Galaxy Quest! 😂

Just a little update on hubbys tank. We took on board what you guys said about corys living in a group so we added a few more in last weekend. Despite them being different species of Cory, they all group together which is nice to see. We’ve talked about eventually transferring them to the 30g...

Who run the world? Girls - Girls! 🎵🎶

So you got the job at the fish store then! Nice one. And panda corys are soooo cute, we have one in our tank which hangs around with the sterbais and the false Julie’s, it was all alone so we brought him home and he thankfully integrated with the pack lol But yes, plants first and then...

Looks bigger than a 10g! That’s fair though. I was gonna ask if you’d have any other fish or just tetras lol

Your tanks are looking great @JackGulley ! The second one is coming along nicely, any livestock in it yet?

Welcome to TFF :hi: Your tank looks great! Have you kept fish before? I agree with @MattW neon tetras are a schooling fish and they prefer to be kept in groups of about 10 or more. How big is the tank? What litre/gallon?

It’s the same laundry demon that eats your socks. It turns your underwear inside out because that makes it easier to ingest the nutrients when it’s chewing your briefs.. it’s not going to turn them back to the normal way for you because it’s a demon, and demons aren’t helpful like that. It turns...

Surely not? It’s the same solution 🤔 same bottle, same liquid, same test tube. Just different tank water 😅

Thanks @Essjay i appreciate your guidance. Hopefully it won’t come to this but I will buy some clove oil just in case 🤞🏻

:flushem:

Is clove oil toxic for fish? Obviously I would need to separate her first in a QT tank or something and just add the oil to the water?

@MaloK The 30g (with the big Kh) has been established since January of this year. The 10g (with the low Kh) has been established for about a month, if that. Both tanks have live plants in them if that makes a difference at all. *edit to add* Water changes are carried out once a week in both...

Well, I’ve just tested the tap water, and the Kh is 15! What do I do with that? 😅 more tap water conditioner? And this now brings me to another question.. how come the Kh in the 10g is 3?? 🤔

Thanks Colin. How would you suggest euthanising her if that’s what it eventually comes down to? I don’t think I’d have the heart to bash her or cut her 🙁

All this chatter about PH swings in other members tanks has me a little concerned for my own.. I’ve been using strip tests since I got the tank in January and everything had always been fairly normal with no worries. I recently bought a liquid test kit as on here everyone recommends them for...

Yeah it looks as though the light is blocked by the substrate so that’s good. Are the frogs settling in ok?

I have a new found love for corys. Since hubby got them in his tank I can’t stop watching them. They’re so active, and playful, they love to play in the bubbles from the air stone. They’re such great little characters and will follow each other around in their little group. The catfish in my...

I love the purple underlighting!

Getting there! Looks great so far 👍🏻

Ok thanks Gary. I’ll just continue keeping my eye on her 👍🏻

We’ve had our barbs for about 6 months, and this little girl has always had a bit of a pop belly. But recently, probably over the last couple of months her belly has got bigger and her spine looks a little bent, and to swim she kind of flicks herself about rather than gracefully gliding through...

Hatchet fish are so weird 😂

I was up early today - for a Saturday! Was out the door by 8.45am to go and get my hair cut. Just a trim nothing extravagant! After that I went and treated myself to some much needed retail therapy - it’s been a tough week for me personally. So I went and purchased some clothes for holiday and...

My bucket is black in colour so I literally can’t see anything in there. I could be tipping away a whole colony of molly fry and not even realise 😅

Come to think of it, I’ve never seen my Betta poo either 🤔 maybe they do it in private lol

:hi:

Makes sense! 😂👍🏻

Hello and welcome :hi:

Well done! Congrats! :clap:

Same! I couldn’t really offer any expertise in your disaster but I was following your post with heart-felt sympathy and I am sincerely sorry for your loss.. I’m glad to hear you are sticking with the hobby. Smaller tanks are fun to keep and I agree with @Fishfunn the water changes are a lot...

Lovely tank 😍

I do water changes once a week, roughly 20-25% in both tanks. I do a strip test before every water change to make sure there aren’t any abnormal spikes as they are nice and quick, but I have a liquid test also which i have recently purchased for more accurate testing. I haven’t used it yet. As...

I’d say stick with the corys, but that’s me, I have such a soft spot for them, and the sterbais are sooo pretty 🥰 But ultimately it’s up to you - if you want to try something new then give it a shot. What’s your heart telling you? 🙂

Do your fish actually pose for the camera? I can never get a pic that good! 😍😂

Hi and welcome back :hi: Your tanks are beautiful 😍 especially that 75g!

Awh. The last one might be grateful of the new friends and larger tank to explore 👍🏻

Is there anything else in the tank? I find frequent water changes and filter cleaning helps clear cloudy water.
