I use a 1.5g tank for a quarantine. I keep small species of fish (betta, neon tetras, snails) so it doesn't bother me. Bare bottom is best, but the 1.5g does have gravel in it, so I just leave it as is. A heater and thermometer is best as well.

Hi Jetta. He's very lovely.

Happy birthday Drifter! My own Betta, Valentine, has a birthday this Thursday. :D

Lighter colors are a sign of stress. I have six neon tetras who used to be a dull orange. Over the span of a months, they have destressed and turned a rich red. Just give them time, and plenty of places to hide.

Welcome! I have a few snails as well (mystery snail) and they have great personality.

Mystery snails are either male or female, that's what research has told me. ^.^ My snails are only fast when they want to be. I woke up one night to one of my snails moving fast toward the collard with feelers out all the way.

I took a peek at my snails and one of them actually has dark shell growth. So I think one is going to be black and the other tan with brown stripes. I wasn't too sure because they didn't have much shell growth and the rest is damaged from lack of calcium (stores fault not mine). So I'm going to...

Amusing names. ^.^ I really like your choice TwoTankAmin. XD

Cute. :D I'll think about it. Anyone else?

I have two baby snails from Walmart that are tan with brown stripes. I don't know genders but I do need names. Any suggestions? Any help would be appreciated. This name issue has been driving me nuts.

Update... The snails have eaten a good portion of the collard. I took out the leftovers to prevent it from rotting in the water. The snails just like their veggies really well done. Their shells are growing in nice and thick. I can't wait until they look loads better.

I boiled for a few minutes till it's soft and falling apart. Should they eat it overnight, or do you think they will ignore it?

I have an unblanched and blanched (microwaved for one minute thirty seconds in a mug of water) piece in there, the snails aren't paying either any attention. I moved both on the blanched piece so we'll see. I'm weighing them down with two seashells (no sharp edges). EDIT: both have moved off...

I got some collard greens and broccoli. How would I go about preparing it? Can I freeze it to last longer?

I keep neons with my betta Twilight. They get along fine, though he does chase them occasionally. I also have two mystery snails with Twilight. He leaves them alone for the most part, but he does like to stalk and stare at them.
