new fish

Hi, I've added 2 cardinals to my 450L tank, they have been in there since Saturday, and this AM I noticed that one was looking a little raged. Now I've watched fish A attacking (the now raggedy) fish B. What should I do? They are all that is in there atm, will this stop once pecking order is...

Have had this tang in quarantine for a few weeks now yesterday I noticed one little spot on it that looked like a scrape now today it looks like this. Any help would be appreciated so I can get this guy fixed up. Ammonia 0 ppm Nitrite 0 ppm Nitrate 10 ppm Salinity 1.024 Ph 7.9

Hi All! This is my first post; I’ve got the tank up and running and it has been cycling for the past 2 weeks, its only resident a now delightfully bloated (dead) prawn.... and some Dr Tim’s. The tank size is 450l and I'd like people’s recommendations on what order to add the below fish in. They...

I recently purchased an ORA Snowstorm clown. It seemed to have an issue with its swim bladder upon arrival (not being able to stay buoyant) but after the first 24 hours that had gone away. Immediately upon introduction it paired with the ocellaris I had in my tank (the only fish at this point)...

I traded some frags to my LFS and used the credit to get a new fish. (Currently I have a 6-Line wrasse, coral beauty angel and a black clown in 30g tank). I picked up a platinum clown. I asked the guy how he think she'd do with my black clown I have had for a year and he said as long as the...

Hi everyone, getting my Reefer 750 (160 gallons) tank soon and planning for it to be a FOWLR tank! Here's my fish wish-list below, anyone suggestion anything else I can add? Looking for lots of color and a variety of species! Fish Banggai Cardinal Fish Lawnmower Blenny Blue Reef Chromis...

I am in the cycling phase of my Red Sea Reefer XXL 750. While not a monster, it is 200 system gallons and should be able to support a few tangs. While I sit and daydream of my stock list, reading how to do it right, I see over and over again that one should add all of the tangs at the same time...

Hi everyone, I'm looking to get the Reefer 625 XXL which is a 132 gallon tank (not including the additional gallons in the sump). I'm putting together a wishlist of fish I want to include (fish only tank with live rock), but I'm not sure if I have too many fish/invertibrates: Cardinal fish...

My fireplace insert saltwater fish tank is 20 gallons. And I’m pretty happy with having corals and only a Pinnatus batfish. What’s your opinions on this.

Hey everyone! I’ve got a 29 gallon (I’ll add pics) all-in-one aqua top cube. I’ve got two clowns, a watchman goby that I never see, two snails, and three small pieces of coral. Does anyone have any suggestions for new additions to the tank? Try to keep them on the easy side since I’m just...

basically I’m looking to add a active swimmer to my 33g tank 120L I’ve thought of a coral beauty but there is various tank sizes that people say they need some smaller some bigger than my tank?

Got a new Coral Beauty Friday evening and I broke every cardinal new fish rule that reefers follow and I’ve learned my lesson. Idiot mistake #1 - Fish had just been received the day prior and I asked to see it feed. They put some mysis in and the CB went after it with gusto but immediately spit...

Mornin' folks! Yesterday I went to the LFS to check out their new shipment of fish. This shipment came from a new wholesaler who apparently got mixed up with a few fish and critters they sent out. I found this goby, the only of it's kind in the store, and for some reason I was curious about...

Hello All - I am in the process of beginning a brand new tank - my old Red Sea Reefer 350. I unfortunately experienced my first tank crash due to an alkalinity spike and high nutrients when I returned home from a two week vacation. Therefore, I am starting over with new sand/rock and the...

So I have gone and done some research on a few fish and was wondering if this group would fit fine in a 55-gallon aquarium comfortably. I am fully aware of the dangers of them and that there's going to be a huge bioload coming off of it! The fish I am looking to get are as follows... 1...

Hi guys, how is it going? So I’ve just added a Royal Gramma Basslet and a Tailspot Blenny to my Innovative Marine 30L tank. And they both keep hiding. The blenny I haven’t seen since, but the royal gramma keeps coming out evreytime I turn off the pump. So when the water is still it will come...

Hello everyone, how is it going? I’ve been thinking about adding some new fish to my tank and was thinking about the Mandarin Goby, I know it’s a hard fish to keep and eats almost exclusively copapods, but I was wondering if I could make it. I currently have a Fish Only 20 Gallon tank, and plan...

Hi guys, I’ve add a Basselet to my quarantine tank today and he has been very weird. He is just on one spot and nudging his body against the side of the tank, almost like he is scrathing his body. An idea of what it might be?

Now who do I adjust & which direction? Plan was to float new bags, match salinity & throw into QT, no drip acclimation. QT has been running about a week - no meds yet as I wanted to start everyone at the same time once they were all eating well. Fish in there from LiveAquaria who showed up...

hi everyone, Just wanted to get opinions or experiences w using cupramine during qt period of 3-4 weeks of certain fish. Ive had good exp w it and no issues w the fish i have but ive heard certain dwarf angels like the flame is more sensitive to copper. I am considering either the flame...

To those that don't have the budget (or time) to set up a QT , do you guys do a quick dip (not bath) to your new fish before putting them in the DT? Stress causes ich and by doing a freshwater dip, aren't we stressing the fish, hence promoting ich? Or am I missing the idea?

I'm setting up a new 90 gallon reef tank with a 30 gallon sump (protein skimmer, carbon and gfo reactors, refugium with chaetomorpha). Mixed reef, thinking mostly sps and lps and not sure what kind of reef safe fish to put in it. Here's what I m thinking so far: - Kole yellow eye tang -...

I would like to know is there an index for reef aquariums so I can go to different categories to look at animals to put in my tank (also would like description and stuff like whether it is reef safe and is it for beginners etc.)

Hello, I just recently purchased a flame Hawkfish from my LFS. I was wondering if my tank will need a hood? I read up a bit on these guys and some people have said that they are jumpers. Not sure how true this is but I just want some input. I'm currently running a 65gal red Sea with no lid...

I have a 2yr established 125 gal tank and I just got a kole tang for it. Drip acclimated it and then put it in a Q tank. It seems to be breathing a little fast. Other than that its acting normal as it is actively swimming around the tank and picking at rocks. Just wondering if things were ok. My...
