They could've also been stressed from being in so small of a tank. By the time they are two inches they each need 30 gallons. And you should know that in case there is "next time".

I'm not sure about the ones you bought, but I googled "Wilma Snails" (was suggested on here) and I ordered 10 ramshorns for about $10. They are now breeding steadily and I have enough to feed my two figure 8s on a steady basis if I want.

Yeah, I got the same thing in my 40 gallon shortly after setup. I just took the plants out and wiped them down, did a water change, and put them back in. Haven't had any problems since .

wow. i wish i just had a spare tank...but a 1000g? or a 1750g!

what are the dimensions on tanks like those?

I go through the same thing at almost every lfs around here. I've thought about printing out the pufferlist pages and putting them near the GSP tank where they have them in freshwater, so at least the customers can know if they should buy one.

Anyone?

Flaco, rather. Though I need to rename him now that hes not so skinny..

Thanks guys! Flace seems to be more active now that there are other fish around.

I plan on going to the lfs that has gobies this weekend. If I have a 40 gal tank and all I have right now is a F8 and 3 balloon belly mollies, how many bumblebee gobies would fit comfortably?

I thought if you put a back of the aragonite in your filter to keep the pH steady then you could use whatever substrate you wanted?

Yeah thats what I thought I had read. I have a variety of sizes so I made sure they were the right size. I guess I'll just give him time .

Time for an update :). So when I said I lost Flaco, I was wrong, my mom misidentified the fish that was still alive. So I actually lost Gordo, and Flaco is doing very well. i have added more to the tank, and I have a picture (though you can't see any of the fish in the picture-I'll get pics of them ...

If you figure out that it was the bio-spira that was the problem then you may want to order it off the net. Thats what I did and it arrived next-day and was still chilled.

Thanks for the compliments! I am going to add variety to the diet as soon as I am the one feeding again, and I am also breeding ramshorn snails at the moment. I will also be adding more decor and some bumblebee gobies if I can find them. Unfortunately, even with treatment, I lost Flaco :(. Gordo is ...

I'm sorry to say that I've tried that medicine on a gsp and it didn't work, but you can try it, and I hope it works for you. You could also look for Prazi-pro, which is another IP medicine that they may carry at your lfs. With it you can either treat the water (which means taking out all of the acti...

Ohhh. So why does it say "Frozen Mosquito Larvae" on my package of frozen bloodworms?
