Yes...its the yellow tang that is commonly sold at the LFS. Its my 2nd YT, 4 inches...simply like the bright yellow colour. Will release it once it starts on the nori and fatten up abit.

Newcomers: "fish in a basket" LFS style...

Haha nice one.

Nice flame angels. Always wanted to keep one but never been successful with them.....

Got one in my 4x2x2.5 tank. Does not disturb other fish at all because it's one of the smallest inside.....

What I mean is u only add the more 'difficult'' fish at a later stage when tank is more mature. Thats why I mention 'some fish'. In the mean time, try the easier fish first. By the time u are more 'seasoned' as well as the tank, then consider other fish.

Happyguy- If its this few days old tank u are talking about, you should stop adding any livestock....or I am afraid they will In my opinion (some may have different views), some fish require a "mature tank", like at least 6 months to a year old.

Through my own experience, I find it is important to have a mature tank and of course regular maintenance/water change etc, to ensure the survivability of certain type of fish. I personally feel some fish will not be able to adapt/survive in tanks that are too newly set up. There are some bros here who keep many types of angel fish, perhaps you can see their previous postings. I believe a tank that is too "new" may not be suitable for angels.

My personal views/experience: Algae Blenny- usually will die because : 1) no algae for it to eat 2) refuse to eat other food, ie pellets or mysis etc 3) even if trained to eat pellets etc, must also ensure it gets to eat because it usually stays at bottom of tank or its too slow to eat them and gets eaten by other fast swimmers, such as tangs. Bi-color angel- 1) refuse to eat 2) need mature tank to survive. (definite no for new tanks) 3) may need cooler water

Hi, How "old" is your friend's aquarium and yours or are they quite new?

Coolguy & CFoh- thanks for the info. Just curious on the pricing, think this one requires a 'species tank'. Got a friend who is into fresh water rays though.

Nice. First time I see marine ray at lfs. Wonder how much?

I bought mine from petmart previously. call them to check for stock before going down.

Swee!

Do u have a deep tank? i.e 2.5 feet or more? Do u have a bare bottom tank? Do u have difficulty cleaning the bottom or removing the waste/detritus? Well, if u face the above just like me....I would like to share with you my solution: Maybe I had not been searching hard enough previously....now I managed to find these: The scraper comes with 3 attachments. A blade, a wool cleaner that rotates 360 degree and a scoop. I find it helps me to clean my 2.5 feet tank. Of course my hand will still get wet but at least I can scrape the bottom. The gravel vacuum is also long enough to suck away the waste at the bottom.. Thought of just sharing this with you. Just spent 2 hours cleaning and changing water, cleaning the floor....very tiring...

Came across an interesting old article about a reef tank at Atlantis Marine World. Check out the giant skimmer, think about 4 metres in height! http://www.advancedaquarist.com/2007/2/aquarium#

Check this out...this guy feeds his fish bananas! nice fish though... Anyone can comment about feeding such food?

Freshly chopped seafood! Frozen into 2 ziplock packs. Did not use too many ingredients this time, just used: 1) medium prawns x 10 2) small squids x 10 3) small white fish one pack about 40 pieces (not sure the name) 4) vitachem try out later... :P

Thanks Tian!

Thanks for the info bro

Hi It's time for me to buy new DI resin Cartridge, can anyone share where u buy them? Kind of lost track where to get such stuff...

haha...this crab looks cute and unique

My marine betta was already released into the tank previously. Generally, they are slow when it comes to eating, fighting for food with other faster swimmers...but they do have a big mouth See video of it eating a piece of prawn meat on the rock.
