Do fish lips grow back? I had a set back this summer with the fish tank. The neons got a fungus. I've lost 6 so far. Poor water quality. Lost a bunch of fish. Everything seems to be on track again except the neons. Some have lost their lips. :eek:

Well, it took care of it's self. Mrs snail is no longer with us.:(

About 2 months ago my mystery snail started laying on the bottom and not moving. It opens its shell, closes its shell. 2 weeks ago it started going up the sides of the tank again. Now its on the bottom again. I have no idea what is going on. The other one is fine and has even grown since the...

They have freshwater salt. That's what I use.

I found eggs today! Have to wait and see what happens. :invasion:

Thanks for the info Nigel. I know I have a male for sure. I have seen them doing some "funny stuff " . Thought they might be cleaning each others shells, got a feeling there is a lot more to it. :whistle: Will find out if I find eggs.

How do you know what sex they are?

How cool. Glad I only got two. Thanks for the pics Nigel. You had different sized ones. Do they breed?

How big do mystery snails get? Got two a few months ago, their getting pretty big. about half dollar size. Their pretty cool. :flowers:

Thanks Hensleyjk. Watertown is about 20 miles or so. Have to look into that. I'll also try spreading it thin and turning the hose on what I have. about 40#. I still need about 35#. :thanks:

I read the thread about the black blasting sand. I don't know where there is a tractor supply place around here. Looked in the yellow pages, no luck:( Guess my used sand wasn't such a good deal after all :facepalm: Another life leason learned.

I bought a bucket of used black sand. Not used long. I put some in a bucket and have been running water through it. It has this dusty stuff rinsing out of it. Will it ever run clear? Seem like a lota water for the amount of sand I am rinsing. :ermm:

What do I need to do to clean the sand. Its around 40 pounds worth, in a bucket. It was use a couple of months. Also, a med. to lg piece of driftwood. What do I need to do to it :confused: I don't think 40 pds is going to be enough so I'll have to get some more. When I get more sand do I run...

I like the veil tail angles. They are really showy. Pearl scale angles I find to beautiful, although I can't seem to find any. Have you seen the blue angles? I have only seen pictures. You are going to wind up with one angle down the road. They all think they should be the boss. Totally upset...

A few weeks back someone told how they froze cucumber. I'd like to try freezing it but don't remember how they did it. Such a waste to get this big cucumber and waste a good amount. Any ideas? Thanks :smilecolros:
