Who Gives A Fish Forums

New to the salty side, I'm learning as I go. Just a quick question - when people say pods, are they referring to copepods, or is that a different thing altogether?

Here's my list of fish I'd like to see, some big, some not so big:

Dog face puffer's an interesting one,
Foxface rabbit fish are cool,
Naso tang's another,
Emperor angel's a beauty,
Elephant nose is a weird one but I like it,
Jawfish are always fun to watch,
Valentin puffer's a mystery to me ...

Might be better if you tell us what sort of fish you like and what your plans are for the tank, FOWLR, reef etc. We are a curious lot and love hearing every little detail with loads of photos.

So, tell us about your fish keeping experience, your hardware and ...

Wow, I'm really curious about the specifics behind this amazing coral explosion. Can you please share your husbandry practices, like lighting, salt, and additives?

I've never really seen mine poop, probably because I don't feed it directly. That zooxanthellae explanation makes sense though - could be adjusting to its new environment. Do you have any photos of the curly black things and the poop hanging out of its mouth?


Ugh, I hope not. Maybe I'll try ...

Mine's been pooping a lot too. Got them a few days ago and they're on the sandbed. Now it's covered in those curly black things and I always see one or two of those poop bits hanging out. Not just one mouth either, I mean all of them. I'm not feeding them anything. Is this normal behavior?

Nice setup you got there.

Had a lovely queen angel for ages, and this morning I couldn't find him anywhere. I thought he was just hiding really well, so I stripped the rocks apart and found him. He was in perfect condition last night, about to get moved into a bigger tank tomorrow, but now he's dead. The only other fish in ...

Could be a blue devil damselfish but I'm guessing that'd be more electric blue, and it'd probably be in your books as well.
