Poor little Puffy didn't stand a chance, but we gave him the best 5 days of his little life. =[

Re: TPF Needs your help! FAQ & Photos
Myaj I can't remember If I posted this one for you.
If I remember right they are similar in apperance. One is freshwater worms and the other is saltwater worms. I spoke to the guy about the article and found out the freshwater version "cannot" be transfered to saltwater but it can go from tank to tank. Freshwater to freshwater and Saltwater to saltwater. This is done by moving plants, substrate, using the same net, etc. It can live in a tank with no fish, all it needs is organisms to attach to like pods that live on fw plants or in saltwater tanks copepods. I'm still learning about these worms and I can send you links to the articles I have found if you want more information.
I'll be starting the treatment tomorrow. I've been keeping a diary on everything I'm doing. I'll update in Annabelle's Ip post. If you need any information about this just let me know. I don't want anyone else going through this.

Re: TPF Needs your help! FAQ & Photos
Well, I think that's a little too "in depth" for a FAQ but I am really thinking we're going to have to take your post and turn it into a library article for sure, once the whole ordeal is over. You can likely get it published as well, with all those photos and information you gathered along the way, magazines would be fighting over that one.

Re: TPF Needs your help! FAQ & Photos
I don't think you'd even have to make it a "real" article.. just sort of a diary, like you have so far.
This is the story of Annabell and the worms...
Between the pictures and the info you picked up along the way on different types of parasites and how to treat them, there's not much more needed! And Annabell by herself will sucker everyone in to be pulling for her by the end, who could resist that beauty...

Re: TPF Needs your help! FAQ & Photos
I think a diary style article would be much more effective and really catch the readers attention.

Some pond snail pics, if you still need them.

Grant me the serenity to accept that I can't take every puffer home;
The courage to say no to those big eyes looking back at me;
And the wisdom to do every thing I can for the ones that I have.

Re: TPF Needs your help! FAQ & Photos
Hello!
I walked in today to find my GSP curled up taking a nap on the bottom of the tank, and I managed to snap a picture before he woke up. Here it is! I tried to get a second one, but he woke up too fast!

If you need the original photo, just let me know. I have it in 2048x1536 resolution. Sorry that the tail is slightly blurry. It was taken with my phone. Just PM me if I can be of any more help. Im happy I can actually contribute to this!

Re: TPF Needs your help! FAQ & Photos
I dont have photoshop, but I cropped it a bit with microsoft office picture manager and I played with the bightness and contrast. Let me know if I can help anymore, or if anyone has photoshop I can send them the picture.
