Who Gives A Fish Forums

I've had three Labroides dimidiatus, and all of them took to flake food straight away. It's odd, because the literature suggests they're tricky to feed, but from my experience and that of others in the UK, it doesn't seem to be the case. The real issue I've found is that they can be a bit of a ...

Honestly, I'm a bit lost after reading all that. I'm getting a headache just thinking about it. What's the big deal about buying stuff from a pet store, you know?


I think cleaner wrasses are really easy to keep, they're not that hard to care for, I've had some experience with them and they're ...

That depends on the size of the trap, if it's big enough, you're good to go. I've caught fish that were literally squeezing in.

I've found that using a trap works pretty well. Leaving it in the tank for a few days, feeding through the trap, and being patient is key. Most fish can be caught this way if you're willing to wait.

I've had my tank up and running for about 4 months now, and it's been cycled... I've got a mix of fish in there - 2 yellow tailed damsels, 1 three striped damsel, and a devil blue damsel. There's also a chocolate chip star, some small blue legged crabs, and a couple of snails. I'm thinking of ...

also, are they safe for a reef setup

Copperbands aren't the easiest to keep alive, to be honest. They're generally alright in a reef setup but do have a thing for fan worms and feather dusters.

Hi Sam,

Thanks for sharing your tank setup and the fish you're interested in keeping. I have some thoughts on the ones you've listed.

First off, Clown Triggers are beautiful but they can get massive and quite aggressive, so I'd advise against them for your tanks. The Picclyasso Trigger is also ...

Thanks for all the advice so far. I'm thinking of setting up my tanks like this...

D-D 24G Lynxo Reef - I'd love to have coflakes in here with either a pair of young Percula Clowns or a Skunk Clown. Maybe a Ocelaris Clown could also work? Would they all get along and leave the coflakes alone?

Rio ...

Hi Everyone,

I'm in the process of setting up three marine tanks - a Rio 240, a Rekord 96, and a 24G D-D Lynxo Reef. I'd love to get some ideas on stocking them. They all have T5 lighting, and I'm keen to include coflakes in the Rio 240, but I know some fish love to eat them.

I've got a few fish ...
