Goes both ways. Just. What.

I don't know what to think anymore

Perhaps 🤔 I don't disagree, this scenario is likely. But it's horrible either way, I hate how fish are like objects but things like cats or dogs are better protected. It's awful.

(Cut out sellers name and listing title, I'm only focusing just on the whyyyyyy part)

I'm scrolling through eBay hopelessly looking at different fish and being jealous at people keeping different fish... knowing that I have limitations.. But I digress.. 😐😑 Then I come by this monstrosity.... I can hear them scream for help.. Just whyyy...?

As females release their pheromones, males go coconuts and swim all over until they find their females and make out :)

As above, are you sure it's the shrimp itself? But if they molt, they have tendency to climb out the tank. Well, if it is the shrimp then I'm sorry, you can't do much :( Vampire shrimps need a fast water flow as they originate from fast flowing rivers. They also prefer harder water. What's the...

Yeah, I'm planning on getting more and scatter it about. How I moved my plants about today showed me how much I hate my pennywort being in one spot in a clump.

Thank you! Can't wait for those plants to finally grow in properly :) I sadly have hard water, otos like softer acidic water. I really want to give him some buddies tho. I have 6 kuhlis, I see them forage all the time. Sometimes they get the zoomies and swim all around :D

Might get ambulia for the bald spot or heteranthera. Will for sure get more pennywort, and scatter its stalks around the tank.

The two plants arrived today, tank looks so much better already! But the problem is... That I now have a big bald spot in the corner next to the amazon sword. Why-

Oh good.. Another fish to avoid lol. Maybe for the other tank I should get a paradise gourami, then let my guppies breed freely and just feed the thing with excess fry? The 55L will be pretty long so that'll give it space, and I'll make there tiny tunnels just for my loaches. Yeah, I think...

What about scarlet badis? Or are they soft water fish or would they just rip apart my shrimps?

I was only brain storming, not planning a ram. Just to see if there's a fish suitable for my, my tank size for eating excess fry?

That's great you're washing them, it's a big mistake that some fish keepers make. You don't need the carbon pads, unless you have toxins in the tank or you stopped dosing medication. If you will be dosing any meds, take the carbon out as it will hinder the treatment process.

Yeah, it's really great. I just hate how mine just grows straight horizontally lol.

Seems like the water hardness is only a part of the problem. It wouldn't make fish go off their food (unless I'm mistaken) and poop a lot. I've had my fish in the past poop a lot before it turned white and stringy, then followed by thin looking fish and then deaths. For water changes, you...

More males than females lol, but I will be keeping a few babs. It's why I will be setting up a 55L, for fry. Keep a few babs, sell the rest. Hm. I know I might not be this successful selling them, who even wants share of the trouble hm. Is there a nice fish that would be happy to take them as...

Handsome lil' boi 😍

Thing is, I already have endlers and reg guppies. And most likely hybrids between these two as well.

Moppy is cross between molly and guppy. Quite an adorable name for their hybrids.

Yeah, totally forgor there are so many pool noodles.

Bettas are soft water fish, so are loaches. I believe frogs also prefer softer acidic water like the other two species. Mollies are extremly hard water fish needing 250+ppm hardness. They also need a 30+ gallon tank, they get pretty big. For guppies, I personally say 200+ppm hardness. I keep...

That's correct, my water is hard. I tried looking online for the fish, but I can't find any. Sad.

No idea what to get for my tank, there is basically nothing that suits.

60L. I've kept cories before in my water, they lived long and well.

Looking to get the 6 pygmy cories and 4 otos. My singular oto needs friends, they like friends. Cories, I heard they're active and fun to watch. They're not a bad price together. My main concerns are: What if they're kept in much different water from mine? They can be sensitive, especially...

I have submersed pennywort, it surely loves climbing out 😂

Yeah, not able to lock focus is what holds me back. I like really nice pictures, bothers me the quality of my iPhone lol. I haven't really liked Samsungs, they always got laggy in the end and I had to change them like socks lol. iPhone ended up better working, but camera is just nice for my...

Like, this pic was just pure luck. He usually darts away as I get closer to the tank, and includes lights from my bedroom. (Oh, he shortly yawned after taking this pic lmfao)

Oh, iPhone lacks the camera lock option lol. Mine's the 15 gen. I find it interesting that a simple Samsung takes such breath taking photos ngl. Have you by any chance used older Samsung models? I mean, I'd take the s22, but I bought £150 headphones not too long and I'm unemployed lmfao. Yeah...

Any updates?

@CassCats Do you use a special camera of some sorts for your photos? I'm looking for something as my iPhone doesn't do great close ups lol. I used to have a professional camera, but I had it taken. Sorry for bothering you 🥲

The ever so elusive solo oto at night. I rarely see this little guy :) Overwhelming joy when I actually do see him. No thoughts behind his eyes lol.

I might as well... I'm at such a loss... Like... I can't do anything right. Ever. Everything I touch I ruin.
