fish advice

So my tank is in the same room as my record player which I use quite frequently. Most of the records I play are louder punk records and was wondering if this could have a negative impact on the fish? I know fish are sensitive to sound in some capacity but is it something I should be worried...

I have an 11-month-old mixed reef BioCube 32 gal. I'm looking to add at least one more fish, but I'm very unsure of what to get. My current livestock members have lived together peacefully for at least six months now. I had a Purple-headed Firefish once, but the others ganged up on it and...

Does anyone have any Xenia or quick beginner corals they are trying to get rid of? I’m willing to drive a decent amount. I bought a bio cube with the stand for a 100 bucks on marketplace which was pretty wild. I’m stocking it rn, just looking for a first coral to hopefully cover the whole back...

Hey guys. I will be upgrading to a 6’ x 28”w x 26” h with external overflow sometime in the next 6 months and I’m doing my research on the 4 subspecies of tangs. I have mostly smaller fish now in my 60 galling but I overstock and probably have 15 to 20 fish in there. Most pretty small. I also...

I have a 32.5 gallon display tank with a 10 gallon sump (42.5 gallons all together). I’m looking to get a wrasse, but I can’t find one that would be good for my tank. I plan to have softie/lps coral, two clownfish, a tailspot Blenny, a royal gramma, a cleaner shrimp, and some snails and a conch...

So! I am currently in the process of upgrading my 40g to a 100g tank and my favorite fish I've kept so far is the longnose hawkfish. I just love them and I am excited to give my little buddy more room to glide. My question is, can more than 1 longnose hawkfish be kept in a tank? Specifically...

I plan on creating a LPS and Soft coral tank, maybe throwing in a couple SPS later on if it a successful tank. I am doing a lot of research, and have found many suitable tankmates, but I never know what to choose. What would be the best group of fish or type of fish to get (there will be a lot...

I have had the issue of my fish getting stuck in my filter. First it was my small ocellaris clownfish, so I attached a piece of fine mesh over the filter (I have a AIO filter from fiji cube) but yesterday I noticed my diamond goby was nowhere to be found. I looked in the filter and he was...

Hello everyone. We are about 1 month now into the hobby and made a list of fishes we would potentially like to have. We obviously know a lot of these we won't be able to get but would like your opinion on what we can or should not get, problems they may cause or alternatives. Now we do want to...
