Re: Feeding snail more often a bad thing???
Snails are almost all I feed my F8s. If the snails are to big just crush them and let the puff chew the fleash and meat.

Re: My GSP tank
Adding a backing would upgrade the appearance by hiding the cords. That was my very first thought. I think fish feel mor comfortable with a background too. And spend a few dollars for some background adhesive. The difference over just taping it on is night and day. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/pro...

Re: GSP Death
1.022 salinity, I did the changes in a large tub as I've done for the past 5 years of keeping him, salinity and temperature always matched with the tank water. I use instant ocean salt and big al's declorinator. Sounds good. I just wondered if the salt wasn't completely dissolved, but you know how ...

Re: F8 Upgrade, need some suggestions.
Good question about the water changes, ATM I use a 5g bucket, but that's not gonna cut it for 29g obviously. I was thinking I getting a 25g tub from Walmart, but I'm unsure if it's safe plastic. At $5, it seem too good to be true, and I know some plastics (particularly cheap ones) can be poisonous....

Re: F8 Upgrade, need some suggestions.
My first/original F8 was/is full grown and never grew any more. He's as big as any online pic. Two years ago I adopted 3 juvis(1.5-2") from this forum and wound up keeping one in a 15g. I moved him to a 46g with some mollies and he showed a noticible growth spurt. My guess is once you introduce...

Re: F8 Upgrade, need some suggestions.
A 304 is perfect for a 29g. I've had a 404 on my F8's 46g then 55g for a few years. I wouldn't add a HOB because the BBGs don't like tons of current. In my 404 filters I run pre-filter media in the first basket. In other filters I run a layer before the sponge media. I've noticed a very significant ...

Re: Water Changer Questions (aqueon/python)
Personally see no need to shorten... Flow is the only reason I'd recommend it. Longer hose will take a little longer to both fill (depending on home water flow/pressure) and draining. It depends on how much longer we are talking. A few extra feet would be unnoticiable...But 10 extra might be enough...

Re: Breeding snails
A 5g bucket works fine. A small HOB or sponge filter will be great. A heater is optional but it will speed up production. http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk168/almostapathetic/Fish/DSCI0218_zps184822df.jpg Add a little decor to give them extra space to lay eggs.

Re: Water Changer Questions (aqueon/python)
Buy the longer and shorten it to your needs. And get the Pytyhon...I've own/owned both and the Python wins by leaps and bounds. Spend the extra now, so you don't need to know why you need to spend the exrtra now..

Re: size of ramshorns for DPs
I crush my rams with forcepts in the ram tank to shake off the shell. Then I cup and wiggle the meat in the DP tank to get their attention and drop it for eager consumption.
I keep black khuhlis in the same tank and they looove what isn't eaten by the DPs.
