    What do you think about my current clown situation?

    Its a joke, ever seen how messed up fish look sometimes at petco? Reason why its best to buy from family owned businesses instead (most of the time...).

    We have many of those threads, there in the petco section.

    Can you help ID this fish?

    And already as my learning experience, I learned a little bit about collecting wild caught specimens. Anyway, Its definitly a wrasse of some kind, its not an adorned wrasse because the spots are on the body not the fins... could still be a type of adorned wrasse as they look very similar.

    Mantis ID?

    Today I just got another little mantis (like the size of a quarter) and the lfs never told me the exact species nor do I see it on roy's list... Sorry I can't get a picture she tucked herself in a rock pretty good and in a container submerged in my tank making matters worse.. Description...

    What do you think about my current clown situation?

    My bad, I've been going around looking for threads that had 0 replies trying to help not relizing the dates :becky:. But no matter, before I joined the forum I always watched the threads so it still helps to answer questions for future generations to see.

    Can you help ID this fish?

    Nah don't worry, we all just still learning here. Even the marine biolost who've been working with these animals don't know a fraction of whats really out there its so diverse. Speaking of when you first started... my setup when I first started after my first mantis shrimp was a 2 gallon with a...

    What do you think about my current clown situation?

    Nemo can never be trusted can he! :heh:, Also wouldn't nemo's dad really be his mother since they change?... its a strange thought.. But anyway they can be troublesome sometimes with some situations.

    Can you help ID this fish?

    JMO, I'm just pointing out what I know to the best of my knowledge whether its enough if not. Not lecturing its JMO, we all have different experiences which is what the forums are amazing for to provide as much education as possible instead of a single lfs or website telling you what to do and...

    Can you help ID this fish?

    It is a wrasse of some kind. Theres a couple of things I see wrong here.. 1. Bringing home a fish you know nothing about 2. Taking wildstock from their natural habitat yourself and Idk if it was legal or not in that area. Sure it's collector's jobs to capture these animals but when the...

    What do you think about my current clown situation?

    First of all, your tank before AND after the upgrade is too small.. I wouldn't put a clown in anything smaller than a standard size 20 and a 30 for a group. When clownfish are born, they are all born as males. When they start a colony the bigger, more aggressive clown will become crowned queen...

    Aquarium leaking?

    So basicly when leaking happens take all the water out, take the fish and corals out, reseal it for however long, and then refill it up? Also I think weldon is a chemical that melts the acrylic together creating one piece. Yeah I have a 30 gallon peacock mantis tank and its a sea clear...

    clowns trying to host in feather duster?

    Anemone fish often can't tell the difference between a coral, anemone, rock, fan worm, etc.. seriously I seen them host fake sps corals in the lfs. One thing about fan worms is they will attract attention to some animals to go near it as when stuff passes by they retract making the curious...

    Salt Mix Parmeters vs Tank Parameters

    I would only use instant ocean brand salt mix as not only does it mix faster and it's natural.. it also contains other elements most salt mixes don't have.

    Aquarium leaking?

    My mom's cousen owned an LFS for a long time. (which closed many years ago... before I was born) and he had a 125 gallon in his home. He said he got rid of the 125 because it began to leak and never bothered to setup another... This gets me wondering... Will saltwater aquariums really "expire"...

He has white on the both sides of his tail now... thats the only color difference.. I've seen this on alot of peacocks but never on any small ones so I'm...

    Hosting clown fish with anemones

    Ocellarius will host the condylactus anem eventually... condylactus anem will NEVER host the clownfish long term.. Condylactus is known to open its big mouth and swallow up a clown.. just because clowns are immune to a sting doesn't mean they can't be swallowed, other anemones just know better...

    Harlequin shrimp compatibility?

    That ain't going to last long... they can clear thousands and thousands in a few months I heard.. Anyway I think I made my decision! :whoo:I'm going to do a 6.6 mini reef. It will contain star polyps, yellow colony polyps, and ricordae shrooms! (thats if they will thrive under this light...

    Upside-down jellyfish shrinking?

    I have 2 upside down jellydown. I bought them at penny size, they grew to quater size.. then all of a sudden one went back to penny size and the other is half a penny... I do not notice a decrease in in tentacles or slower rate of pulsing (they pulse against the bottom once every second). Water...

    Best place for live rock?

    Is it me, or do I sound crazy by saying I actually want those pest :crazy: I would love to get mantis, teddy crabs, asterina, microbrittle and lots more! One thing I love about the ocean is the ammount of life to discover, and using fake decor or rock without hitchhikers kinda takes away from it...
