*sigh of relief*

I feel much better now Thank you!!

Last night I was feeding him shrimp and by accident i dropped the whole shrimp in there. i rushed to get it out so he wouldnt eat and eat and eat it......but i was too late he WAY over ate. He was SO FAT!!!!! turned a bit grey on his belly.....and kept swimmin around like normal. i was worried.........

So does anyone know what's up with the "glowing" area on the top?.....aka flourescent area ?

you can get a siphon for sand????

The algae is green......and it mostly sits at the back of the tank...right underneath the filter - ?

Hey guys, I have a question.... My tank has thuroughly washed play sand as substrate and it collects algae really fast. It doesn't grow all over the tank...just on the sand. I had a plecco, but he pooped too much, so he's in my community tank now. It's just Chomper (gsp) in his brackish water in a 2...

hmmm...I'll have to work on getting a picture of this.....but my gsp is a nice green/yellow colour.....and on top of his head sometimes looks like it's glowing. My boyfriend asked me why he glows there sometimes.....but I have no idea!

well, chomper (1.5 inch long gsp) bit me today when i went to take out an empty shell... it really hurt!!! it was like a tiny tiny little tooth i thought i was gunna bleed....but i didnt.

I feed my GSP snails everyday. For more of a full "meal" I give him a mealworm every other day. He loves mealworms. you can buy them at a local pet store. I also feed him grocery store food like shrimp and crab but I don't want to....I'm afraid it could be bad for him?.....becuse it's cook...

haha I recently made chomper (gsp) a little bed....a small circle of stones barely bigger than him around...like a nest. well he slept in it
and today i saw him sleeping in a sideways shot glass. little cutie

oh I'm not planning on moving it....just curious
My tank is 30g I think?

Do you have to empty it and start all over again?
Or is there a more simple way of moving a tank. Any tips?

zombie, thats the site ive been looking for!! yaaay thanks lol
when chomper was puffed, he didnt have the little spikes and he was much more inflated - gsp

i have a gsp and i love him becuase he's so full of personality and very interactive.

i saw a fig8 at the store once and it didn't respond at all like my gsp.....i was disappointed

I've had my gsp for about 6 months I think....and I've seen him puff once ever. i don't know why.
Is there any videos of gsp's puffing I've searched and searched and can't find.
Has anyone else's gsp puffed???
