one other thing, of course my favorite online fish store is liveaquaria.com (dr fosters and smith)...most of the fish, frogs, snails and live plant life were purchased from liveaquaria...of course the shipping costs may deter you, but I have never ever lost any plants or fish etc from liveaquaria in transit or in the tank over the last 18 months. In fact, I bought platies from liveaquaria only to have to purchase african dwarf frogs in order to keep the population explosion down cause the tank was filling up with all healthy livebearers.

so if you want to purchase from the best, if you do not mind spending up to $34.99 for shipping, next day service, then liveaquaria.com is the way to go.

did I type liveaquaria enough...liveaquaria live aquaria liveaquaria...what was that you say: LIVEAQUARIA!!! (((smiles)))
