MARINE AQUARIUM

I posted about these 2 aquariums recently.

The 1st one is just a small cube and some of the fishes and corals are not very healthy. The Regal Tang (scientific name: Paracanthurus hepatus) is suffering from a bad case of Saltwater Ich or white spot disease. I love the yellow Banana Wrasse.

Links on the fish and ich are shown below for reference:

The 2nd aquarium is definitely healthier and has more fishes and corals. The Yellow Tang (scientific name: Zebrasoma flavescens) is a beautiful addition to the large tank. A link on the fish is shown here:
