Eh. If they start breeding, excess fry would work for feeders. That's not much of a concern for me. :) Just wanted to make sure I could give these two little guys the best chance of growing big.

So, in the process of grabbing some pond snails for my puffers, two guppy fry were caught and scooped into the bag. It would have been too much work to get them back out, while keeping the snails in, so I decided to just take them home, (the store gave them to me free with the snails). So, I...

I was considering getting a loach, but I fell in love with the puffers at my LFS. I don't mind setting up a few feeder tanks to keep them well fed and spoiled. :) I love seeing them hunt, especially ghost shrimp.

Thank you! I have been doing research, and I guess I need to keep him in at least brackish, maybe transition to marine when he gets bigger. I'm going to be getting his 20 gallon tank tonight, and start setting it up over the next few weeks. I'll check that forum out!

I'm dealing with my first snail invasion at the moment, (but I don't want to completely get rid of the little guys, since they keep things clean), so I decided to grab what my LFS called a 'Leopard Puffer' to weed out the population as it comes. He's about 3 inches or so right now, and the store...

I set a few pond snails and a ramhorn aside in a small tank for my friends, and the rest in a half filled 1.5 gal bowl with most of the eggs I could find. When I was out buying some more plants for my 5 gal, I came across a new aquarium store in my area that had some leopard puffers in stock. I...

So, as the story always goes, you buy some live plants, get some 'free' pond snails and snail eggs. I was able to trim most of the eggs off of my plants and get them into a small holding tank, (.5 gal), along with most of the other baby snails. I just don't know what to do with them now. I'm...

I'm kind of liking the look of the amazons. Do they typically fan out?

Thank you all so much for the advice so far! I'll have to look into lighting a bit more then, because I would rather pay a lot initially for a kick butt system, then have to go back again and again to replace bulbs. As for the plants, is there anything that kind of stands out? Like, if I were...

I was thinking about going with an LED strip, but they seem really pricey. I'd be willing to pay the extra, I think, if I knew it would be worth it.

I have a 75 gal. tank that I am going to start setting up once I get a stand for it. Does anyone have any good recommendations for stocking with live plants and the fish? I was thinking about having 4 angelfish as the main attraction, but I'm not sure, (I've heard they can be pretty fiesty). I...

They are a blessing to your tank, and will help balance your chemicals. I have one in each of my tanks, and they are splendid!!! I recommend having at least one in any tank you have. :)
