I think you should feed them every 5-14 days. I have one BTA that has refused to eat and it has been slowly starving itself to death for over a year now. (I kind of wish it would just hurry up or...

I think AquaReeferMan is right. You can QT one of them for a short period, but if they continue fighting, you'll need to separate the two. You can then add a new Juvie to attempt to get a pair.

It does sound like the female isn't doing well. I'd be more inclined to trap the male as he can take the stress of a new environment. Just leave the female in peace and see if you can build her...

I agree with above. It sounds like the clowns never adjusted and weakened.

Derasa Clam Positioning

I have a 2" clam and I've tried several times to perch him on flat area of LR, but he always ends up in the sand. I've read they aren't supposed to be in the sand, but that seems to be a difficult...

I found a snorkeling case for my canon powershot. It works really well for aquarium photos and has a macro mode. Just soak in fresh water and dry before opening.

DSB Detritus Build-Up

Any good recommendations for Detritus build-up? I inherited a 100 gallon tank with a DSB, but I've been battling high nutrient loads since I got it. I suspect that the DSB is loaded with detritus,...

Scrape early and often. :rollface: My magnet cleaner usually does the trick, but if I leave it a few days, then I have to get a razor blade and go after it.

I've been using the Aqua Medic Controller. The only small issue that I have is that it flips to Celcius on every power blimp, but it keeps the temp the same. Another downside is that it's a large,...

I mixed true percs and a maroon. True percs disappeared and haven't been seen again. Presumed dead.

Are you sure it's a BTA? I would think a maroon would dive right in.

You could try a tomatoe, but I'm skeptical that it would work.

I'd fashion a cover and maybe use some floss under the cover. It will help muffle the sound.

I've only had problems trying to mix clown species. My maroon killed a pair of true percs, but that was a newbie mistake of mine. Otherwise, my maroon has been a good tank mate.

True or false percs? BTA is not a natural host anemone, but false percs will take to it an aquarium. I've never tried myself. I'm not sure about true percs.
