COOL! Out of curiosity, what is that other little fish on it's shell?

I used to have some salamanders and I would place some frozen brine shrimp on a small flat rock just above the water line. (They would also ate slow bugs and grubs.) Your newts only compition then will be the fiddler crab, and the gold fish will clean up any leftovers that get pushed into the...

I had bought three, but their tank crashed a year ago and only one kuli and a few of my fish survived. They did love to play together when I had the 3 and now with only one he spends more time hiding. I thought to get 4 more, to make 5 total. I'm just worried about the bioload of my tank. They...

I get mine from my lfs, a great place in Portland Or called The Wet Spot. I've had it for 3 1/2 years now, and having moved him from my 10g to a 30g, I thought I might even get him a few more friends. I have no idea how long they can live but mine shows no sign of being short lived.

What a reward for doing a good deed! My sw tank looks awful at the moment too, with all of the rocks I just took out. I plan to move soon and am just going to leave it as is until I do. And I am going to get a bigger tank so I figuare why keep messing with it, maybe see if what is left in there...

Good Lord! Did you loose everything in your tank?

Wow that would definitely suck. Last time my heater cracked I was lucky enough to notice it and unplug it before I stuck my hand in. Did that happen to you today? I'd hate to get shocked like that but my son did. Not that this is fish related, but, this summer my son was electrocuted. He was...

I thought that I would come back and mention that I still have not had any awful reaction. THank God. I was scared all day that all of a sudden something would happen. But I am okay. What's wrong with it's size? I used to have 2 or 3 big bristle worms. I'm not sure cause they stretch so...

I was just cleaning out my tank, barehanded, stupid I know, and I touched a bristleworm. Having read up on them when I first discovered them (I have 2 that stretch out to about 9" and I saw a 1" one a week ago), I found that their bristles can be toxic and with some extremely painful. I about...

I tried to get some tank shots but my camera jsut stinks at the closeups.

They are definately going back to the lfs!

I am not sure of what kind they are other then hermits. I had thought they were little red legged ones, But when I saw them walking around in my tank their legs seem to be a bit longer then the average, and they are all brown with darker brown stripes. My peppermint shrimp likes the taste of...

I've had this feather duster for about 4 months now. Two days ago I introduced 5 new hermits (my shrimp ate 2 so it is three now). They discovered the feather duster and atleast one has been munching on the casing every time I check on them. Today it lost its crown. The crown is wedged in a...

SO, not enough of the tadpoles are surviving. I started with about 200 eggs and we are down to 6 frogs and about 10-15 tadpoles. Such is the nature of tadpoles, only the strong survive. I am going to put them in a 10g. Which leaves me with a 29g, planted, and the only thing in it are snails...
