Hello! I have this half-barrel around 26 gallons I just set up for some fish. - honey gourami *2 - medaka rice fish *6 - panda cory *6-10 It is just set up 2 days ago, and I added some plants from other ponds. DAY 2: I added a single plant(rotala?) from my other pond. DAY 2: I added some...

yep, for algae spread and free-floating algae something with more mature technology is definitely the way to go.

very interesting. Website seems to be legit and has it's own unique pictures, but it lacks any good evidence. They seem to have good intentions but functionality wise doesn't do much. I read some posts on other forums, and when put on an incorrect setting, it can actually crash your tank...

Yes, we have some pesticide experts in our household and I know bifenthrin can kill everything. I'm sorry about your accident, I hope you can recover., What do you mean put plants in a tray? I have water lilies in the ground, do you mean floaters? I feed all the aphids to fish every single...

alright， on my way to get a metal kiln right now! jokes aside, the ants only put aphids on leaves that are the same level water is on. i sprinlked egg shell powder on the rim of the pond so ants hopeflly won't crawl in, while I wait for diatom earth

Hello, there are hundreds of aphids on my pond lotus every single day, even though I manually get rid of them every day. It seems that the ants are carrying them there. how should i fix this problem? will ant pesticides work?

nice, any photos? keep an eye on the tank when adding new fish, because it could cause a mini cycle! I hope your new gourami is healthy! locally bred and not mass-bred fish will carry way less disaeses as well

I think some fish got caught in the duckweed, and ended up breeding. killifish breed very readily

i see! fresh bulbs are the way to go!

nice, where'd you get them?

Thanks, how do I obtain these? Is there a way I can culture them?

woah nice, were they wet bulbs or dry bulbs?

I agree with this. Viewing the bad content gives those bad creators money, and they will think they are doing great instead of thinking they need to fix something.

I love those lilies! are they from bulbs?

Boraras look like smaller harlequins (Boraras maculatus). but I'm really not a master at stocking, so I would consult someone else. I tend to understock a lot since I don't have a plan in mind when I start my tank :) If you are sure of non-inbred fish, go for it! I think colonies that are a few...

i see, I guess all the big-box stores are like that. but it definitely has more variety than a general pet store, right? In the end, i still will prefer to stick to local and small businesses with better and more passionate staff.

Yes, I am creating a tropical pond, and I have a tank indoors in case it rains. it gets around under 90 degrees (in scorching days) to around 70 (in cold days) in summer, under the shade of a tree. in fall and spring its all around 70. In winter it rains quite often and gets cold, so I can move...

I have many types of bottom feeder food so I am not worried about them starving, but I am wondering how I can increase the amount of crustaceans? do ghost shrimp work? I can't have access to any other live continuously culturing foods sadly.

Hello, I am setting up my pond build right now and im wondering if these guys need anything special to survive in the wilderness. Guppies and platies can survive because they eat the little flying gnats and i also feed them aphids sometimes. Is this sufficient for these fish? especially cories...

yeah, many other websites say 6-10, but anything under 10 acts similarly and anything over or equal to 10 acts completely different

Woah, that really is a hidden gem! website design and functionality are also very fast!

The images look very professional, way more professional than even some wholesalers. you guys are lucky to have such a large aquarium chain store!

Hello, I did some searching online, and it seems this company does shipping to Australia. FYI I'm not from australia but this seems like a reputable retailer. https://secondnatureaquariums.com.au/product/cryptocoryne-balansae-40cm-plant/ * a really large Crypt "We use the best Logistics...

it will most likely go away in a while. since your tank is "relatively new" there are still a lot of silicates in the substrate. when those are all used up, diatoms will be rare. at least that is my observation.

ok, I will just let it go up our fence then. we don't have any metal walls here either way

thanks for the info i see, I don't have enough containers to breed them. I think I better stay with just honey gouramis instead.

Hello! I finally completed my first pond project, the Wild Guppy Stream. I have one half-barrel left, and i want to make a paradise gourami scape. what other fish can I put in the pond along with the paradise gouramis? do you guys have any tips on raising them? how large of a group do I need...

I haven't had susswassertang before, but I know that moss grows alongside algae well... so make sure to pull out algae from moss every once in a while, and make sure to dose enough minerals and have enough biomass in there. I recommend some pest snails. they are clean, small, and have a little...

thanks. it reminded me of a large scrape I had from a biking accident

@emeraldking @Colin_T Thanks for the help last time, do you know anything about this time? thanks

Hello, i recently treated this swordtail who apparently had a scratch. Does this seem like a recovering scab? Or does it seem like an issue

seems to be diatoms or black beard algae. either way, use 2 fingers to try and rub the algae off. make sure to keep leaf in place while rubbing or it may rip. it's not a big problem because its easy to remove and doesnt cover the whole leaf

will it work with painted materials though? if not, I have some spare 2x4s that I can use.

Hello! I recently moved some juvenile epiprenmums outside, and they have grown slightly larger leaves with more variegation. I am wondering what is the best method to make them start to use aerial roots to climb. I will post pictures tomorrow. currently they are on bamboo poles 1. will they...

or they are just outside in the beautiful california sun✨

nice, thats a chunky neon! Do you plan to get more? I think neil would get along well with my lonely rummynose! (I had 10 originally but they died in a horrible accident) I found that aquatic plants help with algae. Fast invasive plants such as all floaters and vallisneria outcompete the algae.
