My tank is about 2 1/2 months old, and my deep sand bed is about 4". Thanks again for the advice :).

Hey Schism, thanks for the response! Could it possibly be hydrogen sulfide pockets? Also, is it okay to stir up the sand bed every once in a while?

Could someone please help me figure out what the black dots in the sandbed are along with the hair-like things? Are these bad?

thanks Terrance. Something I should keep in mind :)

Same, it was an awful experience. My first tank went poorly from the start. The entire tank smelled like hydrogen sulfide. Needless to say, I tore that tank down. Luckily none of the fish I had in it died :).

Thanks for the overwhelming responses guys. I have since found these GSP a new home. I wish I could've kept them, but my tank was too small at the time. Also, it was cycling :(. They're relatively hardy fish though. I've had green spotted puffers before that did really well until I gave them...

Yeah :(. With the help of some of the people in live chat, I believe it maybe an internal parasites. I believe brooklynella takes over very rapidly. How long has your clown's illness been developing? I can't tell if it's brooklynella, but if it is, you maybe able to treat with 37% formalin...

Here is a picture of my clownfish: I was wondering if it had brooklynella disease. It's been breathing hard. Swimming against the corner of the tank. It hasn't eaten. It seems like it wants to. It even goes after the food, but doesn't seem to eat anything. I initially thought it was hosting...

Tremendous help as usual, thank you peeps :)

Hi Guys, I recently did a 27g saltwater FOWLR tank. I put in two clowns earlier this week which have been doing fantastically. Today, I went to the LFS and decided to get another fish, the last one for my tank. The fish I wanted was not available, so I went around the store looking at the...

Oh, to answer your other question, 3/4 of an inch.

15g (temporary). I believe you maybe right, sigh.... :( Should i take him back? I was really looking for dwarf puffers, but the person I spoke to told me I could keep these for a few months. I plan on giving them an owner of a larger tank later on down the line.

It was freshwater HN1

I realized this fact, too, so I invested in a test-kit fairly recently. It was a green spotted puffer HN1. I believe you can treat them as freshwater fish when young. I could be very wrong though. It was not thoroughly cycled. I just assumed that good tests meant ready to go :(. Sigh.....

I recently put in two new puffers into my brand new tank. I had a water test just before getting the puffers. The person working there said my nitrate, ph, nitrite, ammonia levels were good. I'm kind of anxious about it dying. The other one is doing pretty well so it seems.
