There's 18 pages, and I'm new here, so I'm not sure who bucky is. But if it's the mantis, and he's on his back, he's not going to make it, I'm sorry...
Oh, the lab is the lab at work... that's where I've brought scraping. The local clinic was a vet clinic. The rest were shipped to a pathologist and...
No, I can't freeze them. Freezing them just about ruins all the info. I have to overnight ship them. I send them airtight in a Foodsaver baggie. The...
They are predators of the critters in your sandbed. Will they cause damage in low numbers... nah. I've had one for 10 years. He just died.... I felt...
I've had a professional necropsy done on about 10 of my fish. The information I was looking for was not about anatomy, but I needed cultures. This I...
I can't say if the picture above was altered, but I have seen ones just like it in person.
Ah... California here... the night is still young :-) Night!
*Gives BR a margarita too.* :-) K then, to me... to say a fish went through a cycle and it was "okay", means there were no ill effects or undo...

One of my favourite fish is the Fu Man Chu. If you feel up to the challenge, one would go nicely with your fuzzies. But there's always a chance one...
There's a thousand ways to skin a cat... this is true. I prefer to cause no harm. I too cycled with mollies..... 15 year years ago. Heck, I even set...
We may not be able to see the 4th/5th. I bet it's there somewhere. If you see it go under a rock, get ready with some tweezers and lift the rock up....
But the hunt can be worth it. Have you ever trained a fish to eat from a stick before?
Living though a cycle does not mean it wasn't an uncomfortable experience. Ammonia doesn't have to kill your fish. They can live through long stints...
Depends on what it is, I guess. My Eunice likes any food I was feeding to the preds and I feed it from a stick now. If we find out what it likes to...
If you see it, yank it out until you get a positive ID. That's a sound action whenever you see something odd you didn't add and you don't recognize....
