It depends on the type and size of the nem. I had a peppermint shrimp kill and eat a small rock flower nem; however, a larger nem will eventually...
I didn't know anything was wrong- there were no visible signs or symptoms. A new introduction looked fine at the LFS, but died the first night in my...
+1 There's a long-standing myth that lower salinity is better for fish, although that has yet to actually be proven. The fact that fish can adapt...
Since you are connecting it to an established system with corals in it, you'll want to make sure all parameters are the same to prevent any kind of...
Did you notice if any other fish picked at the molly after it died? There are internal diseases that can be contracted that way. I had the very same...
Lawnmower Blennies are herbivores. They eat very little, if any, meaty foods. You need to have enough algae growth for them to graze on; if not, then...
What type of lighting do you have, and if not LED, how old are the bulbs? If they're losing their PAR/spectrum, that would cause coralline regression.
Another concern I would have is the drop in temp in the sump. Once you power back up, you're going to pump a lot of cold water into your DT. I second...
Nice video- thanks for sharing.
Ok, I get the point. :) Seriously though, I realize that when someone posts "it's a piece of crap" out of frustration, there is usually a good...
What exactly was wrong with it that made it a "piece of crap"?
The short answer is no. Uneaten food will be the least of your concerns; it's the amount of waste predators produce that will keep you fighting...
How long have you had it? It's not uncommon for a nem to take a week or more to fully acclimate to your tank, during which time it may retreat under...
Agree with both. Also, IMOPE, fish are less stressed if introduced into their new home without a lot of human intervention. Just acclimate to the...
Any dish or household cleaning sponge will be fine as long as it has never been used with any detergent or cleaning chemicals. I usually grab one...
+1 Also, you're talking about aggressive predators in a reef tank, which is not recommended. The fish eat a lot and produce a lot of waste, and even...
That's wonderful news! Glad to hear. :) Good luck!
Your lighting definitely needs to be upgraded before adding a nem. What you have is only good for low-light soft corals and mushrooms. You could...
That's wonderful news! Glad to hear. :)
Sebae nems are one of the most difficult to keep alive in captivity. BTAs are the most popular as they are more suitable for aquarium life and fairly...
