But what to do...

    I want to keep live food.

    What is the best way to keep live food? I was thinking a 1 to 3 gal cheap tank. This would be for my Dwarf Puffers. I feed them frozen bloodworms or frozen brine shrimp. I think live would be better for them and possibly cheaper in the long run for me. And also a dumb question... my boyfriend...

    Yay!!! SO Excited!!!

    I finally have my dwarf puffers!!! So excited!!! I've had the tank cycled forever now and been waiting on the LFS to get a shipment of them in. I've had 4 otos and 4 ghost shrimp. The puffers are still getting used to the tank, they travel in a gang. I would get pics but they keep moving around.

    Ideas please!!!

    So, Petsmart had a sale on a 56 gal with stand, and I couldn't pass up. Haven't picked up the tank yet. But I also hadn't planned on getting a big tank anytime soon (yes 56 is big for me, I have a 20 gal freshwater and a 3 gal nano reef) so I haven't planned on any fish for it! I don't even...

    Ok so seriously....

    What happened to Aquatic-Hobbyist? It was such a great forum! A few years ago I was on there every single day. I miss everyone on it! (though I forget everyone's names *doh*) I haven't kept fish in about 2 years so I quit visiting the forum. Now I'm getting back into it and its gone!
