adding chromis

Hi everyone, just wanted to follow up on my nitrate issue - I think I've got it under control now after a couple of water changes. I'm gonna let things settle for a bit before adding any new fish. I was at the local fish store looking at chromis and had a couple of questions. I was told they do ...

Re: Observations of royal gramma behavior

The anemone's always been white, to be honest. Posting pics might be a bit of a challenge for me, I don't have a digital camera and I'm not sure when I'll get around to it.

My light's a T3 with 6500k of light, I think that's right. As for the nem food, I'm not at my apartment right now so I'm not ...

Re: Observations of royal gramma behavior

Thanks for the help, everyone - especially Seffie. I didn't mean to come across ungrateful, it's just been a tough week and I've had my fair share of bad experiences with saltwater over the years. I hate losing fish, but I just can't stand freshwater fish. My problems in the past have usually been ...

Re: Observations of royal gramma behavior

I did in fact go to the lfs and the only difference they got was that my nitrates were around 50 rather than the 20-30 I thought, which is a bit higher than I'd like. Just did a 3 gallon change now and will do another 3 gallon change in 5 days. Still, I don't think 50ppm on nitrate is terrible ...

Re: Observations of royal gramma behavior

Found him dead this morning, got stuck in a rock. Had a cleaner shrimp and a yellow tail blue damsel die recently too, but I think they just didn't get enough food with the gramma and clowns eating so much. My tank's got a couple of clowns, a small anemone, and a soft polyp coral now. Here are my ...

Observations of royal gramma behavior

Hey everyone, I'm getting a bit worried about my gramma. He's been hiding nonstop for the past 24 hours, which means he's not eating. Now I know they can hide for short periods, even up to an hour, but 12 hours is unusual. I did manage to catch a glimpse of him when I got in the tank and moved some ...
