Thanks for all the suggestions. I should look at all those factors. But my fish is doing much better. Yesterday evening he was recovered. He is acting normal and eating. Maybe he did eat a worm and got a little sick. I do have a few glass anemones I have to get rid of... I'll keep an eye on him...

I just did a 15% water change and now it's down to 20, which I believe are acceptable levels. I can do another 15% change in a few days to get it lower. I think it was at 30 cause the week prior I was gone for a week on vacation. Just before I left the tank was due for a water change but I had...

No, not that I can tell. Right now he's hiding in a hole making his cocoon. He's just breathing rapidly and resting in the bottom of the hole. Not eating. The other fish are fine.

My 6 Line Wrasse is not looking to good this morning. Yesterday he was fine. Eating correctly and lively. This morning when I turned on the light he "didn't get out of bed." He's breathing rapidly and not moving or eating. Sometime this morning he went inside of a hole and is just resting on the...

My hermit crabs never ate anything other than brown algae. My peppermint shrimp died 2 days after I bought him. How about a cleaner shrimp? Will they scavenge the ground floor good?

Dead Goodness! Shot it! Shot it! Don't watch if you are easily grossed out! YouTube - Bristle worm

Are there any good creatures that will pick the bottom of the tank of left over food/flake food/shrimp?

I'm not afraid the worms will damage anything because I don't have any coral... for now. They just look really nasty and I want them gone :dryer:

Arrow crabs eh? I might try that too... wait. I remember they are ugly! I'll think about the arrow crab. Why will the population significantly decline as the tank ages?

How effective is the coral banded shrimp? I spoke to the guy at the fish store and he said they MIGHT eat them if there really isn't anything else. He said it was better to get the 6 Line Wrasse but I've never seen him eat a worm.

I found this post to find an explanation to my clown fish unusual sleeping behavior. I just got them a few days ago. They never seem to stop moving, even at night. At night they wiggle back and forth in place. Usually against the current, I guess so they can stay in place. I woke up around 3:30...

OK. Thanks for the input. I have a small tank, 12 gallons, no coral, two small live rock. I can easily dip the live rock. I can try the trap or replace the substrate. I don't think I have an infestation like the 200+ worms though. At least, not yet. If anybody else has any suggestions please...

I need help with a bristle worm infestation. I know exactly which fish dealer I picked them up at. There are many of them buried in the sand. I can see them from the other side of the glass. How do I get rid of them? I read that I can scoop out the sand sections at a time and pick them all...

Never mind. I went to the fish store and they recommended frozen shrimp. Problem solved.

I knew it! Those fish made me think they're still hungry but they're really glutinous! Those porkers! Thanks.

Hello. I finally joined a forum to answer all my fishy question needs. I've had a 12 gallon for over a year now and if I ever need info I've read books, asked my fish dealer, or surf the internet. I've noticed these forums can give quick and knowledgeable responses and they are from actual...

Thanks for everybody's help! Looks like no getting rid of my expensive fish for me!

I just bought a 6 Line (Watermelon) Wrasse 2 days ago. I'm wondering about his eating habits. I've never seen the wrasse eat. I've given regular fish flakes, 1 or 2 small shrimp pellets, mini sinking fish pellets (specifically for 6 line wrasse, clown fish, etc). He constantly searches the...

I just bought two clown fish yesterday. I fed them just a pinch of flakes and watched. They ate it right away within 1 minute and was still running the top of the water looking for more. Fed them a little more and they ate it all. Fed them a third time. Then fed them dried brine shrimp. About 4...
