eating

Hi everyone, Over the last couple of weeks some of my Boeseman's Rainbow have not been eating. It started off with just one and he ended up dying after a week. One more just died yesterday and now a third one is not eating. I can't find any information on this and it's starting to worry me...

So my discus are ALWAYS peaceful little guys (or big in this case). I have always been curious about their behavior while and after eating. They get really aggressive towards one another and it climaxes at one point. It's a really intriguing thing to watch. Anyways, I capture the whole event on...

Hey everyone, I discovered that my one of my pairs first spawns was just eaten by a few hundred little slugs. I noticed them awhile ago in some of my tanks so I made sure that I had endless in every one to eat the slugs. I though that had done it but I guess they were hiding in the sponges...

Interesting article in the NYT about how rabbitfish take turns eating while one watches for predators: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/29/science/one-fish-stands-watch-while-another-eats.html

My flowerhorn was in a tank with some parrot fish for about 6 months now. Last week I checked on the tank and found her barely clinging on. I was not sure why since there was very little aggression in the tank. I transferred her over to my quarantine tank and couple days later she spits up 2...

Hi folks, I recently purchased this sunshine peacock. I didn't have a quarentine tank available, but since I bought him from another forum goer I decided to go ahead and put him in the community tank. It has been almost a week and he is just getting thinner. I dont see any signs of ick or...

So I have a few "problem fish" who aren't eating any thing. My 6 or so inch delhezi and my 4 3 inch balzanis. The balzanis are in a 30 gallon with lots of hiding spots and alot of filtration, nitrates and amonia are 0, temp is around 76, and I believe ph is around 7. The delhezi is in a 55...

My flowerhorn has stopped eating. Also has white slime from bowels. The only thing I have done differently was I moved to a smaller tank. I have tried feeding different foods. I hqve treated for internal parasites. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have had at least 3 successful yellow calvus spawns (but no survivors for various reasons). It seems they are still actively spawning and have been doing so for quite a while, but no fry are emerging. Could it be that my MTS explosion could be eating the eggs in the shells, especially at...

Just wanted to show an example of the algae eating capabilities of amano shrimp. Piece of wood with moss infested with bba: 2 days later after being added to a tank with 50 amano shrimp (subadult/1" my holding tank for sales):

I picked up a pair of these guys at the last auction, small, about 1.5", and compared to the rest of my tangs, they probably get 1 piece of food for every 10-15 that the rest of the herd do. I know they prefer live food but that really isn't practical for me. Are they notoriously finicky, slow...
