Okay so I went with the Clarkii and got a pair. the two largest of the 9 they had at the Petco. It has been about a week and suddenly the larger has roped off a territory and is chasing the other off. How long before a mated pair becomes mated? How long before one becomes female?

So what do baby snails look like? My wife thinks I need to pass out cigars.

What in your opinions would be the pluses or minuses between these two fish ... which would you prefer and why? Do you think a Clarki would mess with shrimp or crabs? Thanks!

Just curious ... I was browsing Drs. Foster and Smith. They made a statement about clowns: "If introduced to the aquarium at the same time, many varieties of tank bred clowns can be maintained together in the aquarium." What's your opinion?

I did a water change and a couple days later I loss my two clown fish. Checked the PH which had spiked. But ammonia was fine as well as the other peramiters.

I guess this is a stupid question. I've just started stocking my tank. Put in a 3 Stripe Damsel and he is about an 1"X1". Went to the Fish Shopr a couple weeks later and saw adult"?" that were 3"X3" ... just curious what is the average rate of growth. I'm not trying to rush anything ... just...

Okay ... I'm 2 weeks into the cycle and I'm on my green algee blume ... water perameters are pretty close ... But I've been getting bubbles coming from the curing live rock. They are silver or clear and not green. Being color blind I asked my wife. They seem to dissapear over the night when the...

Okay ... I'm not having much luck here ... I may have to get a water chiller ... with the Lights on and everything running ... except the heater ... my tank after 10 hours is just over 83F. It's a little hot here in Florida and it's winter time. The Tank is a 34 gal Red Sea. Any suggestions...

OK ... Stupid question. The tank has just been set up and the sand is settling ... water is already clearer. But I've noticed some areas on the live rock where the sand has settled thickly. So after it clears should I give it a gentle brushing?

So and suggestions for a clean up crew and amount for a 34 gal tank? And do you keep this number as a constant? Thanks.

So today my SW tank arrived and is set up. HORRAH! I've only been waiting since the week before Thanks giving . Now I can hurry up some more. However I've noticed that the store seem to be running sales on 10 gal and figured that they might do the job for a quarantine tank. Read the article on...
