You probably saw it snacking on a shell after one shed it.

I think its about 30 days from saddle to babies. My vote is the fish are eating them, or if you are lucky they are staying hidden until bigger.

Yes. The only time they are not is during feeding. I feel like if it was a disease he wouldn't be around any more knowing it has been months.

I agree and that's why it bothers me. It was a colorful beautiful gbr and now it is a pale fish. Any ideas?

I just switched to pool filter sand and I highly recommend it. Really easy to clean and I like the look. If I remember correctly it was $10 for a 50 pound bag.

A while back I make a topic about my German blue ram being colorless and having his fins held tight to his body. It's been 6 months now and nothing has changed! He swims around all day eats fine etc. I decided to get a spray bar to help with the flow, thinking it was to fast and was stressing...

I would say : Pet junction in Somersworth Little critters in Exeter Petco in portsmouth (i know what you are thinking, but the employees are great and actually have a decent stock) The best would have to be Laconia pet center. It is a long drive but they have live plants, really clean tanks...

Hello, What are you looking for? If it's within driving distance to me, I have probably been there. I live in southern NH.

Don't remember. Either an auction I went to or a pet store. Just about everyone around me sells it from time to time, even Pet-Co. If you dont mind me asking, why are you so interested in java moss? Do you like the way it looks or maybe you have something in your tank you think might benefit?

The K is Kelvin. Sunlight is 6k-10k if i remember correctly. Color temperature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You cannot kill java moss. I broke down an old tank and put a bunch in a mason jar because I was thinking about using it again. Almost 3 months later I put it into an unlighted tank with no c02 or fertz and it literally sprang back to life. You will have no problem with it.

I actually just found the receipt from buying him. I have had him for exactly 20 days. Honestly I guess I don't know what I am looking for. He honestly seems ok. Hes coming up to the front of the tank for the first time in the last few days and ate a bunch tonight.

I'm hoping you didn't find out the hard way :( I'm honestly thinking about tearing down the tank and starting over. I just need to wait for petco to have another $1 per gallon sale so I can upgrade to the 55gallon. I would keep the 40 gallon breeder up but I wouldn't have anywhere to put the...

Also, sorry for the poor picture quality. As I said, he is still a bit shy when I'm around.

I currently have a German Blue Ram in my 40 gallon breeder. I have had him for a few weeks now. When I first got him he was very colorful, but now he is very pale and washed out. He also seems to hold his top fin close to his body at all times. He is just now comfortable enough with me to come...
