Hi thought id post an update on our fry. We still have quite a few survivors and theyre growing. Ive been hatching bring shrimp everyday and feeding them on that. Im pretty sure they are Chromis but they hide so well in the rock work that it will be a while before i can get a decent pic - if...

They appear to be fine at the moment. I have several lots of fry at different stages and they are definately fish fry as ive seen them quite clearly. Since ive been aware of their present ive been feeding adding phytoplex to the tank several times a day im also waiting for a batch of brine...

Thanks Navarre - were taking pics this evening so hopefully u can see them. where would the mysis shrimp or copopods come from? These guys actually do look like fish. They have big eyes with bright gold rims. I heard and have read that damsels breed in exactly the same way as clowns -...

I would do but theyre not livebearers they are egg layers. Thanks anyway

Hi weve just spotted lots of fry in our marine tank and were not sure what they are. The only fish they can be is either blue-green chromis (we have 6) or yellow tangs (we have 6). All our other fish are singletons. We have fry at various stages so its obviously happened a few times. Weve...

Does anyone have any information on the success rate of Scooter Blennies breeding in captivity. My two think they are little rabbits and im wondering if anything will come of their efforts (no pun intended). Here is a pic of the busy little guys. Sorry my pic doesnt appear to be here. I...

:look: Well its been about a week since my last post and my latest additions to my tank are looking good. The ammonia is still reading zero but strangely the pH is still reading 8.8. I thought this swing would have been as a result of the ammonia spike and would have stabilised. Will this...

Its interesting that its normally a watchman as i have a watchmen and i wondered if it would be him. In a way im glad its not as hes gainfully employed keeping my substrated well maintained and the tangerine looked sad with no purpose. Thanks for your comments

:D Hi everyone i recently heard that tangerine Goby's and Pistol shrimps get on well. I already had the Goby and last week i found my pistol shrimp. The TV has been off ever since and i cant believe the astounding relationship these two guys have. The shrimp has buit a cavern under my living...

Thanks for that we will consider maybe a uv unit. Ozone sounds scary but interesting - i will look into that in more detail. My tank is 150 us gallons so it should be large enough for my regal tang. At the mo. apart from him i only have 2 wreck fish, 2 percula clowns, 1 coral beauty, 1 blood...

I am looking for some advice about whitespot. Last week my young regal tang ha a whitespot which fell off after a few hours. I started using garlic guard and all was well till yesterday when in the evening the wee guy was covered in spots. I am dosing the tank with esha oodinex which i bought...
