Who Gives A Fish Forums

I've got a large piece of plate rock that, if I moved it over, would put the helio in the shade. Alternatively, I could try placing it in the back of the tank, but that would put it close to a small frogspawn - which is a risk, since I've heard helios rarely recover from stings if they make contact.

Hey everyone, just got my hands on a stunning helio and I'm excited to share it with you all. The issue I'm facing is that it might be slightly too big for my tank - when it's sleeping, it fits in the corner with about half an inch to an inch of clearance on all sides, but during the day it expands ...

My urchin's been a bit of a handful, picking them up and carrying them around a few times this past week - despite being epoxied down to the ...

Does anyone even bother with Fishbase these days?

So, if you want to avoid any potential disasters, a separate QT tank is really the way to ...

My little Royal Gramma's coming along nicely, I've noticed they can be a bit skittish at first, but that's pretty normal for marine species. What really seemed to bring mine out of its shell was some newly hatched brine shrimp - it absolutely loves those. Now, it's happily munching on flake, frozen ...
