    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Snail help please

I have a 55 planted tank with a giant Danio (there were 6 until my daughter, 2, decided to dump all the shrimp pellets in 9 oz can into the tank), an albino bichir, and an albino bristle nose pleco. I do plan on ordering another 6ish giant Danios later this year. I had put in an old wood feature that's been dry for like 2+ years and snails exploded. I only had a few nerite snails before and no other snails. I know I can manually remove them with a leaf of lettuce but I was wondering what fish you would recommend I could add to this community.

I'm leaning towards green spotted puffers because I want to make a brackish tank with them and a dragon goby some time this year. I also have a large pond out front that are fixing up to put in comet goldfish and mosquito fish that I can also throw the snails in. The pond is planted but has dried out many times before we moved here, we're in the process of getting the land. We've kept the pond full so it doesn't dry out and that led to more mosquitos. I figure since we're putting goldfish in the pond any snails I manually remove can go in there to for them to nibble on.

Any recommendations will be taken with appreciation. Will post a pic after I over haul the extra jungle Val that has grown almost into a carpet. I also have a penchant for albinos, obviously.
