Blue Ram

I picked up a couple of these very unique snails today. Anybody have any experience with them? Was told they don't eat plants but all the information I found online is to the contrary. If they are well fed, there is some info to suggest that they will leave the plants alone.

Anyone know of a source for the Finnex Fugeray Planted + (48") that will ship to Canada? I've tried Amazon and Ebay - no sellers shipping to Canada. Any suggestions on a comparable fixture if I can't find a Finnex?

I'm considering adding some altum angelfish (Peru or True Columbian) to my 90 gal tank. This tank is only housing some bleeding heart tetras and cories at the moment. Just wanted to hear some members feedback on their experiences with them so if you have any information or experiences to share, please post. Thanks,

Is it possible for LEDs to lose their intensity or the colour they emit over time or do they just burn out completely all at once? Reason I ask is that I have been using a Finnex MonsterRay on a tank since January 2014. Didn't like the light from the start because of the very intense pink colour of light but used it anyway. Over the last week, the colour of light seems to have changed to being very orange and my tank looks like a science project gone bad. I've contacted Finnex to see what they think. Anyone else experience this with any type of LED fixture? Also looking for recommendations for a replacement fixture - 48" long - tank has low light plants and houses a beautiful diamondback terrapin with his fish buddies. Thanks for any advice and/or suggestions.

I too had a brand new inline Hydor stop working after 6 months but I also have had one on another tank running for years. Go figure? Sure a pain in the butt when they stop working because you have to replace it before you can take it apart from the filter.

I loved the AI Sols LED lighting and my clams did very well under them.

Just had a chance to visit Tommy at Shrimp Fever - very nice guy and a cute retail setup. Of course couldn't leave empty handed - picked up 5 black king kong shrimp and 3 very nice mosses.

It has been years since I used sand as a substrate. I'm wanting something that is very light in colour. Anybody offer any suggestions?

I'm in the process of tearing down a 20 gal custom tank to replace the substrate. I also want to swap out the power compact light fixture for some LEDs. Tank is full of low light easy plants, crystal shrimp and loaches. If you have any recommendations on lighting, I'd love to hear from you.

Spotted a panda loach fry - little over 1/4" fully formed with markings eating an NLS wafer!

I've not had to deal with ich for years - so long I don't remember the safest and most effective treatment. It is a large tank that contains live plants, catfish, loaches and various other community fish. Have no idea what brought this on. I can increase the heat but what else?

They are available from at least two sources in Canada that ship. If you'd like details, send me a PM. I'd say plan on an average of $25 each.

No kidding! Photos are amazing. Thanks for posting.

They sure are cute!!

I think they are even nicer than these photos show!
