I recently found some dark colored worms in my tank on the hood glass. I’ve found about 6 of them there now, varying in size. Largest one has been just shy of a centimeter. Any idea what they are and how to treat? Here’s a video: https://youtu.be/F1qo_sQ3PwA

I'm seeing little white lines on the glass and in the gravel of my tank. My two guesses: blood worms or snails. They're all over the place right now. Ideas? Tips on getting rid of them? Each line is very fine and about 1/2 cm long. Thanks! -Jessica.

A friend just have me several goldfish that were born while she had her pond fish inside last winter. The parents are those cheap, 25-cent feeder goldfish, but all the adults were orange, white, black, or a combination of those. All the babies are silver. Is there something I can/should do to...

Any idea what kind of color results I'll see with those color sands?

I'm starting up another h. zosterae tank. I've heard conflicting opinions on the best color substrate to use to see the best color in the horses. What do you all think? Thanks!

There are a few LFSs that stock live worms for those picky eaters. I've found 2 in a 40-mile radius from Boston, MA that stock them, so they're pretty easily found. Just call a few LFSs in your area, and I'm sure you'll find one that stocks them.

I have a 16g guppy tank and gave them live blood worms one time, because I had some left over from feeding a fire eel in another tank. It's been a couple of weeks since then. I went to do a PWC and vacuum out my gravel, and BLOOD WORMS EVERYWHERE!! Any suggestions on how to get rid of them? I...

If I put brine shrimp into a tank, but there's nothing in there that will eat them, will they just reproduce like crazy and take over the tank?

Should be all set, then. Thanks!

I have a Harlequin shrimp, and I need some cleaner shrimp. I'm looking into sexy shrimp, because I used to have some and loved them. Are the Harlequin and sexy shrimp going to do alright together?

You're right; I have to be patient. ...but I don't wanna.:puppydogeyes: Also, I always thought the grasshopper thing was making fun of Karate Kid II when Mr. Miyagi tells Julie to be like a praying mantis... Clearly, I'm misinformed.:)

I've had three mushrooms for about a month now, and I haven't seen any reproduction; that's why I decided to try to expedite things.

I disliked doing it that way, too. I also dislike having to chop of a star's leg so my harlequin shrimp can eat. I cringe every time. Anyhow, you said to take a strip from the top. Where from the top? Like this image? Thanks!

I read that, in order to expedite the multiplication of mushroom corals, you basically slice them up. Here's what I read: You cut it from the very bottom of the foot so there's a thin disc left. Then, you cut it into slices, each piece containing part of the "stem." Then place it in LR so it can...

Oh man, that site is like my holy grail! I must visit at least once a day when a new question arises. I've read almost every article posted on there by now. : ) Thanks for your help!

Etunes, I have the sea fan and some nice, clingable macro algaes scattered around (will upload photos soon). Anything else you might suggest for them?

Thanks. : ) I was planning on starting with just 2, actually, a mated pair. Then I would raise the fry and sell as many as necessary to my LFS, and if they continued to reproduce from there, I'd continue to sell them. Who knows--I may end up getting a larger tank to support all the little ones.

What is dact? If it helps, I removed all the rock except the tiny on on the left for the mushrooms to grow on. Other than that, there's just the sea fan, some macro algae, shells, and corals. There should be plenty of space for the horses now.

Update: I'm thinking a Nova T5 2x18w (1 blue actinic & 1 10K). Better?

In a 10g, about 20 dwarf seahorses (rule for these guys is a pair per gallon).

I take a small cup and put about 2" of water from my tank in it. Then I put the frozen cube into that cup. Then, after it's all thawed out, I dump the entire cup back into the tank. I think it works pretty well to distribute the food evenly.

Sure is! It's a sea fan. I wanted to get a gorgonian, but I'm new to corals and didn't want to take on more than I could handle. I figured this would be a good hitching spot for the seahorses instead. : )

Everyone seems to be asking about lighting recently, and I'm no exception. Will LED lights support zoas and mushrooms? I'm going to have a dwarf seahorse tank, and those are the two corals I've decided to go with. I just don't know about lighting. I'm considering this, but I want to know first...
