The little one seems to be quite the antagonist. It will go up to one of the bigger ones and nudge it. The bigger...

I purchased them on Saturday, so I've had them less than a week. They're my first fish in ten years, and my first ever saltwater fish. I'm surprised I still have three, as I was expecting two of them...

Convincing Green Chromis (Chromis viridis) to Eat Something Other than Frozen

My Green chromis will only eat:
a) Frozen Brine Shrimp, or

We're in an old house in Huntington Hills. The pipes I can see are not copper, but who knows what is behind the walls.

Wow! Some truly terrible moments have been documented in this thread.

I'm just starting out, and I've made a few mistakes. They pale in comparison to most of these, though.

This tank was started on March 17th, 2012.

I've had a couple of freshwater aquariums in the past, and they have always been epic failures due to severe algae blooms and crazy nitrogen.
