[mstrangler]

[fretfreak13]

LOL...YES A long time ago....when I took the stingray to that aquarium in March....we re-did the tank and I got them then
As far as the algae goes....it is growing I will try to get a better pic later with my new macro lense

 

[meowzer]

HEY...after looking at this thread my Nemastoma has grown

I will be taking some new pictures in the next few days...since I will be off and have lots of time

 

[meowzer]

Here is a current picture...I also have some on the back of the rock, BUT I can not get a picture

 

[novahobbies]

Hey Lois, so how has that little thing been doing lately? Bigger, smaller, same?
Joe, DON'T say it.......

 

[meowzer]

LOl...It grew really big on the front and back of the rock, the front piece was covering a ricordia, so I pulled it out and fed it to the 225G occupants

....I also pulled some off the back and fed that to them too. I have new growth on the front again....IT is beautiful when it is new....after it gets really big it gets a little duller.

 

[novahobbies]

Still, it's cool that it acts as a source of free food. The Scinaia I found growing in the 12g tank is the same way -- VERY deep reddish color when small, but fades off a little when it gets bigger.

 

[meowzer]

And when you touch it, it feels rubbery...NOT at all what you would think it would feel like by looking at it

 

[nikesb]

nemastomas are awesome! glad john could help you out. thats one thing thats lacking in this forum; the well known experts of the hobby

The mechanics of this forum have gotten so poor, it's hard for anyone to really want to deal with being here...hard/impossible to post pix, finished posts just disappearing when you press "submit", etc.
Cranberry and I take it in spurts...we'll be here, finally get fed up, stop for awhile, and when we're up to dealing with it, we pop back in until the next time (not that we're "experts"...).
