fish advice

Hello! This is my first saltwater tank so I'm very new to everything, but I picked up my first clownfish a couple days ago and now he only stays on the left side of the tank or up by the entrance to the overflow. He even sleeps wedged between the corner of the tank! He pretty small and is a very...

I got a new small blue hippo tang 8/21/23. it was be hide the rocks hanging out with my cleaner shrimp and eating on Sunday the 22nd. Then it just disappeared. I did see it hiding in the rocks Saturday 8/28/23 but I have seen it since nor is it coming out to eat. I know that they can fit into...

Hi, hope you all are having a fantastic day! I just finished cycling my brand new Waterbox Marine x 110.4 dimensions (47.2" x 19.7" x 21.7"), 80 gallon, and I'm finally ready for fish!!! I have been doing research, and came up with a solid list of fish that I want to add over the course of many...

Hi, I’ve had this Vlamingi Tang for a couple months now and he has been a family favorite. He is super friendly, eats aggressively, gets along with tank mates (Invited my Vampire Tang to school with him and other fish after a day), and overall a super great fish. He has never shown any negative...

What advice have you picked up along the way that doesn't seem to be common knowledge, but may be worth sharing? It could be random theories or something you know actually works. I stopped by the local coral shop late yesterday and got some interesting insight on coral keeping that I hadn't...

Hi, I have a Fluval Evo 5. The tank has been running for about 6-7 months now, absolutely no issues until now. I had a pike blenny and a elongate dottyback (too small of a tank and overstocked, I know, was planning on moving them to a 16 gallon) until both vanished one day. I pulled apart the...

Hello all! I wanted input on my stock list for fish for my 100 G tank. Details: 100 G tank (quarter circle, think Hershey kiss shaped), 30 gallon sump. FOWLR. This was an established tank we bought and it came with some fish (a few passed from disease and we rehomed some as we didn’t have...

Can Someone tell me what’s the requirements to keep a remora and like if there a hardy species?

I started noticing white blocked on my dottyback he’s active and eating. Anyone have an idea of what’s going on?

I don't have the means to quarantine fish myself and I was looking unto places to quarantine. People local to me say that all online places have lots of problems and was wondering if that was true and what places people recommend.

i just discovered that green puffers need saltwater and i'm not sure if the clown loaches would be fine living with them

I have a blue spot jawfish in my 50 gal lps / softies tank and he lives in this little rock hut we built him and he pokes his head out. Sometimes he gets discoloured on his underside in small patches which we thought was because of him scratching himself on the rocks but this time his entire...

Hi all, Not sure what’s going on with my clown fish he’s been acting strange lately breathing heavy laying in the sand and hanging out by the filter but eatting normal. Recently noticed some spots on his face and gills. The tanks been going now for two months and my water levels have been...

Hey guys, So yesterday morning my trigger was fine, ate like a pig, everything normal. Last night it jumped out of the tank and managed to land on top of my tank cover, it was out for a few seconds before I heard it and put him back in. He proceeded to try to have his mouth out the water kinda...

I got sent this video, and it looks like this guy is saying there are saltwater pea puffers??? In this video skip to 3:09 Real or BS?

Hello reefkeepers! I'd like to keep a group of these cardinals in a community tank in the future. I want to keep a grup of three or a pair( i hope i get a male and female and they don't just kill each other). I will try to breed them to get a bigger school so they're not super skittish. Is it...

I have a 50 gallon tank 48" long 18" wide. I was wondering if there is a school of 4 anthias I could keep in there. Also some advice for keeping them. If there are any other interesting schooling fish that are compatible with my size reef tank I am up for suggestions.

Hello Everyone I just wanted to get your thoughts on this clownfish pair that host the corner of the tank, they have been wiggling together a lot and it seems the male has also started chasing the female a lot these past 24 hours , do you think they might be getting ready to have babies ? If so...

New to the hobby, started a innovative marine fusion 15 nano reef. The tank has been running just over a month now. Since the tank cycled and I added a pair of clown fish which have been doing great and the levels in the tank have been holding great for two weeks now. My plan for this tank is to...

Here are two pictures of the current stock list please let me know all your thoughts on these and if there are any other cool fish you would add or any to take off!

Hey everyone! As the post says, I’m looking for a couple unique fish to finish off my stock list for my 180 gallon Planet Aquarium. Total volume is around 235 gallons. I understand some people may think I already have “alot” but honestly…my NSA rockwork, oversized skimmer, filtration, UV, etc...

Hello, I am thinking of adding these three wrasses to my 119 gallon tank: Melanarus Earmuff Yellow Coris will these three get along? Additionally I have heard the melanarus is particularly bad about going after CuC. Would there be a better alternative to this one to add with the other two...

Hello! I currently have a reef tank with mostly soft corals (zoas, toadstools, mushrooms) and plan to add more. I would like some opinions of good fish to add as I am struggling to determine good peaceful options. I am considering adding a foxface, cardinal fish, and wrasses. Are there any...

So I had a pair of Snow Onyx clownfish and one died (No noticeable injury or anything, parameters are fine, and the other fish are doing great). Let’s say I can’t find another snow onyx, since it is a ocellaris/percula hybrid would another ocellaris work?

Wonder if anyone is having the same issue as me with mollies in saltwater. I have a lagoon that is kept under a lil 1.025 since its fish only with mushrooms. I added mollies few months back and realised every male has died. Only the females are alive. Sailfins, balloons and the smaller black...
