    What's this?

    I was thinking that's what they might be but was hoping for something more fun and exciting! I haven't noticed them anywhere else in the tank, should I do anything special if I see more that aren't as easy to remove?

    What's this?

    When I got a hermit crab about a month ago, the shell looked fuzzy. I thought it was just algae but he has now switched to a different shell and I got a better look. I took it out of my tank for now. The shell is about the size of a pea. Thanks in advance!

    Back in the day...

    everyone has different tolerance levels for certain words. my husband is black and in most case where the N word is used we find it humorous since it's a blatant display of ignorance, but once someone used the term "half breed" which i thought was in reference to my daughter and it got UGLY...

    Back in the day...

    Right now I see no respect or compassion. Respect is the worse thing lacking right now. Take a good look at all of the reality shows right now. Its sole premiss is about how you can gang up on, lie, disrepect, and generally show that bad behavior gets you in 1st place. Also I can't stand...

    Question about acclimation

    I have an order of snails, shrimp and others on it's way and was wondering the same thing. I bought a couple snails and an urchin from my LFS and acclimated them separately since they came from different tanks. Maybe I am over thinking it, but wouldn't each bag have different tank water in it...

    Ok its a freshwater tank, but I wanna share.

    LOOKS GREAT! I have 3 FW planted tanks, and have gone the DIY yeast CO2 route before... let's just say I quickly ditched the stinky 2 liter bottles for Flourish Excel. IMO it works better and none of the hassle. Once your nitrates are down check into some Amano shrimp. Best FW cuc! They are...

    I've seen pictures of them with the light running across the top the short way (instead of lengthwise), it just seemed really small. How many watts should I shoot for?

    What the heck is it?

    Thanks! they only seem to be on one small rock so I'm just going to take it out. Does bubble algae have a "stem"? I'm trying to get better pictures. They are a purple/maroon color and some have a stem.
