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.

Pff now that I look at the tank, I might as well remove two moss balls, leave one in. I'd put the other two in my second tank, but this will be a bit. I do think I don't have more space for the three.

I don't think I have enough space for cholla... And I have two more plants arriving to me today 🫠

I don't know what is happening to them, before I quit I had no problems at all. Shrimps are hard to please mannn.... 😭

I have seen some saddled shrimps, and have seen the like that for a long while but haven't seen any berried shrimps. My guppies for now are so tiny they still can't eat pellets.

Shrimp are complex creatures that go on beyond our understanding 😄

So you think it's the hardness? Before I quit they were happily breeding, well until they ceased. As for hiding spots, I'm not sure what they'd like: To that I have two more plants coming in the mail :/ Or could it be the loaches? I wouldn't blame my little guplets, or my oto who keeps...

And in their first moments they aren't free swimming either, from what I know. They need atmospheric air to gain the balance. Edited my m a j o r spelling mistake 😬

Pff I don't even know how I did it 😄🤌 I only left it in my old tank which was severly uncared of. Conditions in which duckweed t h r i v e s, right? Wrong. It just kept disappearing :)

I had my plants come from different people that have propagated them, these died over course of time or I've thrown them out knowing they wouldn't make it. I've found out that these potted, in boxes (I buy the Tropica range), plants usually make it out very well. Why?? I've never heard of anyone...

They're always gonna be pregnant if store or anywhere else mixed them with males. As it was already mentioned, they also store sperm.

I just suck at keeping plants. I kill them. It's a house plant, but that thing went easily 4 months without being watered. It still was full of water, green and happy. My aquarium plants? Most have stalled, died off, melted, or just disappeared all of a sudden. I managed to kill of duckweed as...

I've found on my water provider's site:

I haven't had that problem before I quit the hobby. They were happy breeding, then they stopped and population dipped.

Most plants I got turned out to do just as bad as I do in life, they melted :)

I'm excited to receive them :)

Total hardness is 255ppm, pH is over 7.0. More than perfect for shrimps. And yeah, I haven't really seen them molt. I've seen only one cherry molt, and that's about it. I've also been seeing less of my amanos as well, not sure if they're hiding or something. I usually see them by feeding time.

The guppies are tiny, and the females came already berries from the store. I also do have kuhli loaches, but after the shrimplets hatched my noodles didn't bother them whatsoever. Sheimplets were ignored. Since then I just haven't seen a single female being berried.

I got them August 26th. They're soon a good couple months old. I'll try. But don't guppies need 25 Celsius? I thought that cooler temperatures slow down metabolism.

I ended up bying hygrophila siamensis and polysperma :D

I'll check these out :D

I use a sponge filter. I do these things already 😕

Hi, I have had mine for a while, not to mention the honorary berried females (it's how they came from the shop) that hatched their eggs a while back now. I haven't seen them breed at all. They don't seem to be thinking of commiting mitosis. Why? They get a good diet, temp is 26 Celsius, tank...

I was thinking a hygrophila of some kind?
