Reef roids are solid, but Mushroom Corals can be picky. Try spot feeding with mysis shrimp or small bits of krill. I've got a 75 gallon with similar lighting, and mine perk up after a mysis snack. Keep an eye on flow too, they don't like strong currents.

Consistency beats perfection. My 180 gallon runs at 85°F year-round, with monthly 50% changes. Discus are breeding, so it's working. Key is matching your routine to your setup. If you can't do daily changes, invest in better filtration and stick to a schedule.

I've had these two ring leopards for almost two years, given to me as gifts, supposedly a breeding pair. Tank conditions are all good - 30 Degrees Celsius, nitrates 8-15mg/l, no nitrites or ammonia, pH 6.8. My fluval filter's checked every 3 months, and I do 50% water changes regularly. They look ...

Hi Everyone,

I'm curious to know, do you think this is a pair or two males? I know it's tough to tell until they spawn, but I'd love to hear your thoughts - I'm still learning.
