    Halichoeres Maculipinna (clown wrasse)

    Picked up a Maculipinna clown wrasse from DD last week. Wondering if anyone has any experience with this wrasse they can share. There isn't much out there and was trying to learn more. No issues to report, was eating on the first day, and so far is showing the same peacefulness as the rest of my...

    Local Live Foods

    Hi all, Where can I find a variety of live foods, besides live brine, locally? I'll pick up some live brine but would like to have some other options in case. I have a Vroliks wrasse that I've had for 21 days as of today and still have not seen him eat. I'm assuming he's living off the pods and...

    Fish Whisperer

    I had to share, well because I've never had this happen and it boggles my mind. Had an anthias jump out of the tank (I had the top off during the day after feeding, forgot to put it back on). I don't know how long it was on the carpet, but when I picked it up it was not wet, wasn't breathing...

    Testing, Dosing, Repeat...or not.

    I figured I read a lot about all the stuff people do to their tanks, and it was time for us to talk about all the stuff I do NOT do to mine (on purpose). It's been just over 3 years that I have been in this hobby now. I read a lot about people dosing and testing and then dosing some more. Not to...
