Is it possible to breed copepods at home? I have an empty 10gallon and my brother has a few hundred pods (dont know what species) which he uses to feed his scarlet badis. I was wondering if it was possible to breed these guys.

So basically im doing a project in biology about invertebrates so of course I chose my mantis shrimp as the subject for my project. He's a 4inch purple spot mantis in a 20gal tall. What I want to do is somehow mount my gopro to the aquarium glass so that i can record the mantis. I was hoping to...

I've got a yasha and a candy stripe pistol in my 55g with a firefish and a pair of clowns. The sand bed is caribsea aragonite and is a little over two inches deep. I know the yasha and pistol make a burrow so i dont know if two inches is enough. The sand is pretty course and I was wondering if...

Is this sort of pigmentation normal? He gets nls pellets everyday along with mysis every other day. All paramiters are in check. Sent from my SM-G920V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I currently have 4 of the large orange posos and 5 of the so called "mini" yellows (those max out at about 1.5 inches). Could I add 3 more orange posos and three king sulawesi snails(those get around 3 inches). The tank has two aquaclear 30s, one with bio media and floss and the other with purigen.

I'm planning on purchasing a flame angel for my 55g. To be completely honest, I have never quarantined a fish in my life. I have several fire fish, clowns, and gobies, all of which were never qt'd yet they never got any disease, sickness, or parasite. The reason I'm only exploring this now is...

So I've been looking around online and have gotten really interested in all the different varieties of mushrooms. Before this all I had seen were the dull brown and green ones at my LFS but I've found some pretty cool ones online. I was hoping to put them in with my g. Smithii mantis shrimp. The...

So about two weeks ago I got a white spotted pygmy filefish. Today I come home to see him glued to the intake of my ac110. So I immediately kill the filter and the fish floats to the bottom. He's alive and still breathing despite the fact that he hasn't moved. Should I expect him to pass away or...

So about 4 hours ago I was acclimating my latest shipment from blue zoo aquatics. I put the last fish in about an hour ago. So I finally decide to clean the mess of drip lines and buckets up and as I'm about to pour out about an inch of water from the last bucket into my sink I see a candy...

I have a 55g with a deep blue dual bulb t5 fixture (total of 48w). I saw a colony of 4 of the fire and ice zoanthids for sale for $28 (is this a good price?) And will my lights be sufficient?

So oddly enough my purple spot mantis, who regularly eats clams and shirmp, has taken a liking to hikari crab cuisine. I've fed it a couple of times when I'm too lazy to defrost the frozen seafood. Is feeding prepared pellets bad? It's a 3.5 inch g.Smithii.

So I was curing live rock in a brute trashcan but the salinity was 1025 and I wanted to lower it to 1020 to speed the die off. So. I turned the ro water on and let it start to fill up. Only problem, I forgot to turn it off. So it ran overnight and the trashcan was almost overflowing. The...

I currently have a yellow watchman goby in my 55g. Will a candy cane pistol pair with my YWG? If not, then what species of pistol will pair with him? And would a pistol shrimp harm my tiny pom pom crabs? Sent from my SM-G900V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Is a dual bulb T5HO(48watts) enough lighting to grow zoanthids in a 55g long? Sent from my SM-G900V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I ordered some cured fiji from premium aquatics. I chose the 3 day shipping option. Will there be enough die off in this time that ill need to cycling the rock again? Sent from my SM-G900V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I have a 55g with a dual bulb t5 fixture. I want to add some easy mushroom corals to add some color to my rocks. I have no specific species in mind. Sent from my SM-G900V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

They're at my lfs for $55. I think they were labeled as darwin clownfish but they don't match the results in Google images or any other sites. Is this a fair price? I was thinking about a pair of these for my 20g tall. Sent from my SM-G900V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I know that you can't order directly from them and I don't want to order from live aquaria if I'm only getting one fish. Will they ship a single fish to my lfs? I don't think my lfs has ever had any fish from them. Sent from my SM-G900V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I have a 5 gallon tank with some live rock that I was planning on putting a pom pom crab in but I already have two in my 55g and I'd like to do something different. I've seen a couple of cool Nano lobster setups (as small as 2.5g). Is a 5g too small for a daum's reef lobster? They get about four...

This was a difficult one for me. I've got tons of inverts. Purple spot mantis shrimp, pom pom crabs, emerald, strawberry crabs, camel shrimp, golden coral banded shrimp, electric blue hermit, an urchin and a brittle star. But when I really thought about it my favorite inverts are my zebra...

I have a 55g with a dual bulb t5. One daylight and one acnitic. Is this enough light for a bubble tip anenome (not the red kind). The tank is 18 inches deep. Sent from my SM-G900V using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Has anyone very kept these? I really want one. It says they're reef safe with caution. I don't have corals but will they prey on my smaller inverts? (pom pom crabs). The only fish I have in the tank (55g) are two percula clownfish. Would the file fish bully the sluggish clowns? Sorry for the...

Can I do a deep sand bed using aragonite? It's a lot more coarse than most sand. It's my understanding that there needs to be some live sand to seed the dsb. Would 40lbs of aragonite and 10lbs of caribsea live sand work? It's a 20g tank so I think that's enough sand to get at least four inches...

I've read online that someone was using a mag18 pump to siphon water from a bucket into their tank. Is the pump designed to do this or would it fail eventually? I also want it to siphon water out of my mixing barrel and into buckets. Both applications would require the pump to pump water upwards...
