I bought a rock with some beautiful rhodactis mushroom. One by one they seemed to rot from the middle out. I thought something was attacking them. After around 9 days when all the mushrooms were gone, we took the rock out as we thought there was a worm inside. The rock smelled really bad. So was...

It sounds like one of our English newspaper headlines... but it's true. I bought a lovely rock covered in beautiful green rhodactis and my two cleaner shrimps ate the rhodactics! That's the most expensive fish food I've ever bought! You gotta laugh! Janet

My Bangaii cardinalfish follows my clown fish almost everywhere. Tonight the cardinalfish has been touching its fin (several times) on the bubbles of the anemone while my clownfish is right in the bubbletip. Nothing has happened and I'm puzzled... Why doesn't he get stung? He is not deterred...

Hi There I have had my neon damsel for 8 months and for the last few days he has not been acting normally. He seems to be hiding all the time now. He was very confident and visable in the tank, but for the last few days he seems to be hiding. He usually loses his bright blue colour when he feels...

I have just bought my first tiny zenia. After acclimatizing it, I have put it into my aquarium. How do I anchor it down, or will it do it itself? It's just floating along on the bottom of the tank at the moment. Thanks Janet

I have had my bubbletip anemone and clown fish (bought separately) for just over 3 months... and last night for the first time, the clown fish went into the anemone!! It was fantastic! I was so thrilled. I realise that they might not have ever 'made friends' but they did all this time after I...
