Cool! Good luck!

Tonight is: Quinoa, red bell pepper, yellow tomato, natural PB (just ground up peanuts), dandelion, blueberry, and watermelon. Also a small dish of dried fruits and cuttlebone. They've been hiding in the moss pit for 2 days de-stressing and haven't eaten. *sigh* I've smoothed out the sand so I can t...

According to my husband that's the exact sound I make whenever I see something unbearably cute. Be it a crab, a cat, a bug, a plushie, a snake - it always comes out "SQUEEE". It is also usually followed by "can I have one?" so he's learned to anticipate the "SQUEE" and disappear at that exact momen...

Valdez, Alaska

Dry dish: THHC foods- worm castings, bee pollen, Colorful crabby, naturally berried and then freeze dried bloodworms and baby shrimp.

Wet dish, one cooked large shrimp, banana, nectarine, organic oatmeal sweetened with raw honey.

As I type this, Lightning is dragging off a piece of raw, sliced almond. It's always been a fav in my tank That and Pecans (raw and crushed up a little)

I mix up 1 gallon of Oceanic at a time. I get a gallon of pureified water and ad 1/3 cups to it. shake well, until completely dissolved. Use what I need, recap the jug and save the rest. it's always handy.

Ohhhhhhhh! Very nice!!

I could help with some pics if you need. Just tell me what to shoot and I'd be happy to do it (though you most likely already have it handled LOL!).

ok cool maybe I'll bump up my mix a bit and see how they like it. Thanks for the new info!

The suggested amount of Oceanic brand been changed to 3/4 cup/Gallon for all species, not just Straws?

I would like more input on this as I've been using the 1/2 Cup/Gallon for over a year now. If it has changed we should update the FAQ on Mixing Saltwater.

I avoid skins usually because I'm afraid of pesticides and ripening agents. I haven't seen any organic Mangoes up here so I haven't tried it. I'm sure someone more experienced than me will be by with the answer soon :) oh and mine LOVE Mango - fresh and dried. The dried stuff they drag all over the ...

What concerns me is the slime coat enhancer- From their product description on their website: "Provides a slime coating to help wounds heal and protect fish from abrasions. " I know even on fish, too much slime coat enhancer can essentially choke them. In the past, fish have died from over use of sl...

Thanks! That's pretty much what I was thinking but hadn't had time to really dig in deep and research it more.

I LOVED to nibble it as a child. We would pick it and pretend it was "salad" when we were playing in our fort

*makes SERIOUS mental note to NOT rehydrate them when they arrive in the mail* My kids will have to eat it dry! LOL
