:P I know.. and I appreciate it... I've just been harrassed (if that is fully possibly on a forum) for saying I have no idea what I'm doing. I have tonnes to learn, and I guarantee every one here is more experienced than I will ever be right now. But my common sense and I guess enough...

Yeah but you guys always assume that I am going to keep him for the whole time... it doesnt take 2 months for him to get HUGE... he'll only grow to about 4-5" in captivity... he is about 3 inches ATM... so yeah... before anyone starts freaking out at me saying i dont know crap all... remember...

I recently purchased a kole tang, and he's doing great in my tank.. My domino damsel had no idea what the heck it was, and now they swim side by side all over the place. He's about 3 inches long give or take, and eating tonnes, I throw in some zucchini for him and he mows down on some pieces...

lol need small clowns? well we have just the clowns.. ours range from full grown maroon clowns to just over half an inch long perc. clowns :P hahaha.. someone traded in a spawn of perc clowns at work the other day :P so we have PLENTY of babies to go around

I have two female bettas, two golden swords, a hi-fin platy, redtail black shark, and a golden algae eater in my 10 gallon... my one female had no idea what the shark was so she would constantly flare at him. But now they co-exist really well... They do enjoy the company of others... and same...

its kind of hard to say with that... did they have any fungus or anything unsusual on their bodies before they died? it sounds like mostly that the water was just either too cold for them, or the sitting water created a film on the surface preventing them from getting air... Or it couldve...

Alright... the reason why I was asking is that i lost my pH chart, so I had no idea what mine was at. It is at 8.0 which apparently is fine... but just incase i get a wierd drop or increase in pH (which i doubt) I bought a buffer, which is a powder to keep the pH consistant at 8.3.

So I take it my reading is perfectly fine??? Or is it a little on the low side?

damsels are mean.... If you can (and i know this sounds mean :P) But see if the store where you bought them from would take them back for an in-store credit of some kind. I have one domino damsel which i used to start cycling my tank, and thats all right now.. (stupid lionfish died on me) and...

Whats the level supposed to be???? I forgot what level it is supposed to be at http://www.goldfishinfo.com/ph.htm That link shows a fresh water pH chart... and the colour of my tanks pH is at the colouring on 6.8.... i couldnt remember what my last test read.. but if someone can give me a...

Thanks Cindy... I'll have a water test by this weekend. It was so wierd with his sudden death... I buried him this afternoon, and the funny thing is, is that his mouth was gaping open... Really odd...

Alright quick question... My dwarf lionfish wasnt eating, and he finally started eating some ghost shrimp. Now I fed him maybe 3 and a tiny shrimp. And that was it for a few days. Since he hadnt eaten in a week, was this maybe too much food for him in one sitting? The shrimp were maybe a cm...

I appologise for being a bit vague... I more than likely ruined this whole post and peoples likings towards me lol :roll: I measured my lion today, and he's is officially 4 and a half inches ( i was guesstimating with his length a few posts up) Anyways, to clarify my origial topic, I put that...

hey thanks for posting again.... my dwarf is shy at the moment.. he's been in the tank for a week and a bit, and hes still getting used to having someone looking in the tank here and there. But he's eating now (ghost shrimp) so its a step forward from shyness. The dwarf I have is about 4 inches...

i wasn't going to put all that in there.... they are all just considerations meaning that I might put one here and there in the tank..... lol i have common sense :P i'm just giving myself some variety... marine bettas dont get that big :P the one we had at work was full grown.. we got him in on...
