i also first time heard it you'll be very surprised where that statement came from

xperiment 626, i stumbled across this at clamdirect.com i think you should read it http://www.clamsdirect.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=1216

he said:" did u buy the pistol shrimp paired with goby?....don't buy if not the pistol shrimp will eat all your other fishes"

yeah! WHY CAN'T THEY JUST END ITS LIFE BEFORE DOING IT?! and i definitely am not inapproval of killing the animal by standing on it...heartless barbies and jimbams i'll gladly shoot those bast*rds :angry: :angry:

well i directed my question to henry and this is what he said "20 to 30 ppm NO3 will never kill a clam. They actually need NO3 to grow. In clam farms, NO3 is deliberately introduced to feed them. That's also the reason for some to have lots of clams, oysters etc in the hope that they could remove NO3. The down side is, clams are ex and you never know when a virus attack it. Yours may be a case of virus attack. Symptom - one day open nice and big as usual . .. then for no apparent reason, started shrivelling and clamp up leading to death." my first clam died exactly in the way he said...i guess the virus is spreading so the cleaner go and nibble on the clam

my clam seems to be so healthy responds to shadows passing overhead, responds to touch why would it suddenly die?

hey bro...it seems to be nibbling on the mantle lor are you sure its cleaning it? i'm very afraid it'll kill the clam cos it seems to pull very hard on the clam

yup that's right if you feed them good food chances are they won't search for bristle worms

here's the video please select save file as and view if clicking on the link doesn't bring you to the video 100_2375.MOV

i caught my cleaner shrimp doing this to my clam the clam is shut tight because of the cleaner shrimp please watch the video, vote and advice on what to do thanks

my rule of thumb is if you spot such corals with skeleton protruding out, don't buy but if you did, not to worry because i've got friends who buy such specimens and with proper care, they recover but when i say proper care, it means ALOT of time spent on the coral

i never see i just base my advice on the website but frankly, jus like williammuk said...leave them

macro i don't think you can get anything better with a budget of $200 macro will serve you just fine

6 line wrasse eats them http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_Di....cfm?pCatId=375

45? where do you get that price from? i got quoted twice that price from a shop once

i recently started with TM iodine then my corals suddenly act wierd like close up very tight a couple of experienced reefers pm me telling me that i could've overdosed even when i followed the recommended dosage because my bioload is extremely low as of now what i'd say is get a test kit like salifert if not just stick with half the recommended dosage because iodine kills if you overdose so don't risk it

hey bro yesterday got one person selling did u manage to get it? 2mths old for 600 i would have snapped it if not for the fact that i was so sway to be in camp for range....................

i've been using it in my tank then i stopped i didn't notice a difference when i stopped i guess its more important during emergencies to remove loads of toxins if they get accidentally introduced into your tank

wa brother...how much you pay for one polyp? you seem to have lots of money to experiment with. haha

250W bleaches it ah...aiya...then i no hope of keeping it leaw.

could u quote a price that you will sell them if u decide to sell?

hey bro fuel...no offense but if what you say is true, then such deaths of pink yumas shouldn't be jus restricted to pink ones but all colours as long as they come from deeper waters. but what i find puzzling is i have come across 2 yuma keepers who treat their yumas in the same manner, meaning slow acclimitisation to their lights, placing them in the same part of the tank etc etc but in the end, their normal ones like green and purple are doing fine but the pink ones just melt away and die for no reason any ideas for why only the pink ones died?

deltec not for me...heard its a power monster.... when is the aquarama andysho?

gotcha bro i'm seriously considering hns...hoping to get a good deal and find out more bout it first like if it'll fit in my sump thanks for telling me more about my macro being not dependable for good results

i agree with bubblegum...i've seen alot of failure stories...much more than you'd expect to see with yumas which aren't supposed to be tough that's why i decided not to buy bio ocean's recent shipment of pink yumas
