    Dead fish. Was told it was from over feeding. was told guts were puked out

    Ok here's one. My GF works at a pet store. One of the puffers died. The shit manager said it was because she overfed it. The shift manager said the fish was found dead with its guts hanging out of its mouth. For what its worth the manager is far from a fish expert. I've searched around. It's...

    Marine feeders

    I've been told that freshwater live feeders are not good for saltwater creatures. From what I gather its the lack of certain nutrients in the fish. Nobody in the area ..or probably anywhere really sells live saltwater feeders. Closest thing I've found are brackish mollys but i don't know for...

    Mechanical filtration and its place in my personal aquarium

    As far as aquarium keepers go I'm pretty anti mechanical filtration. I know diamond clear particle free water isn't the optimum condition for aquarium health. After running 6 months ..even for me..I felt there was just a bit too much stuff floating around in my water. So I began debate what sort...

    No idea what these are. Maybe you can help me.

    I found these cropped up on a piece of bleached coral my mother got me from her vacation. It since has taken on coraline algae and a few sponges that are prolific in my tank. However today I noticed these things. No clue what they are. Pictures courtesy of Canon and Ziplock.

    Moorish Idol research. Gimme everything tid bit of information you have!

    I've done some pretty extensive research on my own. I don't care much to hear..don't do it..or no. If I ever listened to that I'd not have learned or accomplished as much as I have. I understand many of the issues and possible out comes. Those of you who know me at all understand how I am...

    I'm now must admit..I'm an addict. No longer can I deni it.

    I filled out an application at my local petco for part time help. Sure some extra pocket change is nice but honestly I make like 3x more working overtime at my regular job and I'm working 60hrs this week so my only excuse really is to work with fish more and learn more. I know the manager pretty...

    Feeding you fish. I personally agree with what this article puts out.

    https://www.livingreefs.com/feeding-basic-concepts-moderate-advance-t499.html I very much agree with the driving point of this article being basicly most everyone is feeding their fish in a very unnatural manor. I know its a long read. but here is the sum of it. We don't feed our fish enough...

    Anyone ever use a programmable "basic stamp" for aquarium?

    I'm just curious if anyone knows if this has been done. They are fully programmable with 16 inputs/outputs. You can wire in thermocouples, liquid level sensors(neat "etape"), and program it. You need a little electrical aptitude and a very basic programming aptitude. Just curious if anyone has...

    My experience with Mandarins and a particularly picky new addition

    Well as some of you know I have 3 mandarins and a scooter Blenny. While I'm certainly no expert on them I do have quite a few and I spend embarrassingly long periods of time watching my tank. So I figured maybe finding this interesting feeding with my new mandarin I'd share anything first hand...

    Amphipod and copepod pictures

    These are the best pictures i've managed to date. all pictures were taken in macro mode no more than 1/2" from the lens(the thickness of my glass is aprox 1/2"). copepods are tiny tiny little buggers I was happy to see then even showed up at all. I'll add isopod when I clean my screen in the...

    Well I was digging around in my tank and disturbed a spot that apparently my clown had been apparently trying to be hosted by. I thought it was odd he always darted behind the rocks when he ate but didn't think much of it. Well when I was arranging thing I found the spot and there was a ton of...

    Too many worms?

    I'm as of yet still of the belief that bristle worms are relatively harmless and are in fact very fantastic clean up crew...BUT..when I feed its like my rocks just come alive sometimes. Its pretty close to creepy. Yet I guess sorta ok with it seeing as they snap up any piece of food that finds a...
