So yesterday I bought a neon dottyback, sight unseen. This is the first time I haven't really researched a fish before I bought it. I ONLY bought it, because my wife was with me, and insisted we bring that fish home, because obviously it's a very pretty fish. I assumed that Orchid Dottybacks...

Hey guys, I have a Neon Dottyback that has been in my tank (12G nano) for about 2 months now. Just recently, he has started to hide more, and act strangely (laying on the bottom of the tank, no movement, appears dead or sleeping). He used to be very social, would come to the front of the tank...

Hello! Just wondering what some of you guys think about this. My first attempt at a nano tank was a 5gal hex in which I tried to house a single Cherub Angelfish. I loved that little fish and really like how they look. Needless to say, my first attempt went down the toilet quickly. She freaked...

neon dottyback and a blue spotted puffer well this two get alone?

Will a neon dottyback be ok with an ocelated dragonet? they will be in a 15g tank with an ample amount of rock.

I have a 8 gallon nano tank. I am looking for a couple of fish that are active and will not hide all the time. I have a yellow damels in there now and it buries everything. I am going to get rid of him. ( if anyone wants him let me know). If you know of any fish please let me know. Thanks, Amy

It's been forever since I posted in here but since I took over the buisness I've just not had enough time to dedicate to this tank. There are a bunch of nice things in this tank that are fairly expensive. I'd like to sell the whole thing to one person cause we all know that parting out a reef...

I want to get into reef keeping and I have a few Questions. I have a 30 gallon tank that I can use that has a cheaper skimmer and HOB that i can easily convert into a refugium. With this setup how much would it cost me to set up a "non fancy" nano reef? How much live rock? live sand? How long...

soooo if you were to buy a fish tommorow for a 55 gallon reef tank with softies, polyps, and a few montis in it. other fish are 1 yellow tang 1 blue green chromis 1 false perc 1 6 line wrasse vasrious crabs, snails, shrimp, feather dusters, and an urchin would you get a.... Heniochus Black...

Time has come for me to sell my tank due to my move to Texas. I am asking $4350.00 for everything fish related. Tank, stand, lights, r/o di, water change tubs,chemicals, G4 skimmer, gravity fed refugium, sump, cleaning tools......EVERYTHING. I have 3 X 250 halides with 4X VHO 's for lights I...

I want to get like 1 or 2 fish for my 37 gallon tank (24"x18"). I also want to get fish that will not take food from my corals, so clowns, chromis and the like are out. I will have a big enough skimmer to accomidate a messy eater. I was thinking a mandarin or harlequin tusk or ??? Idont know...

Can anyone recommend any fish, aside from Lawnmower Blennies, that will eat algae pretty well, and that can get along with a GS Maroon Clown, a Neon Dottyback, and a Blue/Green Chromis in a 44 gallon reef tank? If there are no other suggestions, I'll probably just get the Lawnmower Blenny. I...

I have a 44 gal hex tank that's been set up for about 1 3/4 years now. I have a crushed coral substrate, but plan on changing that to sand eventually (not sure how hard it'll be to change them). I have a GS Maroon Clown, one small Blue/Green Chromis, and a Neon Dottyback. I also have a Fire...

I am having a really tough internal dilemma and I need you guys to help me figure it out. In a nutshell, I am trying to figure out how to make this hobby dominate my life less. I feel like I am a slave to my fish/reef tanks. I enjoy them immensely and cant imagine giving them up totally but they...

I posted this is my other thread but I think that thread might have been swallowed by disinterest already. I was thinking of putting a purple AND an orange firefish in a 10 gal together? Is it possible that they'd co-exist? or even pair up and mate?
