			<description><![CDATA[ I like the looks of some of the mosses I have seen while searching online. But one thing confuses me, the cleaning. I see that some people put moss as a
&quot;ground cover&quot; look, and I like it, but how the heck do you clean your gravel then? I personally would only do a couple small patches, since I only
have a 10 gal tank. Some sellers on ebay show moss on a plastic mesh 2x2 square.

			<description><![CDATA[ I am absolutely fascinated by the tank of ghost shrimp that my LFS keeps. It&#39;s inevitable; every time I walk in, I spend at least five minutes looking at
them. However, before I go off of the deep end (and end up with another tank, heaven forbid), I would like to know more about them.
<br>
<br>
What sort of water conditions do they take? What do they eat? How long do they live, generally? Are they better solo, or living in groups? I have heard they
are acceptable tank mates for goldfish,... ]]></description>

up a couple of questions. 1) Do you rinse them off after the bath and before they go into the QT? 2) I have two QT so I can switch them into a clean one after
the bath...how long do you do the bleach soak?...and then how long do you do the dechlorinated water soak?? 3)I have no... ]]></description>

<br>
Hello, I&#39;m Syd, and I&#39;m addicted to bettas.
<br>
<br>
In my defense, I had to have him. He was in a teeny tiny little cup (the betta cups the LFS uses are about a third of the size the ones the local Wal-Mart
uses), flaring his little head off at his reflection in the back mirror. He was happy and healthy and his fins were absolutely glorious. Another fish,
naturally, meant another fish... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi! I have an african dwarf frog that I just recently noticed has white eyes. I researched this on Google and found someone talking about their blind adf
having milky white eyes but I can&#39;t imagine my frog just went blind all of a sudden. Plus, it looks more like someone very perfectly painted tiny round
circles on top of the eyes, instead of the whole eye actually being white. Is this blindness or what? ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hello everyone! My name is Amanda, I&#39;m 27 years old and I live in a suburb of Detroit, MI. I currently have 3 ADFs and a crown tail betta. I had a veil
tail betta for about 3 years who recently passed away. I&#39;ve been keeping fish on and off since high school, and this is my first foray into keeping frogs.
I&#39;ve been looking for a forum where I could connect with other frog owners, and after a couple false starts I think this may be the place for me. Everyone
here seems helpful... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ So in June I rescued an ADF from my sons school. She was being kept in a peace-lilli vase and had very minimal water changes. I knew she had been there for a
few years and pawned of in the summers to families willing to &quot;care&quot; for her. I have a ACF so I was really worried about adopting her. I have her in
a different room from the ACF and the ACF went back to school with me in August.

			<description><![CDATA[ Hello friends...
<br>
About 6wks ago ,I bought a new adf without inspecting him properly at the store.
<br>
First his foot was withered,then it fell off at the ankle.
<br>
It appears to be a struggle for him to reach the surface,but I&#39;ll assume he&#39;s geting enough oxygen or he would have passed by now.
<br>
Other wise he appears to be living a &quot;normal&quot; life with my other ADF&#39;s.
<br>
So...Here&#39;s two questions
<br>
*Has anyone else seen this condition?
<br>
*Do you feel... ]]></description>

medicated pro gold, and peas. We are on day 4 of no food at all for the upside down fish. She now has sores on her belly from being out of the water from
floating on the top unside down. How do you humanely put them down?

I have had this little guy for two weeks. He was in a small bowl, that I did water changes on every 2 days. When I bought him his tail already had a
