I gotta go eat supper. Nice talking to you Granny again. :frow

There are different species of loaches ranging from around 4 inches to the clown loaches which can get up to 8 inches I believe. I personally like yoyo loaches. I found some golden loaches at petco that look just like the yoyo except for coloring. They love snails. Mine cleaned up my problems...

I think it looked like a 20 gallon too. I can't stand snakes. :oops: I wouldn't have rats or mice here either. Just gerbils and hamsters. Like there's a difference? :gig

That's a lot of snails. :oops: A snail infestation is why I originally got some loaches. :) I think I got them back in September for my birthday. We run our water through a softener, so that's probably why they don't last. I can't get straight well water as it's horrible. I guess I stick with...

:lol: , sorry about the mouse. My avatar is hamsters. :) I like dwarf hamsters.

Most of my live bearers slowly died off. I cannot keep them alive. :idunno So I went and got a few more angels and some loaches. :) Those thrive here. Why type of snails? :pop

I'm doing better now that the holidays are done. I'm on to dreaming about next year's gardens and poultry. I probably got too many irons in the fire again. :D

Hello Granny. :frow How many tanks do you have now?

Wow, you dug that by hand? Two foot long koi. I wrote three didn't I? :D

Your description of the ram sounds right. We used to have a fish store that would carry exotic fish species, but it went out of business years ago. I did get to try a bunch of different species for a short while, and it was fun. Now I'm limited to Petco.

My pond is only around 300 gallons, so koi were off the list. I can't imagine 3 foot long ones. :love I would miss them too.

Fish I can keep alive here long term are goldfish, Angel fish, tetra, gourami, and Cory cats, so that's what I mainly keep these days. I guess I have a lot to say about fish tonight. :)

I tried some ram ciclids, but they didn't make it too long here, about a year. They were adorable little things. :).

I had 3 babies separated and they just disappeared. I think the betta got in the breeders net and are them and than jumped back out. I haven't seen any more babies since. I think because of my water, but I'm not positive. I also had one of my older big goldfish die. That one would make a meal...

There are tons of beautiful ciclids aren't there. I have so far avoided them because of reading how they can be aggressive, and some breed like crazy. I know angels are considered ciclids, but I don't count them. :) I do think about Oscars some day. They are said to be troublemakers. :D

Oops again. I thought the freaky little thing was a duckling. I really couldn't get past the three red glowing eyes. :sick:sick:sick:sick

I cannot mix any straight well water. It's okay. I couldn't keep livebearers alive a few years back, so I probably can't again. I got my eyes set on a tank of tiger barbs. They do well here and I enjoy their zippy action.

:sick Oops, that was for the duck. :)

Some diabetics, like me can't feel things correctly with the fingertips. So you gotta watch that things aren't too hot. That's my guess on that.
