I've got a ton of tiny terra cotta pots I got from a craft store in with my DP, and she loves searching inside of and around them for snails, and it gives the ghost shrimp a place to hide while they're molting. ______________ Cake or death? |

Not to hijack the thread but do your puffers eat the ghost shrimp? cause mine wont. Anyways, legos actually sound cool specially if you have funny colored substrata. My two puffers love nothing more than to swim all over the tank playing in bubbles and around the plants and in the flow of the filter. So I give my GSP and F8P lots of ob |

| bananacoladafuze Enthusiast Posts: 170 Kudos: 147 Votes: 19 Registered: 20-Mar-2005 | I bought four ghost shrimp a few weeks ago, and all of 'em are still there. (Just checked) They're actually pretty interesting.. just gotta remember to feed them because the puffer makes sure they don't get any bloodworms.  I'm gonna have to try out the Lego thing. Some of my cousins can make really awesome castles, so I might have to go steal a few pretty soon. I guess if the Legos float, I can just put some gravel on the green ba ______________ Cake or death? |
