Re: comparison of spotted and normal manderin

i'd personally go with mysis over brine, mate, it's got way more nutritional value, brine's a bit lacking, if you ask me. not too sure i'd risk chucking two mandarins in together, might not end well.

Re: What Plants Survive with Goldfish?

And if all else fails, fake plants are always an option. Not as fun, but they'll survive the goldfish apocalypse.

Re: What Plants Survive with Goldfish?


Goldfish are notorious for uprooting and munching on plants. Your best bets are tough, fast-growing species like Anubias, Java Fern, and Hornwort. Anchor Anubias to driftwood or rocks so they can't dig it up. Java Fern can handle the nibbling, and Hornwort grows so fast it outpaces their appetite ...

Re: sentry duties for twins

That's really awesome to see, I've never seen different species of gobies sharing a burrow like that.

Re: maroon clowns with yellow banded clowns

I know of a guy in Hull who's selling a pair of maroon clowns, I can find out for either of you if you're interested.

Re: Acan tissue loss: causes and solutions

It's been opening up nicely at night and looking pretty good, so I'm hopeful. I think the iodine dip might have been the turning point, to be honest. I've always used Coral RX in the past, but I'm currently out of it. Still, I'm curious about what initially caused the issue - the dip didn't seem to ...

Re: Acan tissue loss: causes and solutions

Here is the Acan as of today. It does appear that tissue loss may have stopped after the dip. I'm keeping an eye on it. I now have this ugly bare skeleton section right in the middle of it. I hope if it recovers from this that new tissue will fill that spot. I did mount it a little lower down than ...

Re: Acan tissue loss: causes and solutions


Hey guys, having some trouble posting a new thread so I'm gonna jump in here. Been following for a while, first time posting. Got a 36g BF with a 20g sump, pretty standard setup - NO's-0, PO-0, NH-0, 500/1480 CALMAG, 8.3ph, 1.025. Using T5 lights, two 30-inch strips, four lights total. Tank's only ...

Re: Acan tissue loss: causes and solutions

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Parameters are pretty close to spot on. I did remove the acan and give it a good dip, just in case. I'm still not entirely sure what caused the issue, but I'm leaning towards it being related to the move from one tank to another. It's possible it got stung while ...

Acan tissue loss: causes and solutions

I've had this acan for 2-3 years with zero issues. Just recently moved my 38 gallon tank to a new 40 breeder, everything else is thriving. This spot on my acan showed up a few days ago and it's growing daily. Initially I thought it might be brown jelly disease - there's some brownish tissue where ...
