Geez, I'm all about caring for one's pets but when you go out like that on someone for owning a specific fish that's just bad form. Bad form, indeed. Even if they have been injected with a dye these fish are far better off than they are in their natural environs. Are you vegan? Do you have...

Right. Well, I just got the MTS. No, not in my own home, but vicariously through my girlfriend who now is the proud owner of a 46G fresh. She's taking my Black Ghost Knife and one of my Rainbow Sharks. This leaves me with 1 Rainbow Shark and 1 Featherfin Cat in a 29G well planted. So, I want...

lol I'd love to have some, but I think my catfish might snack on the fry Besides, kind of a long trip from ON to GA, no? ^_^

Wow, that is a beautiful fish.

Rainbows are roughly 2 and 3 inches BGK 3.5-4inch Feather 4inch Minnows between 1/4" and 3/4"

Yep. A few days back I was having issues with a pond-snail infestation. Well... They're all gone. Overnight. I can't find a single one of them and there were 8+ larger (1/2cm snails in the tank.) Perhaps one of my fish ate them? 2 Rainbow Shark 1 Black Ghost Knife 1 African Featherfin...

I cycled with two Rainbow Shark and heavy planting without injury to the fish but, if you have the patience, fishless is the way to go.

Update: My girlfriend might take the Ghost Knife and one Rainbow Shark off of my hands. She's going to set up an old tank she has. Says it's much larger than my 29G, so we'll see. So, with those two large, predatory biomasses gone, I gotta think about what fish to replace them with.

My Rainbows actually appear to be doing quite well together. At first they were quite agressive and territorial but, since I added the two new fish, they've calmed down and will actually sort of "watch each other's backs." As for the Ghost Knife, I'll do my best to get a new home for him. Last...

Hmm, that's no good. I was told he wouldn't get above a foot or so. Damn... That's no good... You see, I can't get a bigger tank. I can only have a 25G in my dorm and I pushed it to 29G. Looks like I'll be starting a tank at home, too. MTS setting in. =p ><

o.O Can you tell your snails to Email my snails? I want the little buggers to feel free to climb right out whenever they feel like it. =p

But, really. This started out exclusively as a "snail help" thread, but then I actually bothered to look around and, well, all my questions got answered... except... My tank has 5+ small snails which I believe to be of the "pond" variety. I'd love to have a fish to eat these small snails and...

I havn't changed water today, and I followed the directions exactly... Will try another test again after I finish cooking lunch, I suppose. [Edit]My tests before showed a near 0.00 level for ammonia (the test water turned a deep amber color), but, correct me if I'm wrong, I should still get a...

Yep... That's right. For whatever reason, my Master Test Kit reads nothing. 0. Zip. Nada. It worked when I first used it (2 days ago) but when I went to do a test today, all of my results (Ammonia, Nitrate, and Nitrite) came back perfectly clear. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?

Best I've got at the moment is 1WPG. 30W in a 29G tank. Can upgrade fixtures if necessary, though.
