As the other guys said, Fairmount is hit or miss on fish while their corals are pretty much always "miss". They do have a couple of nice display tanks though, so it's worth stopping by even if their...

Don't get me wrong, I love the Orange. I've lived most of my life in CNY and go to several games every year (including this year). But this year's team wasn't going to make much noise in the NCAAs...

A lot of people put a piece of PVC pipe in their tank for an eel to hide in. It's ugly but they love it, and you can always bury it in liverock to hide it.

Perculas would indeed be dinner but you might try a pair of bigger, more aggressive clowns like Clarkiis or Maroons. I've had a big Clarkii in with a Porcupine Puffer for years without issue. ...

My neighbor had the plow guy stuck in his driveway this morning too! I walked over to see what was going on and only one of the truck's four wheels was touching the ground. Guess he's a little hung...

My huma would eat a shoe if I put one in there. Just go for variety and try to trick him into eating a few veggies in addition to lots of meat. Your trigger will be healthiest if he gets at least...

Nice fish! I love the first picture, with the tang hamming it up for the camera and the trigger lurking in the shadows, looking to start trouble! Oh, and the tusk in the back who is mesmorized by...

This is why you should never buy a fish without watching it eat first. No matter how pretty they look in the store, they won't live if they don't eat.

Manderins need a mature tank as well. I also expect that a manderin might eventually be dinner for the trigger.

Need Ideas

I have a 54g tank (plus a 20g sump). Currently it has an open top (I do own a glass top but it doesn't work with my MH).

The only fish I had in there jumped out a few weeks ago (found him dead on...

Active Swimmers and Tank Dimensions

I am planning on building an in-wall tank over the course of the next year. I would like for it to be big enough to house some of the more active aquarium fish, such as tangs and triggers.

Two suggestions:

2) Try using a feeding stick and making the krill "dance" in front of him. Maybe you...

Yeah, I know. I'm planning a 150g for next year. So I'm mostly wondering if the two would be okay together for a year or so in my 54g, then for life in a 150g.
