Well the eggs hatched on Monday night, July 5th. At least we think they did - it's possible the female cleaned house. I didn't have any rotifer culture set up yet and none of my tanks were ready so this was more just a confirmation to see that indeed those were eggs. The location is a very poor...

that is awesome! i saw a reflection of the wife/kid too...more of them in the future on videos please. ;)

that's too bad! yeah cardinalfish can eat a lot. I had hopes of having 10 in my tank - i'm down to 2. If there's ever a sale again i may get a few more. 2 is "eh" - ok. I'd rather have a larger group of them. If you're ridding them - you may get more value by ditching all of them as the...

btw d - your pics of the cardinalfish are gone...for obvious reasons. How are they and how about posting a recent pic? ;D

Re: Clownfish Log (they are breeding again!) So about 4 months ago a big change for my tank was adding an anemone (thanks jrwohler!) and thankfully it has finally situated itself relatively in the middle of the tank. I noticed the male clown tends to hover under the nem (below the tentacles...

A year later: top down pic: coral is from aqob - which got it from mike napoli (where r u now???). I believe it is a type of tri-color validia- but I do not think it is a "bonsai". Or are those terms interchangeable? The growth pattern matches the time frame from when I purchased the new...

I am sorry what was this thread about - i was distracted by the man with four hands. ;D ;D ;D

The main premise appears to be based on small animals - hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils etc - that is the main big volume item that the shelter is talking about. The rep at the shelter is quoted as saying fish are not something she advocated to be included on the legislation but she isn't against...

Mycobacterium marinum (M. marinum) is bacteria found in fresh and saltwater that can infect the skin through cuts or scrapes, causing granulomas to appear on the skin near the site of infection. This infection may be treated with a long course of oral antibiotics. good article about it here...

is that what it appears like inflated or deflated?

flatworms are not necessarily bad in "moderation" but are definitely not good (if that makes any sense). Bottom line - best to rid them before they get to epidemic proportions. When that happens they become bad simply because a sharp drop/death in population will ruin the water chemistry thereby...

the anti-bad word blocker is making the post look like this to me: e**l's f***y wr***e

i don't think there is any formula for success other than live rock and an area in the tank or sump where you don't have a fish constantly eating them. Also pods is a rather generic term. There are copepods or there are amphipods. There are also nasty isopods (e.g. ones with huge eyes that...

i presume you wouldn't be able to mix seahorses with these guys because of the temp difference? speaking of which - these eels are ok in 78~80 temp?

Spammer, what is your quest?

i was thinking the same thing. Trio#3 - you sure you are getting water from the display tank? that would seem unusual. Newly made saltwater should have zero risk of introducing any type of illness. If as you describe it the water is coming from the main tank, there will ALWAYS (however...

michael sorry to hear about the problems. If you want any new frags - just let me know via pm. Alternatively if you are able to frag some pieces from your corals, and want to pass a frag to me to hold on to until the tank stabilizes (and then i'd give it back to you later) let me know. if you...

the fish has gone to a better home - some endless ocean up somewhere i hope. (aka it didn't make it past 48 hrs).

older pic (as in BEFORE macna atlantic city) before it developed the red/green markings on the face: Caveats: Loves to murder small snails. Just recently jumped out of the tank and hit the floor hard. It is hanging in there by a thread in the sump. Frankly i'm not sure if he lives the night...

hmmm i dunno how many posts i lost. after 4000 you sort of just lose track. ;D
