Well I was a 'freaker-outer' when I had my first hitchhiker. Why - because so many things I read screamed to 'get those suckers out of there now!'. 
 
I have to be careful in my betta tanks, but that is because my bettas will eat a lot of snails. But each betta has a 'pet nerite' as I like to call it, and the nerite has a job to do and is also pretty darn cute.
 
As I started to get into the planted tanks more, I would get hitchhikers and... again OMG freak out. I'm on a FB page of very local folks that do planted tanks and I can still remember the pic one person posted of their shrimp tank with (what looked like) hundreds of snails and he was furious. That helped instill the fear of those 'pond snails'.
 
Then one person finally told me - you got a pond snail hitch hiker... lucky you! My jaw dropped. What? Lucky? Then I read about the 'too many snails means YOU are doing something off, not them'.
 
I will admit the knee jerk reaction of AHHHH get them out!!! Took time and I still closely watch, but I have tried to warm up to the 2 pond snails currently in the snowball tank and even thank them (yes... out loud, when no one is looking) when I see them cleaning the glass.
 
This is my betta "Bubba's" pet nerite. The snail's name is Sam - like the sidekick/bff in Lord of the Rings, ha ha They have been together for about 9 months now.

My massive ball of pellia. It takes up a whole corner in my 10 gallon. The ball is sitting on a rock in the back corner. It's larger than both my fists put together. This stuff grows like crazy for me. That's a white cloud in the last picture for size reference.
 

 

 

Gotta love the system! Its kinda like I get an incentive bonus each month that hits the P+L so the more I get the less I get the following month. Kinda silly to bust my butt to get a good one which only hurts the next one. LOL

If I remember correctly as a sole proprietor you can be sued and lose everything you own...as an LLC they can only get what the business assets are.

Last time I went I bought 2 55's 3 40's and 6 tens np

In my limited experience I would agree cherries are like cockroaches hard to kill and hard to stop reproducing. My blue velvets are just getting established but seem to be equally as hardy. After 3 months and a couple different sources I have my first berried yellow. I have lost at least half if not more of the yellows during this time (mind you all params are the same in these tanks). My chocolates are in crs params and although I lost most in the big crash some have survived. They seem to be very hardy tho its definitely true the conditions ideal for crs were not condusive for the neos to thrive. They are getting their own tank and time will tell.

Congrats Bryce!

Holy...I've never seen any shrimp with such a huge saddle. I did however have one BD shrimp produce at least twice the amount of eggs as my other BDs

This is awesome! Thanks! ^^

L144 is not common its the blue eye bn. believe me i got ripped a new on on planet cat fish about that topic lol. the green male and albino long fin female gave me at least 75% albino out of it. i saw very few greens come from the cross. and he had crossed it with other colors that never produced albino. as or the the L144 and green not sure what will come from it because these are pure L144 no other color in them. same with the greens they were from wild stock and never crossed with other colors. so there should not be a brown in the mix either way. i got backgrounds when i got these fish and know back grounds. yes i was a bit suprised when i got over 50/50 mix in the albino. i figured it would be majority of the babies green because in most thing albino is recessive and both have to carry the gene to produce albino. not sure how i would get brown from a green though so could you explain that one?

Thanks guys just frustrated! And ya I knew better. And btw Han I just recommended u to a friend wanting to know where he could get some flame moss
And im sure u can fill in the letters where asterics are to figure it out but starts with AZ

Randy is in Canada not sure he ships to US but there are plenty of US sellers here with great stock

I believe Steve was referring to the original TB or PRL breeder still keeping value not the offspring

I was ordering some TT and my source told me the pure ones are harder to find now (most are now mixed with TB gene for pinto), but he has this improved version of it. So I ordered 20 of them for myself ;-)

Ok so I got way more then I expected, I put as much as I could in my tank while lewaving room for my other plants and enough swimming room for my fish.
Here's some pics.
