    Can someone please advise

    During all my years in this hobby (Retired due to further health problems), for your tanks algae is not the normal algae it should be. I have to believe that your problem could be all due to your tanks water currents. it is the only thing I could think of that is cursing you this type of algae.

    5 years with our Blue Ribbon Eel

    I`m sorry, but I can not call it a great deal of success in simply having the eel for five years because you only showed that your feeding it feeders. For if you were feeding a variety of marine foods, then I would call it a great deal of success. Its not hard to have any type of eel for any...

    Hi Ace, how your doing? let him do that and learn for himself that most LFS will only tell him what they want to sell him and he will most likely post a picture next week , his tank with three tangs in it. Sihota, if you are going to go with your LFS guild on this, you best beware for they...

    Sump help

    I don`t know the filtration type that freshwater tank has, but from viewing its overflow system, its not running at a GPH flow rate that a marine system would require, so from my experiences in this area, it would fail over time, for a freshwater tank not require a great water turnover rate as a...

    Cave Tank?

    Ace25, even more then that, for first what happens is due to the improper water currents, it causes LR areas to die and this you can see from a white powder substance covering the LR area, in which causes a nitrate levels as low as 20ppm and up. But this isn`t the only problem you would have...

    Algae Problems; battling phosphates

    This is your first problem, you need to maintain your tank if it is to do well I would do a weekly water change as you see that your tank is in need of it, for during my years in this hobby, I done weekly water changes at all times. And depending on the gals in your water changes, you would see...

    Bad Bacteria?

    What of your tanks water currents, which water pumps and how many do you have in your tank, for dead water spots can do some strange things by allowing you to think its something other then what your problem really is. Your a deep tank for I too years ago kept a 110 gal tank, and in any tank...

    Stupid question?????

    People always seem to say their to ask a dumb question. Your any skimmer? With your present idea in mind, I wouldn`t suggest you move with this project until you buy a skimmer. Also, you will need a good amount of LR to allow any eel you keep to have hiding places, for a eel must be able to hide...

    What is my species????

    It is like you said, it hasn`t as yet wanted to eat the fish, it is always the same deal, you get this eel in your tank, and it appears its rather like big buddies until you come home one day and your fish are either gone or running for their lives. The other main factor in this is how you feed...

    What is my species????

    Gymnothorax fimbriatus will grow over 3', those who eels not grow to their normal maximum size, had not feed them well enough as well as had perfect water conditions. Besides, the male Dragon moray I had grew to 32" and the thickest part of his body was near the size of a soda can. Why ask...

    moray eel vs. tank size

    As for its ID as a Hybrid eel species can be either a freshwater or marine type of eel, its not how you ID a eel species in a area like this by using a section group area that describes the eel as either marine or freshwater species, and the name Hybrid goes as well with the green moray. You...

    green wolf eel has dark spot/scrape on tail?? please id

    I would say its all due to you getting this wolf eel too early on, long before your water conditions were anywhere near to perfect. Its was all due too water poisoning for ill effects when it comes to eels not often show soon after like with other aquarium fish, that if you did this with any...

    MINIMUM TANK SIZES

    The main thing in all this is, you not will have just that one fish, and most young beginners will have as many fish tank inhabitants that they can, so in saying that, you really would need to have even a larger tank then a 125, i would go with nothing smaller then a 240, but in dealing with...
