Just an update with a pic if I can add it. Everything was the same till late last night, when she let the male near her after a few battles, when the lights went out, she was arching her body again for him.......she is playing games! This morning, he cant get near her again. She may have laid...

nice well to me it sounds like that they might of spawned like you say you and see what is in there if they have they will be on the side or the top which makes it a bit difficult to see just keep an eye on them for a few more days dose she keep having a go at him or it just all in general...

how long as the tank been set up and running it looks like they might of spawned already by what your say and the way she is acting but i was trying to get an history of your tank and what are the stats of it at the moment This tank has been running just under 2 year, the ph is 7.6 and...

I bought a pair of Kribensis last friday (21st May). They seemed to be settling in great and getting along together, they had chosen a cave in the first couple of days, they were both in and out and keeping other fish away from it. Then they started what I thought was the mating process of...

Grrr what a nightmare I have just read on another site that quinine sulfate killed of the LR and snails, so that doesn't look promising either. If like in the link I posted, the fish is feeding well. so if I leave it and hope it survives, will it still spread to the other fish? I have a...

Erm....is this for real? Another Message Board Forum

Thanks guys, I have been trying for the last 2 days, as soon as I open the hood, he is away behind the rocks. I have just tried holding a glass (containing a chopped up shrimp) in the tank but it was a bit slippy and I was frightened incase I dropped the glass and it smashed on the rocks. I...

Hi Folks Please please please, Does anyone have any tips on catching a marine fish without removing everything? I have a regal tang with white spot, I have a hospital tank but cant catch the darn thing to treat it. Failing this, does anyone have any suggestions on treatment that can be used...

Sorry for the late reply, had such a hectic weekend. I was advised by the LFS to use the Melafix, this is not the marine version but is suitable for fresh and saltwater aquariums, the also said it is suitable to use in the tank with all other fish and inverts because it is made with all natural...

Sorry for the late reply. This sponge filter sounds like the internal ones used in tropical tanks like Elite and Fluval, am I right?

Great, thanks, I will look for the marine version, I think I have seen it here in the UK Cheers :good:

Thanks Ski :good: Might be a daft question, but what is a sponge filter so I know what I am looking for? My main tank runs on the MariSys 240 and I have an extra powerhead in the tank, so these sponge filters on their own I am not familiar with :blush: Cheers

I am getting approx a 15g tank over the weekend (second hand) and want to set it up as a quarantine tank for my marine fish.....can you tell me what the basic needs are for this please? Like.....Do I need to have a large filtration system, LR, Skimmers, Powerheads etc or can it just be the...

I have been on the emergency board and a flesh eating bacteria has been suggested... does anyone know if I can treat this in my main tank because I done have a quarantine tank. Thanks for any advice

OK will do and thanks again for your help :good:

Can I treat it in the same tank as other fish? Also in the tank is 3 chromis, 2 common clownfish and a green mandarin, then the cuc of 2 shrimp, 2 anemone crabs, 2 large hemits and a few small hermits...oh and a feather duster worm...no corals as yet.

I remember him getting chased by a territorial damsel when we first added him, then we saw the tiny white mark on the back, this was obviously bone, over the 10 days more skin has gone showing more bone and seems to be getting worse..maybe there is a parasite somewhere because he seems to like...

There isnt exactly a white patch, just the skin has disappeared showing the bones. I dont see any redness and he isn't flicking or rubbing. I tried to take a pic but it isn't too good (I haven't got the knack of getting fish to pose as yet lol

I posted this in the marine and reef section, but someone mentioned trying here even though its mainly tropical emergencies. I have had a coral beauty in my tank for 10 days now, when I first got it, there was a small white patch on the arch of his back where the fins are, I thought this was...

Thanks Ox I am not sure if it is fin rot so I will try the emergency board here :rolleyes:

Thanks Guys, I done a search and goldfish can be fed shrimp, so maybe a little treat now and then will be ok. Only problem I might have is they like it too much and then wont touch their flakes and pellets. Cheers

Just a quick question for anyone...... Can goldfish and tropical fish be fed with Mysis & Artemia? I was just wondering seeing as the marine fish love it so much. Thanks in advance

I have had a coral beauty in my tank for 10 days now, when I first got it, there was a small white patch on the arch of his back where the fins are, I thought this was due to a scrap he had with a damsel when first added to the tank.This seems to have gotten bigger over the 10 days and today I...

Yep I will get an ALK test. The stats are mine taken with an API test tube kit. I am in the UK and the store is World Of Water, not sure about all the time but when we bought the water it was mixed there and then while we were waiting because we needed 7 bottles. Cheers and any other advice...

Hi Ox Yes the feather duster is the first and only problem so far.....it was acclimatised over about an hour adding tank water to the bag at 5 min intervals. Yes the rock was fully cured. The tank was set up a couple of weekends ago and we added the damsels/chromis etc after about 5 days of...

Oops forgot to mention, I think I have had what is called the Diatom Bloom when the LR all turned brown but the CUC seem to be taking care of that. my CUC consists of 10 tiny hermet crabs, 2 large blue leg hermits, 2 cleaning shrimp, and 2 crabs, 1 is an anenome crab not sure about the other...

Hi all I have just joined the forum today, so I am just adding a little bit about myself. I got into fish keeping about 4 months ago when I bought a larger tank for my goldfish...this escalated from one thing to another and I now have a 6g tank housing 10 tropical neons, a 20g tropical tank...

This might be the site mentioned in an earlier post, I bought some hermit crabs from here....10 for £9.99 postage is £11.99 regardless of how many items. http://www.bluzooaquatics.co.uk/index.asp
