My sons’ have Sea Monkeys, and they want to put something else in the tank. I’ve no problem setting up a different tank for pretty fish, but they want something to put in WITH the Sea Monkeys. Can I put snails in there without it hurting the Sea Monkeys?
Two Green spotted puffer fish and a bumble bee Goby I rescued from certain death. The GSP fish is NOT a fresh Water Fish nor is the bumble goby all were in Freshwater when I found them. The GSP is a very playful fish also know as the puppydog in the fish world. They love to play always begging for food which can be deadly(they will eat themselves to death). Many people confuse the GSP with the Dwarf Freshwater puffer which is the only true freshwater puffer they Do Not live in Brackish. The problem is a lot of stores sell GSP as freshwater fish some even calling them Dwarf Freshwater puffers. There is a difference between the two GSP is 2inch-6inches has Black spots and the Dwarf freshwater PF has more of blotches and line marks their size is only 1inch at adulthood. The Dwarf freshwater puffers are on the watchlist in some countries so close to being endangered. If you do decide you would like to have either GSP or DFP do your research they are both great fish to have but not recommended for the beginner they are very sensitive to nitrates and low PH only eat live brine shrimp or Frozen bloodworms must feed small snails due to their Beak(teeth) constantly growing this keeps the beak trimmed otherwise it will grow so larger the fish can not eat and WILL DIE. The Bumble bee Goby is also another that is really cool as you see the small fry in the vid. He only eats live food, bloodworms &Brine shrimp- is brackish water only Salinity gravity for both should be between 1.005 …

I just got a triops kit and they seem like pretty cool creatures to keep as pets but I want to know what other creatures I can put in the same tank as a triops? I thought about fish, snails, shrimps, sea monkeys and stuff but I dont want anything thats going to get butchered by (or butcher!) my triops. Any suggestions? Also what ornamentation for a triops setup is suitable? Someone said that coconut shell is beneficial to the water. Is this true?

on You Tube . In these videos – I saw a puffer being hand fed a shrimp (like shrimp cocktail that we would eat). It made me curious and I thought I may try that out sometime – I love shrimp myself, so we could ‘share’ a plate. Anyone tried that or what other foods (that you can buy in a grocery store) can they eat: so far I plan to try frozen krill, frozen bloodworms, shrimp pellets, live snails, freeze dried brine shrimp and freeze dried tubifex worms. Any other suggestions? Also, when feeding frozen food to them, is it best to thaw first, like you normally would or drop in frozen so they can ‘tear at it’. Thanks for the help.
I have been setting up my tank for the past 2 months – and finally today I picked up my puffer (had to special order).
