awsome pic best thing that could happen to a wasp

colouration is orange, blue and black swordtail or platy?

a genetic mutation so no reason not to be bar poor breeding lineage

don't just take out the top half of substrate as this is where your bacteria is mainly you may just expose a slightly more anaerobic layer may just be better on second thoughts to take it all out by syphoning then do water changes over next week or so keep an eye on your water parameters

yes it would be worth it just to see if that is the problem i have always been a fan of substrate but run with none now if you have fauna that turn it over it is good but without, it can be an organic waste trap remember when you remove it you are changing the balance of bacteria in the tank preheat some new salt mix for water changes afterwards personally i would remove 1/2 the substrate then the other 1/2 a week later

love this my fish is happy stuff hear "oh look the puffer is smiling at me" everyday

depressed people still eat and walk

you may find organic waste in your substrate is affecting your kh, ph

do you have a pic of the tank?

how long since the tank was set up? and does it have coral rock in it? or just rock from the beach there are no short cuts for the long life of a marine system

Caroline lost a fingernail to it

your tank is still cycling cold marine takes longer to cycle, so all your stages will last longer the white patches maybe die off

yes those are teeth uses them on crabs and mussel shells

are you filtering your own top up water or buying bottled water your system could do with a skimmer and how often are you cleaning the top filter on the tank not a great fan of using the top filters for marine i am afraid you have a low bio load which is good do you test for magnesium?

so long as it is alright to use on polystyrene it will be all right no matter how good your undercoatings are there will be small holes the resin will get through and eat away the poly underneath

something african

you say filtration is mostly chemical what do you use to filter the water, sump? organic waste can affect your kh and this in turn will affect your ph

yes i thought so too still trying to find specific species

there is one for sale on your favourite auction site

will take a bit out tomorrow, need to ID it as well that piece is about30cm square may try some in the tropical as well

:sml1: yep, straight away

look under rocks, log, bark etc

cooler weather chases the crickets inground
