    I've got worms!!!

    This nasty looking thing pretty much comes out at night, but can be seen in caves during the day. It retracts in on itself much like an uncircumsized umm, nevermind. You get the idea. Thoughts?

    Little white feather dusters?

    Anyone know what these are? Little white things that look like mini feather dusters. They have tiny little straight tubes that come up off the LR, seem to multiply fairly quickly, and retract when bothered. I tried using boiling water on them and only a few died. Im 99% sure its not...

    Fuzzy Dwarf Tankmates?

    Bought this little guy/gal down in Atlanta last week at The Fish Store and More in Buckhead. That was a great place. The managers there actually let me pick it up on Tuesday when they are normally closed for restocking... My question goes out to all the fuzzy dwarf owners on here. What do...
