They love to hangout together

They are always together

Hi guys, Background: So I got an archer 1.5 years ago, was about 7cm at the time. Obviously the pet shop has them all in fresh. I just immediately put him in my marine tank, and he was doing well until the various damsels I have started really harassing him. He had big open wounds on his side...

I wasnt sure what heading to use for this question so I just put all the keywords in there. I have done research online but haven't found anything to be a solid enough answer. 3 Questions in short: - Is Saltwater Nitrifying Bacteria (SNB) exactly the same bacteria as found in Brackish water...

Hi Guys, I have had a marine molly community for a week now. I have kept other fancy marine fish, corals, anemones before, but decided to sell everything and just do some something simple and easy. Tank is 150L. Lights are cheap 2 USD each LEDS. Using a canister filter (sunsun304B, 2000LPH)...

Hi. Long time lurker, first time poster. I have a lot of experience in freshwater aquaria, and recently I've been very tempted to try salt. I found a nice 45g cube-styled aquarium on LiveAquaria, measuring 26.5" x 22" x 19". Can't post a link because this is my first post, but it has a...

It had just gone lights out and my Anemone and clowns are bedding down for the night.

Hi guys, Got a new Clarkii clown a few days ago and he immediately bonded with my anemone after only a couple of hours. I have two ocellaris clowns that have been there for months, but never taken or shown interest in my anemones. Apart from the above anemone I also have a bubble tip. Tank...

So about 10 days ago I got my first BTA. I planned to get one later this year and start an anemone tank, but the opportunity came by sooner and I got it on a little bit of an impulse. So I purchased it, got home in the evening and added him into the tank. Watched him a little until it was...

Hi Guys, I was hoping to get an ID on these fish that are always at the beach here so I can research more on them. I can say they behave very much like the Geophagus genus of freshwater fish. Loving it when you disturb the sand for them to sift through. The water is always saturated with...

The other day I decided to take my Nokia and try filming a little where I swim, Just to show you some of what I saw under the waves, just off the beach (about waist height)., hoping to get some fish IDs of fish I don't know the names off. Beach is your standard Dubai gulf beach, and for the...

Does anyone else enjoy having their hands cleaned by their cleaner shrimp? When they see me approach the tank they move to hang around the filter area where my hand usually goes in. Waiting to clean my hands. Do you think they would get much nutrition from this? I was wondering if rubbing sand...

From reading I’ve been doing, it’s a smaller version of the violet goby that’s able to tolerate freshwater better but does not tolerate full marine setups as well. Seems like each species is pretty similar looking or the image search is only revealing gobioides broussonnetii. If you’ve had the...

Its been aong time but im back to have another try, I've kept a Toby puffer in the most recently in the past but donated it to Maidenhead aquatics over 2 years ago. I'm planning to set up a small marine fish only with live rock tank. Hopefully will have the tank tomorrow then I can start the...

I am just now setting up my freshwater tank and have never really had a thing for marine but I love lionfish and puffers, I recently learned that there's such thing as a dwarf lionfish and was wondering how much goes into a saltwater tank? Because I was thinking about getting a 20 gallon later...
