love it! I have a singular giant rummy nose right now because all his friends died in a tank accident... however, it's grown very big and vibrant, and also quite active. I think he likes the guppies and rasbroas. Planning on getting 8 or 12 more.

Hello, I have this small weak pearl gourami female that is currently in my quarantine tank. Whenever I add her back to the main tank, she always gets nipped and then gets fin rot. I have found that everything from baby platies to full grown pearl gouramis nip her. I'm wondering if I can just...

almost reminds me of aCoho salmon fry. They are so beautiful and the white fin appendages can grow very long. This fish comes very close to that!

if it is cyanobacteria, personally I would pressure hose it off, since too much of it can be harmful to fish i think. also because it can make the tank smell bad if left to grow a lot

wonderful fish! for the breeding mop, i'm wondering if you need to wash the yarn in a specific way?

that looks interesting! now we just need a helpful edward scissor"fins"

Hi! I have this weak little gourami who always has trouble with fin rot, and recently I put it in a quarantine with some baby fish from outside that I recently moved in. It turns out she got worse because the little platy was bullying her. I took out the platy (rest of the fish are medaka and...

Hi, I'm wondering what are the best places in the tank for riccia to grow, and the fertiliser and light requirements?

where i live, its basically a desert so I use the changed-out fish water to water the dry bits of the lawn and garden. that way there is no water wasted

Hello all, I have a 15 gal that I would like to turn into a paludarium. it will mostly be for plants only, but in the future some crabs maybe. I want to make a sandy shore sloping up to a cliff like part where the plants grow. I'm wondering how to go about this and how to set up the walls on the...

they are actually quite elusive, they jump a lot! however there are thousands of them, so many tries.

It could also be shock to new environment or change my crypts which are sort of similar melt and lose a few leaves whenever I just do something small like mix the sand or put in a root tab. delicate plants, but kind of hardy when established

good idea. I propose to use a small measuring cup to "water" them into the terrarium. I will use it because mold grows in the terrarium whenever I add new leaves, and these helpful bugs can eat the mold. Thanks for the ideas, I will try all of these and update!

Hello everyone! I have this small box terrarium that has a lot of plants in it, and I would like a nice springtail population in there. It just so happens that in my large fish tank, there's a giant thriving colony of them among the floaters, and I'm wondering how to capture them and release...

Conguatulations!

ok but i suspect the reason is ive been feeding them less this past week so i will feed more with dewormer

yes they were from an lfs there were only 6 however and i got them all

this one looks a. little thin, not sure why

i see, it was a paleatus cory. let me get a photo of the other ones

i totally forgot this existed since it was so confusing to me... i feel that it is not complicated at all, and most times i just click "reply" anyway

they tend to be quite fast when looking for food. even a slow nerite can go a lot quicker than I thought they could ever go

thanks, i guess I will just keep up the weekly schedule, and look out for symptoms. it was a part of the group of biggest cories i've ever seen, around 3-4 inches.

Hi! recently I found a skeleton of a cory catfish in the tank, it seemed to have already died for around a few days... I did a water change. parameters were perfect and no signs of anything else in the tank, only thing was that some xiphophorus were flashing for a while, maybe because of that...

since you mentioned a month, perhaps there isnt enough minerals in the water for them to molt and then they failed molting, because they molt every few weeks but photos will definitely help

nice! I've raised cories almost 3 years now, and they are really goofy fish! because of the loss of guppy fry, I ended up rubber-binding 2 filter sponges to the filter powerhead intake. if I raise the fry with my sponge filter tank, will they be sucked in?

nice, do you have any tips for raising it? it seems to be blind

I just got my first albino cory! I have around 10 bronze cories and he is good friends with them.

yeah they are infertile but seem to lay many eggs I used to have this wonderful nerite snail who would lay eggs in beautiful patterns... mosaics and even spirals

those are wonderful fish! have they ever bred? that seems to be it, the one pictured seems to be a Male

could you take a video or maybe net it out and put it in a smaller container? it think its maybe loose bladder snail eggs

yep! theres this pile of lava rock in the center of my tank, and the cories only stay in the outside part with sand or the rocks covered with moss

okay i won't use anything. the only thing i used was egg shells so the aphids are iriitated and run away. so they will come by themselves when I provide a good home?

it is hard to wash them off individually but i will try and find some parasite beetles to help me out. thanks, that sounds like a good idea. ladybugs are rare but i think i will find one after enough looking how would i lure them in the first place though?

Hello! there are so many aphids plaguing my azolla, and I am wondering how to get rid of them.

ohh i see the problem why now. You added aquarium salt directly which will cause the fish to lose balance. it is best to add it to the new water going in the tank, so the fish isnt shocked

can confirm! he loves fish and also loves (eating) cats!
