I found him dead the next morning. I dont think theres anything i could have done. :(

I just got home from work to find my oscar (5 1/2") laying on his side after eating an inch long figure eight puffer. Hes alive but looks very distressed. They werent housed together, but thats a long story. The Oscar ate him and it didnt sit well. I doubt this is a problem anyone has dealt, but...

90 gal reef with keys live rock. A few weeks ago i noticed tiny tiny little white things walking around on the glass. There are quite a few of them and they're more prolific in areas of algea growth. I cant give a good description as theyre incredibly tiny. Theyre very active and appear fairly...

Thanks a lot as always reefrunner for your prompt direct response.

Will an arrow crab kill snails? I would assume so. Will it kill my brittle stars? I hope not.

Im thinking of purchasing an arrow crab for my 90 reef while the fish are out being treated for ick. I want him to get rid of hitchhiker crabs and bristle worms. Will an arrow crab kill snails? I would assume so. Will it kill my brittle stars? I hope not.

Always posts twice. dont know what that is.

Just out of curiousity what are your thoughts on the anemone consumption?

Will copper kill bristle worms? How sure of a bet is an arrow crab? Will he be able to get rid of all of them on a small rock over a period of time? These questions from someone who will do anything to kill all the bristle worms. Ill post my reasons later on in a new topic that is very...

I just found the red sea sailfin tang ive been looking for for months now. If you have any care tips or foods that work I'd love to hear them. Thanks P.S. - Im not new to the hobby and this definitely wasnt an impulse buy. Im just looking for tips from those that have kept this species.

Mine are discs so i really dont feed them much at all. Ive heard many people say that discs dont need to be fed but I add some live phytoplankton every now and then and they always look great.

In any event I strongly dislike them. I dont think this is too unreasonable. I've got some that wonder around during the day and i find them quite unattractive. I know detrivors are beneficial but i think my clean up crew of crabs and snails will do the job in my seriously understocked...

I figured Id ad to this after what i saw earlier tonight. I came home to find 1 of 14 full maroon disc anemones dark, small, and shriveled. It was added to its current tank last night from another one of my tanks. After several months and many midnight redlight searches I turned up no bristle...

What can I dip live rock in to get bristle worms out of the rock. Freshwater? Carbonated salt water? Pretty straight forward question. Thanks.

I,ve also got a black ghost. He eats anything. He mostly feeds off the surface and he prefers bloodworms and flake. The clown wont touch the BGs food.

I was wondering what other people feed their clown knives. So far the only thing ive been able to get him to eat is turkey that i dangled in front of him and sinking algea wafers. He ignores food on the top. Ive been looking for some kind of sinking cichlid pellet but i cant find one. What do...

Ive got a clicking coming out of a 90 gal with a lot of LR. I was wondering if there is any way to tell the difference between mantis and pistol shrimp just by the way they sound. Ive never seen the noisemaker. If it is a pistol thats fine because the noise doesnt metter but if its a mantis id...

Im thinking of getting an arrow crab to hunt down the bristle worms in my clownfish breeder. I need to know if there is any possibility of an arrow crab attacking a sleeping clownfish. My clowns always sleep on the open sand.

Well that all got incredibly out of hand. Anyway, the thing i was refering to in my original post was people being quick to tell people the should never have that oscar in a 20, as oposed to asking if it will be moved to a larger one.

I will again state that i had no idea that anyone would ever respond to that in the thread it was in, let alone start a new thread to discuss it.

P.S. that thing at the bottom about my tanks is incredibly outdated.

Scott I still dont understand if that was directed at me. I wrote that post before i was able to read anyone saying that was about someone else. If it was about someone else then i am very sorry for what i said, understand i was defending myself from what i understood as an attack against me...

I could have sworn ScottS was refering to me as I fail to see the reference to another member that jumps into things. Im not online enough to notice these inside AA things. If this was about me please ignore this post. If not then I am very sorry for assuming that was about me and writing an...

Now where was I? I just got home tonight and discovered this thread full of people talking about what I said. Im not sure how i feel about all this. At my current level of inebriation im am unable to support my previous words very well at all, so please excuse my jumbled reply. I think it fairly...
