Can you save my Sea Anemone?

Posted on January 20, 2011 by admin| 2 Comments

I’ve had my bubble tip anemone for a couple of weeks now and I don’t know if he’s getting better or worse. I have him under 192 watts of power compact lighting. He’s not eating and his “lips” around his mouth is always swollen. All the water parameters are ideal. (pH, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, calcium, iodine). He looks kinda bleached. I was wondering if I should keep the lighting on 24-7 so it would encourage the zooxanthellae algae to grow back inside him?
the guy at the pet store told me to buy food for filter feeders to feed him. I know you’re supposed to feed anemones pieces of fish or shrimp. does anyone else feed their anemones food meant for filter feeders? does anyone have any suggestions?
to reptileking: dt’s live phytoplankton… what does the “dt” stand for? thanks!

Is this a good community fish tank setup?

Posted on October 31, 2010 by admin| Leave a comment

I will be getting a 30 gallon tank in a couple of weeks and am planning on putting together a freshwater,community,fish tank.I’ve done some research and some planning and I’ve decided that this is what I will put in it.

- 2 Silver Dollar Fish
- 6 Cherry Barbs
- 4 Harlequin Rasbora
- 3 Kuhli Loaches
- 5 Red Cheery Shrimp

Any opinions,suggestions,or comments will be encouraged and greatly appreciated as this will be my first community fish tank.
Also,I was a little worried about my shrimp getting eaten but I did some research and it seems like all of the fish that will be in the tank with them either don’t eat meat, or are to small to eat them.I’m still a little worried about it though.Do you think there is any chance of them getting eaten?
Thank you experienced fish owners!

My boyfriend just bought a 55gallon tank, what sort of freshwater fish will be the most entertaining to have?

Posted on October 4, 2010 by admin| 10 Comments

I mean, any fish is entertaining…he is a beginner “aquariaist” who would like to know what sort of fish to put in his new 55gallon tank. Along with that, we also have 2 other smaller tanks. So far he has a couple glowfish, several ghost shrimp, 2 mickey mouse fish. and a dragonfish goby in a seperate tank.

I was wondering what sort of fish I could get him for the 55gal tank that would get along well with the dragon goby, because they are supposed to get pretty large. We were thinking some angel fish, but we would like them to be freshwater fish, because we are only beginners. We may move on to saltwater fish later when we are more experienced. But just throw some ideas in the air for us, because we are clueless as to what kind of fish to get, thanks!

What is a good center piece fish for a 29 gallon freshwater tank?

Posted on September 28, 2010 by admin| 5 Comments

I have decided to go with sword tails, tetras and a couple of ghost shrimp and two clown loaches. I was wondering if I even had enough room for a nice center piece fish.
