Nevermind that last post. I was in a bad mood due to problems with other pets(had to put down my rabbit). In other news, I brought back a bunch of the hermits(I have 3 now. Is that too much?) and got 25 dollars of store credit that will go towards fish when I get them.

I don't mean to sound impatient, but does anyone have opinions/advice?

I do in fact seem to have those. I actually only have 12(I have one red leg). I got them labeled as "Assorted Hermit Crabs". They are quite small now and never burrow, so maybe I'm miss IDing them. If not I'll trade them in. Any thoughts on the other stock?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do not think I had a thread on this forum for my tank(I have a very bad memory and I'm on multiple threads). Well, I'm four weeks into not having any fish to kill off the ich, and with 5-6 weeks left I just wanted to secure the stock. My current stock is: 13 Thin...

So I got my protein skimmer today... turns out it is an Oceanic Biocube Skimmer.  Wasn't labeled as that though, but it was like 30 bucks so I took it.  Sadly no returns, and I'm not interested in buying another one.  I checked the air pump and it said CAP 21 gph, so basically I'm gonna get...

Try searching "Nano Saltwater Fish".  Pick 10 that you like, and come back here and post them.  We'll tell you what will work and what won't.  I'd say nothing over 3 inches, and most things that get three inches wouldn't work.

Ok. I thought that it was like 4 or 5 but I kept finding 2 to 3 weeks so that's what I went with.

I just got back from vacation(did anyone hear about the Carnival Cruise ship that got stuck in St. Martin? That was me.) and the clownfish is gone. No body, nothing. So, today I went and got 5 pounds of LR, and a skunk cleaner(but I almost got a pair of harlequins). I rearranged the tank and...

Hello to whoever is viewing this, and to everyone who isn't.  Right now my 29g tank is looking and feeling pretty empty, Marine Ich just doesn't want to go away.  Still got my last Clown(don't give up on me now!), but I have decided to take this opportunity to rethink my whole stocking plan...

I have:   2 Tanks: 1 Freshwater, 1 Saltwater 2 Dogs: 1 Miniature Australian Labradoodle, (Reddish Brown)Daisy; 1 Whoodle(Wheaten-Poodle), (Black)Luigi 3 Bunnies: 1 Holland Lop/Mini Rex Mix, Summer(Multicolor/White, Black, Brown); 1 Mini Rex, (White with Brown spots)Baby; 1 Lionhead...

I just lost my blenny today, but I don't know why.  I'm guessing ich, since my OTHER clownfish now has it.  I have a copper based medication on hand, but I have live rock, and snails, and Hermits, and shrimp in there so that wouldn't work.  This ich doesn't look too serious, and I'm feeding with...

Thanks for all the help    Here's a picture of the two before things went downhill.

Does it make a difference if it is a Chocolate(Black) Ocellaris or not, because the one that died today was.

Should I buy the smallest clown possible to make it easier for them to sort things out?  I'm pretty sure the surviving one is female, but I don't know if he/she has made the change yet.

Sadly, I did not move fast enough.  Jetsam(or Jet for short) was found dead on the bottom of the net.  He was pale and almost all of the color ad drained from his body.  This really frustrates me, because I tried so hard to keep fish from dying, and this is the first for this tank.  Now...

Is the diet he's on now(flakes and blood worms) acceptable? I'm not sure if he needs veggies but I have seaweed.

That's reassuring.  I'll get the betta container ASAP.  I'm just crossing my fingers that the little guy will survive, since he is pretty beat up.  Do you have any tips on getting them to heal faster?  All I have for meds are Melafix, which is iffy, and API Stress Coat and a Water Conditioner.

Ok, I really scrubbed down the old net, brand new looking and smelling(didn't use soap though, don't worry).  The clown is in the net, but at the moment refuses to eat.  His fins are still torn(I've been using medication to try and help, but it doesn't really do much), and he kinda just hovers...

Sorry :P Should've been more specific.  Here's the setup:   29g   2 Ocellaris Clowns(1" and 1.75") 1 Starry Blenny(3") 2 Peppermint Shrimp 13 Blue and Red Leg Hermit Crabs 6 Turbo Snails 30lbs of Live Rock   And I make sure to wash off all of the equipment with clean freshwater before using it...

I have a 29g Gallon Tank with 2 Clownfish(not just the clowns though, there's more that I'm not listing) and one of them is recuperating from a bout with ich that I believe is FINALLY gone, and the dominant clownfish is pretty aggressive with it.  The edges of its fins are torn and nipped at, so...

Since no one is ever going to answer on my other thread, I guess I'll make a new one. One of my clownfish I' pretty sure has Ich. My Blenny and other Clownfish do not. Some days there won't be any spots, and other days there will be a ton. I don't have a QT, since I'm pressed for space and money.

So everything was fine in fish world, until a day or two ago. I noticed a few white spots on one of my clowns. My clowns had been fighting, so I thought nothing of it. Now it has many more spots, so I did some research on marine ich and it sounds like My tank has it :( I looked for...

I've been hand feeding them(krill and bloodworms, and occasionally seaweed) and I get a pretty good look at them. I'm fairly confident that they are indeed Peppermints. I got a second clown recently, and since then they have backed off significantly. Even from the Hermit Crabs. Hopefully all...

I'll check again... Yet aren't as aggressive anymore. I gave them some Krill and they shared it until there was nothing left. They also eat the flake food I bought, but that's about it. Only Luna is allowed in their "den", but they won't kill or attack anything that comes near it anymore. And...

I've seen them both quite clearly a few times, and they don't have the swirly pattern of camel shrimp. Just straight red stripes(sort of) either way, they look extremely similar to other Peppermint shrimp. And I saw them kill one. One of the smallest hermit crabs was picking at algae when the...

Hello everyone! After getting my Starry Blenny, Luna, recently, I decided to pick up 3 peppermint shrimp(.5-1 inch each) since they were on sale and I figured it couldn't hurt. When I got home, I acclimated them and put them in the tank. After the first hour, two had paired off and killed the...

Just bought Him/Her today! Drip Acclimating right now, hopefully will be in tank soon!

Ok, so it's been a week. I have 13 Hermits, and 7 Turbo Snails. Ammonia and Nitrite are 0, and Nitrate is about 20. The algae is starting to grow on 3 live rocks, and the other live rock had algae, but it was devoured. The nonlive rock has a few specks of algae on it. The pH is 8.1-2. So...

Ok... So bad idea. I'll keep that in mind.

Ok. Would it be OK to use Ghost Shrimp as live food sometimes? I saw somewhere that the fish appreciate it.

http://www.petco.com/product/105347/Aqueon-Bottom-Feeder-Tablets.aspx This http://www.petco.com/product/113756/Aqueon-Pellet-Cichlid-Food.aspx And this I also have freeze dried brine shrimp, krill, and blood worms. I recently bought Dried Seaweed. Will this cover the stocking list?

Ok. I have some different fish food I might use for some of the species, but it contains a very small amount of copper sulfate(lowest concentration). Will this be OK for the shrimp, snails, and hermits? The Blenny at my LFS is like 3-4 inches, is that too big? Should I wait for a smaller one...

I just got the snails and hermits today. 7 Turbo Snails and 7 Blue and Red legged Hermits. They all seem fine, and are contently munching on algae. How long should I wait for the Starry Blenny? And how often should I feed it the Seaweed?

So what would the order be? Snails, Hermits first I heard inverts need an established tank, but the Basslet and Clown are aggressive. How does this sound? 1. Hermits/Snails 2. Starry Blenny(anything I can do to grow lots of algae? I'll get the dried seaweed) 3. Goby/Shrimp 4. Chalk Basslet...

Also, I found a REALLY pretty Coral Banded Shrimp(as pretty as they get), I'm guessing it wouldn't work, but maybe it could(perhaps?)

I don't think I'll risk the Jawfish. Better to play it safe! My LFS has Starry Blenny and Chalk Basslet in stock, but I'm still unsure about the Blenny. The Goby is a Steinitz Goby and the pistol is an Orange Striped Pistol Shrimp, so not a Tiger Pistol, which is good. Also, I have a cycling...

I've tried to make prominent boundaries, with a separate cave/area for the goby and shrimp, and another area for the jawfish. I've read that Blennies feed on algae and other bacteria, and I don't think I'd have enough to keep one happy. What about a Geometric Pygmy Hawkfish? The shrimp would...

First time on this forum... so excited to have a person other than a store clerk who knows very little give me advice! After quite a few years of freshwater, I decided that it was time for an upgrade. I've done a fair share of research, and have gotten a few mixed reviews on what will work...
