That shell was scrubbed after they ate, I noticed that they would swim by and bite the shells so I just scrubbed them and leave them in the tank for about a week. I do stir up the sand before my wc and my dragon goby also helps with sand stirring.

Ok I think I got a good picture of the beak, it's Chunky in the pic, Nibbler was camera shy lol.

So has anyone done a beak trimming on a gsp with no meds to make it sleepy?? I read that you could do it quickly under water with nail clippers and the net??

Ok sorry I haven't posted in a bit, this cold has been kicking my butt. I was mistaken before about both of their beaks, I think they need to be trimmed down. I took a much closer look this morining and I'm pretty sure a beak trim is needed for both. I cant seem to get a good pic of them though :( I...

I've tried to feed them snails and they were never interested i gave them small ones nogger than their eyes and they didn't touch em. I did take a look at their beaks and they look ok, they do bite at the food i give them and take chunks off.

That's the problem, I can't seem to see why he's acting wierd. Im gonna try to do another good wc today, I'll have to see how Im feeling later got a nasty head cold Ill do the wc and test again. Maybe I'll feed him a scallop and see what happens.

I freeze the clams when I buy them fresh from the store to kill off anything bad, and feed frozen blood worms on occasion. What kind of Jungle fizz tabs?? Are those the ones where I could just drop it in the tank or do they just get soaked in food?

He doesn't seem to mind the other fish, there are no bite marks on fins and I haven't seen the other fish chase him. My puffs are about 3 in and the other fish are about the same siz and 2 fish are about 2 inchs. Ive had them all for about a year would they still get IP's after this long, or would i...

No one has any ideas as to whats going on? (

1) Ammonia 0, Nitrates under 10, Nitrites 0 and salinity 1.023 - 1.024 2) 50g, 2 clown fish, a dragon goby and a lawn mower blenny. I also have a protien skimmer along with filters to. 3) I feed them every 2 nd day either some shrimp or clam, and sometimes I'll toss in some blood worms. I do a 20% w...

All is going great now, I do have some turbo snails in ther 55g and in my 70 AC I have some cheato (spelling not sure lol) Its now fully cycled and looking good. I added a few corals from our local frag fest in town and I can't wait till they all get bigger

I do have a magneflot cleaner in there, its on some of the rocks and the glass, but it looks like its goin away slowly

How long will my brown algae bloom last? Its in my 55g salt water tank that has just finished cycling. I know it does go away because i had a bllom in my 45g salt water tank in the beginning just can't remember how long it lasts before its gone.

Well all is going great with the 55g :) I tested the water and as of today its at, Ammonia 0ppm, Nitrites 1ppm and Nitrates 10ppm The nitrites have started to go down, they were over 5ppm a few days ago and they are now at 1ppm! I got my lights, and WOW the tank looks amazing, although there are no ...

Quick question, is there any way to help speen my 55g cycle along?
Im just waiting for the nitrites to come down. I have 0 ammonia and 10 ppm nitrates. I'm gonna be getting the lighting set up this weekend and would love to tranfer everything in my 10g nano to its new home.
