me feed them my leftover pellets loh... tetrabits, hikari sinking wafers, carni pellets and crab cuisine...

inside the 6"x4"x4" floating tank, only got 5 small pcs of CC... and at least half the floor and walls covered with snails... and now, lots of jelly-like blobs all over the tank... abt 3-5mm in diameter...

yupz... they are with the GS now... maybe after this batch of GS is cleared in a few days, the whole tank will go to them...

not sure if the slits along the side walls are small enough anot... how big are the newborns? ... the holes are big enough for their shit to flush thru...
