I adopted 10 baby snails from Laren on Monday. They're all doing quite well, hanging out in a ubiquitous Eclipse 3-gallon aquarium. I currently have ten Endler's Livebearers in with them. Endlers are beautiful little guppies that look like 70's disco divas, and are prolific like the typical guppy but a lot hardier. I've fallen in love with this species of fish, for some reason.
I'm upgrading to a natural planted tank as soon as I get my boyfriend's permission to get a larger aquarium for the living room. If you haven't heard of a natural planted aquarium, you basically get rid of your filters and heavily plant your aquarium with lots of plants. You let the plants do the filtration, like in nature. No more weekly water changes...
It was great to meet you Laren. Thanks for the baby Apples!
