new fish

I’ve officially gotten to the point where the nutrient consumption in my system outweighs what is produced by the animals, so I’m thinking about finally adding one more medium sized fish to accommodate that. The tank is a 48x18x24 90g mixed reef with lots of rock and a roughly 4” deep sand bed...

Hi all, I have set up a 326l reef tank (Approx 85G) with a 55l sump. I am currently planning my stocking list, there seems to be alot of different information and opinions on this subject regarding the amount of stock, and what I can stock in terms of larger fish. The dimensions are 120cm x...

Hi, Looking for advice on a good fish to add as my final fish for the tank. 28 gallon, 2 months old. 2 Ocellaris Midas blenny Yasha Goby + Candy pistol shrimp. Would like something that is in the water column a lot as the blenny and goby spend a lot of time in their rock burrows (goby is new so...

I got these 2 male clowns on Sunday as a mismatch pair, I’ve had this tank running for a couple months now and it’s all up to date with water conditions, light and temp. These are my Fiset clownfish and fist saltwater tank, so I’m very nervous and worry about anything with this tank. the black...

just got my white-tail bristle tooth ! it said online that it was pre-quarantined, so I assumed it would only need observation qt. but i’m seeing white flecks in the shipping bag as i’m acclimating to temp ? there are no white dots or lesions at all on the fish and it’s already regained a lot of...

First I want to apologize if this is on the wrong part of the site. So, as I think many people have done, I bought a Green spotted puffer or leopard puffer from a local shop under the impression he'd be a freshwater fish, but after doing more research than the quick 2 minutes on Google before...

Hey everyone I’m due to add another fish (or 2) to the tank but I’m really struggling. I have a fire fish which is extremely peaceful so was put off clowns as I don’t want them to bother him and a lot of people have said clowns will turn aggressive as they mature. I also really like the...

Help! I brought home my pygmy waspfish a couple hours ago, acclimated him, and put him into the tank where he ran around a bit at first, and then laid down in the corner and half way buried himself in the sand. I work at the lfs he’s from and I’ve been target feeding him and building trust for...

Any experience with tilting at bottom tank? Our little clown swims in spot a lot and keeps tilting over? He is only with us two full days now. The first day was a little rough, we did the fish in cycle with Fritz turbo 900 & stress guard, with a hour acclimation (last time in-cycle!). We did a...

Hi so I bought a male mccosker's flasher on Sunday 3rd from my lfs. Looked great in the shop. Did my normal acclimatisation and added it to the tank. It right away went down and hid under a rock and stayed there until the next morning. In the afternoon it was gone and I couldn’t see it anywhere...
