Re: [GSAS-Member] Small Disc Shaped Snails ( was Whoever was selling java ferns at the auction)

The information that I found online for pea puffers says that they do  
best in 7.0-8.0 pH water.  In my tank that's infested(and surely my  
other won't be far behind - they share a python), my water is pretty  
hard and holds a pH of 8.4-.6.  How do you think they'd stand against  
more rambunctious cichlids? My multies are pretty mean, and my  
mbuna(in my currently uninfested tank) like to harass each other.   
Does anyone have any pea puffers they don't want anymore?

Maybe the city of Seattle and Snohomish County PUD have begun  
importing pea puffers and decided they wanted a good revenue  
generator.  Even worse, what if they're not actually snails at all,  
but microchips to control our minds?
