Look i know many people here either already have dealt with these creatures before , OR currently have them. But as the past 2 days has shown me , i clearly didn't know enough about eels. First off i'll explain i do have a lot of experience with fish , i have enjoyed a fish tank since i was...

As with anything in the clean up crew it all comes down to some level of risk. Recall your building a system that is designed to mimic the life of the coral reef or a shoal with larger fish or maybe a just one of those small tide pools that has a one fish and some coral in it ( a micro tank)...

well as this is a 10 gallon tank , the first problem would be space. I imagine you think that both have 5 gallons and both are small. However these types of fish are very aggressive and take apart of the tank as there own. So say that damsel has said it wants 9 of the 10 gallons of the tank...

how long should i wait before confirming death? like is it possible for this fish to be hiding in the rock for longer then 4 days ?

So the other day i did a slightly larger water change , which had some results of dropping some rocks , after moving them back into position , noticed the day after both my clownfish were acting extremely weird. One was almost life less at the top of the tank , the other hiding at the bottom...

Most likely what happened was there was a cycle during the large change of rock/sand/water to the tank you had. A shame it happened , however to continue moving on from where your at. 1)get rid of anything dead in the tank 2)give all the rock a good blasting with a powerhead , i'd also...

I haven't had one of these fish before , however from what i know about them , suggests that they would be hard to put in a smaller tank as they might try to eat anything that can fit into its mouth. Hence you would need to find fish that are larger then it. 40 gallons would mean you could...

It can also suggest there is something stressing your shrimp out. What else is in the tank with it? What are the water parms? How big is the tank?

get a non metal scrub brush and use some water and goto town , even if you take the thing to a local "do it yourself" car wash and use the pressure washer they have there. IF you use any cleaning products you will have to do an extremely good job of getting the products out of the tank.. a...

Ah well i guess that would help. Am about 10 minutes away from niagara falls on the canadian side. Currently i do not have the ability to cross the border, as i have niether passport or nexus

So i've been trying to unload this tank for a few months now , its just to big for my needs, plus i have a 30-40 gallon hexagon tank that just fits the space i have perfectly. Tank is a marineland , has some white tape left on it when i took the background off.. however it does come off...

i am going to take that advice. However i do want to fill out the tank , things like the emerald crab are interesting to watch , but would adding an arrow crab to the mix work ? or maybe an anemoie(spelling lol) , again i'm not really sure what would be best for me.

Ah well i'm not going to just dump in all the fish and everything at once. Figured the big plan would be to purchase a new light so i can actually get some corals. After the light i throw in a few more crabs/snails and maybe something like a sea slug or something. Then maybe a month from...

So my tank has been running for a while now , it already has some stuff in it List -1 fighting conch -1 cleaner shrimp -1 emerald crab -2 clown fish -1 orange spotted goby -1 brittle starfish -4 snails -4 hermit crabs -A frogspawn with 3 heads , a little bit of pulsing xenia , coral broke when i...

eh don't feel bad , i don't that they are ripping off , but rather charging for something that is harder to find in your more local area. I know my local pet store use to sell salt water fish and some corals , but since gave that up about 6 months before i started my tank. The few things that...

such a hard question to truly answer as each fish reacts different to any other fish. But a good rule of thumb would be to only keep fish of similar size to the lionfish (at full size) in the tank. Example being if the lionfish grows to 5 inches , (not sure exactly how big it gets) don't put...

yah stock lights will not keep anything alive , those mushrooms will shrink up on transport home , and not do any better without some good light.

Another story for you , Started a 10 gallon tank about 6 months ago , was my first tank and set it up with tap water and used tap water for top ups for the first 2 months. Had purchased a cheap 20 dollar test kit which were strips , again i didn't know any better and the readings were always...

Another option is to goto a local art supply store like Micheals. They usually sell sea shells for 5 bucks or less. (have to make sure they are real however) Got about 2 dozen random small shells for 2 bucks. Went home took the ones that hermits would use out of the 2 dozen , ended up with...
