Mine do....................... Feeding time is at 7 PM. Around 6:30, the clan starts gathering at the glass and staring at us. Lights out is at 9 PM. My coris wrasse and dragon wrasse sleep under the sand. They usually dig in around 8:55 PM. This still amazes me after years of keeping...

Saw him at the LFS about 4 months ago and had to have him. :D They don't call these guys "rock movers" for nothing. This little guy is a one fish construction company, and I have watched him pick up and move pieces of coral that have to outweigh him 10:1. He spends hours scooping sand in his...

He's about 3 1/2 " long. Eats everything I put in the tank, and is very docile. He does his own thing in the tank and bothers no other fish. He has eaten from my hand, but I don't do that very often. His teeth are sharp and he has drawn blood. Prior to buying, I learned that cow fish can...

Forgive the flash glare..................and the dirty tank. Cleaning day is Saturday.

I've had my long horned cow fish now for two years, and I have to say that I really enjoy this fish - inquisitive and very interactive. It's the first one to the glass when I look in the tank......it even stays at the glass when my cats are enoying the view....and batting at it. :D It follows...

With some reservations, I let my wife talk me into buying a clown sweetlips. I understand that they can be difficult to feed. This one was eating at the store, and he's eating in my tank - but he's picky. He gets along well with his tankmates and pals around with my clown fish. A gorgeous...

Agreed. I have one. It's the most relaxed fish in the tank and a true personality. It eats from my hand and follows me around the tank when I scrape the glass lookiong for tidbits.

I've had a long horned cow fish in my tank for over a year without a problem. It's the personality fish of the bunch, and will eat from my hand. It never has any problem getting food at feeding time - it's just as assertive as its tankmates. I love the comments about it when people see my...

Mine has done all of the above.............:grinyes:

I have a coris wrasse in a FO tank. It's constantly rooting around looking for tidbits and I imagine it could wreak havoc with a reef tank.

It works great - no muss, no fuss. I mix my water in the laundry room and pump it over to the tank with the MJ.

fsn, thanks for the link. I really don't want to drain the tank to catch this little beast. Last winter I had to drain and move the tank when we had new carpets put in. I could not catch him with a clear tank and only 3 inches of water left! I ended up completely draining the tank and...

I have a big eye soldier fish that I need to remove from my tank and trade in. Catching him with nets is an exercise in futility - he's a rocket! He has become way too aggressive and it's time for him to go. Are there any traps available that I can use to catch him? :help:

I just bought a small cowfish last week. It's definitely a "personality" fish, and it's an instant hit when friends see the tank.

I'm not planning on live coral. I'd like to have a feather duster or two, but I'm thinking that they require some active circulation, correct? Will a simple hanging filter work? Sorry for the dumb questions, but I've never dealt with a small tank like this or straight inverts.

I have a spare 20G tank and I'm thinking about setting it up as a straight invert tank - some live rock, crabs, shrimp, maybe some feather dusters, etc. What's a good setup for that? I want to keep the filtration simple if possible. Oops..................looks like I posted in the wrong...

My lion fish has never bothered any hermits or snails.

I inherited a pencil sized snowflake from a friend who was moving. In two years time that eel grew to over two feet long! If you have crabs and shrimp in your tank, they won't be there long once the eel arrives. Mine would wrap himself up in a maze of coral during the day, and came out as soon...

I absolutely dreaded the prospect of moving this tank. It was running as nice as any tank can run, and the fish were happy and healthy. The only fish that's still skittish is my fire fish. He made a very brief appearance today, but didn't come out to eat. I'll give them a day or two to settle...

Just a little war story on my latest tank ordeal........................ We had new carpet installed in our house yesterday. To do this, I had to move my 75G tank out of the family room. Here's what happened: T Minus 4 days - Draw 40 gallons of RO water, mix salt, heat and circulate it...
