Thanks, I am trying like crazy to get some more, but no one has them and I am surrounded by LFSs

I can't believe how stupid I am. Well, yes I can. I have been having a problem losing pipefish for a long time and I couldn't figure out why. But I did now and I should have realized it which is driving me crazy because I usually see these potential problems. The problem started a couple of...

I actually have encountered them (and ate them) many times. My Dad used to sell them live in our sea food fish market. They are very common here in New York especially in very shallow water. They are scavengers and will eat anything. Very slimy creature.

Yeah, he's a real killer. :nervous The little sneak got sucked up in one of these as I was taking a little water out of his container, then he wouldn't come out, but I think he came out later when I used that in my reef. He thinks he is smarter than me. OK, so I guess he is. But they spawn...

I was on my boat today in the Long Island Sound and a member on here was there with me collecting grass shrimp next to my boat. He also collected this, which I studied when I got him home and I think he in an elver or baby eel. They grow to about 4' long. I was studying him in a small tank...

It's just a plastic container with a fine mesh on top. There is a tube going to the surface with a funnel on it to load the new born shrimp. The shrimp try to get out through the mesh and the fish eat them. I also patented a larger version for adult shrimp...

There is a scooter dragonette and a mandarin.

This is a multibanded pipefish eating newborn brine shrimp that escaped from the feeder. This is a dragon faced pipefish eating new born brine. A bluestripe pipefish comes over the the feeder eventually

Someone asked me these questions on another forum but I am tired of typing so I am also putting it here. Make believe someone asked me this. Like many things in this hobby, I don't think of that as a problem but just something you need to do to keep such a fish. There is no competition...

Those bananafish seem to be spawning. I can't see one of them to well as she is in the nest (I think) The other one follows her in there all day. Notice how fat she is compared to the last shot of her And I just got this guy today. Very cool. He gets along great with this guy,

I quit keeping Emu's. I never had one but if I did, it would be time to quit.

I think the LFS that I go to the most is going to go out of business. They raised their electric bill by 40% and I think that will push them over the edge. If that happens I have to travel about 3 times farther to get blackworms so I will have to build a much larger worm keeper so I don't have...

My tank is running well, everybody is happy, the pair of pistol shrimp are still digging up the entire tank and toppling rocks, the clown gobies are still spawning and killing the acropora's, the fireclown's are still fighting/spawning and both of them hate the copperband but he doesn't care and...

It didn't hurt mine :D

Actually we used to do that all the time, and No, you don't even have to change the water. You can add one cup of "regular Clorox" to fifty gallons of water, let it sit for a few days and then add double the dose of chlorine remover to the tank. In a few days, add fish and make believe it...

I had a Fairchild game which came out just before Arari and was really archaic. It had "Pong" and little else.

I hate when that happens. That's a bummer. That heater was from my freshwater days and was kind of old. I even have older ones that worked by steam. I still find marbles in my tank as some of that stuff has been in my tank from when it was freshwater in the 50s and 60s. Remember my tank was not...

I can't load the video but its my computer, not your video. Grand Cayman actually has some nice diving for the Caribbean, I have dove there a few times. This was Hawaii last year, but Grand Cayman has better visability :D

So I am sitting in my basement watching my fish as they were watching me and all of a sudden the lights go out. I was an electrician for 40 years and I can count on one hand how many times my circuit breaker tripped in my house while I was not doing anything like leaf blowing, arc welding or...

My closest friend and dive partner spends half the time in the Florida Keys and half here in New York. We can't really tank any kind of pictures here as the visability here is measured in inches. My avatar was taken from about an inch away here in NY and that's about the farthest away you can...
