Re: exploring local fishkeeping communities

Our local scene's pretty good, we've got a Facebook group and it's always been active. You get to meet the same faces, but that's not a bad thing. If I ever post asking for advice or help, there's always someone willing to lend a hand. I've got a big tank coming in a couple of weeks and one of the ...

Re: exploring the connection between daily routines and aquarium fish

I completely agree with establishing routines in fishkeeping. For me, it's all about consistency - I stick to my Sunday morning and Wednesday night water change schedule, and it seems to be working well for my fish. I've been fortunate in that I rarely encounter disease-related issues, and most of ...

Re: selecting your top marine fish

1. Lionfish - love the striking appearance and elegance in movement, they have such a sweet face.

2. Porcupine Puffer - the unique appearance and quirky nature really draw me in, I've always been fascinated by their ability to inflate.

3. Snowflake Moray - the pattern on this eel is just ...

Re: keeping freshwater eel and snowflake eel together

My brackish eel's a total food fiend, goes absolutely mental for the stuff and I've got to be super careful when I'm placing the lancetfish food for the toads, those little eel jaws are lightning fast.

Re: keeping freshwater eel and snowflake eel together

I've asked a similar question on this forum a few months back, so a quick search should bring up some relevant info - brentoe Monks actually responded, and if I recall correctly, he said that keeping them together at that salinity is doable.

Re: red fin waspfish identification

Yeah, that's the one I had, Neovespicula depressifrons. They're really cool fish and it looks like the marine Red Fin Waspfish has a lot more color to it.

Re: red fin waspfish identification

I've had the pleasure of keeping two waspfish in a brackish tank and they were ideal inhabitants. They were active in their own unique way and quite easy to feed, they'd hunt down pieces of mysis and attack them with gusto. I wish I had the chance to get another for my brackish tank, they were a ...
