My new heniochus black and white butterflyfish and yellow tang are fighting. Since the lights went off they haven't fought, but I'm sure when the lights come on the war will be on.. I've been told a few suggestions (moving rocks, adding a mirror, dark period) just looking for more suggestions...

I got a lionfish a few months ago, and now I'm questioning if it's male or female? Some places said if it has 6 or less stripes it's a female 6 or more and it's male. Mine either has 6 or 7, I don't know if I should include the one right close to his face.

I got some live rock from a fellow reefer, and I got some little start fish with it. 6 legs, white. Also some slime which I'm thinking maybe a sponge? 40 gallon cichlid tank; Pseudotropheus socolofi (albino) x 1 Labidochromis caeruleus x 1 Metriaclima greshakei x 2 Amatitlania...

Hey guys! I got some new coral frags. After a fellow reefer heard of my tank crash he gave me some coral and a little crab (cutest thing ever). 40 gallon cichlid tank; Pseudotropheus socolofi (albino) x 1 Labidochromis caeruleus x 1 Metriaclima greshakei x 2 Amatitlania nigrofasciata...

Hey guys. Now that I'm over the devastation of losing almost all my tank I want answers. My 2 clowns and yellow eyed kole tang died. I left for one day, came home to them dead. Tested the water and everything was normal except ammonia was at .06. But with three dead fish that's expected. The...

The light one has a light body. And the dark one has a dark body. (Maybe that's an obvious thing?) 40 gallon cichlid tank; Pseudotropheus socolofi (albino) x 1 Labidochromis caeruleus x 1 Metriaclima greshakei x 2 Amatitlania nigrofasciata x 20 Pseudotropheus crabro x 1 6" pleco x 1

So I went to go purchase 2 clown fish from an online ad. The tank was nasty, very undermaintained, and just bad looking. Anyways, there was a hippo tang that looked rough, I couldn't not get it! It's 6-7 inches, and has what I believe to be HLLE. I'm no expert so I need help! I want to save this...

On a piece of my live rock there is a red... Thing that looks like a sponge but it's hard and crumbles if you scratch it. It was just the one piece but now there's tiny little dots of it all under the same rock. Anyone have any ideas? It looks fleshy, but it isn't.

My tanks almost brand new; just finished it's cycle a week ago. It has base rock, and 1 3 pound piece of live rock (I was just hoping for hitchhikers). 120 gallons, with about a 30 gallon sump. I found some tiny white worms (maybe not worms) in my sump. There a perfect spiral. What are...

I bought 3 little hermit crabs. The biggest one has a barnacle on his shell. How can I tell if it's still alive?

When I got my live rock I noticed these white strings, I thought if they were something living that they were dead. They don't move. But now I noticed my "dead" rock has them too! The "dead" rock came out of my fw tank, the white things are smaller on that rock, but they seem to be all over it...

120 gallon display tank, 50 gallon sump. I've had nothing but problems with my plumbing, first it would leak, and then it blew apart on me.. Now I went back to the hardware store and the guy got me to use 1" clear tubing, some connections, a ball valve and clamps. Finally got it to not leak...

Hey guys! Monday we goto the city to get the rest of my aquarium stuff. And now I'm reeeeally thinking of what fish to get (this 4+ weeks is gonna be sooooo slow). It's a 120gallon (48 x 24 x 24), with a 50 gallon sump (I don't actually know how many gallons will be in the sump once it gets...

I started hatching my own brine shrimp... Everyone said I'd have no luck actually raising them, but so far there all growing good. Supposedly adults have no nutritional value for fry or adult fish.. Number one is this actually true? Number two to freeze them could I just suck them up, put them...

My bulkheads can spin.. When I was putting my plumbing together the one got stuck (I was testing it before glueing it), and when I went to wiggle it out I noticed the whole bulkhead will spin... Does this mean they need replaced? Or are they still sealed (I don't know anything about bulkheads...)

Can anyone tell me if this powerhead is fully submersible. It has a thing that makes it look like it's supposed to hang or something. . Anyway to tell what brand it is? All the stickers are ripped off.

I've been over feeding my mbuna fry... It's really hard not to do. So I was wondering if there is a safe fish I can put in with them who will eat the left overs. They'll be put in the main tank or sold around 1". So I'm not concerned about bullying, and when I put the mom in there she will have...

Has anyone used a shop light on there fish tank? Mostly the fixture, I can get 48" bulbs that I think will fit the fixture from my LFS... I'm not planning on coral anytime soon, and at less then $50 I can replace it later on when I have the money to do so..

I just bought a 128 gallon tank with a 50 gallon sump tank. It's drilled for an over flow. But I don't know how any of this works. What do I need? It came with two big powerheads...

Sunday I go and pick up 120 gallon tank. I've decided forsure this one is going salt water. What's a good lighting system for FOWLR? (Don't want something super expensive) It comes with some power heads, not sure how many, but how many would you recommend? It's 4x2x2. I'm assuming a...

I built and egg tumbler, and I was just wondering if it looks like it'll work? How can I test it?

I've been trying soooo hard to make my ice blue's to spawn. They've been courting and showing the proper behaviour, I left for a few nights and when I came home my female was missing. I looked high and low, fed them, everything to convince her to come out and nothing. I got a little worried so...

I just picked these babies up from the local LFS in the assorted tank. The orange and black one I really wanted, but the other yellow one was supposed to be a different one that I thought was a Kenya or a bumblee. But when I looked in the bag this is what I got.... Any suggestions?

There is a fish in a mixed african cichlid tank at my local LFS. He's orange with black patches. I know I've seen them somewhere but can't think of the name. I'd really like to get a pure one, anyone got an id?

So I bought 2 snails when I had my puffer. They were supposed to breed but never did. And I never really thought anything about them again. So when I took down my 30 gallon I just put them in my cichlid tank. There's only one left. Well now I feel bad. Because he never comes out of his shell...
