I don't think the common hatchetfish has been bred at home. I think there's one type of hatchetfish that has been bred. They are egg layers. quietreef

How big is your tank and how many fish are in it? quietreef

Hi there: About your snails, there are other ways to get rid of them *if you want to*. One is to put a piece of par-boiled potato in the tank, and after a day it will be covered in snails, then just remove the potato. Yes, clown loaches will rid your tank of them but probably eat your...

HI again: Okay I read that thread and reread an article about DSB's by Shimek and another by Jonathan Lowrie. So my new question is who has a successful DSB, how long have you had it, and what's *your* recipe? :D quietreef

Hi there: I'm the one planning a new 120G tank. I've read an enormous amount, but I'm still baffled by compatibility issues. Can some of you kindly make some stocking suggestions for primarily invertebrate tank with a DSB and built around one must-have clam? The things that interest me the...

Hi there: I have 2 questions and I'm going to ask them under different subject lines. I'm in the planning stage for a new 120G reef, and there's something I don't understand. I've read and read and read and I get the importance of a DSB and would like to have one, but I don't understand...

Thank you for answering the question. I read the link you suggest and I agree. There is a lot of conflicting information out there. I have visited other reef forums, but I have the impression that this one is more serious than others I have seen. Thanks, and now I'll return to my pencil and...

Hi there: I'm in the process of setting up my first reef tank. I've read everything I can find on the subject, but I still have some questions. I've never posted here before, but I've read many of the articles, so perhaps someone here can make some suggestions. I plan on approx. 100G display...
