greenmonkey51 Fish Master Posts: 1571 Kudos: 1692 Votes: 5 Registered: 28-Jan-2004 | I was up late one night and decided to turn on the light in the room with my 125g. I looked at the tank and saw a bunch of what looked like pebbles that appeared out of nowhere. I looked closer and the tank was covered with MTS. Everywhere I looked there was snails. I put a couple in a few months ago and never thought anything happened with them. I am using sand, so is this a good thing. I think that they turn over the sand but Im not sure. |

They will also multiply like crazy if you overfeed. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com |

When I finally decided to get rid of them all, I removed over a thousand of the critters. That in a 24 inch aquarium. I'm sure my fellow aquarists in the locality who kept Puffer Fishes were duly grateful for the extra food |
