    Well good luck with that HL.  :p

    And shame on the fish store.
    THere are some near me that have those too. That freaked me out.

    In my opinion, just another thing they shouldn't carry. Or at least be special order to qualified buyers so to speak.

    If they make it through transport, they will probably just die when they get sucked in a powerhead or an overflow or in a tank that is too hot, etc.. but the LFS will make a few cents when they sell it to a kid that thinks they are cool. So there you are.  ::)

    HL14 not to repeat myself or anything but there you go again asking for help after the fact. You have it and you have already put in your tank it is to late to ask about acclimating it and if it will harm or be harmed by anything it your tank. Please research your purchases BEFORE you get them ....... JOhn

    John,

    That's a wealth of information but it doesn't answer the MOST important question!

    What is that John? How long will it take to die? If so I think your question was just answered ::)
