Dang. Permission to borrow your fish so they can have a gourmet meal and teach my fish how to get good? 😂😂

Yeah! Just make sure to have a fitted lid that’s strong enough for the cat to sit on! Prevents the cat from getting any fishy ideas and provides a sittin space which hopefully won’t accidentally result in a wet irritated kitty

Ugh. I also thought assassin snails would be okay with large snails if the assassin snails were few in numbers. I put one (1) assassin snail in my 55g and it took five dead nerites later for me to finally see the assassin again. Hadn’t seen hide nor hair (shell?) since I first put him in but I...

I pray to whatever deity exists that he’s not an altum. But he *looks* like a zebra. But his fins just won’t stop growing. It’s really ridiculous. I don’t remember any special labels when buying him in July. And his fins were much shorter then. The rest of my angels have much shorter...

Dead plant bits can add to the bad bio load of a tank. You can trim off the dead/sick parts and see if that makes the plant revive. As for easy plants to keep: Java moss (can get dirty tho) Amazon swords Java fern (very very easy. Mine are very big with no special care.) Anubis (when Cory...

They eat it??? Huh. Mine don’t. They’ve bitten the falling leaves but they just spit it out. My kids don’t like their salad apparently 😤 But my kids have also never liked the veggies I chop up for them. I think it’s because I can’t quite get the pieces small enough…. Time to put the veggies in...

Do you have any snails in the tank? They kinda look like snail eggs to me. I have nerites and the females leave eggs EVERYWHERE. It’s a bit ridiculous. They won’t hatch unless you add salt to the tank, so in freshwater tanks they just kinda build up. Hard to get rid of on plants and decorations...

….would you like some duckweed? I’m convinced duckweed would survive a nuclear war.

I am having the exact same issue. I just removed a bucketful from all my tanks AND THERE WAS MORE A WEEK LATER. I regret not doing proper research on floating plants before buying it. It’s choking my plants… robbing them of previous light…. My poor filters need unclogged constantly…… I got it...

Yeah…. Whenever my ladies blow a load I’m typically fishing out fry over at least 24 hours. Depending on how crowded your tank is, guppies can give birth anywhere from 1-120 at once if conditions permit and if you have multiple pregnant guppies then those numbers stack. My ladies average out...

Oohhhhhh I didn’t know there was an art discussion I draw off and on, mostly off cause I get frustrated but here’s some of mine:

Now *thats* risky. If someone not trusted saw it and reported it? I only got back room privileges after a year of visiting

Already there 😭 It’s made a home in 3 other tanks A daily problem

The games are really fun (The second game is brutal tho.) The TV show is actually slowing the game down~ taking more time to establish the world/characters. I hope the tv show takes time to establish a few characters that appear in the second game before it gets covered. At the rate it’s going I...

Anyone been watching tlou? 👀👀 I’ve been thoroughly enjoying it so far. I hate clickers so much. Most terrifying and difficult world enemy in the game by far. My sister learned how to replicate their clicking sound and she sometimes does it randomly to make me freak the eff out.

Illegal in my state too but *looks left, right, and leans in to whisper* one of my LFS has a secret back room with state illegal fish hehehehe

Dang. I really wish this post existed before I started fishkeeping. Duckweed is nightmare material. I really really hate it. I got it for the same purpose you did: to help fry survive. I saw it in the fish store and was like: oh! Cute floating plants weee! I have regrets. Clogs filters like...

Yessss! I have 6 and plan to get more. I love them! Very peaceful. My group are a little shy and stick to the tall plants so figured a bigger shoal would help their confidence 😂 I have 3 of both genders. One of the boys has slight scoliosis and now we’re scoliosis bros 😎

Electric blue ram! I had two but one just passed away after developing a heavily sunken tummy. Thought it was parasites but she continued to get worse even after treatment.

HUZZAH

Eyyyyy! We have similar stockings! ❤️❤️❤️ I have cherry barbs rather than neons tho, all in my 55g. I keep my guppies in their own tanks 😂 Can I ask you how to attached the plants to the wood?

SHES ALIVEEEEEE Just saw her today! She vanished seconds after I saw her but she’s there! Almost as big as the cherry barbs now. Guppies grow so rapidly in the 55 💀

Yay! Glad you’re back, Colin! How are you doing?

Now for the ultimate question…… Which ones your favorite? 😏 Also holy moly how long do water changes take you??!

Hmmm… at your LFS did you see any ich? When I started fish keeping, my guppies had a similar sudden unexplainable death. And it wasn’t until I bought a tetra and he had spots the next day that I finally found the issue. The guppies never showed spots. Treated it with ich x and haven’t had any...

nerite snails are my go to for algae clean. They stay a reasonable size and are very busy little critters. I typically keep 1 per 5 gallons of tank and rotate them as needed if one tank has a bit of an algae breakout. They also have much smaller antennas (not sure what they’re really called) so...

Something that greatly helped my new fish survive was to do drip accumulation. A lot of people were talking about cycling so I figured I’d mention that if you wanted to try. It’s basically you set up a dripper that feeds your tanks water into the fish bags about one drop per second. This helps...
