  1. I do exactly the same. Love that food saver. I'm certain it extends the nutritious life of the food.
  2. I was wondering about spirulina flakes! They really seem to enjoy the algae wafers I give them. But then, all the fishy kids seem to. Good suggestion. Can't hurt to give it a try. Thanks!
  3. I'm about going nuts keeping my platys in plants! They eat the roots off of floaters and take bites from leaves of substrate plants. Thinking about actually introducing duck weed as it might keep up with demand. There are only 4 female platys, and I do include algae wafers in their diet. They are fat little girls and sending fry into the world regularly. I added some miniature water lettuce yesterday, and the roots are obviously shorter this morning. Other than a constant influx of new plants, and possibly duck weed, do any of you have any suggestions? I'm tired of loosing my nice planted plants to these hearty little munchers!
  4. Wow! I'M impressed with your dedication! It doesn't sound even remotely doable. I look forward to progress reports and photos.
  5. Fabio is gorgeous, but I am totally enamored by the blues!
  6. Well, shoot! I wanted some snails, but this isn't the result I had in mind. Will try one mystery snail and see what happens. Appreciate the heads-up!
  7. Wow! Your success is thrilling. Well done!
  8. Thanks for your comments and link, Chad. I will follow your suggestions. I didn’t know platys would kill snails! They are voracious eaters!
  9. Chad, don’t be holding your breath. I don’t think they do that. My platys are eating the roots off the water lettuce. They love algae wafers but my roots are a wreck and bits and pieces of roots are floating around. I vacuum them up, but those platys are always one step ahead of me.
  10. Bummer! Unseeing it will be hard. Not sure about the sticker idea. Maybe the passage of time will lessen the impact and you can enjoy your beautiful tank without focusing on that small imperfection.
  11. I so agree with you. I wanted some guppies but didn’t see the point of throwing money out the window. Got some platys instead, and am quite happy with them. They’re cute, active, and create a happy tank. Some day guppies will be back on my agenda.
  12. What an interesting fish store! I am so envious of anyone that lives within driving distance of a great store. Buying online is ok, but I like to see and choose what I’m getting.
