arent planaria's bigger and black. i remmeber having one in 7th grade . we had them in little capsules and we would cut them in 1/2 w. a razor and they'd split and regenerate and become 2 diff ones. haha

oh i did have algae growing on the right side of the aquarium on the CC and i stirred it to hide it and it got a little cloudy' and i think that might have thrown them up. so they aren't a parasite of anything? but i if they're harmless, that's good, and thanks BTW!

i was just looking at my tank today and i noticed there were white stuff on the glass from the inside. i was gonna clean it off w/ the magnet cleaner, but then i looked closely and i saw they were little worm like creatures thinner then the "hyphen' symbol. like - anyway they are sliding along ...

is it okay to add aquasafe or ammolock or the dechlorine treatment drops into tap for brackish water tanks or do u need RO? or is that only for SW? thanks in advanced.

since last night right b'4 i turned off the lights to the aquarium i noticed my 2.5-3'' gsp was skimming the surface.. w/ his nostril/antenna thing on the surface. i dint think anything of it because my puffers do that after i do a small feeding w/ blood worms, but its still doing it now and its che...

i have semi- fW because I'm slowly converting to BW for my GSP's but i have fine sand in my tank as substrate but i was wondering for a buffering agent about CC or aragonite. would it be okay if i left the sand in there, and just sprinkle a bag of aragonite or CC over the sand, and mix it in while d...

Not really like anemone, imagine like half a dandelion seed with a stalk which they attatch with.... i think i've got rid of most of them, have done a few more water changes and made sure to scrub the side first o get them floating around, seems to have done the trick, weird though...they must have...

absolutly loving the setup! whats the orange lookin creature, is that a molly? .... major props. and good luck w/ it,

where do the little prickly spikes come from? do they just have them under the folds in their skin. i have seen the under belly of mine when he swims against the glass, and it has pores like dimple-holes.

i have 2 gsp, and the smaller one about every other morning when i turn on the lights. he'd do a stomach puff, looks like its hiccuping and stuff. first time i saw it i thought he was ill. but it doesn't ever puff up, so always sit there and watch them every morning, and i have no camera but for my ...

hey, i noticed alot of picture of your guy's GSP the, puffer has those red eye's ... but i have 2 and mine have green eyes. an i looked at other pictures and they seem to have red eyes too. is it just eye color depending on the puffer like humans or are mine not GSP??

i was at live aquarium plants .com or something and it said Micro Swords do good. but i was wondering if u guys new if it'd survive because i have one in my other fw tank was thinking about throwing it in the bw one because it' has the strong lighting it needs to grow better w/.

alright, thanks for the input. was just worried since they mentiond it was kind of a negative thing above.

so is tail curling a bad thing? i notice when i wake up b'4 sunrise and go look at the tank and i see my 2 puffers side by side curled' and (actively florescent green & dark black dots) faded looking (bottom white, but the green is pale and spots look brown instead of black, and all fins curled ...
