    Mating Behavior

    Mark, feeding a varied diet is not always the answer. Different fish ned different food. A copperband butterfly does not need vegetable matter nor does a mandarin. They get the vitamins they need from the meaty foods they eat. Most tangs need greens and seahorses need live food. All of their...

    Get corals off the sand

    I don't even know what the topic is but the thing is made out of a PVC skeleton with cement over it. Some of it is real rocks. Here is a 3' piece that has beeen in my tank for many years. I like this stuff because it is hollow and offers a great place for bacteria. It is also practically free to...

    Mating Behavior

    Yes but not those gobies. I have only raised seahorses, blue devils, clownfish and bangai cardinals. The rest I just let do what they do in my tank. The bluestripped pipefish fry can't even been seen and these gobies spawn all the time, someday if I have time I will collect the eggs and raise them.

    Stir things up

    Yes, I know, stupid title. I don't know about you guys but I like to try to keep things natural. A perfectly clean sterile envirnment is neither natural or healthy. We all have a little detritus hiding somewhere, some of us have mountains of it. This material is mostly beingn but it is composed...

    Spotfin Butterfly Fish Collecting

    I would like to update this little sping burfish that I collected this last summer. He has grown about double in size and is about an inch and a half, up from the 3/4" he was when collected. He eats worms, clams and plankton. The butterfliesand wrasses we collected that same trip are also...

    My crabs hate me

    I have a large TV and lately I have to tune in to the "Living Seas" specials to keep them occupied. It's now just a problem during the commercials.

    My crabs hate me

    it is annoying and these crabs are over 10 years old so this has been going on since they were babies. I guess I didn't bring them up correctly. This urchin is the same problem. This is an old picture and he not only steals food from the corals, he steals the entire coral and brings them to the...

    My crabs hate me

    I have a love/hate relationship with hermit crabs. I wish they could not detect food so well. There are maybe 6 or 8 of them in my tank but two of them are over 10 years old and they are big and tough. When I feed the corals (which I do while I am waiting for a phone call) the crabs of course...

    Algae trough

    The thick slimy stuff in your fuge is probably cyano but I can't see it from here. That stuff is hard to eliminate and can stick around for months. Sounds like you have a severe problem and needs severe control methods. Your tank obviousely has too much organic matter in it either from too many...
