    Can ick just happen?

    The last fish introduced was my maroon clown that was about 3 months or so ago. I can't get a pic. The camera I have wont capture it. Maybe I could borrow one??? Is there any way that I could find out what it is? I just dont know what my next step should be. I would think that the first fish...

    Porcupine Puffer Only Eats Live Food

    Hey welcome! My puffer didnt want to eat either. What I did was I waited until night time when it was darker. I shut off the tank lights but kept the room lights on. They seem to "hunt" at night. Then I dropped a piece of krill in front of him. For a few days he ignored it. But after...

    Can ick just happen?

    I have a 110 gal fish only tank right now. I have a porcupine puffer, a maroon clown, and a cuban hogfish. All seem healthy. I do 10% water changes every 5 - 7 days even though I only have 3 fish. I only use RODI water. My question is can ick just appear even though I havent added any fish...

    Fish compatability?

    Wow. I feel kinda dumb because I should have known these things. Thanks for your help with this and with the clam issue I had for my puffer. You have been very helpful. I will hold off for now on. I already bought the clown but that will be it for me. I will get a larger tank in the future...

    Fish compatability?

    Youre right. My tank is only 4 feet long. Because of your advise Im gonna pass on the Tang. Do you think that I have reached the limit on the amount of fish I should have? I do weekly water changes and so far everything seems to be OK. My No3 levels arent perfect but they are not high. My...

    Fish compatability?

    I currently have a porcupine puffer, cuban hog fish, and a dragon wrasse. I have a 110 gal tank. I just went to the LFS and put a large maroon clown and a yellow tang on hold. Although I have compatability charts and it seems like they'll be OK, I was wondering what all of you thougt. Thanks

    Porcupine Puffer question

    Thanks for all of your help. I really appreciate it! They didnt have them desplayed at all. I asked if they had any live clams and they said that they did in the "back". They asked how many I wanted and brought them out for me. They must have been on ice becuase they were cold but thats all...

    Porcupine Puffer question

    So I shouldnt just cut one open and assume it was alive and then feed it to him right? Other than the clam opening up by himeself, is there another way of knowing if its alive or not?

    Porcupine Puffer question

    OK I went out and bought 5 clams. They only had large ones about 3 - 3.5 inches wide. I figure I'll feed him every other day. However I ran into a problem, I cant get that sucker open with out destroying it! How do you guys do it?

    Porcupine Puffer question

    Thanks guys. Great advise as always! Im gonna go to the store and buy some clams and do as you guys advised. My puffer is a smaller puffer. Its about 3.5 - 4 inches long. So I should feed it a clam a day then? And try to "convince" it to eat the krill (frozen or freeze dried) ?

    Porcupine Puffer question

    Thanks everyone! Do I freeze the clams when I buy them or do I just put them in the refrigerator? How many do I gigive him and how often? Should I still try to feed him the krill? How often? Sorry so many questions

    Porcupine Puffer question

    Im prob gonna sound really dumb but will they (local market) know what I want when I say "bay area clams?" How often do I give him a clam? This is prob another really dumb question but do they come in different sizes?

    Porcupine Puffer question

    I bought a Porcupine Puffer last week and it has quickly become my favorite fish. He's awsome! However, Im having a hard time feeding him. Im trying to feed him Krill (freeze dried and/or frozen). On my first try, he ate one and spit it out. I soaked some in Zoe and he didnt seem to care for...

    Juv. Emperor with smudges????

    The angel is eating very well. In fact, he eats better than everyone else. He's a pig :lol: His eyes arent cloudy either. Other than the smudges, he looks/acts very healthy.

    Juv. Emperor with smudges????

    Thanks everyone. I'll try doing that. Ive thouht about the angel possibly moving from juv. to adult too! But, I'll try doing larger water changes to see if that helps. Thanks again for the help.

    Juv. Emperor with smudges????

    Thanks! I dont have any pics (no camera) however I dont think it would show up anyway. It's pretty light. I dont see any of the fish picking on him. He avoids the lionfish and he and the Sailfin Tang seem to be best friends now.
