yes i did make a thread... but i only got one response, no offense to the person that replyed (thank you) but i always like to get multiple opinions on things like this since i dont know the person personally and then cant judge how reliable it is. its not personal o anything to anyone its just being safe. lets put it this way, if say, the bug is dangerous to my polys, and a newbie gets on and for the heck of it says its harmless without knowing one way or the other whether or not it is and my polys get hurt, well thats not very responsible of me to have trusted just one person without adequate reasoning for doing so. im just trying to be a responsible fish keeper. thats not offensive at all and anyone who understands that would completely agree with me. see, no worries. im just double checking. and i will net it out and kill it next time i see it.
by the way, im so jealous of your redtail catfish. i want one so bad but have no where ot put it.
