Today I came home from work to find my Orange Diamond Watchman Goby swimming in circles. I noticed that his head was red under his skin (where his brain would be and you could see a vein) so I'm not sure what happened. He could only make right turns. Well hours of him swimming and going in...

I just purchased a new BioCube 29 gallon! I have added live rock and waiting for it to cycle. I have been researching a lot and wanted some advice. I would like to stock my tank with the following fish: 2 O. Clowns 1 Bicolor Blenny 1 Sixline Wrasse Does this sound reasonable and can anyone...

I have a 75 gallon that has been up and running for several months now. All the fish were doing great until I brought home about 6 soft corals and LPS (I couldn't resist the deal). Well I have always heard just toss the corals in but the thought never crossed my mind that I might stress my fish...

I have searched around and cannot find too much information on a Two Spot Bristletooth Tang. Does anyone have one or previously had one? Are they ich magnets or anything special I should know before purchasing one?

I have a 75 gallon aquarium. I have just started adding coral into the tank. The fish I have in there are all peaceful except the Potter's Angel. Well of course he is fond of the coral but I hate to get rid of him. My question is this, if a Potter's Angel requires a minimum of 30 gallons, can I...

I am just now getting started with corals. I have a 75 gallon aquarium with about 75 pounds of live rock. The tank has been cycled since December. I have 2 clowns, 3 cardinals, 1 orange watchman goby, 1 yellow tang (very small), and 1 Potter's Angel fish. Well I read an article on the Potters a...

I've seen a number of posts on here by very knowledgeable people stating that they do not like hermit crabs, but I don't believe I've ever seen them explain why. For those of you that are anti-hermit crab, can you tell me why? Up until today I had 12 hermies in my 75-gallon FOWLR, 6 red-legged...

I have searched through the posts and seen what people have said in the past, but I thought I'd pose the question anyway. I have a 75 gallon, currently FOWLR, but would like to venture into corals eventually. Not sure exactly what, but could run the gamut from softies all the way to SPS's. I...

I have a Orange diamond watchman Goby and I am interested in getting a firefish. Since both are goby's, is this possible? I know Goby's can be territorial. Any advice would be appreciated.

I have a small NH3 and NO2 spike in my 20 gal QT tank (~0.25 ppm NH3, ~0.5 NO2), currently holding an orange spot sleeper goby and a Bangaai Cardinal. I only have 3 gallons of ready to go mixed up saltwater on hand, left over from my weekly PWC yesterday. I doubt 3 gal is going to make that...

I have a Diamond Watchman Goby in quarantine that I bought two days ago. Looked great at the store, and this morning I am seeing white spots. I'm assuming this is the dreaded Ich or Velvet. At this point it only appears to be on the fins, but that might be because I can't see any on his body...

I would like to get a Lawnmower Blenny. If they eat natural algae, how do I quarantine them? Do you supplement their food or do you not QT them at all?

I am a bit confused. I have a 20 Gallon QT tank. I put 3 Pajama Cardinals in last week (Friday to be exact). (I did drip acclimation) I put CLOUT in there as a precaution, they looked fine..everyone is happy. 10 minutes later, one was dead. It seemed to me that the little guy could never swim to...

I've heard and seen that a lot of people paint the back of their tank either black or blue as it hides all of the equipment outside the tank. I was told that typically it is just spray painted. I want to use black, and I was told to use flat black. I wasn't smart enough to come across this...

I have something growing on my LR. It is deep burgundy in color, but does not appear to be cyano. Most of it is little spots that appear to have a small "tube" or "tip" sticking out of the end of it. One or two places it is more of a covering (like coralline algae). Upon physical inspection...

Hello! I received a 75 gallon aquarium (FOWLR) for Christmas. I have never had an aquarium before so I'm very new to the game but my boyfriend has had several large freshwater aquariums. I have had the tank set up for about 4 weeks and it has completed it's cycle. I have added a cleanup crew...
