well daniel, you should buy much smaller size clown fish so the existing bigger one in your tank will still dorminate.

well i do believe even if the new fish size is bigger thn the old tank host fish ,it stil will att it.
maroon cant put together in same tank.but some 1 say can,the way is put 2 fish at a tank at same time
and got another way to in a new fish .the way is put a mirror.let the fish bz fighting itself.i got experience on that when my tank alr host by yellowtang afterall i put brown tang.this way make this 2 fish peace
blue, powder blue and yellow tang is a white sport king fish.new tank,unmature tank,unstable tank.better leave this fish away

Bro alexlow,

my maroon clownfish is smaller than my tomato clownfish. Now maroon just keep hiding behind life rock eventhou Tomamto had been quarantine. Any advice bro?

Bro icemamario,

blue tang, yellow tang and powder blue will fight with each other?? Can I keep a pair each or only 1 fish for each type? Advice please..

Btw I like my seahorses. Enjoy really much seeing them swim and play in water. However I cannot keep shrimp anymore as both of the seahorses will eat according to people. I just thought wanna buy fire-shrimp. Huhuhu!

you old clown has to be much bigger to pair with small clown.

or

you take both out to the quarantine tank, after sometimes only put them back togather

All the fishes in my tank just died, i'm not sure what happen. From my analysis, maybe is the algae blenny just killed and ate by my hermit crab, then follow by my half dead tang and then my both clown attacked by white spots and died.

bad water quality, ammonia spike,do you have any corals or anemone in your tank?

Nope, just fishes. Cause still waiting for pipes to set up my chiller and the fishes to be more stable in tank, but accident happen. Have to start all over again, now just left the hermit crab and a snail in my tank.

you need massive water change )

I made a 90% water change, and rinse the live rock, bcuz there is still got a hermit crab and snail in the tank.

rinse life rock wif fresh water?gd luck ya.
i make 100% water change and rinse all liferock wif fresh water last month .but no ppl will suggest u do that.but im 1% of the lucky 1

Hi guyz, I have managed to get my first saltwater nano tank n I have started the cycle, thx to alexlow n icemamario... I was wandering if its acceptable to use tap water? mixing salt n chlorine remover then put it inside the tank will it be fine?

Because when I bought my stuffs from Ikea shop yesterday the LFS guy told me tat it should b fine to use normal tap water as long u use the chlorine remover n make sure the salt level is in acceptable range..

almost 90 % using tapwater.but not only chlorine inside it.po3 and po4 too.diff place diff parameter.y don u get a test kits test the test ur tap water 1st

N forgot to mentioned tat im also using the Sachem sea gel for organic and phosphate control..

Anyway I am looking for Dolphin mini chiller, any idea on where I could get it? thx ..

even u using po4 controler.but for long term u wasting money.if ur tap water is high po4.once u wc.ur Sachem sea gel suck all po4 and u need to reload it.u can calculate ro water cheap or the gel cheap.the mini chiller is same function as a fan.the benefit is u not need always top up water.usless if ur tank bigger thn 1feet.better u top up some money looking for compressor chiller.around rm550.who know u will upgrade ur tank.IMI

my tank having hairy algae & bubble algae problem.. so ytd bought a algae eater ( bandaraya ) but it died this morning.. can any1 tell me y... by the way do i need to take up the body or let it be foods by others ? coz it fall till deep under LR cant take it up ...

algae goby.how long it inside ur tank.how bout ur other livestock.u can control algae problem by reduce ur lighting time.and of coz better take it out.if not it will become po3 and po4 high.

about a week ago lo.. others still ok since my tank ready recyled jz blue tang having some white spot but stil fine with that FS guy said is cz my water stil not stabil yet once stable the white spot ll gone itself .. this algae eater is my 1st dead livestock ..

Guyz im finding a new home for few of my fishes, please have a look at the link below and if any1 interested plz PM me.. thx

Normally we need to cycle the water for how long before we put in Livestocks & fishes?

2-3weeks
