  1. Hey everyone,

    A friend of mine recently acquired a leopoldi stingray. When he introduced it into his 180 gallon tank, it has started to float at the surface. Any contact with the ray causes it to move, as if it is being woke up, and swims for a short time, but then returns to the surface and floats again. Any ideas as to how to fix this? Help would be greatly appreciated.

  2. I've seen a few of them. The amount and quality of the spots will vary a bit from fish to fish. Some of the spots on some individuals will be more elongated. Throughout the day and night the contrast between the spots and the base color will vary as well. Hands down, the nicest of the royals. Haven't seen them available in a while now.

  3. From what i heard from Spencer the Uraguay trip was pretty cool. I'd love to go check that area out myself. The fish down there are really fasinating, some stuff rarely if ever seen in the hobby up here. Alot of the fish to would survive in ponds during the spring/summer/fall up here too. Surprisingly resistant to the cold, can't wait to get some in! From the pictures I have seen the land is just so beautiful and untouched, shame it won't last like that forever. I'm sure someone will find a way to make money exploiting it soon enough.

  4. I totally agree with hillstream loaches are a better choice. Never had luck with flounders myself. I ones i've gotten to eat would only eat live and ghost shrimp was only thing that was slow enough for them to easy catch. And a big flounder eats alot. Hillstream loaches are way more active and more entertaining to watch, and alot easier.

  5. Some of the guys at work have talked me into keeping salt after I move. I've decided on which tank I'm going to use, it's 72" long x 12" wide x 24" tall. I have a Coral Life 48" 2x65watt 50/50 and a 24" 65 50/50 both compact flourescents. I don't want to keep fish, salt fish don't do it for me. I want soft corals/inverts. What kinds of soft coral can i support with these lights? Halides are not an option because frankly, I'm cheap, and the tank is only 12" so not alot of room.
