Pretty fish. Here is a pic of my red coral dwarf platy nursery.

Sponges and bag of Seachem Matrix.

Thanks. What do you mean by basket atm?

I am using an aqua clear 110 on this 60 gallon tank. Is it possible that the water flow in the upper third of the water column is too strong for the tetras? Is this why I never see them swimming anywhere near the surface? They hang out at the bottom of the tank with a. thomasi.

I never see any of the 3 species of fish in the African tank eat. Even when I was away for a week and the fish were not fed, they did not eat in front of me when I fed them upon my return. I placed a small glass dish on the substrate and used a feeding tube to add food to it. I did this because...

Entry #30 The pair of Pelvicachromis pulcher Ndonga rarely show themselves. I have never seen the female outside her cave. My new Pelvicachromis pulcher Ndonga male has kicked out several Anomalochromis thomasi from the left third of the tank. The a. thomasi thought they owned that space since...

My new Pelvicachromis pulcher Ndonga has kicked out several Anomalochromis thomasi from the left third of the tank. The a. thomasi thought they owned that space since they occupied it for a month before p pulcher was introduced. But now there is a new boss.

I was on the Petco website yesterday and it was not listed. Same for Petsmart and Amazon. Out of stock.

I prefer a puppy analogy. 😊

My wife and I spent a week in North Carolina with our grandchildren. Loads of fun…..mostly. I’m pooped from the week playing with an 2 and 5 year old, and also the 5.5 hour drive back to Maryland. As soon as I unpacked, I performed water exchanges in two of our five tanks and of course fed all...

Welcome. I have a 10 gallon with 5 wcmms going on two years. Hearty little guys. I do not use a heater and they live at the ambient temperature of my house. They live with a few celestial pearl danios

Sorry for your loss. You will have more fry very soon. Mollies are very prolific.

Amazon carried it but not anymore. Maybe it will return.

The product is not available at the moment in the USA. You can purchase it from the UK but shipping costs are ridiculous.

My well water has a stable nitrate concentration of 25 ppm. I use API Nitrozorb in my Aquaclear HOB for 2 days after each water change. It brings the tank nitrate levels down to around 5 ppm.

I think Tetra Safe Start works better than Prime.

Sounds like you are not cycled.

What is the nitrate concentration in your tap water?

I have 17 new emerald dwarf raspora in a well planted 10 gallon quarantine tank. I rarely see any of them. Houdini

I find if I don’t let my weight get above 350 lbs my sugar levels are normal and I can still partake in my favorite pastime - suma wrestling 😎

About 15 guppies.

Will you have any other fish with the guppies?

I mix aged cheddar with mozzarella for my pizza and lasagna topping.

Why not. Not even for a. thomasi and p. pulcher-Ndonga?

My wife’s 70th birthday arrives in a few weeks. She loves chocolate cake with a buttercream icing. I am looking for recipes. In addition to the cake I will be cooking dinner for her and six of her cousins. You only turn 70 once.

The bees steal the honey or the combs with the honey?

How does one hive rob the other hive?

The only food missing from my fishes’ diet are live foods. For a variety of reasons I can’t start my own cultures (ie. spouse objections). I finally found a lfs where I can buy live black worms. How do estimate how many worms to put into the tank? In my 20 gallon community tank I have seven 1/2...

This year I am getting three vaccines: one for flu, one for Covid, and one to protect me from toxic politicians.

What about tomorrow?

Maybe not in our lifetime but AI science is only in its infancy. Image in a century or a millennium or more.

How about when AI evolves to the point that it is considered sentient?

KH is determined by concentrations of bicarbonate and carbonate ions in water. KH is a measure of buffering capacity. The higher the KH the more stable the pH when tank conditions are threatened by factors that would unfavorably increase or decrease pH. KH is therefore a metric of pH homeostasis.
