yeah, then i will stick with salt, heat and clean water :) i keep too many shrimp and snails to want to risk something leaching into the silicone, then leaching back out at a later date

so depressing...

i got home today and noticed that the male was looking really odd with big pale patches on his body. he did not have them this morning. upon closer inspection, i realized that the male had died.

*SIGH*

one left. i hope she makes it

I am so sorry, they sound as sensitive as the rubbernoses I had. I had bought five and only two lived and those two only lived due to this forum and the growing algae on rocks and egg white and crushed fish food painted on rock.

Not that the rubbernoses can compare to your l239s. , so sad. Bestwishes to your female.
