Who Gives A Fish Forums

That's terrible, so sorry to hear that.

Lovely little critters

Awwww huge congrats, I had a brief intro to shellies and I totally fell for them, now I'm on the lookout to get some more.

You could've given me a heads up lol.

This is thrilling, I'll be keeping a close eye on her now, fingers crossed it's what I'm hoping for.

They've only been here since Saturday, can you believe it lol
