A:  I'd be happy to take a look at them.  LA

Others have already done a better job than I could do.  LA

A:  Actually we prefer to buy our snakes from local breeders -- especially those who didn't sell all their stock at the November show.  Call Mike tomorrow (283-0300) and see if we need them.  LA

A:  It's really difficult for us to get anything live out of Australia.  So I've had no personal experience with the toothless catfish.  You can research it under the name Anodontiglanis dahli.  Your best source is probably scotcat.com out of the UK.  LA

A:  Yep.  Those clay pots work the best but are not absolutely necessary.  You can't always find them on dealers' shelves.  They're a handmade product you can order from plecocaves.com.  I'll add your info to my bristlenose page.  LA

A1:  I can't help you on your urine question.  It may or may not indicate blood in his urine.  Much depends upon what you've been feeding him.
A2:  Male convicts do not always help the female care for her fry.  Male convicts have a definite proclivity for beating the crap out of females (and other fish) close enough to reach.  If you separate him, put him in a container by himself.  LA. 

A:  You don't ID the "other geckos" in its cage.  Could be it's a female tired of being grabbed by the males.  Or it's smaller than the other geckos and feels intimidated.  Be careful lifting goldens or you'll get those stinky bowel movements all over your hands.  LA
PS  Don't let them crawl on your shirt.

A:  The leaves cost $6.  The postage will be under $4.  LA

A:  Some people consider them real piranhas.  Some do not.  I'm not going to do a care sheet on them because piranhas are illegal in Des Moines.  I'm not sure I've ever seen one in real life.  They prefer fish scales as their main food.  They're not good mixers.  I'm sure they'd convert to plankton or krill depending on their size.  LA

A:  Giant Brazilian white knees get bigger than the ones you listed.  They're a bit more aggressive.  Some sources recommend 80 F but they seem to get along fine at room temp.  LA

Male zebra finches plus a gouldian.  Female orange weaver third from left and at top. 

A:  Canaries cost mucho dinero everywhere.  To fit your wallet, you probably need zebra finches.  Later add society finches and others for color.  LA

10-inch piebald dojo.

A:  Dojos like to plow thru their substrate.  If it's rough or has sharp edges, it could scratch them and make them susceptible to bacterial infections.  I assume you're treating him with a bacterial retardant.  By the way, dojos can thrive at much lower temperatures.  LA
