Is your first one actually a rummynose rasbora (Sawbwa resplendens)? Not my picture:

Mine are doing this every time I look in the tank... I never see them eating anything. The little devils!

I don't see that we've been told what species of danio or species of minnow are in the tank, so let's not jump to conclusions about those...

I want your garra! Your stiphs are lovely... coloring up so nicely. :) I saw a post of yours on Frank's this morning. Hopefully he can find some pretty little stiphs!

If you're at 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, and 0 nitrate, then what makes you think your tanks are cycled? Are they very heavily planted and/or lightly stocked?

IME, Ember Tetras are pretty tight schoolers. My Zebra Danios, on the other hand, are definitely not.

My RTBS doesn't bother anyone he has been housed with (a handful of Ember Tetras, a few Sawbwa resplendens, a BN pleco, a Kribensis, a platy fry, a few corys, and a Pearl Gourami), except for my Tiger Barbs. The Tiger Barbs totally incite his aggression though, as they seem to enjoy playing...

Kuhli loaches and other slithery-snakey-wormy-looking (technical term) loaches are not snail-eaters. Others (sometimes called "botiine" loaches) will.

Adorable! I love their eyes. :)

Besides puffers and some loaches, I can't think of any. And I highly recommend not adding a species of fish to your tank with the purpose of doing a "job" for you. If it's a fish you've been looking into and have decided you want for some other reason and its snail-eating abilities are just a...

Why must you tempt me so? :help:

No, there is no such thing as a community puffer. Are you sure the babies are nerites? There may be a few species that can/will/do proliferate in FW, but the majority don't. The best long-term method for reducing snail population is to limit their food source. If the snails you're seeing are...

A few varieties of Ken's flakes because they were inexpensive and came highly recommended. I've since noticed a few quality issues with the super tropical flakes, so I'll probably switch to another brand when these run out...

Now we know what she's going for next! Quick, someone warn her husband! :evil_lol:

Adorable! :D

Nice snails! And I love the pleco. :)

This is essentially correct, at least for most of the commonly kept species. :)

Do you have nerite snails?

If you decide to ship, I'd like to talk about cacs. :)

I can't wait to get this stuff! It'll all go in my plantable (i.e. marisas-free) tanks for now, but some will go in the new pond when we get around to it! Thanks again, Rach! :D
