out and see what I can find. We've been constantly adjusting our feeding to...

This is probably a very stupid question. Is is common (or even possible) that fish get stuck within the leaves of a fake plant in the aquarium? I've lost two fish this way, I think. I had one angelfish get caught between the side of the aquarium and the side of a mountain decoration. I...

Hi, I have a 50 gal SW tank with 1 Pelewensis Butterfly, 1 chocolate chip star fish, 1 Maroon Clown Fish, and 1 Tiger-striped Fancy Serpent Sea Star. I also had 1 yellowheaded jawfish who just died, but will be replaced ASAP. Here's my problem. I have bought over 3 dozen turbo snails over...

:cry: Never mind - she died last night :cry:

Hi, I have a 50 gallon saltwater acrylic tank. In the tank I have a maroon clown fish, a Pelewensis Butterfly, a yellowheaded jawfish and a chocolate chip starfish. I have had all the fish for at least 4 months. As of the other day, my yellowheaded jawfish started eating less then usual. Also...

So sorry to hear about Brutus. We lost our purple Beta last week just as suddenly. The hardest part is getting over what went wrong when you try to be so care careful and do everything right.

First of all, I've used this procedure to cycle 2 other tanks (on the advice from the lfs and this site!) and can proudly say that I have never lost a fish. Second, the Bio-Spira was to help avoid any ill effects from cycling and research told me that the Damsels are hearty fish and should not...

Sorry you were confused by the post. Yes, what you understand is correct and the first fish were added 2 days after set-up (11 days ago). Does that matter?

Hi: I have a Yellow Tail Damsel that has a white ulcer looking growth on the flap of 1 gill. I call it an ulcer because it sticks out from the surface. 3 days ago I noticed a small white dot on the front base of the dorsal fin. Today I noticed the gil ulcer. The fish is otherwise eating...

Don't mean to step on your question illuminum, but Allivymar said and I wanted to know if he had a better rule of thumb. If I go by the standard rule, my tank is maxed out but watching the way my fish interact and behave, they don't a room problem. What do you think? Thanks illuminum

Have you tried ordering on-line? Where/ how do you get your other fish supplies?

I just picked up 3 Clown Loaches and they are so cool. They act more like dogs than fish. They're always sniffing and sticking their noses in the gravel, wagging their tails and their front flippers loook like little feet! They look very different from the "long bodied" ones shown posted...

COOL! You said the other day you were trying but you hadn't had any luck. Good job! Keep us posted on your progress!
