Yeah, typically the mandarins won’t eat the really big ones but the other fish can. And the big ones will reproduce, giving you smaller ones that the mandarin can definitely eat. Getting the wild mandarins to eat amphipods is one of the ways people start to expand their diet and get them...

Yeah, the pods they sell are super huge and the bags are packed. Never seen better amphipods. Will definitely order again in the future and hopefully get more members involved.

The answers to a lot of your questions depend on what you're looking to do, or more specifically, what you're looking to keep. If you're looking to get into corals with higher light requirements eventually, the most popular option nowadays is to go with LEDs because they give you good PAR, don't...

OK, I got a few responses overnight so I'm basically all out for now. I have PoeticInjustice, Amado, and Kabal2 for a full portion of 2000 each. Rockfish - I can do a half portion (1000 pods) for you for $20 if you'd like. Just let me know. Otherwise, everything's gone unless somebody backs...

You got it Amado. I'll let you know when I got shipping info confirmed.

Aquarium Depot is running their "Buy 1000 Pods, Get 1000 Pods for Free" Promotion again. Since the offer's set to expire within a couple hours, I went ahead and placed a large order (to take advantage of the free shipping). I'll have a couple extra portions available. I know a lot of people...

Yes, I agree that we should all do our own QT. Having said that, I still like the idea of buying fish that were in at least 30 days of medicated QT from a vendor and then I can just do observational QT myself. This is especially true for fish that are notoriously difficult to QT like leopard...

If anyone’s looking for a used Trident, shoot me a PM.

And try to minimize ambient light (i.e. Light from windows shining on the tank).

i had a couple sexy shrimp that were OK for awhile in my 26 gallon tank a few years ago. They were hard to find and would periodically move from one anemone to the other, so I spent a lot of time looking for them. In the past year, I’ve added 3 of them to a 20 gallon tank. They’ve all...

Coral banded shrimp look nice and are pretty bold. But they can occasionally take out other stuff (including smaller peppermint shrimp). Otherwise skunk cleaners or fire shrimp though those are a little less out and about in my experience. Really depends on your other tank inhabitants. They also...

I think you mean NeoNitro rather than NeoPhos to get those nitrates up. I’m actually running into the same situation as the OP. Phos was around 0.2-0.3 and Nitrates were undetectable. Had it verified by LFS. What I was told was that I had too much filtration (skimmer, chaeto, and a couple large...

I have some but I’m up in Florham Park, 07932. About an hour north of you. Shooting you a PM if you want to text me.

Welcome aboard! Great to have new members.

Haven't made any trips to Salgado in the past couple months as my tank is already overstocked, lol. But his prices are always cheaper in store, plus the prices will gradually drop if he's had the fish in stock for awhile. I've definitely seen them sell swallowtail pairs for less in the last 6...

Thanks for the nice frags again! Things are gradually opening up now and look so far so good.

If you're dropping off with Warren, leave my frags there too! I was just over there today and normally stop by about once a week. I can go back tomorrow afternoon after work if need be.

I think the Two Spot Bristletooth is the same fish as a Blue Eyed Kole. Ctenochaetus binotatus

Scopas is a similar shape and probably the cheapest alternative. Purples are around the same price as yellows now. I like blue eyed kole tangs and flame fin tomini tangs also - do a good job with algae, stay smaller, and seem to be less aggressive than yellows. Both would be cheaper than yellows...

Absolutely Fish (Clifton) has a bunch of them right now.
