Recently, I have read some things that I'd like to hear more about. Here they are: 1. Some breeds of dwarf angelfish can be kept together. I was under the impression that dwarf angelfish were dangerously aggressive toward one another in captivity. Nevertheless, I have read that Half-blacks and...

I had an outbreak of ich in my saltwater tank (30g). So, I took my fish out of the tank, and put them in QT for 8 weeks -- a little longer, actually. Now, as I understood it, the 8 weeks should have been enough time for ich to die off in my main tank. So, at the end of 8 weeks, I returned my...

I have a brittle starfish. Not a green one. A banded one. Anyway, I want to be sure that it gets enough food, so I'm expecting that I will need to target-feed the little beastie. My question is: How? I have tried putting all kinds of stuff on the bottom of the tank, right in front of it. That...

I have noticed that some of the fish in the store where I buy most of my stuff have been in stock for quite some time. That is to say -- in some cases -- a particular fish has been in a particular tank for 3 or 4 weeks, and sometimes more. If I buy a fish like that, do I still need to keep it...

I have a 30 gallon tank, with about 20 lbs of live rock. The bottom is sand, and I am thinking about adding some plants, but that's another thread altogether, I'm afraid. Right now, I'm thinking about starfish. I have 2 snails (of some unknown and pedestrian-looking variety) and 2 emerald...

Not sure how long I will feel the need to begin with this disclaimer, but: I'm new at this. So...I have a 30 gallon tank, with about 20 lbs of live rock. Sadly, Ich has overtaken all of my fish, and they are in a couple of quarantine tanks, where I hope they won't all die. That leaves 2 snails...

I'm very new to this hobby. I have a 30 gallon FOWLR tank, with 3 damsels, a blenny, and a copperband (plus about 20 pounds of live rock, 2 snails and 2 emerald crabs. The tank has been fully up and running for about 2 months (after a month or so to cycle). Unfortunately, all of my fish now...
