Description This is one of my super awesome little asteriniid starfish in my tank. This guy's a little under half an inch from point to point, I loves him! I couldn't believe how this photo turned out, I had to share it. :3

They live off the natural growth in the tank and sometimes the food that the fish don't eat.

Oh. I thought that all starfish were more active predators, and that you had to throw tiny clams in there for it to eat. Silly me!

Depends on the species. These are actually very very tiny and scavengers.

Oh, I see. Have you ever tried to time-lapse film its movements?

Shh, it's okay! Close your eyes for a bit and immagine your cute little starfish scooting around the tank in 500x speed. I know that it's making me feel happy!

I guess they take a fair bit in looking after no?

Had Tropical fish before and the lived for years but is not brave enough to have marine ones

would like to have a starfish they are so sweet how they sway in the water ^0^

wow really? That's so adorable!
The one I saw was the size of my hand, if I remember correctly.
I hate it they sell them near to beaches like a souvenir of the sea :/
It's so sad

It is sad. :< This guy came in on some rock, didn't even know he was there until a few weeks later. I have another kind in there too: [link] little brittle stars that are soooo tiny.

it must be so relaxing to watch them
but I guess it's really hard to keep them, I'm not sure if I could get used to do mantainance to salty-watered pets

You have your own tank, that is so cool!
Some time ago I bought two fish but
they died after two days. I have a
good tank with everything necessary
but I am afraid to buy other critters...

damphyr In reply to roseminuet [2009-02-20 18:59:14 +0000 UTC]

Awwe that's sad. You really have to make sure the tank is stable before you add any kind of life. :3

roseminuet In reply to damphyr [2009-02-24 18:03:19 +0000 UTC]

Yes, you're right. But I thought I did
everything that was necessary.
I am also upsed because at the pet
store they didn't tell me that the
kind of fish I wanted to buy was
the most pretentious... They only
cared about selling and make
money. I think shop assistants
should also give advice. <_<

Awww, I want him! I admire the fact that it isn't obvious you took this photo on a fish tank, even though I suppose that's the only way to take it! But hey, no glare, and great color! He's so cute!

This needs an "I'll nom yur fayse!" caption.

Not really, of course. It stands on its own. It is very adorable, after all.
