i dont know if anyone else can't see it either, but i can't see the photo. In any case if it doesn't come off (if it were sand), its probably...
oh and another question, if i remove an inch or two of sand, how do i do that if i have a burrowed anemone?, do i just keep that area the way it is....
No, i guess i dont know what a DSB is, i just have a 3inch sand bed, whether or not its the same as a deep sand bed, i don't know. I was pretty sure...
first stages of what? I dont understand what happened. I thought to have burrowing animals you were supposed to have a sand bed of at least 3 inches...
Ok so I am posting this on behalf of fazoo666 and myself. I know he had two jawfish die and I had the one. Alll in the same way, suddenly and with no...

thats pretty much almost exactly what i used. I have the black substrate in the bottom, and basically the same top layer; the reef sand and what not....
yea, i dont think so but its a thought. Hes been fine and I know they do well in captivity (and are not bred). Hes been burrowing and active,...
well, not from the ocean, live sand i bought at the store..i think it was called reef sand
its a yellow headed jawfish, my sandbed is about 3 inches, i think the the first layer is a fine substrate (it was black) and the second is ocean...
How should I transfer a sick fish to a quarantine tank? Should i put him in a bag and acclimate him, or just net him and make the transfer quick? My...
well i dont really think i should wait to treat him, i think he will most certainly perish anyway. I guess i will go ahead and prepare my q tank and...
