Just felt like sharing. 2.5g freshwater 1 black sail cory (who is alone because I am unable to locate any friends), 1 gold mystery snail, 3 gold tetras, wisteria, java ferns. No worries, I plan to upgrade these guys in the future. 2.5g saltwater 1 peppermint shrimp, 1 pink margarita...

Wow, really? Mine has carried dojos for years. They used to sell huge striped dojos for only 2.99 each, but have recently discontinued carrying them. =[ They do still have the goldens though (which I'm assuming is what you got).

Exactly what I was going to say. Nothing constructive comes of ranting on an online fish message board. Let the management know how you feel. chain stores has extremely strict policies and procedures; it is just a matter of how closely the store manager follows them. Better yet, let the district...

^Really? Our PetSmart has had cardinals as long as I can remember.. the demand is so high, that they're kept in two separate tanks. They also permanently started carrying the acei, twinbar platies, and honey sunset gouramis recently. =]

^Mine too. I've never had a problem with PetSmart in general, and do not believe that they were ever in the wrong "direction." I think the amano shrimp are going to retail for $3 each. I could be wrong though.

Has anyone noticed a difference in the selection at their PetSmart lately? In addition to the "manager's choice" fish (right now, they are the koi swordtails, rainbow blue platies, mono sebae, gold tetras, kribensis), I was just told today that they will be permanently adding giant gouramis...

Okay, so now the eggs are gone.. I know I'm not crazy.. where'd they go? Why would I see eggs for only one day? I don't see any little fry around the tank.. and the only other inhabitants are a hermit crab and a margarita snail..

I got my peppermint shrimp 1.5 to 2 weeks ago.. tonight, I came home to discover that he molted.. and now, I have two questions.. Does he eat the molted exoskeleton or do I need to remove it? Also, I noticed that he is now carrying eggs.. it is my understanding that they are hermaphroditic, so...

No. I have tried and they are just too small and clear to show up well.

I came into the room tonight and turned the fish tank light and saw two tiny little critter dart into separate corners of the tank.. They are very small, probably around a centimeter long, and are translucent with a brown stripe running down its body. They are extremely quick but curl their back...

Can I ask what type of lighting you are using?

^Are they basically the same thing? Will he still consume detritus and such?

I tried to get pics of the crab but my camera sucks..

They had zebra hermits there and they look nothing alike. Any stripes are barely noticeable and run vertical, not horizontal. Will the hermit eat the algae off the snails shell?

I went to the LFS looking for a cerith snail for my 2.5 pico tank, and unfortunately, they were out. However, the associate recommended margaritas as the next best thing. The particular snail I purchased seems to have a bright green coating on his shell. Is it algae? Will it eventually come off...

So, I went with the aragonite sand and my tank is now set up. Salinity is at about 1.023.. I have one question though.. the heater I purchased can not be completely submerged.. and because of that, the very end of it is submersed in the sand.. will this be alright? Also, how do I know how much...

Noob question, I know. I'm new to the saltwater world. Anyway, I just set up my pico 2.5gal tank, and mixed the saltwater myself. I let all of the salt dissolve, then let the filter/powerhead run for about 15 mins before taking the reading. It is coming up right between 1.024 and 1.025. Is this...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi everyone. Let me first start off by saying that I am a complete noob to saltwater tanks. Due to very limited space, I have decided to undertake the challenge of a 2.5 pico tank. I realize this will be time...

PetSmart > Petco any day. The Petco and Wal-marts in my area sell pacus too.. They're insanely popular as pirahnas are illegal in this state, and sadly enough, most people don't care for potential future problems.. as long as the fish is nice and fits in the tank NOW.

You don't have to use Prime with Purigen. It's just SeaChem endorsing their own product. Likewise, when recharging Purigen, it is necessary to use some sort of dechlorinator before re-using it, and SeaChem specifically states to use Prime, as it is their own product.
