  1. I wouldn't say every petco has experienced staff to deal with salt either. I bought a MADRIN (WTF) from petco yesterday as a mercy buy. The fish was sluggish and stressed. Despite putting him in a tank with thousands of pods in it she was dead the next day. I'm not saying I didn't expect it, but they just shouldn't order fish that require that level of care. I almost have enough nerve to go get a second job there. Thats almost as ignorant as a LFS that will remain un-named that had a pygmy octopus in an open tank last yr. DON'T stock it if you can't handle it!

    It is plain that Salty Dreams posted first regardless of what deals she currently has posted. Bickering will make anyone think twice about donations, especially when someone is giving out of the kindness of there hearts.

  10. With a tank your size it should be fine
  11. So these guys work awsome together! they dug out a good 2' of sand under my rock to fortify. The goby is about 4-4 1/2" and the pistol is about 2 1/2". The japanese pistol looks just like a blood shrimp with the white touches but he's pack'n. I have had them over a year and they are quite the characters. I'm letting them go for 50$

  13. Understandable question. I had a hippo tangs in my 30g zoa tank because it was a baby, 1 1/2" each. Kind of like how I have had 18 baby clowns in my 30QT tank for the last month. I don't believe in throwing babies in large tanks until they can fend for themselves. Where I would otherwise agree with you that you should not ever place fish in tanks that are rated to small for them, for me it is a graduation process. I already own a large tank they just were not ready for the open water. You should never buy a fish you can not accommodate in the long run. The zoa tank was well established, had been up for several years, and was a very healthy tank. Hippos babies are very sensitive and I wasn't about to drop them in my 240g until I was confident in their health so I put them in the 30g for about a month because they are fast growers. I came home one day to a cracked tank which was more than likely what triggered the slime ball to nuke the tank. All the fish except a clown were dead. The devastating blow was my newly paired madrins that I had just finally got to switch to frozen brine. It was crushing... One thing you all can learn from this is that hardy clowns along with a tank jammed full of zoas made it through this painful ordeal just fine. I understand my incident was isolated but isolated incidents happen to everyone. Why compound it with a fickin grenade sitting in your tank waiting for the pin to be pulled.
  14. I had one die in a 30g and it killed 130$ of fish including a hippo tang and pair of mandrins. Get something else that filter feeds, get rid of it...
  15. any clue on the name or did you just discover a new shrimp breed?
  16. Im interested also to know which toby it is?
  17. does anyone have experience with pairing wrasses other then 6lines?
  18. So I was wondering if it would be possible to pair my red coris wrasse. I have an adult and I was thinking about maybe getting a juvi?
