thanks I found IBC but I cannot figure out if you have to pay or not to look at the forums or if there are no open threads atm

so for the last week and a half I have been looking for a place that I could buy some Betta Imbellis also known as the crescent betta, peacock betta or peaceful betta but, I cannot find a single one for sale aquabid has non, all of my LFS nearby don't even know what a Betta Imbellis is or refuse...

Your tank is over stocked i would suggest buying a second filter to help handle the bioload and do a 30% pwc weekly or get rid of some fish.

I usually do not trust LFS's because they will usually mark fish as one sex when it is the other. So I would find out how to tell the gender of each species platies are easy fish to sex. as of ur danios if you get a school of fish (5 or more) you will probably get variety of sexes as danios not...

yes so his fish prolly won't stunt but will be constantly running into eachother

I suggest a bristle nose Pleco for cleaning everyone needs a pleco

You may want to be careful with a third clown because the two that are paired may and usually do gang up on the third one. So I would suggest to return the third and get a few chromis or, you could split the tank with a tank divider and add another clown for the third to make two different pairs

I would say one or two small fish like another clown and another chromis or two more chromis and then you will be Maxed out on fish if u want to have a full reef and a good CUC.

Pajama Cardinals are best kept in shoaling groups and may be a bit nervous by themselves without other pajama cardinals around, plus you already are on the overstocked side of SW tanks so I would just get the shrimp and if you want a CUC I would suggest sticking to snails. Welcome to AA by the way!

Oh ya almost forgot for any new sea horsers I would suggest the Hippocampus Erectus sea horse, common names are lined sea horse and Erectus sea horse because they are relatively small fully grown about (6 inches) and are very hardy sea horse wise

I strongly suggest to NOT feed them Brine shrimp because brine shrimp have little to no nutritional value (depends if the brine shrimp is enriched or not) causing the seahorse to slowly starve but in you case because you are feeding them with other foods the sea horses should be fine but I would...

K thanks I didn't think a clown fish pair would work in a 30 gallon with an anemone but i was maybe thinking brackish also do you think a fish like 2 piranha's maybe i already have a pair of clownfish with an anemone in my reef it is a bta and yes I do know that Piranhas can grow up to 12" but...

Hi I was wondering what I should do with my 30 gallon that is laying around and btw I currently have a reef tank (with a 30 gallon sump), a gourami tank (20 gallon sump), a 16 gallon Biorb community , a 16 gallon biorb for my precious 40 some baby platies, a betta home and 4 extra square feet in...

the bristle worm I had gotten on my lr was huge it must had grown for a month or two after I got my lr and it must of ben pretty big before hand, I'm just suprised I didn't notice it until a bit ago

ya it is fine if snails are out of the water I have bubble snails, turbo snails, cerith snails and in another tank some sea slugs and all of them love to get out of the water. No it is not bad water quality it is just they don't know any better so they will look for food in creative places if...

I'm planning on making a reef tank and I know that some corals do better in some kinds of light than others and I'm looking at T5 lights for my 75 gallon will this work for most corals?

ya I'm trying to get rid of hitchhikers from a lfs if there are any but I want to make sure I don't get another unwanted "free" bristleworm

I'm planning on setting up another reef tank and I was wondering if there was a way to clean live rock without destroying the helpful bacteria. Also I have heard washing it off or drying it out to get rid of hitchhikers will either work?

thanks for all of your input I have barely worked with coral before but I am ok with triggers and terrific with most freshwater fish

what fish then should I get then everybody keeps saying that a fish is safe for reefs then others say that fish is bad. I know triggers and their relatives are bad for reefs and some others but, in my 150 gal I have some fish of the same species like blennies, and usually one or two of the "reef...

oh and I'm leaning away from anemones cus they may get at any corals

I'm planning on putting percula clownfish or false clownfish in a old 75 gallon from the basement that I'm cleaning out to turn into a small reef tank and I was wondering what corals clownfish will host , what fish/coral will go with them without conflict and how many clownfish I could have in...
