So I have a biocube 32 led with all stock equipment and the following parameters: ammonia-0 ppm Nitrite-0ppm Nitrate - 15 ppm pH-8.0/8.2 (kinda colorblind so cant tell) so I’ve got a massive, and I mean massive, engineer goby named kashima (18-20” long). He’s going on 7/8 years old (my dad got...

I got my first acan/micro lord a few weeks ago. She (yep, my SO has designated this acan a "she") plumped up really well in the first few days, though over the last week or so I've noticed that she's been opening up more and more, with feeder tentacles and the inner "face" (guts??, technical...

I couldn’t supply my filefish with live coral but the whole reason I bought them was because they were eating frozen food in...

When I bought this clownfish, I didn't notice this bump on it until I brought it home. I was concerned for a while, but never found any information on it. I have had this clownfish for about two years now, and seems to be healthy, other than the lump on its side. It swims normally, eats...
