Hi all!! So after moving, I visited my "new" local pet store to check out what they had. I noticed hundreds (literally) of ghosts shrimp spread out among 3 different tanks. I asked how much they were, and the worker said they were $0.50! I've decided to pick up ~10 this coming week. I had a...

Hey guys! So my little Primrose has been cramped up in her (temporary) 1g for a while now, and I finally got her a 2.5g! It's plain, I just bought the actual tank itself, but I'm planning on getting the heater today. I've got some questions! Lol Is a 25W heater good for 2.5g? I was wanting...

Hi! One of my Black Skirt Tetras is acting strange..... I went about my normal schedule the other day, and after the afternoon feeding, I turned out the light. Everyone was acting fine and normal. I went back to check on the fish a few hours later (about 9pm), and he was laying on the bottom...

Hi! I recently went to a ball park and noticed some cool looking rocks in a ditch. I thought I would take them home and try to research what type of rocks they were. It turns out, it is very hard to identify a rock:ermm: I have a few pictures (sorry for they horrible quality. They are from my...

Hi! I came home from church last night to find one of my 4 year old Hi-Fin Black Skirt Tetras plastered to the filter intake!:eek: I thought it was dead, but when I pulled it away, it darted off! It didn't make it very far though... About 4 or 5 inches later it stopped swimming and floated to...

Hi! About a month ago I received a 20g. Along with it I got a few Black Skirts. I noticed at first that one of them was swimming funny, but I thought I would wait it out and see what happens. (Not the best idea in the world:oops:) Now, the same fish swims a little sideways, has a hard time...

Hi! I recently went to the pet store to check out some fish and see if they had any snails. I did come upon some, but I didn't exactly know what they were, so I didn't purchase any. Their label said they were Golden Inca Snails. Can anyone tell me what a Golden Inca Snail is? How big do they...
