    I checked, they reproduce by letting go a piece of the lower end of them. At least with the websites I have checked. My tank is all cloudy and murky now! Grrr!
    If it is, then they need to get a room!

    They reproduce asexually (detaching a segment which grows into another worm) or sexually (breeding by releasing eggs and "fertilizer" into the water is the most appropriate way I can put it) That's what I've read about them anyway.

    My stomatella snails are always spawing like that too.

    Veedub, there's a REAL EASY way to stop having your posts continually edited. Remember that this is family forum and word your responses with this in mind. PLEASE!!!

    OK, what did I say that was so wrong? If a kid knows the adult meaning of what I said then he already knows. If he doesn't it would just go over his head.

    Oh and INWALL75, I even got good karma for my comment....so there! LOL

    I hadn't read the part about releasing love potion into the water. Its amazing then that they all do it at the same time!

    Last time, I couldn't get my camera quick enough, and it was in my 155. Harder to tell where they were coming from next. But in the 28 nano, a FTS is all it took. I used my camera phone, so the quality is poopy, but at least I caught it. I need to use the bristle trap in there tonight!

    And no Barry White playin in this place! Godsmack, Avenged Sevenfold, and Metallica must be their "love" calling cuz thats all thats played here -:sweethear:sweethear -haha
