The wife and I are so glad this fish now has a home.
I seldom get attached to a fish - I try to think of them as "livestock." But Osphronemus are unique in both appearance and behavior. Imagine! A...

Don't take up collection, we can work something out.
I go to Charleston every other week. Where there's a will, there's a way.

I'm confused most of the time.
I had no idea the "patient" would be an anemone. Changes everything.
Might be a good idea to put it in a "good" place in the main tank - good, but not overpowering...

He would love that tank. What size is it? - I know it's big 'cause I had those same fish.
Because of his size, you'd have to pick him up. You need a Rubbermaid container or something.

Uhh, Jimbo - for marine animals, no filter, no life.
Unless you mean no mechanical or chemical filtration.
That's all crap anyway.
For a hospital tank, set it up with live rock, skimmer and...

Thanks, Amy.

I forgot - that fish once bit Matt when we were working on the tank. Just an accident, though - nobody was hurt.

In a large tank, 150 and up, I think the Osphronemus would do well...

Angry Free freshwater fish

I have an Osphronemus goramy I'll give away free to anyone who wants it.
It's a really cool looking fish. It's about 16 inches long. It will need at least a 125 g. tank - really, a much larger tank...

I believe what I see, and I am suspicious of everything written. That's why I don't like to post anything about livestock I have not seen first hand.

I try to keep Copperbands in every tank I service, as well as the tanks in my home and shop. I'm not even sure how many I have. They keep Aiptasia under control, and don't hurt other inverts. Ron is...

Matt turned me on to light grids (from a hardware store) as tank covers. I have them on a 90 and a 125, both lit by halides.

I can tell no difference in the amount of light in an uncovered tank...

I spoke to Fuji recently. If I understand correctly, he wants to set up a take-out on one side and the fish shop on the other. A unique combination, and Fuji is a hard worker, so it'll probably work.

Fuji may be on his way out.
Barry will retire eventually.
Y'all may have to get your goodies from Chesapeake, Ohio.
Just a heads up.

I'd get rid of the wife, not the dog. Why not? Your wife will leave you eventually (after taking half of everything you own) but the dog will love you until it dies. Sounds like a no-brainer to me....

Jim's right about Stresscoat being an irritant. I don't know anyone who uses it, certainly not for marine fish. At the big fish auctions, aquarists use solutions of methyline blue to reduce stress in...

I’ve got those sea stars in at least four aquaria. They are harmless.

Matt likes expensive skimmers like Euroreef because he has a boss who pays him too much, so he has lots of expendable income. Plus, he can get stuff wholesale using a company credit card.
