Okay, that is really cool! Now I want a kuhli-kam

 

[DreaminginBlue]

Lol, silly little guys! They're moving in and making it homey.

 

[TMaier]

I suspect they tried to eat it and still haven't given up on trying to eat it. So they kept it close by.

 

[nirbhao]

This is what happens when you toss in an apple core.

 

[TMaier]

They make it look so yummy.

 

[nirbhao]

They make it look so yummy.

It was a topaz.

What do you feed? It looks like new growth is coming in lighter?

 

[TMaier]

Algae wafers and pellets with spirulina, crab pellets, broccoli, dandelion greens, zucchini and cucumber. Pea snailo. It's a smorgasbord.

 

[nirbhao]

Moved some sagittaria sublata over. I'm catching ramshorns in the isolation box for their Fluval Spec III on the way.

 

[nirbhao]

There is a point in the day when the snails climb up on the glass and partake in a synchronised poop. Does anyone else get this? I'm worried it might be related to the CO2.

 

[nirbhao]

Want fish in focus? Bribe them.

Even with my DSLR on sports mode, I had a hard time catching these guys. Lights all the way up. They're just too fast!

 

[toolman]

They're really cool, what kind of fish are they?

Pseudomugil furcata- forktail rainbow fish

 

[toolman]

Thanks, will have to research those, just got 5 endler guppy this week.

Just when I think I don't need more tanks or fish.[emoji7]

 

[nirbhao]

The male guppy found the entrance to the kuhli cove, but not the exit. Ugh. Now I have three gravid females who will probably hold until they get a male. Blarghety.

My daughter picked a handful of daffodils. I'm considering feeding them to the snails but want to make sure there's nothing that might be toxic. Thoughts?

 

[flchamp89]

There is a toxin. Cant remember name. Mostly toxic to animals. I dont know id be overly concerned with fish as I would wq.

 

[TMaier]

I wouldn't risk it. I have heard all bulb plants are toxic.

 

[nirbhao]

Google lead me to either terrestrial snails or the daffodil cichlid in all but one instance - a list of plants that don't attract gastropods. I had never heard that bulb plants were especially toxic. Fascinating. The stuff you learn. Thank you very much.

 

[flchamp89]

Not all....

 

[TMaier]

Snails don't touch them and squirrels may dig up the bulbs but don't eat them either. I keep thinking arsenic but am not positive.
