Watch Captain Ben Chancey of the “Chew On This” Saltwater Fishing Show battle the largest fish of his life while nearly getting pulled overboard. His rod snaps in two and he has to land the fish by hand. The Goliath he lands is nearly 8 foot long and an estimated 600 pounds.

I have just put my live rock in my saltwater fish tank and i seen this little creature would be a little bigger than a match head stuck on the glass of my fish tank. It looks like it has a cone shaped body with its head or whiskers coming out of it. Is this a bad creature or good? It has a white color, it's body or the cone looks like a little pyramid shell. Any help with this question is appreciated
I agree with the post above me sounds like a snail
As far as bad stuff, some would say the bristle worms and fire worms are "bad" however they can clean up your tank. You just want to keep them from over reproducing Peppermint shrimp can keep them in check.
Even cured live rock can contain anything from clams, corals, plantlife, featherdusters, tube worms, sand fleas, shrimp, starfish even in larger pieces cuddle fish or even an octapi. I had a piece which had a cuddlefish.
that is the beauty of live rock. You don't know what you will get or what is going to grow on it
This is a big saltwater tank with a pair of Emperor Angelfishes, Bluecheek Butterflyfishes, a group of Yellow Tangs, Green Chromis and Unicorn Fishes.

and how long would a freshwater fish live in saltwater before dying?
Depends on species; for example Tilapia can survive, live and thrive in both the mediums. Some macrals (Surmai, Bangda etc) come to sweet water estuaries for spawning, so do some other fishes, others may survive from a few minuets to some hours in sweet water.
Blue, Donkey, and Newbie. Blue Ring Angelfish, damselfish, and clownfish.
Donkey is mean to Newbie. But hopefully they will get along better after a day or so.

Learn the slow trolling methods using both natural & artificial baits and rigging techniques & tactics to catch sailfish. Downriggers are one of the most effective methods of saltwater fishing for all types of fish - pelagic, migratory & bottom species. This program also shows you how to use downriggers, which baits & lure are the most effective for different species along with the correct tackle and boat speed.

We have a 125gal saltwater tank and we have 2 clowns, little puffer, little lionfish, bleeny, we have found that tangs are so fragile, slight change in the water they just die, while these other fish live, any ideas
By "little lionfish" I'll assume you mean a dwarf rather than one that's still young (lions will eat anything they can fit into their mouths).
Some possibilities would be green chromis, scissortail blennies, or chalk basslets (all species are schooling fish that stay small enough to keep in an actual school in a home aquarium), any of the cardinalfish (I personally like Bangaii cardinals if you can get these captive bred), longnose hawkfish (will eat tiny shrimp that come on live rock but are okay with larger ornamental shrimp like peppermint, cleaner, and fire shrimp), or royal gramma. If you want something slightly more aggressive, look at dwarf angelfish such as coral beauty, flame, or Potters.
Be very cautious about your puffer - even though small now, most don't stay that way and these are territorial/aggressive fish that can do serious harm to tankmates.

i want to know how much having a saltwater fish tank would cost to have it serviced.
I've had marine tanks for 20 years and really never understand why everyone says they're so hard to manage and maintain. The initial startup will cost a bit. You need a decent sized tank (55 gal+ recommended), good lighting (at least one 10,000k full spectrub bulb and one actinic bulb for a fish only tank)…a heater..good filter system (I recommend cannisters as they are cost-effective and easy to maintain but there are several options out there) ..a good test kit and I also recommend a protein skimmer and a u/v sterilizer (you can price out all of this on www.drsfosterandsmith.com easily enough). Once you add in sand and water (if you choose to buy it from a pet store) you're probably looking at about $500-600 not including live rock or fish…maybe a bit more. After that though it's pretty easy. I've never used a "fish service" as I think the reason for having a tank is to interact with it. The 20% water changes we do every month or so take all of 20 minutes…feeding takes no time at all and is a blast to do.. water testing takes maybe 10 minutes (you can even bring your water to the pet store for free testing in most stores now) and if you don't overfeed or overstock the tank you will rarely have to fix any chemical problems. So figure about 30-45 minutes a month in servicing..I wish my dogs and cats were that easy! And keep in mind you have us to answer questions too!
Welcome to the salt water world! Enjoy!
