A lfs in our area had lots a couple of weeks ago but they looked terrible! I may go back and see haw they're doing. I do have a spare 15g tank and filter...and a bag of aragonite sand...and they're in fresh so I could quick-cycle with media from another tank...
Damnit, I really need to cut down my electric bill, not raise it!!!

Re: Can I see your F8/Brackish tanks and no plants?
The first picture is my 26gUS bowfront BW tank housing my GSP. The large "roots" and geranium plants are fake.
The second picture is the only real plant, a mangrove with its leaves above-tank and its roots submerged. (Sorry for the crappy picture quality.)
[Edited to correct for my numeric dyslexia on the tank size. Upgrading by at least 10gUS within the next few months.]

So how's that electricity bill doing?CarmenH wrote:Damnit, I really need to cut down my electric bill, not raise it!!!
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.
