    Good Idea or Bad Idea

    Giant ramshorns as duckweed control ?

    The reason they didn't eat a lot of the anacharis is probably because anacharis is allelopathic, meaning that they release a kind of toxin that inhibit the growth of other plants (mainly algae). Don't worry though the toxin in general wont affect your rams Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium...

    Odessa barb eggs

    Do water changes more often to keep the water healthier for your fry(and this will promote better rapid growth)but keep the new water parameters as close as you can to the original waters tank. Sent from my iPhone using Aquarium Advice

    Growing and selling Ramshorn or other snails?

    Here's another pic I got of the biggest white ram of the group. I have about three of them(maybe a few more)from what I can tell. I'll try breeding them and seeing if the trait can be passed on. If I'm successfull I would love to give some out to you guys as celebration. Wish me luck!

    Growing and selling Ramshorn or other snails?

    White ramshorn Apparently there is a variant of ramshorn snail with White shells and yellowish bodies. I had a few of these guys pop up out of my red ramshorn colony. I wonder if this trait can be breeded successfully or it's just a random genetic glitch.
