	My wrasse eat live brine shrimp and formula II like the rest of the
fish in my tank.  It's hard to say whether you should move it or not.
I have a lot of clams in my tank and the snails seem to attack only the
one crosea that was fairly weak while the rest of the clams in my tank
were snail free.  I find that it is very important to place a clam where
it can have a firm footing so it won't expand a lot of energy keeping
itself upright.  My weak clam didn't have a good footing. So only move
yours if you can find a good place for it.  The best way to spot snails
is to wait until the light has been out for at least half an hour, then
check the rim of the shell and the place where the clam stick its foot
out with a flash light.

I've had quite a few Kenyi (a mouthbrooder) spawns in my tanks 
with under gravel filters and have had no problems.  What I have 
seen in their behavior is the clearing of a rather large nest--like 
you say, going all the way to the UGF.  However, every _spawn_ that I
have witnessed has occured on top of a flat rock.  I provide
a good variety of rocks for my kenyi to play (and spawn) in and
they seem to be apreciative.  I've never bothered with turning off
the pump.

Some will say different, I'm sure.  This has jsut been my 
experience.

Summary: Anyone have experience using mercury vapor lighting for reef tanks?
Keywords: marine reef lighting

Has anyone tried using mercury vapor lights for a reef tank? I notice that 
HQ (a building supply warehouse place), has 175 W lights meant for outdoor
lighting on sale for < $30.  I have a 20 H tank with 45 lbs of live rock.
Currently it is lit with 4 20 W flourescents, 2 Chroma 50's, an Actinic 03 and
an Agrolite (wide spectrum plant bulb).  

According to Moe, MV has an acceptable spectrum, but not as high lumen output
as MH.  It looks like MV gives about the same lumens/watt as fluorescents. So
if I use a 175 W MV and two 20 W Actinics over my tank, I'll have the 
equivalent of 10 20 W fluorescents!  Is there anything wrong with this
picture?

I have a young oscar that I think may have Hole-In-The-Head disease.
It looks like there is a chunk chipped out of his forehead, right between
the eyes. 
Also, He has 2 horizontal streakes down one side of his body. It looks like
he scraped himself there or something.
I looked in Alelrod's Atlas, but it wasn't too helpful.

Does this look like hole-in-the head or not?

If so, how should I treat it?

	I recently purchased a 4" Green Terror. Unfortunately I failed to notice
some odd spots on his fins until I got him home. I am considering
returning him, but he gets along with my 8" oscar quite well, and I don't
know if I want to start 'trial-and-error'ing for a new tank mate.
	What I see is this: 3 small (1mm long) oval shaped spots on his fins.
Two on one pectoral fin, and one on the tail end of his dorsal. They are
tannish-yellow in color, and are raised. They may even be some kind of
parasite, I don't know. The area around the spots appears to be just
fine. No sign of soreness or infection, although I am certainly no expert.
	I haven't noticed any abnormal behavior. The fish was very active from
the moment I put him into the tank. Relatively calm for what I hear about
green terrors.
	I'd like to get rid of this as soon as possible, since I really don't
need to deal with yet another disease attacking my oscar. If you can
E-mail me it is preferred.

  A couple of questions.  Do you keep your Betta with other fish
and if so, what kind? Is it in a heated tank? They prefer temps
in the low 80's (80 - 84). Often other fish like barbs live to
eat fins of long-finned fish. Also, many remedies will not work
properly in unheated water.

Okay, I'll get straight to the point..

About a month ago I bought a pair of swordtails.  The female died the next 
day from causes unknown (none of my others are sick).  On Monday I 
purchased a female from my local pet store and now...

My male seems to have taken a dislike to my Angel, in the form of fin-nipping.
His dorsal fin already has a round tip.

My question is what should I do?  Is there anything I can do?  
I only have the one tank, so I can't separate them (:-<)...

Anybody?

P.S.  If it helps, I have:
	2 zebra danios (daimos?)
	3 black skirt tetras
	1 red-tailed shark (L. bicolor, I believe)
	1 spotted rafael catfish
	2 swords 
	1 angel

P.P.S.  Another Angel problem, his left eye is bulging outward.  I think I
	remember reading that this was a cichlid disease, but I don't
	have the book on me right now...  Given the above problem, 
	can anyone help?

Well, since there has been so many recent postings regarding hole-in-
the-head, and I'm tired of e-mailing 3 or 4 different people...

(info taken from the Manual of Fish Health, by Dr. Chris Andrews,
Adrian Exell, and Dr. Neville Carrington)

Please leave the above credits intact if you reproduce this text.

Hole-in-the-Head:

Caused by:  The flagellate protozoan, Hexamita, is usually involved
(also know as Octomitus).

Obvious symptoms:  Small holes appear in the body, especially the
head region, which gradually develop into tubular eruptions.  Very
often, yellow, cheesy strings of muscus will trail from the lesions,
leading some aquarists to believe that their fish are suffering
from a "worm infestation."  Affected fish often go off their food and
develop a hollow-bellied appearance, with pale, stringy faeces.
Lesions may also develop at the base of the fins and near the lateral
line.  Somewhat similar symptoms occur in a disease known as "head
and lateral line erosion" (HLLE), which often affects marine fish
such as surgeonfishes.

Occurence of the disease:  Hexamita often exists as a low-level
infection in the intestines of a variety of coldwater and tropical
fish, notably affecting cichlids--such as discus, angelfish, and
oscars--and gouramis.  [...]  Varoius factors, such as overcrowding,
low oxygen levels, unhygenic conditions, changes in temperature, and
poor diet [sorry, no mention of voltages, but it seems that anything
that induces stress is possible here], may cause the parasites to
multiply and then develop the acute symptoms described above. [...]

Treatment and control (paraphrased):  Best treatment is medicated
food, but if they aren't eating a tank water additive is necessary.

Furazolidone     50-75mg/kg fish     With feed everyday for 7-10 days.
Dimetridazole    5mg/litre           Continuous bath, may need repeating.
    "            40mg/litre          short bath for 48 hours.

Of course, commercial treatments are avaiable; if you use one, go by
the directions on the product.  The above will hopefully provide a 
guideline as to what ingrediants to look for.

I am planning to set up a tank which will have some dwarf cichlids.  Does
anybody have any recommendations on which food brand to use?  I was looking
at Hikari brand.  They have 4 different types: staple, gold, excel, bio-gold.
What is the difference between these?  Is "gold" ok?  Bio-gold is almost
twice as expensive as the rest.  Also, what size should I get for dwarf
cichlids?  Mini or medium size?
I have one Lyretail blue ram right now and he does not seem too keen with
the Teramin staple food that I am feeding him.  He would eagerly charge at the
food, such it in, chew, and then spit most of it out.  At least he is trying to
eat.  I have a female ram which just died yesterday from starvation (my best
guess since she seems to be in good condition the night before).
Thanks ahead for any suggestion.
