Who Gives A Fish Forums

Honestly, the main issue with boxfish is their size - most of them grow up to a foot and a half, which is just way too big for a tank of your size. I'm also starting to think that even a clownfish might be too much for this tank. To be honest, I'd recommend going with something smaller like a few ...

I've got a 55-gallon tank with 57 pounds of liverock, which is home to three hermit crabs, a bunch of snails, a pink tip anemone that came on the live rock, a sand sifter goby, a tomato clown fish, a sixline wrasse, some orange coflake polyps, and purple star polyps. I'm looking to add some more ...

Watch out for territorial issues with the sixline wrasse. Consider a dwarf angel, they're pretty chill.

I've had some experience with Banggai cardinals in a group setting, and I gotta say, it's a bit of a gamble - the males can get pretty aggressive with each other, to the point where they'll fight to the death, unfortunately. I'm not as familiar with the Pajama cardinals, so I'm not sure if they'd ...

I've found that opinions in this hobby are all over the place - it's like nowhere else I've seen. At work, we sell a 10g 'Nemo' starter kit, which I personally think is way too small, but my boss, who's super knowledgeable about this stuff, is fine with it. I guess that's the thing - sometimes you ...

I've got a slightly different take on this - I think a 20g (around 76L) can work for a pair of the smaller clowns. That being said, your 65L tank is still on the small side in my book. I do agree with the others that keeping just one clown isn't ideal - they're much more interesting and happy with a ...

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. Gonna try the Crypts and Dwarf Sag combo first. Fingers crossed!

What's your go-to plant combo for a low-tech tank? I'm running a 20-gallon with sand substrate and moderate lighting, but my Anubias and Java Fern aren't thriving. Looking for something easy but visually striking.

I can see why he'd be into breeding them. I've been in his shoes before. Just don't expect to break even, but you'll gain some valuable experience.

Not only is it crucial to have live zooplankton, as Ben mentioned, but it's also essential to note that they're extremely picky eaters. They simply won't touch dead, frozen, or any other type of non-living food source. Furthermore, the zooplankton needs to be enriched, which is yet another reason ...
