I’m so excited for you! Remember when you move everyone over to the bigger tank to move all of your media too since that’s where your beneficial bacteria are growing!

I have at least 4 carrying eggs!!!

I’ve kept bee shrimp with them successfully. They are more sensitive though so you have to do the water parameters to their liking. Luckily neos are really adaptable. I buy my shrimp from aquatic arts. They are always super healthy.

It’s purely an opinion on aesthetics.

I’ve done the black and white mixed sand thing and it’s very busy. Very distracting. It’s best to just have one color.

I’ve seen cherry culls for $1.99 before. Not too bad.

To confirm, yes if you get both colors they will breed and you will get a lot of wild types.

I second the diamond blasting sand.

Yes wouldn’t cherries be easier? You could buy up something culls for a decent price and they will perpetually breed and won’t eat their babies the way ghosts do.

Dead. Sorry for your loss.

I agree! They are so easy. I started with 20 about a year ago and now have around 40 with a few babies floating around too. I just love them! They sit in my office so when I work from home and need a short break I can just ogle at them for a few minutes. oh also my snails have bred a little...

You say you don’t want to rehouse your snails, but the ones you have are freshwater. I also wouldn’t advise keeping the rabbit and assassins together.

I vote you get several bumblebee gobies and some brackish macroalgae to go with them. They love resting in the algae and they are a hoot to watch!

Just a caution: I have kept fiddlers with bumblebee gobies before and it was a mistake. They attacked them. Tried to eat them.

So, just yesterday I got a little figure 8 puffer. He is very tiny, a baby! Anyways he has a funny little habit already. When I give him bloodworms, he sucks it in and out of his mouth and squeezes out all of the insides, discarding the skin. How goofy is that?
