Wow, I haven't been here in such a long time! We had PC problems, then one of my family members was in an accident, but now I'm back and in business! I've been trying to take pictures of my fish, I've pretty much lost the touch though... Anyways, here's a few of the photos I've taken over the past few days...

Ivory snail that hatched here in November - he's getting huge:

Thanks guys!

Elisabeth, I love snails too. I've been addicted since I got my first two from New Mexico in August of last year. I just recieved six new snails in the mail, they came from Missouri - two asolene spixi, two dark striped purples, and two light striped purples. I find it a lot easier and "healthier" to get snails from an actual breeder - I have quite a few blue snails that came from petshops and the shells on them are terribly eroded and worn out compared to those from breeders.

nice fish and snails you have there...


just a tip, silver dollars need a much larger school than 2, more like 5-8

fufanu, we did start out with six silver dollars. They all passed on over the nearly ten years we have had them and we have not been able to locate them since.

Those are some great pix acrobit. Those snails are soooooooo cute
The siver dollars are looking good too. There pretty old for fish. Thats awsome. Sorry to hear of the ones you lost. I lost a few fish last year that I were 6-7 yrs old myself. It sure does suck. I get awfully attatched to them after that length of time.

Fidd

Thanks Fiddlesticks, I appreciate the compliments. I'm really attached to my silver dollars, they've been here for a long time. I'm even more attached to Lacey, my Nigerian lace catfish - she's nearly twenty years old and is older than me.
