Secret of reducing aggression
yikai replied to shaohui75's topic in FOWLR (Fish-only with Live-rock)
I will try to DIY a box, but i dun have a drill to drill holes. What else can i use to make holes? -
Anyone have this problem? My tank water looks "dusty", like have alot of very very small particles floating around the water... making it look very cloudy. My equipment inside my tank, like my magnetic glass cleaner, and thermometer, will always have this very fine layer of dust on it, even though its INSIDE the water!! I dunno what is causing this. Only recently started happening. My protein skimmer is on 24/7 and this problem never happen before. At first i thought it was my sand sifter goby, always stirring the sand. But the goby so small, and it only eat one mouth of sand, and sift, then spit out. I do not think it is sufficient enough to cause the whole tank to be so cloudy. Then i thought it was my yellow wrasse, everytime dig the sand when it scared. It will stir up a cloud of dust and sand, but it will fade away very soon. so i dont think its the both of them. Can anyone tell me why this is happening? Sometimes so severe until the surface of water covered in a film of dust particles/sand particles... very fine like cloudy water. I tried water change, 10% but no use. help pls? anyone? I do not think it is an ammonia spike/nitrite spike that is causing the cloudyness, as everything in my tank is doing very well. Corals opening, and fishes actively eating. It doesnt affect my tank from what i observe, but it just looks unsightly..

The picture appears very bright blue/green because of the camera flash. The real one is dark green/black. It changes colours several times of the day. Sometimes appears black, sometimed dark green, sometimes dark purple. Here is roughly what it looks like in RL

I have kept coral beauties and flame angels with corals before, no problem. But for the lemonpeel and bicolour, they may nip at corals. They are one of the dwarf angels that like to eat corals... most other dwarfs leave corals alone but beware the lemonpeel and bicolour. Big angels from the genus pomacantidae, euphipipox, chaetodontoplus, all eat corals also. Only genicanthus, the swallowtail angelfish, wont, and some dwarf angels. Dwarf angels depends on the individual also. Some will eat some wont. its a game of luck

They are very healthy in my tank with NO OBVIOUS signs of dieseases. this does not mean they are not carrying anything pathogenic. treat these fishes like as though u bought them from LFS. quarantine them. i dun wanna be held responsible for anything =(

This is very good advice. And if you do want to buy angelfish, please ask where it came from. USUALLY specimens from idonesia and phillipines do not do well. most are cyanide caught... unfortunately. Angels from hawaii or christmas island fare better. the difference in handling and shipping of angelfish greatly affects their aquarium lives. Most angelfish are delicate shippers and when they get damaged during catching and shipping, most do not recover. Also, i think angelfish from the sub genus euxiphipop should be given a rating of 2 rather than 3. Alot of them are quite hard to keep. The genus includes majestic, blue face and six barred. I think the easiest out of these 3 will be the blue face... I would give them a rating of 2 rather than 3. But ur right, individuals subject to water quality. so it depends, u can rate 2 or 3. But overall, if ur water quality is lousy, all ur angelfish, no matter what subgenus, will be rated as a 0-1.

Yea >.< sorry for mis-typing. If you are a newbie at the hobby, dun attempt angelfish. But if u have some experience on the hobby liao, but noob with angelfish, then if u really wanna try angelfish, koran angel is the easiest IMO. some ppl think that other angels are easier, but i think koran quite easy. But grow big liao ugly.... grey grey...

yikai replied to richard liu's topic in Disease treatment/parasite/pest control
Bristle worms dont USUALLY, eat fishes. If ur fishes are healthy, they will swim away fast enough for the worm to get near. Bristleworms MAY eat diseased and dying fishes, or dead fishes. rarely, they eat healthy fish. Unless its a eunicid bristleworm or bobbitworm. those are very bad fishi-vores =D -
Egg still inside mouth leh. Dont have chance to take pic as the male is always hiding. will PM u when have some pics

A page taken from wetwebmedia shows how 66 fishes, of which includes large angels, dwarf angels, butterflies, tangs and triggers, can be kept on ONE aquarium with ZERO aggresion! This is for your viewing pleasure. Some of the angelfishes seen are very exotic. like the blue striped angel. http://www.wetwebmedia.com/ca/volume_4/V4I...h/Angelfish.htm

This is a jellyfish. The very juvenile lava stage of a jellyfish. They wont survive into adult jellyfishes.... will get sucked by the pump. But yes, it is the larval stage of jellyfish
