they just keep getting better and better. They're all around 3/4" or bigger now. Can't wait to see then at 1.5"

My display gets a wide variety of food. There are 5 different pleco species that all have different needs, silver dollars, clowns and roseline barbs. I feed a lot of veggies and fruit, watermelon being the main one. For the protein part of their diets I feed frozen brine, blood worms, dr...

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08DFQ2QR2?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image I've been making brine for my fry. I use live brine for 2 days after they hatch to feed and than after that whatever is left over I use a pipette to fill the above linked trays. The cube sizes are really nice and...

I dont know if it's exactly what you would call funny but let's talk about the lifespan of a roll of toilet paper. Personally, I can make a roll of toilet paper last quite a long time. I will leave the semantics of how to use it correctly to your imagination but....a roll for just me...

Youre right about the reviews as far as people are more apt to respond when something goes wrong. Petco.com has all the reviews/pics for this 40g breeder and the majority of them were people who's tanks had leaked but very few were satisfied customers. There are probably 100Xs more people who...

My redtail shark, clowns and plecos use them but never have I seen an Oto use one. I could be wrong though as Otos are fairly small and it would be hard to see them in a dark cave. I do see them asleep in the plants for the most part when they're not out and about cleaning the tank

Richard Gere doesn't approve of this post

Am I the only one who hates seeing them in those tiny cups? Kind of pisses me off not gonna lie. Rant over before it started sorry

What are you favorite fish foods? Do you know where your fish came from and what it likes to eat in the wild? Is it an omnivore, herbivore or carnivore? Do you try to substitute somewhat close to what it would eat in the wild? Talk about what you feed and why. Some of you have some serious...

My Oto's like to hide in the plants when theyre not scavenging the tank. I've never seen them in the caves we have. I've seen them on top of them but never in them.

This reminds me of the Simpsons for some reason. The intro with the 3 eyed fish

I'm gonna be expanding breeding operations a bit so over the past few weeks I've been doing a lot of window shopping. New tanks have been the main focus. I've been drooling over the Zoo Med 50g low boy but ultimately I decided it wasn't gonna be in the best interest of my laziness. The...

Jes jajajajjajajaaa

Tidals come with seachem matrix. I added more. I also added chemi blue, purigen and pot scrubbers. The storage space is more than ample, flow is adjustable and there's tons of it and the removable tray is a decent idea. They sell replacement pads for fairly cheap. I saw some today, 10 for...

Dan's may do a wonderful job granted but....fish can stress and get sick from shipping. You put those fish in that Dan took great care of and through no fault of his youve now got a case of ich running rampant through your tank. It's always better to quarantine

Go Doyers!

Most of the time discus and angels are fine but every once in awhile you'll get an azzhole angel that's mean and will chase everything in the tank. I've had to rehome a few angels because of this and not just with discus. Some of the most beautiful tanks I've seen are planted with discus...

I've never had great success with angels as juveniles. I would say about a 50% mortality rate. I wonder if overfeeding was the problem now that you say that. We feed display tanks once maybe twice a day and they aren't severely overfed but now that has me thinking. I did get a nice group of...

I've been trying to cop a couple Zoo Med low boy tanks myself for breeding but it's proving to be difficult. Contacted Zoo Med themselves and im getting the run around. I gotta get another tank set up asap for some 173s and a grow out tank for my fry that are now about 1". Cmon Zoo Med help a...

The lids are on sale too?

I've used this method along with seeded filters from my other tanks and it has worked every single time for me. Prime/stability once a day and daily testing, water change after a week and continue to do prime/stability for up to 14 days. Pretty confident since I have used this to start my L046...

Do you have the numbers from both water sources (ph/gh/kh)? I mix RO water with tap and use a TDS meter. I mix about 60/40 RO/Tap and shoot for 60 TDS. For me my PH is around 6.8-7. Water from my tap is around 7.5 PH with the API nitrate test showing 20ppm straight from the tap. My TDS...

LOL that fish looks so old he trims nose and ear hair

How often are you testing? I've seen so many different theories on this. Just curious what yours is. Personally I check TDS more than anything else because I want my fish to have the highest quality water to breed. I will from time to time run a full array of tests just for peace of mind...

Yea its just general plumbing that's easy to work with. You can buy parts from almost anywhere. I mic'd the numbers a couple years ago to make sure when I went to the hardware store I got the right sized fittings. Sponges work great for restricting flow. Mess around with different density...

You can slow the rate of flow down significantly by using a sponge on the outlet side. Simply attach a sponge to the return outlet and you can pretty much slow it down to as little or as much as you'd like. For this reason alone if you have enough room to go with an FX6 that's what I would...

Yup, that's how you recharge Purigen with bleach. Afterwards you let it dry out and than soak it in a bucket of water with prime. Like brand new I also use the nitrate test solution 1 API test bottle instead of vinegar. Vinegar doesn't always work

"An armed society is a polite society" Amazing that the level of crime was essentially nonexistent in Idaho compared to here in California. I'm sure Wyoming is much the same. We used to go to Wyoming to purchase liquor when i lived in Utah! I've snowboarded at Jackson hole as well, what a...

Sounds like that lady just needed the "right potatoe"..

I moved to Idaho in July 2019. My 1st week there I went to tractor supply. While walking from my truck through the parking lot a woman was walking hand in hand with 2 small children. I noticed a desert eagle holstered on the side of her hip. She couldn't have been taller than 5'. Instantly...

In my younger days I would have said "baked". Now that I'm more seasoned I wouldnt proclaim to be intellectual because the older I get the more I realize just how much I dont know but you know as a potatoe gets older and the extra hair starts growing out of places it didn't used to... I'd say...

Damn Magnum that's awful sorry to hear on 2 fronts. Stroke obviously being number 1 glad you're OK now and number 2 changing your diet. Food is meant to be enjoyed and that got taken from you on a certain level. In this house we don't eat food without some sort of chile (heat). I couldn't...
