Take the overflow for a ride was actually a tube siphon to make sure the return I was installing was working. I had a 1.25in id tube drawing water to the sump. It waited till I turned to check the water level in the sump, and whoomp... out he popped in the bottom. I haven't seen him ion the heater. ...

1) Your water parameters - pH, Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrates and salinity (if appropriate). This is by far the most important information you can provide! Do not answer this with "Fine" "Perfect" "ok", that tells us nothing. We need hard numbers. PH 8.3, Am -0 Nite-0, Nate...

Not too knowledgeable, likely just had good luck. I had a pair of GSP, one of which became a carpetfish when I had a fish sitter for a week.... Neither ate my corals. As stated previously and tube worm was game, and one rock which was loaded with them became toothpicks in a day. To date I have succe...

If you are dropping a sponge on it, and want to be sure he doesn't get stuck, make it a little larger sponge, and make sure it is large open pores. This will mean the same flow into the sponge, but it will be less flux/unit of surface area. If you know the gallons per hour of your tank you can figur...

It doesn't help when adult swim sees that, and starts running their bumps about it.... They ran one talking about fish being sea kittens, and thats why people shouldnt eat them....then said, it had just made them curious about trying "land fish". Could you post a copy of the letter? It app...

Yea, i am assuming that was the case as well.

I am betting that when I fed it, the nem took a piece of the food, and he didn't think that the new guy should eat his food.

All is well now. Nem is no longer in with him.

As was stated above, keeping game fish (in Wisc.) doesn't work out so well. However, if the rules are similar to here, I have seen folks go through a fisheree (spelling?) to get fish that aren't wild, but are game fish. I know guys that have stocked their own ponds this way so htat folks weren't all...

Yes it means ok, I hit the wrong key. Also, as to the poo, I have a small cleaning crew in my tank, which removes a majority of the poo... added epsom salt, appears to have better coloration. Could the addition of the skimmer (additional noise) have been a factor in its stress, the color is coming b...

kk.


Also, the bleached one appears to have an enlarged anus.

I have a pair of GSP. Water Parameters are Am = 0 Nitrite = 0 Nitrate = 5~10 Sg = 1.023 Recent changes = added a protien skimmer Also added an anemone (long tent) which recently managed to get caught in the filter intake. Also seen a cyano bloom recently. been using a baster to suck it off the rocks...

My apologies on the incorrect identifications, I read the pedia, and guessed based on what I saw.

Thanks to all for the correction! Learned something new!

If your journey is going to take 4-5 days, this may not work out for you, but when I moved I placed my pair in a 5 gal pail, dropped an oxy tab in it and dropped a cover on it. I cheated a bit and kept the sand in my tank with just enough water on it to be sure that it wasn't going to loose all its ...

Thank you for this thread. I have seen them on my gsp's and never questioned it, just called them eyebrows.

As a personal experience, my two GSP's have grown from about 1" and 1.25" to about 2.25 and 2.5 respectively. in the six months I have had them. However in the past month is when the majority of growth seems to have come on, I bumped them up to a 55 gallon tank from their 29 and at least b...

as with any medication, do I need to remove carbon filtration?
