Tebow, I like him but in the football way!

Are you still "ghost feeding" that tank?
I with Meowzer, get you some snails and a hermit if you want one and chunk em in there. Dont take any more pictures of the brown tank.

I met Tim before, he goes to my dental office. he is such a nice guy. HUGE. I am "ghost feeding" every other day. Should I be doing it every day or stop all together? I think I will be going to the store tonight and getting a few snails. Maybe a hermit. Who knew I would be excited over a snail.

Yes it looks like the magic day is here!!!

The ghost feeding thing, the reason I ask is your providing your tank with nutrients and may be over ghost feeding

The Tim thing, I really like the example he is setting for a lot of people in and out of sports. On top of that he is a great football player. Cool that you met him. Does he still come to your office? If so tell him Mike in Montgomery said hi. He wont know who the heck I am but he should really get to meet me, I think he would be impressed

Congrats!!!!!! Sooo happy for you!!
Thanks! On my receipt it says 2 mexican turbos, but when I picked them out she said one was a nass and one was a turbo. I don't care what they are either way, I am just glad there is something to look at.
Here are a few pictures of them acclimating. Now, I have read that snails should acclimate for 3 hours. Does that sound right?

Ya know, I didn't even think about getting empty shells.
I was too excited. I can swing by there after work and get some. If it ends up getting too big, he will have to go back. I will keep him for a while. I told them I wanted 4 of the blue legged, and one was appearantly hanging onto another, a freebie. That is prob. the thin strip.
I blame my husband, he should have calmed me down. LOL

I have released the hounds...so to speak
You will have to excuse my over-enthusiastic behavior. And the hideous brown shade my tank has taken on.




The other snails are digging away into the SB.

Oh yeah, the freebie turned out to be a snail. LMAO.
So I have 3 snails, and 4 crabs. (3 are blue legged, and the other one is possibly a thin stripe.) this guy:
