    Anyone keeps firefish in a reef tank with open top?

    Yes- my firefish indeed lives in it. He/She will head/jump to it immediately when I place my hand in the tank to do maintenance. On any given day - it will go into the pvc to take what seems like a "nap". Also every day like clockwork - right before lights out, it will head for the pvc home and...

    Anyone keeps firefish in a reef tank with open top?

    yes - since dec2008 - had a firefish in an open top. At first it hid under a piece of LR. I added a pearly jawfish and built the jawfish a pvc/barnacle home. The jawfish kicked out the firefish. The firefish took the pvc/barnacle. It's lived there ever since. When frightened - it darts down...

    Tank crash survivors

    In the middle of a war with a simple pathetic lifeform known as bryopsis. Honest - who would have thought a simple plant would make one want to throw the towel in?!!!? I swear this algae is in cahoots with magnesium sellers because I'm cornering the market on Tech M!!!!

    Avatar - who has seen it?

    I agree...i rationalized and said - well he is a grunt and maybe he thinks "strategy" is another way of saying - send more troops in. I said to my wife -even the ancient japanese during the Sengoku Era (think the int'l movie Ran or the more recent Last Samurai flick) knew that riding your...

    Need Advice – Adding more Clowns

    lol thanks...i've been a mod too long - some people get really mad over really inconsequential things! we're a bulletin board on fish! ;D ;D ;D btw - if your two clowns ever mate/breed - i'd be happy to help out. Black clowns are very fashionable/retain higher prices. Of course - your batch...

    Need Advice – Adding more Clowns

    ah man - you guys are breaking my chops! I'm sorry if i came across as a know-it-all - I didn't mean that. As if I'm an expert!!! we have to count those spines to be sure. Anyways - cool to hear they are going well. It's all part of the submissive dance I guess.

    Clownfish Log

    been a while since i updated - because i went thru some tough times. Internet explorer 8 is now somehow working and I can post longwinded posts...haha. (Sorry monroereef!) ;) Lesson #1. After the fish has gone thru meta - do not populate the tank with baby brine shrimp. The clowns would not...

    Need Advice – Adding more Clowns

    Just making sure i got this right - you have a pair of false percs in one nem, and want to add another pair of false percs for the second nem. I don't see the issue but fish have their own personalities. As long as the original pair isn't laying eggs -I think they would tolerate another pair...

    Avatar - who has seen it?

    So it was an andrew jackson, a hamilton, and 3 george washington's to get into the movie. Would have been more if the IMAX wasn't sold out. We didn't feel like paying the extra fee to reserve the IMAX tix ahead of time. Anyways - traffic into the city got me there later than anticipated and so...

    Are damsels mean because we don't provide uv light?

    unfortunately damselfish are also territorial because they grow/farm an algae farm in the wild and fight that piece of turf against anyone - including tangs. Confined to a small space - a damselfish becomes intolerant of others near by. That's just it's brain-wired that way. I have a...
