In today's Taras Talks we take a deeper dive into seahorses, pipefish, and sea dragons! Taras gives us all the details on the adaptations, diets, and care requirements that make these fish an especially unique addition to the hobby and our oceans!
Got a topic you want Taras to talk about next...
I have an idea. If we local people have a thread here to discuss and share stuff, it would be great in case anyone needs immediate help or has something like livestock or spare equipment to share. Does anyone want to join me?
So i was gifted a bamboo shark egg from a friend and he finally hatched i currently got him in a 72”x36”x18 and just wanted to know how long would that last before having to upgrade to his forever home “600g”
My girlfriends Bella Goby has outgrown her tank and she needs to re-home it. The fish was quarantined and is very healthy and eating great. I'd guess she is probably 3 years old at this point and roughly 4.5". Local pick up only, in Ormond Beach.
Hello! I have a 12.5 gallon Fluval AIO that has been running stable for a few months now and I am looking to add some more to it. Currently there is a large almost palm size colony of palys that are spreading rapidly, an orange sea star that has been doing solid for a few months (fingers...
Hello,
I bought a coral beauty that was supposed to be treated in copper before purchasing. After about 4 hours of being in the tank and the lights went blue, I noticed it had ich on its body. Does this cause concern about it dropping off the fish? Is my tank now infected within such a short...
Good morning! Hope you're all doing well. I'm curious when buying a species of fish, why there's the option of what country it's from and why it differs in price. Are they generally more expensive the further they have to travel? Or is it a demand thing? Do they look different or behave...
I have a 36”x13”x18” tank that currently has a Randalls goby, some sort of red pistol shrimp, and two hermit crabs in it.
I have planned to add the following fish: royal gramma, and a mccoskers flasher wrasse.
I was wondering what a good fourth fish should be that would not be aggressive...
I'm setting up a 125g Corals + Larger Fish tank and i'm looking for some unique additions to add to the roster. During my research I ran into Zebrias fasciatus, which seems like a decent choice for a unique fish to add into that type of system. I have a few guesses on behavior (Fairly predatory...
Hey all, I’m ready to slowly start stocking my 75 gallon (48x18x24) in a couple weeks and am trying to put my stocking list and order together. Is everybody compatible? Will this be overstocking? I’ve got a 20 gallon sump and am starting a refugium with it.

I will probably be getting a 75 gallon sometimes this year and would like to know which fish and invertebrates that are good for a 75 gallon can live 10+ years
Breaks my heart to list this fish, but it is the largest in my overstocked 100 gal aquarium. I have owned it for a year and a half. It is approximately 6.5 inches long and would probably do best in a 200 gal aquarium or larger.
Very friendly fish. Will come up and greet whomever approaches...

For the past month, I added Invertebrates and fish to ank, and I believe it going good but with some hickups.
I first started added cleaners like Hermit Crabs and Trubo Snails. On May 31st, I added two Clowns. But the next night one of the clowns jump out, because I left cover off.
I later...
