Really???!!?? I had a kuhli in my community tank forEVER, and never had any problems! He kept the pond snails under control, mainly by eating the eggs, but never bothered my big mystery snails or my trumpets. I had 3 otos, the kuhli, the snails, and a bunch of ghost shrimp in the tank, with some fancy goldfish.

I lost everybody when the power went out in the dead of winter and all my beautiful plants. It froze so hard and so fast that it even busted my tank. Broke my heart.

i don't get it either, but i'm not getting anymore loaches any time soon... i've heard kuhlis are fine, but i was also told that skunk loaches are even friendlier... i think they just like the fins, but i don't know... they just killed as many guppies as they could... now i gotta get the little guy that disapeared when i got the rest out... and the tank was stripped except for gravel... i still don't get that either... :::scratches head bald!:::

Can I jump in on the MP part? A friend of mine who grew up in Scotland (now lives in England) was actaully an extra in HG as a young child. Apparently, for the village scenes, they needed a lot of ragamuffins, so they went to the local school (which happened to be hers) and basically got a field trip together of a bunch of kids. She said they had no idea what they were doing, just sort of stood around in dirty clothes looking snotty and pathetic, LOL!

Well, I did finally get most of the GS done, but it has been sitting untouched for awhile because of other things going on.



That was right after I did it before it really expanded. I need to climb in there and do more work on the bottom, lol

As far as stocking the tank, I have decided on a school of six hara jerdoni and a trio of scarlet badis, and some clithon corona snails.

Wow! I haven't been back to this thread in AGES! I thought I'd been checking in better than that--so sorry!

Oh, yeah, I'm a big MP fan! I had my sons watching it when they were quite young. oooops. It was a wee bit disconcerting when they asked me about oral sex right in front of friends from India and Nepal! "Where did you learn about that?" "But Mom, don't you remember in the search for the Holy Grail when . . . " "Oh, yeah, I remember that, let's talk about that later!" ULP. We discussed that one on the way home after dinner! Tee-Hee!

My sons memorized that movie! Along with the Life of Brian . . . Ah, yes, dearly beloved MP! Wish I could visit that castle!

The vive is looking really cool, Kyryah! I'm really watching this process as I try to figure out what to do with my 75-gallon I'm planning for little lizard types! I really love the way you've incorporated the wood into the tank, and I can hardly wait to see the finished product!!

Looking great, I am really looking forward to seeing it planted and with fish. What are you going to cover the GS with? Keep us up to date!
