    Walstad Jar

    You can't ship these bowls, it's pick up only. It's something I'm doing with my spare time (of which I have very little), it's not my primary job so it has to be worth the time and effort for me and in the end the customer gets a unique and one off nano tank. I've sold 5 so far and everyone has...

    Breeding rack

    I've noticed my female aggassizi double red has been spending a lot of time in the cave...I just found out why! Took them a while but they finally did it!

    Breeding rack

    I ordered 5 online, they all arrived at the shop DOA due to delays in shipping and I ended up getting a refund. They haven't had anymore arrive since.

    Funny you should ask 😂 I just got back from the fish shop and was about to show what I got! So when I picked up my apisto aggassizi double reds I actually went to the shop with the intention of buying cacutuoides super reds but they only had the albinos. Well today I went back and they had a...

    Walstad Jar

    Everything aquarium related is expensive here, unfortunately. If you can find a pea puffer here the cheapest I've seen is about $180 whereas in other countries they're only a few dollars.

    Frozen themed walstad jar

    Have left it alone for a while now and it's starting to look a bit over grown...I kinda like it! Even more baby shrimp are popping up!

    Efficient water changing

    To remove water i use a gravel vac with a long hose attached to it that runs out into the garden. To fill water i use a Jai water changer (below) which attaches to a garden hose that plugs into an adaptor that's fitted to a tap in our laundry.

    22 gallon community tank

    Yeh I've been using this soil a bit lately and you're right, if you don't do enough water changes you get heaps of hair algae. I'm starting to get heaps in my apisto tank so think I need to get ontop of it lol

    22 gallon community tank

    Finally got around to planting. I put my original filter that has been running on a spare tank to instant cycle but it's reading about 2.0ppm ammonia so I'm guessing the ADA Amazonia is leeching lots of ammonia. Lucky I didn't add any fish without checking! I think it definitely needs more...

    Mick's Nano side hussle

    I make them to order and I do give care tips when they come to pick them up. Most of the people who have bought them so far have experience with fish keeping and have other tanks running. If they don't then I explain the nitrogen cycle and recommend they buy a master test kit. I'm easy to catch...

    Mick's Nano side hussle

    Went a few weeks with no one enquiring on my ad, thought it was strange and then realised the ad needed to be deleted and relisted so it becomes more visible. Instantly started getting enquiry again! Here's 2 new bowls I made for people in the last few days. Using driftwood instead of spider...

    Thought I'd post up a pic before I do a big trim back! I've got some pots of plants in there temporarily. They'll be going into my new community tank when some more plants show up! Apisto tank is growing in nicely too! Still waiting for them to make babies 😣
