Reading these posts has helped me realize that I'm not as stressed/bad off as I thought I was! :mrgreen: Hang in there everybody, and remember to enjoy this time for what it is - try not to let it drive you crazy.

Hi, I have heard that most rainbowfish have very narrow throats and sometimes they will choke on food or get something lodged in there. Not sure if this is the case with your rainbowfish. It wouldn't hurt to try feeding him pea soup (a skinned pea, nuked for about 30 seconds). Squish the pea...

My pleco is even eating the green parts (skin) of the cucumber and zuchinni. He never used to, until recently.

Hey Sudz, Congratulations on your purchases. I hope the fish is ok. On a side note, if you have adequate space, both the cherry barbs and rainbowfish would prefer to be in a group totaling at least 5 (preferably 7 or more). Just a thought. :)

:P That DOES sound gooood.... slurp

or....we could shake things up and try that wonderful Jones Salmon Soda. hehehe :mrgreen:

BrianNY, Out of curiousity, what would you have for trimmings to "dress" your NY pastrami??? :clown:

Hear! Hear! I'm ALL for that! :P :mrgreen: Turkey's ok...but grilled venison steaks - YUM. And how can you go wrong with lobster??? I say we start a new movement.... :mrgreen: 8)

Another tidbit.... Calories don't count on Thanksgiving Day!! :D :D :D

Thanks Brian! :D Christmas is my favorite....then Easter....but Thanksgiving would be my 3rd favorite. Mostly because I love my family and it's a time to really slow down and appreciate them. (and gorge on yummy food) :mrgreen: :lol:

:cry: :cry: :cry: I'm so sorry! I was hoping he would pull through. :(

I am thankful for my family, for my husband, for wonderful friends, for my church and for good health. I am thankful for you folks here at AA who brighten my day and help me to iimprove at a hobby that does so much for my sanity. :mrgreen: I am most thankful for the love and mercy of God and...

you may want to lower the water level or bring Betta closer to surface to make it easier for him. It sounds like he may have a fungus but I don't know what meds to suggest off the top of my head. Hopefully others will chime in. Good luck and sorry he's sick. :( If he does pull through...

Qtoffer, where do you get banana leafs like that??? This recipe sounds intriguing...I cook tilapia frequently. Can you PM me the details?

:wave: :multi: :multi: :multi: It's great to have you here on the forum Chuck! :D

Corys prefer to be in groups of 3 or more....does she already have 2 snails? If not, just get 1 snail, 3 cories and the 2 platys. That should be fine on the bio-load. Adding hardy plants will help. I wouldn't add anything to altar the chemistry too much....but others may know more about that.

Thanks, everybody for the reassurance! I may even get some more buddies for Speedy and plop 'em all in the big tank. Then the 10g tank will be "bachelor pad" for a lucky betta. :mrgreen:

Thank you all for the responses. I remember back when I had my first tank about 5 years ago, I had a mystery snail in with some tetras (I think)... and they sucked his body out of his shell. :( It was quite traumatic. I may try putting Speedy in the big tank and keep an eye on him... Thanks...

Any thoughts...?

Hi folks, I have a quick snail question. Would it be ok to move Speedy (my ivory snail) into my 46g tank with Rainbowfish, cherry barbs and a Pleco? I've heard some fish will eat Ivory snails, but I have not found specific details on the fish listed above. Does anyone have personal experience...

Short term - buy some rubber maid bins and distribute the goldies accordingly....(assuming you have a way of filtering them, etc.)

I still have one of my original fish, a red cherry barb named Pete. I think I've had him about 5 years. He actually looks like an old man but he's still quite fiesty and thinks he's a pleco. (He hangs out at the veggie clip with my pleco....pretty much ignores flake food) :)

Rev, I just now noticed this post. I'm so sorry for this heart renching loss - this must be so hard - especially for your sister and her children. But as you say, God IS faithful and your brother-in-law is not suffering anymore. My prayers will be with you and your family.
