    Black Crab with hairy stripy legs with yellow tips

    I had 4 fish deaths recently all Blue-Green Chromis. I have only one left.

    I think my fish have/had Ich or fin rot

    My Royal grammar and chalk white goby had torn and ragged fins the other week, In a couple of days both were fully healed and they continue to eat well, even the chalk white goby has actually learnt to eat the dried granule fish food. Was it fin rot? Will it happen again? My Royal Grammar...

    Fish keep hiding/retreating

    Chromis, royal grammer and a goby, started with the royal grammer 4 weeks ago and then weekly additions with the rest. Have an emerald crab anda peppermint shrimp for about 5 months, nothing bothers the crab, but the shrimp hides.

    Fish keep hiding/retreating

    So far I have found that when I walk past the tank even 10ft away, All the fish retreat into the rock, especially when I go to feed them. I don't want to keep stressing them out I'm even creeping past the tank now(doesn't work). How do I tame fish?

    Sand shifting starfish climbing tank glass

    Digitate Hydroids

    i take the rocks out, then burn the hydriods off with a candle lighter or blowtorch. thatway you don't harm the rest of the stuff.

    Sand shifting starfish climbing tank glass

    temp is 24C. what you say would explain its attempts to scale the glass, its after the "microfauna" currently there. I'll see about sending him back. I have not seen sand shifting starfish food sold in my LFS, I'd be interested to know how they keep theirs alive. (8 in one 60g display only...
