We sell both wild …
We sell both wild caught and tank-raised fish. There are a limited number of fish on the market that are tank raised, but we try to bring them in for sale when they are available from suppliers, currently clowns and dittybacks are the most frequently offered types, though there are more species showing up every year as the science behind aquaculture expands. We do periodically frag corals that we have grown out in tanks here, and we also frag other colonies if the colony is ailing.
Check the chemistry …
Check the chemistry and equipment first to be sure everything is running properly and your water quality is pristine. Unfortunately sometimes there is nothing that can be done to help a fish, after a certain point, as it may be too stressed to recover. If the fish is showing any signs of disease, you may want to move it to a quaranitine tank to see if it can be treated with medication, but without more information, it is difficult to determine why the fish is ailing or if it can be helped.
can u help me …
can u help me please because My yellow tang fish tank raised is dying and I am just wondering what do u treat your yellow tang fish when it is almost dying or breathing in a home family aquarium reef? all the fish u selling are wild or tank raised? do u frag corals sometimes if they are large?
Man, a fish is for …
Man, a fish is for life!
Small spaces are …
Small spaces are not ideal but they are ok for short periods of time if necessary, though be careful if the clowns are already established they may be somewhat aggressive and a tiny tang may not be able to stand up for itself. It is of course best to choose fish that are appropriate for the tank that you have as opposed to exchanging them when they are no longer suitable.
Can I put a tiny 1 …
Can I put a tiny 1 inch yellow tang in my 20L if I remove my damsel, and or Magenta Dottyback, and just have my Clownfish. I would Put the Tang in my 40 gallon Fowlr once it gets too big. Then once it outgrows that, return it to my LFS for a store credit for a new fish. No hazing please. Thanks
my tang used to …
my tang used to nibble blanched spinach from my hand….i miss the little guy.
For the fish to …
For the fish to mature properly and thrive with other fish in the aquarium must be large enough for proper growth and activity. 55 gallons is the minimum recommended, but considering that we rarely house fish in a bare tank with no rock and no tankmates these fish are far more likely to survive and thrive in larger, well maintained aquariums.
It is a common …
It is a common misconception that fish will only grow to the size of their tank. It is equivalent to putting a child in a closet, it may have its growth stunted or incur abnormalities in body shape, or ultimately perish before it can reach its full potential.
honestly you can …
honestly you can have them in a 55!
they will get about the size of there enviroment
You could add a …
You could add a small yellow tang to a 55 gallon, but be aware that it will eventually need a larger tank and its territoriality may limit what else you can put on the 55 gallon. Once established, they can become aggressive particularly towards new additions to othe aquarium.
