Most importantly, will they eat any of the hair algae currently living in our tank?<br /><br />Of course, we dripped the mollies for at least several hours... During that time, we walk walked and stand stand and watche a movie as well... When we checked on them periodically, they appeared to be breathing although not swimming much...maybe they were scared... :P So when the time was right, vap dropped each one into the tank. We were able to locate 2 white ones, 1 black one and one gold one... As for the others, we just hoped they survived and didn't die immediately upon entering the tank... :(<br /><br />So, all in all, they seemed to be ok and swimming a bit...<br /><br />Will have to check on them later to see what has happened since last night...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

tip anemone in the 20G tank decided to take a walk on Tues when neither vapo or I was around to watch it...<br /><br />Sadly, its walk ended at the powerhead where it got sucked into the power head and died...<br /><br />The water got cloudy and vapo's mom place the 3 fishes (nemos) into our 30G tank in hopes that they will survive...<br /><br />The death of the anemone claimed its own victims too in which the cleaner shrimps perished with the anemone...<br /><br />Luckily, the fishes survived and things seem to be ok now...
