Whatever PETA's wants and desires really are, they sure made you all think about their issues, ergo they have a very effective campaign. IMHO, as a member of PETA, the goal is simply to make you think about what you eat and how you live, not change everyone's opinions. The pictured...

African Dwarf Frogs are great! Be sure they're ADF's though and not African Clawed Frogs - look for webbing between their toes for ADF's. This site has an excellent ADF article written by Leopardess you should check out. It's in the Articles section and...

I name my distinctive fish. I keep mostly guppies by coloration in separate tanks, so it's a little pointless for me to name them, but everything else in my tanks gets a name. My names are also movie themed. I have: Randal, the indestructible ADF Dante, the Apple Snail Loki, the Japanese...

This is a very cool site! Thanx for dropping the link in here. Nerd that I am, I submitted two accounts they didn't have listed. I hope they still maintain the site!

Nice grey work, Ryan! I'm a former body piercer and as such I have lotsa tattoos. Sitting in a shop with nothing to do leads to "I'll do this tattoo for that piercing" situations. I think my last count of separate tattoos (they're never done... I keep adding) was 8, including half sleeves...

Fome, apple snails have a moderate - high plant eating capacity, including pomacea bridgesii which is the most common snail sold in LFS. Mystery snails have a slightly lower capacity to devour plants simply because they are smaller all around than apple snails. Best bet to save your plants are...

Poor Remmy! I'm not anywhere near an expert, but snails and frogs are my two dearest loves. Sounds like your snail tore it's collumelar muscle which is basically the only thing that holds the snail inside its shell. When the muscle tears the snail will literally walk out of its shell when it...

Thank you both, Lisa and Leopardess. I'll check with my lfs to make sure I can bring the Gourami back if he's too aggressive. Lisa, Randal is about 1" long. Leopardess, I've read your ADF article a few times. It's great!

First post for me, but I've been reading for about 3 weeks straight. I can't thank you all enough for the good questions asked by other newbies and the great range of answers given by the pros. My background: In early December I bought myself a 10 gallon aquarium thinking back to my...
