fish advice

I believe it had the same thing a year ago, which went away by itself. It came a few days ago, and I’m pretty sure it is scratch marks, but wanted to share it in here if it could be something else. No other fish has any diseases or symptoms, and the fox face eats well.

My Scorpionfish (I believe he's a Scorpaenodes Brasiliensi) has had what looked like a little fog in his eye for a little over a month, my lion had the same little bit of cloudiness and it disappeared on its own so I didn't think much of it. My params are perfect 8.2ph 0amm, 0nit, minimal...

Have any of yall ever seen this Bicolor Chromis? There doesnt seem to be a lot of talk about them on here. I was wondering how are they different from Blue/Green Chromis in terms of temperment and hardiness. Live Aquaria has a Trio Right now in Divers Den I think they are neat looking fish...

Hello everyone, so I bought a pair of cardinal fish and one is doing great eating looking good but the other stopped eating. That began when I loaded my tank up with some pods.

Hey Guys, one of my blue damsels has been sick the past 24 hours and is only getting worse. The pair has been getting along fine for the past month and both have their own caves which is why I attributed the fins being injured to my gyre flow. I took out the wave maker and replaced it with...

The Background: I recently acquired a female leopard wrasse from my trusted lfs. I have researched and talked with people who work at my lfs who keep them. I trust a few of them in there and have and will tell me to stay away from certain fish that doesn’t bode well for my set up. I have...

Okay, y'all is the fish naming curse real?! Years ago when I was first getting into reefing I had a fish store owner tell me that if I named my fish they were doomed to die. He told me any time he named a fish something would happen to it- he told me a stories like how he came in and somehow...

So I introduced a leopard wrasse into my 90 gal tank a week ago. I have a blue hippo tang and flame fin Tomini tang already in the tank already and they seem to bully the leopard wrasse. Will this stop eventually? I feed 2 times a day and probably over feed a little so I don’t think food is an...

Hey everyone I’m due to add another fish (or 2) to the tank but I’m really struggling. I have a fire fish which is extremely peaceful so was put off clowns as I don’t want them to bother him and a lot of people have said clowns will turn aggressive as they mature. I also really like the...
