    LFS Who do you rate for livestock and care?

    I get a 10% discount card on livestock but that's it. They will take Fish and corals and freshwater fish for rehoming but they wont give you any credit :( Many places around here wont take fish.

    LFS Who do you rate for livestock and care?

    Life span of fish in Reef aquarium

    Does anyone have experience of having long living fish in their aquariums? And do tangs and dwarf angels live long? Im guessing they probably live longer in our tanks than in the ocean due to predation? will Be interesting to hear your views.

Im going to have to name my fish if I left it to my 10yr old he would name them Dave, mike, and Paul ect, Nothing wrong with those names BTW just not very fishy IMO. Is there a fish name...
