Well, my camera could never handle such an intricate small subject. Its always too blurry. So, here, I drew it for you. I know the blenny doesnt really look anatomically correct, or even correct in any way, but I just wanted you to see where it was and that I am 99% sure it is not his anus...

Hey guys! It came back! Yikes, its not quite as big, but its still pretty large. So, nobody has heard of a disease with the red bulb on the fin? IT really doesnt look lilke its alive, but who knows. Is there anything else I should mention?

Well, interestingly enough, it is now gone.

:cry: My scooter blenny has this bulbous red lump on one of its fins. THe fin is one it uses to scoot around. He seems to be happy and still moving just fine, but it looks pretty disgusting and scary. I don't know what it could be, or even what caused it, and I was hoping someone could tell...

My hermits went on a rampage last night and ate a bunch of stuff including snails, feather duster worms, and maybe even my juvenile clownfish. The clown had been resting on the bottom every once in a while, and I figured he may be sick, but I checked all levels and they appeared to be within...

whoa that stinks! Do you clean the cup and put the waste in the trash can? Or down the sink or what? I wouldn't know what to do with something so very foul.

I have another quick question; one that would seem very naive, I'm sure, but I must know! Do protein skimmers smell bad? That is, does their skimmate produce an odor that I will be smelling if the tank is in my room (which it is)? It seems like if it is removing such nasty organics and...

does a six line wrasse jump out also?

What would be good food to feed two clowns and one green chromis? I have flake frenzy and frozen brine shrimp. I feed dried bloodworms every once in a while but they dont seem to like them very much. I don't feel that sea monkeys and flakes are a very complete and/or satisfying diet. Also, I...

Coral Banded Shrimp will clean? I didn't think that they had any inclination to clean whatsoever. Also, I have heard that Coral Banded shrimp do not like cleaners or fire shrimp or even other coral banded's in their territory. I do know that Fire Shrimp will clean, but its supposed to be rare...

Well budget is a concern, but I think that in the end getting a skimmer that can handle larger tanks would be a better value, because someday I do plan on taking this tank to a bigger size. It seems worth the extra 30-50 bucks to get one that won't be obsolete when I expand. Unless there is...

Hi, I'm finally ready to get a protien skimmer. I need to get a hang on skimmer because my tank is only 20g and I've been thinking about the Red Sea Prizm skimmer. What do you think?

Yeah I looked up nassarius snails. THey are also really cheap which is a plus. I think thats a good idea, but how many would you put in a 20 gallon tank considering what I already have, and my intention to add one or two clowns.

I saw that too, but it looked like it was also too tall. I actually got a Visi-JET PS from there for only 12 dollars on clearance. It is venturi style so its powered, but the collection cup just sits on there...what if you knocked it off? Gross. Anyway, I haven't been able to use it because...

:evil: that sucks. We really wanted one, too. but as long as I have all those copepods, I guess I might as well have something eat them. Maybe that sand sifting star will work after all.
