I use frozen krill and hang them from the lip of the top brace. Since they're normally in a "U" shape I just lower the water line a couple inches and they usually shoot them down. Very fun to watch.

Mealworms are good for beardies, but sometimes giving them too much can cause digestive issues - I assume because of their carapace. Unfortunately I think, as far as babies go, crickets really are ideal. When they get a body length of about 4 inches (not including head or tail) you could...

yeah those are really pretty, I wish those are what I got. They're still really nice, the majanos... just can't put any coral with em :)

Thanks, I've found that out (moving them). The large ones literally just cling to your finger once you pick them up. They don't seem to mind the ride. I really don't have any other coral in the tank, or anything like that. All that's in there is a mantis shrimp, and a damsel. How do you...

Hello all, Quick question. I was given a small piece of live rock from a friend with what was thought to be green zoo polyps. The more I do research on them, however, the more I think they look like whats called Majano anemones... but brightly colored. The shape looks exactly like a majano...

Yeah I got DT's phytoplanton for the corals. I just also picked up 20watt coralife 50/50 bulb. I had checked my parameters and they had checked out fine... 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, ph at 8.0 (a little lower than I wanted). I got some more free coral, two small shrooms - which are now in the...

Pics to be uploaded when the tanks a little less foggy (added some more lr). Ok, so, now there is approx. 7lbs of live rock in the tank. Some already is growing stiff, stringy algae as well as nice purple coraline growth. As for filtration I picked up Marineland Duetto 50 power filter. It was...

Thanks a ton for the info. I'll try to post some pics of the little guy soon. To give an update, my 5gal now has about 5lbs of fully cured live rock, and is at 1.022. To help with the cycling process I added some bio spira. Tomorrow I will look to get a cool 5-10lb bag of live sand for the...

Hey guys, potential stupid question. I just started a 5gal tank for a very small mantis shrimp I picked up from some live rock at my lfs. I put a small half pound of live rock in the tank to help cycle, and the water is at 1.019. But I have a filter question, for the time being, is it...

I would start raising the salinity a bit, to 1.004-.006 for now, and dosing with aquarium salt and melafix. That should do the trick.

I think the problem really comes from the fact not many people have studied it in the wild, therefore it's hard for us to know what to replicate in the home aquarium. I personally keep one in slightly brackish water, and even while he was in fresh he was ok. I've also gathered a whole host of...

First, as for the two gobies, they should be fine. Until the dragon goby gets REALLY large (nearing two feet) he shouldn't bother the knight goby. I have no experience with ones over 14" so I don't know if they then start swallowing small fish but I doubt it. As for salinity, yes they should...

Yeah Jason you're absolutely right, every time I see someone do the same thing I wanna kick myself for not being able to say just slow down and do it right ... and here I am doing the same exact thing. I definitely don't suggest doing it like I did - as a disclaimer. Pics will be up soon.

Yeah, I did definitely skip a few of the normal procedures I would have normally taken. I came home pretty late last night with him and decided to just stick him in the tank after a good soak (to get him a bit warmer). I did inspect him at the show, (although I may have been a little hazy...

I'm happy as heck :) I just picked up a beautiful Jungle Carpet Python from a reptile expo at a local community college. It was very very reasonably priced and I had to get it. Right now he's hanging out in the upper half of my 33 gallon tank. He's currently residing with my ball python...

Don't worry about it, just periodically check on him to make sure he's healthy. Mine didn't eat for nearly a month of two. Now he's back to eating well. It just happens. For some reason I guess they just fill up and go on strike for awhile.

Yeah I had the opposite, I had 3 mono Sebae, and got another couple Argentus, and the Mono A.'s dominated the tank.

That Japanese Dragon Fish - that's not it's name. It's a South American Dragon Goby, or Violet Goby. Found no where near Japan, at least not indigenous. It's a brackish water fish that is currently not bred for captivity, or at least I should say, in home aquariums - or very easily. Leopard...

It's adorable. Man I wish they weren't illegal here, I'd so own one.
