That sucks, sounds like those assassins are taking over your tank :( I would be very upset too if my nerites we're run off by my assassins! Just curious... Why don't you remove the assassins to another tank? Or to the hob? Personally, I prefer the nerites over the assassins :) more...

Sorry you lost one... They are so cute:( IME... I have three small horned nerites with my breeding assassins and no casualties as of yet. And it's been about 6 months for the horned nerites in that tank. Maybe that one didn't do well acclimating, did you see the chase and kill, or just find...

Hey PeacockKeeper, how are your new fish doing?? Hope they have settled in well :)

I'm in Lancaster NY not far from the Buffalo airport. Too bad your not closer... I'm changing my set ups and will be selling/trading a bunch of stuff soon. Also, I am getting rid of all or my live bearing Lyretail Mollies... Too many fry for me to keep up with lol. Kinda like guppies... Lol.

Hello CcJ23, just browsing and found your thread. The setup looks great, sorry about you 30gal leak :( Are you in the Buffalo/WNY area??

Thanks Preyas1207, Fdsh5 and DelFisherman... I really appreciate you sharing your experiences. I feel a lot better getting tips and tricks here from real hobbyists rather than spending hours upon hours reading garbage from websites... Lol. I can't be sure since this is my first time with eggs...

Yep, I'm sure we're not the only ones... that's why this is such an addictive hobby :)

How long until I will be able to see a sign that they are alive/viable? Like the eyes growing or something. Oh, and how often should I change the water and meth blue in the floating container with the eggs? Should I use tank water or tap with dechlorinator?

Omg, lol... I just bought some mts to try to get a colony going so I can give my assassins some treats, hehe. Never thought I'd be buying snails to grow more snails, to feed the snails I bought, to rid myself of snails... Lol

Ok, thx. In the future I would rather use the cherry shrimp with tank water in a breeder box or net, with airstone instead of meth blue so I know they are getting fresh water constantly. For now, How often should I change the water in my floating container? It's a real pain, and messy to keep...

Oh, lol... I just realized that you know my friend that I'm getting the cherrys from tonight... Brandon. He's working right now. So technically I'm getting decedents of your shrimp hehe

Thanks again Fdsh5, I will look into getting some... I don't use any live food right now but I'm willing to it that's what they need. And it looks like I may be able to get some cherry shrimp from my friend later so that should help. Do I still use the meth blue with shrimp in there? And do I...

Lol, too funny :). My assassins have devoured every snail no matter the size including apple and mystery snails, cherry shrimp have disappeared with no body found for evidence... Lol. The only survivors are my nerites... Which I bought specifically for that reason. Once I got pond snails as...

Thanks for replying! I only have Amano shrimp, no cherrys... Lfs closed already being Sunday. I will try to get some tonight from a friends tank. If I can't get them today will it be too late tomorrow? and put them in my marineland HOB box too... Love them. Also, I have hikari baby bites...

Update, took all he eggs that I could find... Put in a clean and well rinsed food container with meth blue. Drilled holes in the lid for airstone and venting and floated it in the tank. That's all I know about the process being my first time with them. Any tips or tricks would be greatly...

I've only bread live bearers so any advice would be very helpful. I don't know what to do with them exactly.

Oops, I miss typed about the "trap door"... Lol. But they do have hard shells and live with my assassins just fine :)

They look great!!!

Your very welcome! Glad you liked it :). What fish did you get? Also, I've been wanting to find someone local that may want connect to share shipping costs from online dealers... So if you order online let me know and maybe we can save each other some cash... Lol. I'm thinking to order...

They usually have a nice selection of African Cichlids at the fish place, I don't remember if they had peacocks when I was there yesterday. Also 42 Aquatics has a brackish/cichlid section but I didn't look today, the owner is usually pretty good at getting things you ask for quickly. A few...

What are you looking for exactly?

42 Aquatics in East Aurora has some nice fish/plants and nice looking wood/caves/accessories. The owner Jessie is almost always there and he is very nice to deal with too. I was there today, and I never leave empty handed... Lol. They just got a shipment when I was there. I really like Fish...

You can get Nerite snails to live with assassin snails. They have very hard shells and a "trap door" to protect them from the assassins. I have many of them both living in one tank for over 2 years and no problems.

@Silverwater, did you get your German Blues from fishplace, Aquabid, or do you breed them yourself? Would love to see pics if you have any :). Also, I was wondering what temperature you keep their tank at?

Thanks, will do... But I really like using this app for fish related info :) I'm browsing the forums here more than I go onto Facebook... Lol
