Re: How would you stock my tank?

How about a mix of Harlequin Rasboras and some dwarf Gouramis? They'd balance the tank nicely. Just watch the Gouramis if you add more than one, they can get territorial.

Re: about clown fish

Honestly, I'm skeptical about this working out. My Cin. Clown's been running the show in my 75 for 2 years now. Generally, he's cool with the other fish, but when he gets territorial, watch out - he'll chase them all off. If the pairing isn't spot on, you might end up with a deceased clown on your ...

Re: Flatworms or red bugs on corals


I've got a red bug infestation on many of my corals, and it's come out of nowhere - literally, I had no idea this was coming. Doesn't really matter how it happened, though.

I also found some black bugs on my montipora.

Thinking of going with a Sentinel treatment.

Had a similar issue with red ...

Re: Flatworms or red bugs on corals

You treated the entire tank with Bayer dip, or just the individual corals that were affected?

As for the sand, I highly doubt the red bugs would be able to burrow in it, given their need for a host, typically SPS corals. Having recently gone through three rounds of Sentinel treatment myself, I feel ...

Re: Keeping a blenny with algae

Algae blennies are pretty resilient fish, but they do have one major requirement - a constant supply of algae. If your tank can't provide that, you'll likely see the blenny struggle to survive. Adding veggie wafers can be a good supplement, but that's assuming your other tank inhabitants won't get ...

Re: Keeping clown fish and yellow tang together

I see what you guys mean. My yellow tang looks pretty pinkish in the morning, and my clown's been rubbing against the sand so much it's made a bare spot now.
