BikBok Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 Well i transferred the fish and media from the little AR380 to the bigger AR850 today. It's been running a week with a couple of guppy fry but the media from the old tank should help it along.. won't be adding new fish for a few weeks yet. OK, i thought I was just going to pack down the AR380 into storage and keep it as a spare ... well no.. Miss 13 has other ideas and has done a spectacular job of getting it clean... then informs me she's going to turn it into a dwarf puffer tank.. her idea is to put two dwarfs in it and keep it in her room.. ha-ha so much for the single tank I bought a year ago. When she sets up the dwarf puffer tank (not without some research of course) We will have 3 tanks plus a quarantine /fry tank. Now I totally get "MTS" and it doesn't mean malaysian trumpet snail lol. The AR850 is looking good, it's a bit cloudy compared to the crystal water in the AR380 but I guess that will settle down. The guppys look rather small in it and mama guppy decided to go and have her fry today. I've got some driftwood soaking (Thanks Sam) and some plant to attach when it's ready. Will be planning to add 2-3 dwarf gourami, a rainbow shark and maybe 2-3 Otos. Question... Is it Ok for a guppy to eat a small ramshorn snail whole? We did have some baby ramshorns.. quite a few actually but i think the female betta ate them all as I saw her attacking them all and couldn't find them when I was emptying the tank.. found a single snail and as I dropped it in.. the guppy came and grabbed it and swallowed it whole.

spoon Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 i wouldnt worry about it too much the snail i mean as for the mts well there is no cure............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wok Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 there is a cure for MTS. but the cure is quite radical, you need to purchase more tanks than the house can accommodate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 I've got some driftwood soaking (Thanks Sam) and some plant to attach when it's ready. No worries. Thanks for the guppies, they've settled in well. You know how to attach the Windelov Java Fern, right? When she sets up the dwarf puffer tank (not without some research of course) We will have 3 tanks plus a quarantine /fry tank. Dwarf puffers look awesome, looking forward to that tank.

Sophia Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 Question... Is it Ok for a guppy to eat a small ramshorn snail whole? I am watching 2 cardinal tetras compete over 2 tiny ramshorns on the tank floor one went down the hatch, the other was carried away, I didn't see what happened to it You know how to attach the Windelov Java Fern, right? is there a trick to it? I have mine stuck to the log with cable ties at present Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted April 18, 2010 Report Share Posted April 18, 2010 is there a trick to it? I have mine stuck to the log with cable ties at present Not really, just tie the rhizome down to the object (wood, rocks, etc) and leave the roots out and leaves sticking up.
