im startting a marine tank with research?

Posted on May 12, 2012 by admin| 1 Comment

ive had my freshwater tank for about a year and its a 55gal but they used to be in a 30 gal, should i stick with that or up to a 40 gal. I am definitely getting at least 2 bangaii cardinals. im getting live sand and live rock, is live rock and coral the same thing, i dont think so but my dad does. im trying for a pistol shrimp and a black ray goby for the symbiosis effect, im sure they should all fit in their with a sea anemone. would these fish and anemone work out?
ok so no to the anemone, and im doing great with my other tanks and i didnt really ask anything about coral besides if it was the same as live rock, which i already knew it wasnt =P looks like im done with that extra months worth

What fish like shrimp?

Posted on May 9, 2012 by admin| 3 Comments

Is there any commercially sold carnivorous fish? I don’t want a big fish but like almost guppy sized fish (little bigger) that will eat shrimp. Specifically the little shrimp in the Can-O-Shrimp things where it’s like tiny (maybe freshwater) shrimp. I’m not limited to basic pet shops like Petco, I know of a place that sells more exotic fish and like eels and stuff.

Saltwater conversion?

Posted on May 8, 2012 by admin| 4 Comments

So i had a 10gallon freshwater tank with 2 fishes.
My parents decided to buy me fishes without telling me.
They got me 2 baby clownfish and a cleaner shrimp.
I couldn’t resist so i went and got instant ocean.
I cleaned EVERYTHING.
Now i have a bacteria bloom in my tank.
I decided to let the cleaner shrimp in.
The 2 baby clown fish are in the plastic bag, its opened but its floating in the water

I was thinking ill just leave them in the bag floating on the top of the tank till things stabilize and ill just feed them in there.
Will they survive in bag or do i need to add water etc?
