I will contact Siva...she always gives great advice :) The ADF tank is actually a 29 long, so it's not horribly deep- they seem to do great getting to the surface with no problems. The diatoms seemed to have decreased, so maybe they are on the way out. I added a Mystery snail a couple weks...

What is that? (forgive my ignorance!) Ok so I just looked up diatoms & it sure sounds like what I'm seeing. The color was actually a rusty orange/brown in the beginning. Just one question- what would be good tank mates for the ADFs and Mystery snail to do a little diatom munching? Would...

So under the bright light it appears more dark brown than black... This shell is usually a pinkinsh and blonde color.

I will try to take a photo right now...

It almost looks like a black powder that has settled there. It wipes off fairly easily. It is flat to the surface of whatever it's on, doesn't seem to have any shape or dimension, just collects on everything.

I have a 29 gallon freshwater aquarium set up, fully cycled and stable water conditions (via API master test kit) for several months. Currently there are 4 African Dwarf Frogs and a Mystery Snail residing there. Recently (in the past 3 weeks or so) I have noticed a black substance starting to...

Yeah!! I love it! Now I'm singing that song in my head... No worries jumping off topic- this thread was all about smiles :D

Actually my guppies didn't hardly notice anything was going on. (other than high fiving each other every time I brought the net up with a frog & not one of them!) It's definitely some work, but my ADFs are just so tiny, they are too small for the pellets. If this was going to be anything but...

I tried the turkey baster & a set of chopsticks, but the guppies attacked the bloodworms every time before the frogs could get to them! I found out pretty quickly that they needed a private cafeteria or it wasn't going to work. These little frogs are the cutest little things I have ever seen...

So here's an update...after some more research, some fantastic advice from several knowledgeable people and using my smarticles, I have figured out a possible solution for feeding my ADFs without worrying that the guppies will eat all their food! I took a food service deep dish and filled it...

I automatically assumed Horshack was from Welcome Back Kotter, cause I've never seen Watchmen! A great name regardless :) As for Frank...OMG! The fishy equivalent of jumping out a highrise window during a fire...:eek: what a brave little guy!

LOL Love love love Horshack!! Sorry about Frank...perhaps he overate!

:lol:She will be thrilled to have given you a smile & a giggle! I count myself lucky to have a 9 year old who I absolutely adore hanging out with. We laugh constantly together (it speaks to my immaturity perhaps?) Whatever...I love that kid!

TV and movies in general have sure influenced a lot of Arabella's choices in names. I gotta say though, that my favorite to date is the newest addition to our family...Vivian the Amphibian. I can't stop laughing! :rofl:
