u don't need a digital camera or scanner to get pics on the net...just use any old camera and get the film devloped on to a disk. all of my pics are on my photo album using a regular 35mm camera...although the tank pics are too dark, they all come out fine. My digital camera comes in on Monday and I can't wait! Good luck with the PB...and if u don't have a cleaner shrimp in their...i suggest getting one asap! The tweezer idea sounds tough!!

Fairieslayer where did you get your powder blue in Ft. Collins? I was jsut wondering cause im from Greeley and often go to Ft.C and get fish at Denizens of the Deep. Any other good SW fish stores up there? Also are you a student at CSU? Just wondering!

It maybe stupid to post this, but with LR, I never see Ich in my tank. Had a clown tang for 2 + years (vanished) also a King/passer, and no ich. If you get a stressed fish, you can still get ich tho.

I doubt that since there are so many microfiltering/feeding organisms on/in it, but, I could be wrong. Controlling the parasite in its free swimming stage would surely be effected by these filter feeders.
