i havent looked at this one for a while but the stringy thing doesnt have a base like that. It retracts only when the light comes on and nothing is really stuck to it. It sometimes extends about 6 inches. Like i was saying it would have about 20 or 30 little strings off the side of it that...

There is a small pink crab i have been trying to track in my NC 12. He came in in a piece of live rock i got when i bought a Xenia. It is hard to get a picture of him becuase he only is really out at night. I saw him today for the first time longer than a second. He has a light pink shell, a...

That Cat Attack is awesome. I cna watch it over and over and over and over and over......funny.

Dropped off the Chromis. Bought some zoos and a new coral. I gotta take some shots soon. The tank is starting to look like something. until the next saga. Seeya Tony

The LFS is probably gonna give me 5-6 bucks each. I'm taking them over this morning. I was about ready to lose it the other night. I caught one of them in 5 hours. eventualy decided to give up and go back to it yesterday, with a plan. I set up buckets and move all the big live rock and...

Day 5 - VICTOIRE!!! VICTOIRE!!! You gotta have a plan. :soldiers The plan as to beat them by taking away their hidaway. Move the rocks to a second tank. tie off the escape and 1 by 1. Off to the LFS they go. :yippee Tony PS i hope this entertaining some one.!!!

DAY 4 - This is not as easy as it was in the trial runs. I found two hitch hiker crabs while trying to "fish" my chomis out from the live rock. Caught one of them. He is in the fuge right now. These guys are as bad as the Damsel Disaster I had a while back. The Blenny is helping me though...

That is a great shot. What kind of camera did you use? Tony :shock:

Day 2 - I am trying my best to be patient but it is hard when they re so clost to the net and hen you try and get them and they are sooooooooo fast....I should have taken them out when i caught them a while back. They are smart. Why is it that the cheapest fish are the most resilient and you...

Surprisingly ive had very good luck on a couple of trial runs. I think they are used to the net and think im putting in food. Little do they know. ill miss the guys but they eat too much and dont do much else. Thanks for the info. TOny

I did a huge water change (double than normal) this weekend to try and rejunvenate things and there was a marked increase and improvement with pretty much everything in the tank. The Anemone has started getting its colour back and the fish seem to be a little more lively. I dont know why but...

I have a few Chromis which were really cheap and are really nice to look at if I want to see blue then green and the then blue, but they are eating most of the food I put in my tank and are taking up the valueble space. I would love to use the space to get other fish for the tank. Is it a bad...

I think it scared her when i was doing to water change and then she couldn't hang on to all the babies. There are still some there. I might try and get her in to a separate container in there so that if she does release the babies again i might be able to get some to survive. We'll see. But...

:shock:

Well i've read that certain salt water fish and inverts can spawn in an aquarium but i never imagined it would happen in mine. I was doing my weekly water change and then My cleaner shrimp in my 12 g had about a million little offspring about half an hour ago. They didnt seem to last long as...

Yeah i was saying the same thing.....$65 a gallon.?????? I know this hobby is expensive but holy crap!!!!!! This water better make the fish do thier own water change... Anyhow, they dont sell these brands up here in Canada. Anyplace online? Tony

Was it an amphipod? I was freaked out when i saw one for the first time. Sometimes my wrasse will catch them and eat them. Some of them are really tiny but others can get to be about 1/2 inch long. They really come out at night. you are going to notice a cyle that over time different little...

Thanks. I was looking at one of those Fission skimmers. They are pretty cheap. But you get what you pay for right? Are skimmers entirely neccessary? ive heard mixed opinions. Tony

It could have been an amphipod. They are good. they look kind of like little shrimp. try this link. it has some in there. http://www.xtalworld.com/Aquarium/hitchfaq.htm Tony :-)

i would avoid the anemone in a small tank as well. i made the mistake in my 12g and it was all over everyone. I would also wait. Most anemones need a tank that has been up and running for at least 4 months. even longer. just my 2 cents TOny
