Hi All,
I was wondering where the best place would be to visit in order to take as many short courses as possible in marine mammal husbandry?

I know there are lots of aquariums and research centres in Florida, and I am also aware of some places in Hawaii. Does anyone have any recommendations? Im looking to travel for 2 weeks and so would need to take short courses lasting 3-4 days, or day courses.

Looking forward to hearing from anyone… please keep responses positive and constructive,

Thanks!

Ok, so I have a second hand tank, it’s 20g, it has 2 mated percula clownfish, 2 damselfish, 1 dottyback, and a pearly jawfish. I love to breed fish, and since my clownfish are a pair, I want them to lay eggs. They have taken to a mushroom very nicely, and enjoy swimming around it, and rubbing against it. Is this a significant place for them to lay their eggs? I also have an anemone, in case it’s not. But first I should ask: they have been a pair for 6 months, why haven’t they laid eggs yet? What can I do to encourage them to lay eggs? I feed them frozen brine shrimp, I hear that diet is a BIG part of spawning, and getting them to lay eggs. Also, do I need to give them their own breeding tank? If I do, what kind of tank will work? I have an eclipse tank with a small filter and light. Will that work? Because if it does, then I will do that. But if they don’t need their own breeding tank, and they can just lay their eggs in the regular tank with my other fish? Thanks a lot. Please give me lots of info, that’s what I’m looking for in best answer…

I am a new marine aquarist and I’m trying to find a good website that sells various salt water tank supplies, such as tanks, filters, skimmers, etc. I am also looking for a trusted supplier of tank furniture that can support 150+ gallon aquariums.
I’m in the U.S.

I have a 65 Gallon/250L Marine aquarium and am looking for a fish (or other) to keep the sandy substrate clean. My tank will have four percula clowns 1 yellow tang and a shoal of green or blue chromis. IT will also have live rock and coral. Any help would be much appreciated
