Who Gives A Fish Forums

I'd say it's no more complicated than setting up a new tank, if you plan it out properly. Losing 160 litres of water isn't a big deal, it's basically like a 40% water change. As long as your fish are happy during the changeover, you're golden.

You'll probably need to add some buffering to maintain ...

My angels ignored the Hornwort I added. It's not the prettiest, but it's functional.

If you can reach behind comfortably, consider getting some ceramic tile paint and give it a coat.

If I were you, here's what I'd do - move that thermometer to a side, out of the way. I'm not a fan of seeing equipment in the tank, but if it's got to be there, let's hide it. I'd either reposition the heater so it's almost horizontal, just slightly raised at the gauge end, and tuck it behind the ...

I'm thinking of getting a fish that needs at least a 30 gallon tank.

Replacing the pygmy with a similar fish isn't a guaranteed ...

I think having another clownfish in the tank would be a good idea, so you've got a pair. The loss of a similar sized tankmate might've had an effect, but it's unlikely to be depression due to them being different species. I'd say it's more stress, but having a pair of clownfish will show you their ...

They resemble RPE from Indo, I'd say they're a nice zoa, that green mouth does give it a bit of a PE vibe though.


I think I see what you guys mean about the Palythoa possibility, but I'm still not entirely convinced - the green mouth does seem similar to a People Eater, but I don't see any of ...

I'm inclined to think they could be a threat to shrimp and crabs, given their reputation as an uber-predator that will try to eat anything that fits in their mouth. With a max size of 5", that's most inverts right there. They're also known to release poisonous toxins when stressed or dying, which is ...
