Has anyone ever seen/heard of these before? I cannot find any information or pictures online anywhere.

Can/will a chocolate chip sea star go after inverts such as hermits, peppermint shrimp, or emerald crabs if it is well fed?

I talked a little while ago about putting a crayfish in with my red claw crabs, but now an idea has sparked in my mind. What if I put a divider in the tank and kept the cray on one side with the crabs and ghost shrimp on the other?

What are some easy low light plants? I already have: Java moss Anubius nana Jungle vallisneria Amazon sword Broad leaf bolbitis Cryptocorne wendtii Cryptocorne parva

I really like electric blue crayfish, and I'd be interested in getting one, but I'm afraid it would kill everything in my tanks. My options of where to put it are: - a 56 gallon full of fish, plants, shrimp, and snails (no way :lol:) - a semi aquatic 20 gallon tank with red claw crabs; it has...

Hey all. Looking for one more really weird and unique fish to add to my 56 gallon. It can be anything, really (not African butterflyfish though), but it needs to get along with the following stock: Mixed rainbowfish species (boesemani, neon dwarf, turquoise, etc) A small angelfish Neon tetras...

So I was going to convert my 20 gallon freshwater tank into a saltwater invertebrate tank, but it seems like that isn't happening. Another idea I have is to do a semi-aquatic crab tank! I've kept fiddler crabs in the past but once their life span ran out I couldn't get any more, sadly they're...

I started a thread about a 20 gallon tank I was starting for all different inverts only (just crabs, shrimp and stuff like that no fish or coral), but now I'm rethinking it and I do want some fish. Would this stock work? 1 ocellaris clownfish 1 blue damselfish 1 green chromis 4 blue leg...

I got a peacock eel not too long ago, it's about 4 1/2 inches long. I see it picking at scraps in the sand sometimes, but it won't eat anything I try to feed it. I've tried flakes (didn't think this would work), mini pellets, brine shrimp, and blood worms, and he just looks at it and watches as...

Hi. I live in Ontario, and pretty near me there is a beautiful turquoise pond hidden away in a forest where there are big (like 3-4 inch long) gold mussels or clams or something. Could I put one in my tropical tank?

This is kind of a dumb question but how do you transport live rock from the store to your tank? The closest store to me that has it is almost an hour away. And can I start a tank with all dry rock and a bit of live rock and eventually the dry rock will become live? I don't want to get a ton of...

Not too long ago I started a thread about a small little 3 gallon tank for hermit crabs only, but I have a spare 10 gallon tank and I want to do an invertebrate tank. Some inverts I'm interested in are: - blue leg hermit crabs (must) - scarlet hermit crabs (must) - zebra hermit crabs - emerald...

I'm looking for any rarer species of rainbows. Specifically I'm interested in aru ii (melanotaenia aru ii), golden (melanotaenia dekai), pygmy (melanotaenia pygmaea), and millenium (glossolepis pseudoincisus), but any species is welcome. Here is a list of species I already own and am not...

Hi, I really like little tiny hermit crabs like blue legs, red legs, and zebras, and I kinda want to start up a little tank just with hermit crabs. I don't know where to start though. What size tank would I need? I would only want maybe 3 or 4 crabs. Would I need a lot of live rock? I'm fine...

What is everyone's favourite group of freshwater fish?

Anyone out there have rare rainbow species? I have 17 species and I was just wondering if there are any other rainbow enthusiasts with some rarer species. The 17 I have are: Boesemani Neon dwarf Turquoise Red Irian West Australian East Australian Lake Tebera Parckinsoni North New Guinea...

I want my rainbows to breed but I'm not sure how to do it. I have 16 species but only 3 with both genders. My options would be to breed boesemanis, neon dwarfs, or eastern Australians. I'd prefer to breed the neon dwarfs if it makes a difference.

Hey, I was wondering if I could add 1 or 2 American flagfish to my 56 gallon mixed rainbowfish community to help with hair algae. I love rainbows, so I have all these species: Boesemani Neon dwarf Turquoise Red Irian West Australian East Australian New Guinea orange Lake Tebera Parckinsoni...

I have a 56 gallon tropical community tank with mostly rainbowfish, and I was wondering if I could put the tiny little schooling minnows I find in the lake near me in the tank. I live in Ontario, so the water here is pretty cold.

Has anyone here ever heard of a montezuma swordtail? They look really cool their tails get VERY long.

I'm doing a science project and I'm using hornwort for the experiment. I have read that hornwort does not need heated water but does it need a filter?

I've always wondered why in saltwater, stocking must be much lower than freshwater. For example, in a 50 gallon freshwater tank you could get a big school of fish, a group of larger fish, a centrepeice, and just a ton, but in saltwater you could only get like 5 or 6 small fish. Does anyone know...

Has anyone ever kept these? I read that they're freshwater and completely aquatic, but I wouldn't want it killing all of my fish.

Could anyone give me an estimate on how much this tank would cost to put up? It would probably be a 10 or 20 gallon tank (I know, larger tanks are easier) and I wouldn't really care about lighting etc. For livestock I would probably want to do something like this: 2 ocellaris clownfish 8 blue...

Anyone ever have aggressive cichlids with peaceful fish? I was just wondering because the lfs gave me a free electric yellow lab a few days ago and it hasn't touched my neon tetras. I'm going to try a cherry red cichlid and an ice blue zebra cichlid next.
