10gallon Stocking

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
well things like clownfish or six line wrasses etc are like $20 around me.. so that's what i was going off of.. if i remember correctly stuff is ALOT cheaper by you
 
Yes because the black market in Hong Kong really makes a difference with SW fish. Trying to pawn off fake gucci bags and clownfish are 2 different things.

Can someone say random and unwarranted?

Dude, I think most things are. How much do Tomato Clowns cost? They cost $5 USD ($40 HKD) here, if I remember correctly.

Tetraodon puffers only cost $7.5 USD or maybe $10 max price.
Flame Angels: Exactly $37.5 USD.

But you surprised me by telling me you wouldn't even pay $1.25 for a 3stripe damsel...

By the way, how much does LR cost? I don't know where the shop's is from but its at $3.5 USD per lb. Is it worth my money? I don't know if it's cured or not (because I can't tell) but the huge tub full of LR has like filefish zipping in and out of the cracks and even a FW guppy :(

Black market? It's pretty low profile here actually...
Only a total ass would want to pawn off a clownfish...:D

Lol unwarranted but only slighty random

I'm also changing my filters...Imma wash out my FW 10g's filter and put it on the SW 10g, so it's double. Then I'm going to get a frigging 40 gallon filter for my FW 10 gal...the idiot fish produce more poop than a full grown turtle. I constantly get a syringe, press it against the filter sponge and suck out some of the stuff in it, which declogs the filter and I can use the brown stuff to water my plants.
 
tomatos by me are $20-25 US
tetraodon is a genus, no? their price should vary by species.. availability and what not
flame angel are like $60-70 US

LR should cost somewhere between $4 and 12 US. around me it generally goes for $7-11 US most fo the quality if pretty good, but then again i only frequent the good stores

i wouldn't pay $1 for a three stripe damsels cause three stipes suck :D

could you double up the filters on the FW and get the 40 for the SW?
you can just ring out the sponge in a bowl/bucket of tank water.. that way it gets a little cleaner and there's more water for the plants ;)

Like um...one of the two...umm...common types... the smaller one of the two that look similar...(I wouldn't be talking BS like this in the FW section)

Heres an off topic question: (well actually its on topic becuase this is like, my SW rescue-by BIGgourami, skene and unannon thread)
 
what's the question lol..

the clowns im guessing you're thinking of are occelaris and/or perculas?
same price, by me anyhow..
 
Eh I meant "the smaller one of the two that look similar" for the Tetraodon puffers I was trying unsuccessfully to explain about... haha

I have two clarkii's (I think they are clarkii's) which are completing the cycle because the 3stripe jumped.

I forgot the offtopic question...

But I got 4 lbs (only 4) of LR for $3.5 a pound. The people said it was from Indonesia, only after I asked repeatedly.

Two minutes after submersion into my aquarium, a bristleworm came out. It didn't look dentrivorous to me because it had pincer jaws...it was 2" long. I put it in a breeder box but it escaped. Should I be worried about it?

I also saw a little mini crayfish like thing that was only 0.5 cm long, and was pale all over.

I have some huge-like things on my LR. They are flexible and are red near the base and white near the top. They have a stem attaching them to the LR, and they branch out. All of these branches are tubes...my snails and hermits are crawling all over the rock eating stuff. Should I let them, or should i separate them because I actually want hitchhikers...
 
Ammonia 0.3
I have the Hagen Nutrafin test kit. I added the reagents in the wrong order. Does this make a difference?
 
that might make up the .3 difference.. what were the nitrites? if it's a 2 reangent test i always go in order, dont know if it REALLY makes a difference, but, better safe than sorry..

not sure what's up with the puffers..

did you mean the valentini toby and the valentini mimic filefish?
either would be too big for a 10 gallon, as would a dwarf angel...

if you see the worm again try an nab him, the ones with the big azz jaws can be predatious on smaller fish

not sure what the tune things are, unless they are just feather dusters
