look at some of the blennies available they might be an option but just one with a clown!

You cant put three fish in an 8 gallon tank, maybe one small one but nothing else!

when i first started i had a choc star i didnt do my research and eventually took him back to the store but he used to go to the top of the tank and stick a few arms out of the water so that was when i fed him you just put a little at the end of one arm and he will move it to his mouth with his...

check your local fish stores, i live in st louis and we had a big storm come through everyones electric was off for days and days. I took them to a fish store tthat was not effected by the power outages they kept all my fish my coral live rock and inverts for free until i got my tank back...

thanks for all of the replies it looks very much like the horse conch however its foot is cream colored not pinkish and im not going to be getting any more astrea I will definatley take your suggestion on the nass

thanks guys the trunk looks the same but it is not nearly as colorful. and the shell is shaped a bit different, but im taking him back to the fish store all the same and ill be sure to keep my hands off him just in case thanks

I have a question. how do you identify snails? I recently aquired a snail for free and it was huge it has this weird trunck like thing that he sticks out sorry i cant give a picture but if someone knows how to identify or maybe knows of a website id be really gratefull. i will probably get...

how do you id a snail i cant find it on the web anywhere I need to know if it is a good guy or bad guy?

I live in st louis missouri and we had a couple of storms roll through that kept the power off for 4 days, so after no water changes lights circulation or heater my tank was a mess. I filled a large bucket up with fresh saltwater unfortunatley made with tap water, put my live rock snails crabs...

i would only do three fish as you will then be at your tanks capacity i believe. also you may want to stay away from the catalina goby as they come from an area where the temperature is lower so putting them in your tank is not good for the fish and also gives them a very short life span.hope...

i believe that is a sand sifting goby and it doesnt look like you have much in the way of sand for him to sift

how big is your tank and what are your readings? sorry noticed it is a 150g, the tangs being stressed may be due to the fact that you have four different tangs in one tank

I know it will feed on stony corals im not sure about softies

I have not had any but I beleive you inject them with the water there is also something called joes juice that you can get if the water doesnt work or you can try vinegar. I would take it out once it is dead

try a bicolor blenny they dont swim around much, and they arent very colorful although mine seems to change colors , but they have really neat personalities, I love mine

more specifics would help, like how long has the tank been up how long have the fish been in there, and what your nitrates ext.. are at. just because your starfish is fine does not mean that your water is good. I had a choclate chip star when i first started out and he was hardier than any of...

I think six to seven fish in a 30 gallon tank is to many, this is just my personal belief but there is just not enough room. I may be misunderstanding the point of a sump but Its not something that the fish swim in so it just allows you to keep your water quality better, I think that maybe we...

i dont think anyone can give you statistics but if it freaks or dies it will nuke your tank, so the question is do you really want to risk all your livestock just for one fish?

(Cirrhilabrus cf temminckii) Quick Stats Minimum Tank Size: 50 gallons Care Level: Easy Tank Conditions: 72-78°F; sg 1.020-1.025; pH 8.1-8.4; dKH 8-12 Max. Size In Aquarium: Up to 5" Color Form: Green, Neon Green, Red, White, Yellow Temperament: Peaceful Reef Compatible: Yes Diet...

If you dont mind the suggestion I have found that if you buy new gas containers they work out perfectly instead of the usual buckets!

I am new but if you have a fish that is attacking/killing other fish its probably a good idea to get rid of it, its not going to get better but it may get worse.

clown fish and bi color blenny

I think using a skimmer also depends on the fish/corals you plan on having, the more feedings, the more you might need the protein skimmer, I thinks its just personal preferance, I would also wait for more experienced answers, as i am also newer to this. good Luck either way you go

I was using tap water and trust me dont go there it just makes it alot harder and you never get your nitrates down, unfortunately i lost a fish before i smartened up

can you give more info? how long has the tank been up how long have you had the fish ext... that nay help

just because the live rock will take care of the waste does not be the fish will be happy just something to think about!

Agreed! no hard feelings!

Of course i don't think its right to use a fish to cycle the tank but that point was already brought up so i thought i would try a different angle, also you have to remember back when you first started in saltwater its easy to take the recommendation from the fish stores because you don't know...

This is a stupid question that i should have asked earlier but Ill have to deal with the repercussions now. So here is my dilema: I have a 20 gallon tall tank it is 24 inches long,so I bought a new lighting fixture because I was ready to upgrade. I bought a 24" 130W Dual Strip Compact...

they pretty much all get aggressive, but not to worry you dont need them to cycle your tank because the liverock will do it all on its own so you dont need to waste your money

you may want to think about getting that undergravel filter out, I know itmay be a lot of work but you will either lose your livestock because of all the nitrates it will collect, or if you clean it meticulously enough that it does not trap nitrates you doing just as much work. just a...

If this is your first saltwater tank and you decide to go nano do alot of research first and foremost. I am new but ill try to answer a few questions. a Nano cube is a good choiceif your certain you want to go nano. Your tank should not need heavy maintnence every night but you do need to...

I feel for you, I also was misinformed when I first started out and i am still a newbie but You might want to take the star fish back also. I also had one on the lfs advice and found out they can get as big as my hand, He also ate two shrimp a fish and three snails before i took him back...

Thanks @tombomb for the reply and don't worry i wont add them all at once!

Thanks for the reply We were thinking of a bi color blenny, a clown fish (not marroon, but not sure which kind yet), and a six line wrasse do you think that will work are we at are max with those three and if that will not work do you have any other suggestions? Thanks again Also when i...

I have a 20 gallon tank with 20lbs live rock it was up and running but after six months the fish got ick and died before i could save them. I have a choc chip star in there still but i am going to take him back to the lfs. I treated the tank and it is now two months later so i have a couple...

I am new to this but I was under the impression that you should only have 1 type of goby in a tank unless the tank is larger don't take my word for it but I would do some research on that
