Thanks, that makes us feel a little better. Hope to see it back to normal soon. It's one of the nicest colts I have seen. Bill

your water flow may be to extreme.A moderate water flow is better for the chili. BILL

Not to mention, a 45gal would be to small of a home for it. BILL

Thanks, I will try the flow and check the base again. Water quality is great. At the time it looks like it now has some kind of tissue hanging from a couple branches. Really does not look well. Thanks again. BILL

We believe that to be true after reading about them. Was just hoping to here that maybe they were not that bad. Definately will not get one. Thanks. BILL

Okay, I know that generally cleaner wrasse are not recommended for home aquariums because they starve. However, would a very large, highly populated fish-only tank possibly be able to support one cleaner wrasse? An Aquarium Magazine article said that they eat slime and scales as well as...

We have a colt coral that has dominated the reef tank in its size and splendor for close to a year. Suddenly, two days ago, it shriveled and turned purplish-brownish within a matter of an hour or less. No other tank inhabitants seemed affected. There are no signs of anything boring holes in...

We purchased a beautiful cross-hatch trigger of medium-large size who seemed healthy (eating well)but is now displaying symptoms of illness. He eats only tidbits and seems rather disinterested in pursuing food at all. He spends most of his time half-hidden between two rocks and I think his...

Thanks, I appreciate all the information. We introduced a small one to our reef lastnight, it is about 6" in diameter. As you said it did come attached to a nice size rock. We put it at the very top of the tank in a moderate flow area, with plenty of light. You mentioned crabs! We currently...

I was wandering if anyone here keeps rose anemone's. If so could you tell me about there required care? Thanks. BILL [ April 14, 2002: Message edited by: BILL & THERESA MEISTER ]</p>

My wife and I have an African grey, Blue & Gold Macaw, Mollocan Cockatoo, 2 Lilac crown amazons. We have not checked on many forums, but I believe that Bird Talk magazine has one. Hyacinth, your a lucky #@$%^ to have a bird like that. We found a local shop with a one year old going for a...

Are there any bottom feeders (besides catfish)that are safe to put in a fish only tank? We have a 300 gallon with one tessalated moray eel, one large golden puffer, two small puffers and four small blue damsels. We need something to rid the tank of food left overs on the bottom. We have a...

Alberto, the use of water and fish is about where the similarities end. Fresh water is very forgiving of mistakes, salt is not. The smallest error will cause your entire system to crash and the death of everything in it. With that said please take your time and gather more knowlledge. You...

If you were that worried, you could always do a short fresh water dip first. BILL

Table salt contains iodine, which is deadly for fish. I would stay away from it. BILL
