Be good if PJ gave us some idea of what she means. I'd consider a BAY as one with three or more faces on the front. Creating weakpoints How high are you thinking PJ?? Alan 104

WCMM Fry
But with the light on the babies will be at the top and the microworms on the bottom, as they sink.. Suggestion: if you feed the M/W's then have the light shining by the bottom. I use one of those bed-side lights Alan 104

WCMM Fry
Daphnia eat infusorians, which is what you should be aiming for to feed the baby WCMM. The sole purpose in a daphnia's life is to eat infusorians till they are fed to fish big enough to eat the daphnia. Snails encourage infusorians and also cleans up uneaten food. Alan 104

Help :(
Geeze FF That's what Ira is bleeding well saying When the upheld hose stops flowing that is it's max. head. It gradually slows up (the flow) as it is lifted upwards and the height is increased. Starting to wonder what other heads are on the other side of the ditch, or is it just too much sun?? Alan 104

So sorry to hear about the heater failure Mitch. What a bummer. But just goes to show that every cloud DOES have a silver lining. A big "Good on ya mate" to your person that remains anonymous tho. Alan 104

help with apple snails please
Yep, dats da ones alright. When I was keeping them I had an airstone almost underneath them so that they would stay moist. Or else, have a real tight fitting lid to stop the eggs dehydrating. Don't have fish in the tank that can eat them as they hatch. They love them. Alan 104
