I would really appreciate a pair of long scissors with a small attached vacuum of sorts.
Maybe it's just my inexperience, but trimming java moss is so messy, and I always end up with the stuff growing in places I don't like it.
Some scissors... Each snip triggers a little vacuum action to whisk it away...

Oh wow .... I'm so brand new... But I have some fabulous photos of Ghost Shrimp babies in various stages... And some hydra!
I will most definitely find them and be back! What a fun topic!

Hello Fishy People!
My name is Dawn. I'm new here. To be honest, I was ISO assistance in identifying a loach... But while here, I'd be happy to tell you about my tanks.
I'm new to the hobby - about 2 years in. I have every fish I started with (thank goodness) with the exception of a couple neons I lost soon after bringing them home from a really well known big box type Pet Store.
I have a 75 gallon pretty heavily planted aquarium. I've been on and off the wagon with CO2 injection, being successful with both approaches. Being an avid gardener of 20+ years, the planted tank isn't all that different. New names. More water.
Tank inhabitants:
1 Albino Bristlenose Pleco
3 Albino Corydoras
6Peppered Corys (Mom, Dad, and 4 surviving (grown) babies that took us by surprise)
4 Habrosus and 2 Pygmies (I love my Corys)
5 Nerites (2 of which recently relocated to brackish)
4 Neons
and 1 silly loach my husband brought home from the same aforementioned big pet store. We've had him/her for quite some time now. I realize he/she would probably do better in a group, but the bottom feeding dynamic is beautiful here, and everyone mingles beautifully. (Also, the pet store sold him the last one they had, with a firm promise it would solve our ramshorn woes... Sigh)
Anyway... I do also have a 39 gallon tank, lightly planted, inhabited by a thriving ghost shrimp colony
And last, but certainly not least, I have a Green Spotted Puffer (sold to me as "freshwater") in a brackish tank. His name is Murderface. He's a good friend.
I'm looking forward to meeting you all.
I'll attach a picture of Zig Zag (the mysterious loach) Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Sorry if it's a bit blurry. Let me know if you need something better. I swear, he plays games with me the second he sees the camera.

Please Help (Green Spotted Puffer)
in General Discussion
Posted
I'm sorry I don't usually use any forums...
I've a Green Spotted Puffer for a little over a year now. I've never had any problems and he seems to be thriving.
Tonight I was dropping some snails into his tank and I noticed the water was WAY too warm. I panicked... The temperature was over 100 degrees. I CAN'T BELIEVE HE IS STILL ALIVE!
(Heater malfunctioned. Removed from tank )
I got to work immediately cooling down the tank. I also added some Stress Guard and an air stone. It's not quite down to 85 yet. I am afraid to drop the temp too rapidly.
Murder Face (that's his name) seems to be doing ok, thank goodness.
What should I watch for? Is there anything else I can do right now to make sure he survives this?
Thank you. I really appreciate any help. Again, I apologize if I'm writing in the wrong format, etc. I just panicked and I knew I could better help Murder Face with some advice.
