    Spixi snail eggs

    I'm not sure who is eating them, I haven't seen anyone eat them but I read that spixis will eat them. There are a couple of platies in there and a dwarf gourami. So, I don't know. Can I just use my hands to take them off the glass? Will they attach to the glass in the second tank good?

    Spixi snail eggs

    My spixi snails have been laying eggs and they have been getting eaten a few days afterwards. How can I move the eggs to another tank without harming the eggs?

    Funny Ferret & Fish Story

    I don't think he knew they were in there. He looked like a kid splashing in the water with his "hands" I think he was just playing because he wasn't reaching down in the tank. Plus, all the fish were down in the bottom and hiding.

    Funny Ferret & Fish Story

    I'm not sure if they would eat the fish or not. But if they caught one, I'm sure they would take a nibble. I can't let them out before I put the trash can out or they will knock it over and get trash everywhere. If there is a bag anywhere they can get to, they will get in it and they LOVE to...

    Funny Ferret & Fish Story

    I have 2 ferrets and the only time they get to come out of their cage is if I'm in the room because they get into EVERYTHING. So, yesterday I was doing laundry and I left the room to go get clothes out of the dryer. When I came back one of the ferrets had climbed up on my desk where I have a 10...

    Purple Fish?

    Thanks but a parrot fish is a little too big for my 10 gallon

    Purple Fish?

    Okay, I couldn't order the apistos from my LFS until fall so I decided to scratch that idea and I found some celebes rainbow fish that I liked so I got a pair of them. Plus, they can go with my purple guppy, now I just have to keep searching for more purple guppies.

    Purple Fish?

    Thanks, removedaststars! I think I'll be happy with these, I think they are very pretty.

    Purple Fish?

    Thanks everyone! I have decided to get some yellow apistogramma cichlids. Probably the umbrella cichlid. I'm going to put a purple background on it so they will really pop with a purple background. If anyone thinks that this is a bad idea (a pair in a 10 gallon), please let me know because I...

    Purple Fish?

    I have been looking at kribs and I think that they are really pretty. So I was looking up info on them. Can these not be kept by themselves (just one)? All of the info that I find on them says to keep a pair in at least 15-20 gallons. Well, even if I had 15-20 gallons, I wouldn't want a pair...

    Purple Fish?

    What about gold pristella tetras. Does anybody have any experience with them? I saw some at petco today and thought they were pretty neat looking.

    Purple Fish?

    I went to my LFS today and I found a purple guppy. So I got him but that's all I have so far. They had some gold tetras but I didn't really like them too much. I'll have to keep looking, it will probably just take some time to find what I'm looking for. Thanks for all your help.

    Purple Fish?

    Thanks justonemore! I would love to do a bigger tank but this is going to be my 5th tank and it's been sitting in the garage for a while and I couldn't stand it. I'm going to go look at my LFS tomorrow and see if they have anything. There is only one within 45 minutes that's not petsmart or...

    Purple Fish?

    Scratch the Boeseman's Rainbow idea. I looked them up and they get too big to have a school in a 10 gallon.

    Purple Fish?

    I've never heard of ruby barbs before. I'll have to look them up. Thanks! Oh, Does the Boeseman's rainbow fish ever get more of a purple color rather than blue? I read that somewhere I was just wondering if anyone knows from experience since every time I see a picture, they are blue. If it was...

    Purple Fish?

    I saw some really awesome looking purple guppies on aquabid. The only thing is that they were $50 for 3 and that was before shipping. I don't have that much to spend on 3 guppies. Maybe I can find some a little cheaper. I have a purple betta but I don't think I want him in there. Thanks for the...

    Purple Fish?

    I'm setting up an LSU themed tank and I want the fish that will be in there to go with the theme a little bit. I thought about tiger barbs, since the mascot is a tiger but I would rather purple fish and maybe some gold colored fish (not goldfish). My purple & yellow acei would be perfect but...

    Missing Pleco

    I don't know how common this is but I found mine under my tank stand. I guess he got out through the hole the filter goes in.

    Thanks! Next I'm wanting some of those nice zebra ottos but that may have to wait a little bit.

    Picking out fish

    I got them in yesterday. They are so tiny so they are hard to take pictures of. They are also very active. They have some really pretty color to them though. But here are some pictures. They aren't very good but you can get an idea of how cute they are. I even got a shrimp in the background of...

    I ordered some of the Rasboras and they should be in on Wed. I'm excited to get them in!

    Picking out fish

    I'm trying to decide what kind of fish I want in my 5 gallon planted tank. I have red cherry shrimp in there also. I've narrowed it down to either ember tetras, boraras maculatus, or boraras sp. Any opinions on what would look better with all the green & my shrimp? Or does anyone have any other...

    betta's tail curling/fraying?

    One of my betta's tails is curled a little like that. He is a crowntail though. I don't know if it is normal or not though because my other 3 don't have this and that one does. But his tail has been like that for about a month now and he seems very healthy. I have read that it is genetic in some...

    Newly planted 5 gallon

    Do you think I could add some dwarf clover in there? I only have low light. Some things that I have read say that it can grow in low light it just grows slower, and some things say that it needs higher amounts of light. Does anyone keep dwarf clover in a low light tank?
