  • snail problem solved!

    I bought 6 blue snail eating haps. I don't know the real name. put them in the pond out back. Newb,Chris & Tim saw how many MTsnails I had in there when they netted the fish for the auction. Nothing but shells now. these guys work. 1000 times better than the loaches. 10,000 times better than assain snails. I know I've tried both and wasted hundreds of dollars on them. Real happy about this so I am going to breed these guys. Anyone know where I can get stock local?

                        only problem with these fish so far is THEY ARE MEAN! they shredded the the fins on 8- 8"-10" goldfish I got from Tim to keep the tank cycled. they no longer have fins but streamers. ): These goldfish are going to live out in Magnolia in Virginia's pond. SOON!

                            PM him.
                            I ate my fish that died.
