I'm thinking cleaner shrimp might not be too keen on snacking on ich. Apparently, scientists haven't found much evidence of ich cells in their digestive tracts in the wild. I recall reading something about this in RC's Common Misconceptions in the Hobby, it's worth a look.

I've read mixed reviews, so I'd advise against it. If you could find one that's willing to eat prepared foods, you might have a shot. No need to tell you to do your research, I know you will.

Good luck with it, but personally, I wouldn't even think about keeping one in anything smaller than a 55 ...

My dad's clownfish have laid millions of eggs, which is awesome considering they're a well-established pair of about 2 years. The female is a real beauty, over 4" and surprisingly nice coloured for a common clown.

Besides the issue of fatty deposits around the liver, the lack of omega-3 in freshwater organisms likely plays a role as well. There are probably other deficiencies and non-essential nutrients that come into play too.

Yeah, it can definitely work out if you've got a good understanding of what you're doing.

A goby would be a solid choice for a 10-gallon tank - you might even be able to find a mated pair of some species. There are a few other decent options out there too, but honestly, the selection is pretty ...

I've gotta agree with the others, API phosphate tests aren't the most reliable. Salifert's a better bet, but you've got to be careful not to get one of their dodgy batches. ELOS is another good option, though I'm not sure if they're available in the UK yet. To be honest, none of these tests are as ...
