You better take that goldfish out in a HURRY. He won't survive long in a saltwater tank, which is what this thread is about...

Yeah. He's so stupid. The goldfish that have orange on them can all live in saltwater...

This thread needs photos. I want a swimming pool that has a glass bottom with a shark tank below it. This way when you go swimming it looks like you're swimming with gnarlyass sharks but you're safe due to the glass bottom. Prob not possible cause I guess the sharks would drown? For some reason I'm under the impression they surface to breath. Or am I wrong

sharks have gills. you are wrong. sharks will die, however, if they stop moving.

I like fishtanks. One of my friends has a nice saltwater tank. A couple of my other friends have freshies. I've never owned one but would like to at some point. I'd probably just go with the fresh. So fucking cool to look at. Especially when you're spun.

I love fishies but I'm not a gay fish.

if you need dry rock or live rock for your salt water tanks here's the place. This guy marc and my dad own this business, surprisingly enough they're doing pretty well for selling rock! Buy some shit from them if you're trying to pimp out your tank!

prices are actually pretty competitive. usually dry rock is $2/lb free shipping, and live rock I usually get from other hobbyists for $3/lb (although it tends to have pest algae and shit on it)

if anyone needs dry rock on the other forums I venture on, I'll pass the word

My dad has a 500 gallon tank in his basement that I took care of a ton and know pretty much everything about.

We have:
10-15 Rose Anemones
1 14" Red Sea Soft Leather Mushroom
Tons of green and orange polyps
About 20 Superman polyps (worth about $100 each. My dad is trying to get them to grow like our others that we've had for about 5 years and have completely encrusted some of our rock and look super cool)
Austrialian White Lightning Sponge (Look it up, coolest thing ever.)
2 Peppermint Shrimp
1 Harlequin Shrimp
Snails
6-7 Emerald Crabs
1 Sand Goby
1 Naso Tang
1 Copper Banded Butterfly
6 (1 Male and 5 female) Pink Anthias
3 Ocellars Clown's
1 Purple Tank
1 Blue Tang
1 Striped Tang
2 Cardinal Fish
1 Mandarin Goby
1 Blue Spot Jaw Fish (My Favorite fish)
Lots of small different colored Ricordia??? sp. mushrooms


And thats all I can think of for now.

We had 2 pipefish like 4 years ago but since then my dad has changed to a higher flow tank so they went back to the store.
