Hi.... we had a betta, but he died tonight. My 6-year old daughter would like a new fish. What beginner fish would you recommend that won't outgrow the tank? TIA, Natalie

Hi, our black moor has a puffy eye. He is eating normally. The water quality wasn't good. We have changed his water twice since Friday morning. Will this clear up with water changes or do I need medication? TIA, Natalie

Hi.. My remaining fish are 1 royal gramma & 1 percula clownfish. I also have a chocolate chip starfish. We have a 55 gal tank. What fish would you suggest? The two fish that we have left like to hide. So, I wanted to get a fish that wouldn't mind being out in the open. Also, would like...

Hi.... I currently have my inverts (choc chip starfish & 3 turbo snails) in a 10 gal Q-tank. I bought them last Saturday & since then they have turned the disgusting algae tank into a sparkling clean tank. What food should I supplement them with until I can move them to their permanent home...

Hi....One of our two remaining clownfish jumped ship and died on the carpet behind the aquarium. Unfortunately, we didn't know he/she jumped until the next day :cry: We put aquarium cleaning scrubbers over the opening by the filter. Does anyone know why he/she jumped out? We only have 4 fish...

Hi...last night we went to Petco to buy a heater for a small aquarium. As always we looked at the saltwater fish. I noticed that one of the percula clownfish was being attacked by the other fish in the tank. I told the employee (he asked his boss what to do)... they moved the poor percula to...

Hello, again. We are treating the main tank for ich (with Cupramine). I know this is a big no no, BUT we didn't think it would be good to cram 7 fish (at the time) into a 10 gal QT. Our choc chip star is currently calling the QT home. The yellow tang has a torn fin (on the top). Should we...

Hi...We have a 55 gal tank... I am trying to calculate if I can purchase additional fish. I obtained the following adult fish measurements from liveaquaria.com : Percula Clownfish Adult size up to 3 in (2) Royal Gramma Adult size up to 3 in (1) Yellow Tang Adult size up to 8 in...

Another percula clownfish was attacked. One of his fins looks tattered. I'm not for sure which tankmate attacked the clownfish. We did have three clownfish, but another one was killed. On another one of my posts, someone commented that clarkii clownfish are boisterous. Do you think we...

Hi... Our black & white striped butterfly (Gill) lost most of his color today. He looks like he's been washed in bleach. We treated the tank for ich a couple of weeks ago. All of the fish look ok now. Today I noticed that "Gill" looks like he has been white-washed. Is he sick? Will his...

Hi...I would eventually like to purchase another starfish. We have a chocolate chip star now. Which star would you suggest? Another chocolate chip star? The LFS had a red knob star, serpent star & brittle star. 55 gal tank w LS 2 percula clownfish 1 clarkii clownfish 1 Yellow Tang 1...

The LFS told me that he uses UV lighting in his tanks to help get rid of ich. Is this true? I have a 55 gal and a 10 gal Q tank. We are having an ich outbreak that I'm sure I got from the other LFS. All 7 fish have ich. I thought this was too many fish to move to the Q tank (10 gal). So I...

Hi.. one of our percula clownfish is at the bottom of the aquarium and has been attacked. Below his eye and near his fin is bloody. We moved him to the quaratine tank. What meds should we give him? We have: 3 percula clownfish yellow hawaiian tank royal gramma butterfly clarkii clownfish...

Hi.... We have noticed in the last few days, spider web looking stuff/slime on top of the LS. Any idea as to what it is? Thanks, Natalie

Hi.. I have 2 chocolate chip star fish. We also have a hermit crab that has major issues. We think he killed the horseshoe crab. Now.... the chocolate chip starfish have chunks of their "chips" missing. I think the culprit is the hermit crab. Do you think that the hermit crab did this...

I have a 55 gal saltwater tank. The hermit crab recently molted and this morning we found the shell of the horseshoe crab with the hermit crab lording over it. It looks like the shell didn't have anything in it (remnants of a crab). We wondered if the horseshoe crab molted or the hermit crab...
