Re: What should I do with my 30 gallon?
We've got mudpuppies, tiger salamanders, and marbled salamanders. I used to get them from my aunt's abandoned rock kory. (I really don't know how to spell it, but a place where they take rock out of a cliff for commercial use) If you flip over some of the rocks in the river near it you'd fine a ton of salamanders!! I actually used to have a mudpuppy, when I was little. I don't know where they found it, though.

Re: What should I do with my 30 gallon?
Why don't you do a local biotope?
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

Re: What should I do with my 30 gallon?
Local biotopes let you get a close-up look at local ecology, much closer than you can get from just looking at the pond. I want to do one someday. They can be absolutely gorgeous, and besides that, you can get a lot of stuff for free.Bluntokian wrote:Because he can see that anytime? Not trying to be rude, Just...

Re: What should I do with my 30 gallon?
Good point. If you ask me though I would rather have something more exotic. Especially if you can only have what? 2 tanks now?LilGreenPuffer wrote:Local biotopes let you get a close-up look at local ecology, much closer than you can get from just looking at the pond.

Re: What should I do with my 30 gallon?
I could do a biotope, but basically the only things that would fit would be rock bass, gobies, painted turtles, and crayfish. BORING. Yah, I wish I could do irrubesco, but I don't want to be shot at from the puffer gods. A mudpuppy is like the photo I posted, only it has a skinnier face and is a more purple color.

Re: What should I do with my 30 gallon?
They're so hard to catch. I used to have a snapping turtle. His name was Fralphy. He was really little, and he never snapped at you. He loved earthworms. I loved him. Then my parents said it was time for him to go. I let him go at the lake nearby. My room really stunk then.

Re: What should I do with my 30 gallon?
Heh, I had a snapping turtle too but mine got up to 30 lbs and was a bear to "let go". He was beautiful but at his size he was too dangerous. Ended up tagging him letting him go in the backwaters around here.
"Darwin swings...annnnnnd a miss. Boy Jim, Chuck's suffered at the plate tonight. He's 0 for 3 and I'm not sure he's recovered from that shoulder pull a few weeks ago. I'll bet the front office is re-thinking that contract."
