I've got two twenty gallon tanks I'd like to sell. One is in displayish condition, the other would make a decent breeder/fry tank. Send me an email with an offer at fish.en.chips@gmail.com if interested. I live uptown, and may be able to deliver if purchased this week.

My cats have a tendency to get into the Goldfish tank and drink the water. Are there any sort of parasites that might cause problems for them? I'm also concerned about the possibility of problems occuring in the event of a cat eating one of the fish. Am I just being paranoid here? What are some...

This is more a story than useful information, but hey.. I'm excited, and I need to put this all somewhere. I had set up a tank for my friend (her first.. ok, I'm not an expert, but better I help than she get her advice from the average PetCo employee), and she had grown more and more excited as...

Skittish Yellow Tang, bold Firefish. Great tankmates, right? Well they were. HOWEVER.. The Yellow Tang is much more interested in the Mysid Shrimp than his food, and eats it all. The Firefish is much more interested in the Emerald Entree than his food, and eats it all.. spitting it back out...

I'm sure this is nothing (ok, I'm not sure), but it worries me since it's so close to the central disc.. http://www.aquariumadvice.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=5915&size=big&password=&sort=1&cat=500 On the right side, there's a missing "scale" on one of his arms, right near the central...

Found one on one of my snails, one similar looking one on the glass, and one that may or may not be the same, but is in a horrible place for picture taking. http://www.aquariumadvice.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=5820&size=big&password=&sort=1&cat=558...

Eesh, it's everything at once isn't it? FW Angels & the Tang decide to stress me out in the course of a few weeks. Great, little fishies, great. ANNNYWAY, my Yellow Tang has a red rimmed mouth, and seems to be breathing a little faster than usual, but I can't really tell. Water is fine (Ammonia...

I've got a 55 gallon tank, four young Angelfish (two will be relocated upon adulthood), and some plants. The plants have some Brush Algae which I have not been able to rid myself of. I've been told that a Siamese Algae Eater will munch this, perhaps not ridding the tank of it, but at least...

I just went to look at the tank, and noticed my Serpent Star having a large snack.. out of one of my Cleaner Shrimp! I noticed the Cleaner Shrimp "fighting" over a piece of krill the other day, but they weren't really touching each other, just snatching the krill away. I gave them each their...

For those of you with similar stock, I have a Serpent Star and several Hermit Crabs (Scarlet Reef; Red Tipped). The Serpent Star moves around the tank at his leisure, luckily for me frequently choosing to rest in the hole of a large donut shaped piece of LR in the center of the tank, where he's...

My roommate had heard me talking about cleaner shrimp the other day, and as he came home from work he decided to pick two up for me. It was so difficult to acclimate them, they kept swimming up to the surface of the water in the bag.. I hated to just pour a new type of water on them.. seemed...

I purchased four young Angelfish (about a quarter in size) for my fifty-five gallon planted tank. They were at the LFS the last time I was there, which was about a week or two ago, and looked healthy, so I figured it was O.K. to purchase them. It's been about a week (maybe five days or so). One...

I purchased a CPR Refugium off of eBay and was told it worked fine. Set it up, and the pump didn't work. I disassembled it, made sure it was clean, etc. Now it "works", but it's very weak, and can't pump water into the refugium. I know very little about refugiums, and feel I'd need a...

I can't upload photos to my gallery. Every time I try, at the "process files" stage, I get a "This page cannot be displayed" error. It's been doing this for about a half hour or so now.

More/less ID.. Was going to take a bath today, and enjoy a nice cup of tea. I got the water started, and the mail arrived. My macro algae had finally shown up! Hurrah! ..Hey.. wait.. what the heck is that? "That", my friends, is a sneaky little isopod stowaway scurrying away behind some LR...

I have some Sunset Hyrgo I'd like to give to a friend, how would I go about this? Do I just pinch it like I would the Hornwort, or is there something else I should know?

Turbo snails + Red Gracilaria & Red Grape algae = Lots of snail poop + no Tang food Is there anything I can do to stop this, short of putting the algae in the refugium or throwing out the snails? For the life of me, I can't think of a thing, but the snails always get to it before the tang...

I was given some very porous rock and told that it had probably been LR at some point, but he couldn't remember if he had used it in his tank or if it had come along with something he bought. It looks remarkably like my Fiji, and is in decent shapes. How do I know if this is made of an...

Has anyone ever tried Breathing Bags? My macro algae just came in them, and they look neat. Do they work?

I have a 55 FOWLR (see sig), with a Yellow Tang. The Tang started out terrified of anyone who would walk into the room with the aquarium in it. He has plenty of hiding spaces, and we've had him for several months now. He's slowly becoming used to us, but still spends most of his time behind the...

I've discovered one small.. item.. that I'm pretty sure is Aiptasia, near the front corner of my aquarium. I'd rather not go to all the trouble of injecting it with things, as it's in the sand. Can I just stick a cup in and remove him and some of the sand? He's still very small, and contrary to...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4328361028&fromMakeTrack=true Has anyone used one of these? My serpent star will currently take food off of a pair of chopsticks, but this seems like it would be easier and would be less likely to involve getting my hands in the tank.

I'm setting up a tank for a friend of mine. She loves fish, and wants to have some very badly, but doesn't want to do any work. She's agreed to do water changes, but has trouble with the feeding, worried she'll feed too much, or forget, or her kids will feed them after they've already been fed...

I purchased some tanks a while back, and they're covered in blue paint on the back (and one on the sides). I went and purchased some razor blades, but it won't come off. It's possible that they sanded the glass before they painted it, or perhaps used a different kind of paint. All the razor...

I recently got a sand sifting star from my LFS. I had purchased a fish from them earlier that had HLLE, so I was extra careful to look at the star and make sure it had all its legs and seemed ok. It did, so I purchased and headed home. I acclimated it over a little more than a couple of hours...
