I start school again in a few weeks, I hear you Shawn. You should all "like" the Facebook page, there are going to be a number of contests in the next couple weeks and a big give-away when it hits 1000 likes. A panel was given away last night.
The website is getting updated in the next week or two, there are quite a few new models not on there yet. Have to get good photos of them before they can go up. But there is always something that can work with just about any sized tank. Just send an email though the website or on here. I also...
Hey guys, local member here, I'm sure a few of you have met me in person. I have been a long time designs by nature customer and became friends with the owner over the years and have started helping him out with the massive volume of online inquiries he gets--we both work "normal" jobs and with...

Do I test my water? :lol:
I'll quote Mo Devlin, whom I recently talked to about this species... "I've never had a hait that didn't end with bloat."
His old male:
I have a male but he's probably just a bit over 3". I spawned my pair once (very young) and then the female just pulled one of those mystery deaths this species is famous for. Mine also digs all day, piles of sand everywhere.
I've also heard of people using vodka to euthanize fish (not kidding, google it) so it may have been two fold. Alcohol definitely kills bacteria and I'm sure there's a host of other things in listerine you don't want in your system.
Ew. Did you try moving the hog to different water? Like another tank? I had a silicone leaching issue with my 125 last year and thought I would lose all my fish. Moved them to a new tank and all were fine the next day.
