Yup, those are the FW/SW vits I use. Don't forget the Ebates rebates for DFS! I also have a $5 coupon code if anyone's interested in ordering.

thank you all so much....i'm going to see if i can find it locally first then if not then i'll be ordering it this weekend....

RA is really doing well on day 2 in the tank.....so i'm very happy....he's swimming around and checking things out....

another newbie question if i might...
how do you think annabelle got that tapeworm?....am i going to be safe freezing foods for Ra?....
is there anyway to be secure that i won't be feeding him a parasite too?

I don't think she got it from what I was feeding her. I think when I got her she already had it. I've treated her twice and thought that would be good. I had no idea what she had would keep coming back. I have never fed her any live food and I always freeze everything before feeding. Cheech and Chong had Ip's when I first got them. I treated them once and they never came back. It's just one of those things.

Cute lil' fahaka you got there

thanks for the compliment groovitudedude.....

okay now i feel better about the foods....
i'm on a quest now to find the vitamins to soak it in for him....

he's my new little sweety......isn't he the most cutest thing you've ever seen?

Absolutely adorable, I'd love the space to have one of these beauties. major jealousy attack LOL

Ah I'm so jealous, someday I will own a Fahaka and it will have its very own 180+ tank.

Such cuties

I've used Zoe for freshwater vitamins and none of my fish liked the flavor, so maybe don't use that one

thanks for the compliments Myajand Jay.B.......
i really appreciate it....
you can't imagine how long i've waited for this little guy......he has been my objective for almost a year now.....
and my boyfriend finally took me over where we heard they had them and there he was.....i knew him the instant our eyes met......he was the one i had ben hoping for ......so of course he now is home with me.....He has his very own 55 gallon tank.....and all the love i can give to him......he'll be spoiled before long.....and i'm not going to appologize for doing that......

Tell RA I said hello!

i will tell him Treston....thanks....
and speaking of Ra.....he's now discovered that if he hides in the sand he can jump out and try to catch that fast ghost shrimp that comes by now and then....he hasn't caught it yet....but he's stealthly working on it......

What type of sand do you use in your nile puffers tank? I have an 8 inch nile named Pookie and we have a mixed rock bed in his tank but want to add some sand sometime soon just wanted to be sure what type to use.

the sand i have in Ra's tank is called Green Lightening and it's blasting sand....sort of on the same order as pool filter sand....but it's got a really light green coloring to it.....i fell in love with it's color......but Ra seems to like it.....and it's not so fine that it stirs up to my intake line.....

Humm...See I've been looking for the pool filter sand. But seems that winter in Kentucky is a bad time to get it (most of the pool supply stores shut down in winter and lowes doen't have it either) So where might I find this green lightening?? I just want to make sure I get something that isn't harmful to him, Pooksters is my babies.

i found mine at a sandblasting company. here in Houston. it's used in alot of tanks by alot of friends of mine so i knew it was safe for my little friend...
i did wash it before i put it in the tank.....and i cycled the tank for over a month as well with a magnum 350 polishing tube in it....and a 250 powerhead with a prefilter....
