they live for about 4-5 years, even the "annuals" can even live up to 2 years.

Oh great, that virus is all across the states now. HUGS from afar ;-)
The only way to sleep is in a recliner- no laying flat in bed. I've had it over 2 weeks, & *still coughing.

Thanks. I learned that Friday night. This morning I could sleep laying down alright. Just my stoopit nose won't stop running. It's all stuffed up when I'm sitting up but as soon as I lay down, it doesn't stop. It's not bad, just irritating.

typical guy thinking size means everything

Thats right! You tell 'em! >8^D

nope not true mine eat everything ..main staple is pellets and flakes, when im not lazy they get frozen, summer time they get daphnia and mosquito larva, and a few times a month I stock all my tanks with live black worms.

same goes for all the killifish I keep.

the LFS I sell to sells live black worms ....they are California Black worms .. you should be able to get them.

they live in all my tanks..even the shell dweller, heated or non heated. They really keep the fish interactive, love watching them foraged for food.

I meant, can't get them locally. We're a loooong way from good retail stores.
