Looking for suggestions on transporting approximately 15 new fish via car on a 1.5 hour drive. The fish are a mix of mainly tangs, a few clowns, and a few small misc. I really wasn’t trying to have an entire car full of Homer buckets in the back seat with individual portable airstones. The...

my tang population of 5 was reduced to 1 while on vacation a year ago. The tank was cared for by somebody experienced while I was gone, so it wasn’t neglect. I still don’t know how or why 4 suddenly died all together. The lone survivor was my purple tang, which immediately took the dominant role...

I’m thinking once my fish are out of qt getting a mimic to go with them. Will a mimic and white tail get along if there good amount of hiding spots?

I never knew this was a thing until I just experienced it. My PBT is nipping the heads off a couple Goni's and a Hammer. Searches in this forum and elsewhere reveal a surprising number of people having gone through this with multiple Tang species including the PBT. It has been with me >3...

I bought a blue eye tang about 10 days ago and put it in my 50g lagoon while i was preparing space to set up a 120g wide(4x3x1.5) lagoon to replace the 50g one so i can keep a tang or two. Yesterday i made the switch over to the 120g and put the tang and other fish in there. The tang didnt pace...

I have a 125g with 4 clowns, yellow watchman, powder blue tang, and a purple tang. I just added a multicolor angelfish about less than an hour ago and it's getting picked on by both tangs. I've had a dwarf angelfish and tangs together before, but this never happened. I turned on the blue light...

Hi, I have been a freshwater fishkeeper for more than 8 years. But I have recently started a saltwater system. Prior to purchasing my first saltwater tank, I did as much research as possible (about a year long). And talked to a lot of experienced reef tank owners. Then when the time came, I set...

This is going to be a multi-part question... My husband went to our LFS a couple of weeks ago and brought home a powder blue and a powder brown tang.. The powder blue is a little smaller than the brown. The LFS owner had told him that she had never had any issues with the two together as long...

The stuff is hard to get and for Pennie’s on the dollar and am récidivons them tomorrow. Please let me know your thoughts! I’m sharing pic tu res of...

Ive spoke with my LFS and they said these lists look great, here is my list for my 310 gallon My question is what order should I add them? I have a good idea but want opinions. Will likely add in groups but can do singles here and there if needed. List of possibilities- Yellow Tang, Blue...

I got a purple tang close to 3 weeks ago and he hardly comes out of the caves I have in the tank. He comes out to grab nori off the clip or to swim from cave to cave. At first I thought it was because he was new to the tank but considering it's nearing 3 weeks it doesn't seem like that is the...

I have a 120 gallon FOWLR tank and it's 6 feet long. I have live rock with quite a few caves! I love purple tangs so much, but I love powder blues as well. They would be the only big fish in the tank as I only have 4 clownfish and a yellow watchman with plans to get a midas blenny and some kind...

I am looking around to find the best Qt service for a few fish that I would like to purchase. Who is the best in the industry?

I have had saltwater/reef tanks going back into my teens in the mid 90’s. I took a year off in 2001 and started again. Took 10 years off and restarted in December 2022, so everything changed. I’m now full time home and not working 60+ hours a week. I started in December buying a 32 gallon...

I’m brand new to the hobby starting this past Nov. I’ve recently been battling a velvet outbreak in my tank after doing everything I could to prevent it, buying QT fish or observing for 30 days myself. Anyway, some of the fish appear to be doing great except the foxface tail is a little reddish...

Interested to hear everyone’s wishlist on captive bred fish. Hopefully we can start a heated discussion and eventually a poll to help inform our beloved captive breeding facilities where to focus next. here is a list of my own, most of them Hawaiian simply due to the fact of unavailability...

New question which surgeon fish is best at eating algae off the rocks in the aquarium any recommendations ?

Hi all, I have a 3x2x20” reef that has some persistent turf algae. I have a one spot foxface that occasionally eats some but not enough to make a dent. Other current fish include 2 clowns, a melanaurus wrasse, a flame hawk, and 5 small chromis. My nutrients are very low now, with nitrates...
