My clowns didn't want to have anything to do with my cleaner shirmp for a while, then one day i looked in the tank and one of them was right up next to one and you could see the cleaner trying to get those white cotton ball thingies off of him. You could tell it hurt him, cause he would jerk...

Thank you so much Steve, i really appreciate all of your help. we will do the water changes, and get some vitamins for them. I have been adding garlic to their food, i feed them Spectrum Thera A by New Life and some frozen brime shrimp as well as flakes, and krill. We also feed the tank...

sorry, another question...how do you test your DOC? Is there a test? or am i already testing for it and just don't know that it is a DOC? :roll: Thanks again, Mary

Steve, here is a close up of the other picture, it does look like he has a cotton ball in his mouth. He is eating just fine, but i have notice him nipping at the other clown every once in a while. They aren'tshy or seem stressed (at least not visbuly other than the spots). One of the things...

sorry about the double picture (my first time attaching a picture :lol: ) how do i take one off?

I do not see any red spots either. TIA

Steve it doesn't say what is the active ingredient, just says: oxybispropanol (as an inert solubilb izing agent), <5% praziquantel by weight. a web address on it say: www.hikariusa.com Here are two pictures of the clowns.

Hello, i got a couple of black and white clowns from my LFS, never had a problem with anything that i have bought from him before, but about a week later, started to see little white dots on one of the fish, thought it was ick, and decided to get some cleaner shrimp, just in case. (These are...

This is just a suggestion (and someone, if you know any better, please jump in here), but I would get a couple of cleaner shirmps or wrasses to help get the ick off the fish. They are not known to live very long so don't be surprised if they die after the ick is gone but they will clean it off...

I had a blue, yellow and purple in my tank. I got the blue first, then the yellow then the purple. My yellow and purple were okay with each other but my blue tang went after the purple. Had to put a glass up in the tank for about a week till they got used to each other. After that they were...

well, i didn't have mine in a small tank but i had two clakii clowns that i bought together and kept for about a year. They were fine.....until the day the LFS told me that they would share an anemone. So i bought one. they fought over that thing so much i had to take one of them back to the...

we had a dwarf lionfish and he would eat out of our hand. Never had a problem with him and was never scared to put my hand in the tank. you just have to know where he is and don't forget that you could accidently hit him and startle them enough that you might get stung. Our's only lived about...

with the DSB, are you supposed to get critters to stir up the sand or not? I thought it was bad to do this. We just changed to the DSB and if i need to get some sand shifters, please let me know, I don't want to do it wrong. Thanks!!

We just got done doing this also. After losing all of our fish, we still are not sure how, we decided to just go ahead and do the whole tank. We used 80# of aragaronite sand, 50# of live sand and 100# of play sand. We had to take everything out of the tank to get to the cc, so we put all of...

Thanks! we will have to try that when we are ready to add fish back into our tank.

Can someone explain how to do this drip method. We always just float the bag and add a little water over the course of a few hours. thanks!!

I got some cleaner wrasses from them once, but that is it. They came find and lived longer than the ones i had bought before at the LFS. I did have to buy 6 at a time though but this was over a year ago. I have bought dry goods from Marine Depot several times before and never had a problem...

I would try cutting back on how long you are leaving your lights on for. 12 hours of full brightness is a lot for a small tank. Can you cycle your lights, so that the main lights (most powerful) come on during the time that you are home so you can enjoy the tank and keep softer lights for the...

Ok! How about someone else takes my place, while i go back and read who everyone else has already done. I don't want to repeat anyone, that would be too easy. I don't want to hold anyone up!! So someone else post one.......please.... :n00b: :lol:

The Pub, Boston and politic's = Sam Adams.....of course, it being my hubby's favorite beer doesn't hurt. 8O Actually, i thought i was wrong cause it seemed to obvious. :wink: Ok, i am new here, so do i get a prize?? :fadein: :mrgreen: :lol:

well little did i know that we *did* have a sea cucumber in our tank (we can't find him now and that wasn't what he was called when we got him, but that is what he is). So we think he must have died and released a toxin in the water that killed every one of our fish, or at least that is what...

We had a Coral Beauty and had to take him back to the store, cause he was eating our corals, which we were told they wouldn't do. It was a mess too, cause we had to take a lot of the rock out just to catch him. If you are doing reefs, then i would be cautious. BTW, your tank looks great...

Samual Adams ??? Just guessing, lol

No sea cucumber or sea apple. As far as ventilation, my back door was part way open, of course that is right next to the tank. We did do some cleaning in the family room where the tank is, so furniture polish - yes (but we have done this like a thousand times before) and glass cleaner - no not...

Whew!! that's a relief! I have been sick thinking i killed them.....well, still no idea then. Thanks for your help!!
