    Duckweed soup for Bamboo shrimp

    I too am curious about the results. I know people feed duckweed to their ducks and chickens, i assume maybe swans and wild ducks would love it? They never appreciate the frozen peas or other greenery i bring them. Tbh i have no idea what my bamboo shrimp eats. I have two shrimp for over two...

    What to feed nematodes (microworms) to raise their own feeding value

    I just read an article about feeding grindal affects the quality of the grindal that you feed to your fish. I do not want to start a grindal culture, I dont think I am there yet, but the question comes, how to increase the quality of my own micro worms/walter worms cultures. I usually feed them...

    Stocking Ideas and Aquascape Ideas for 10-Gallon Long Tank

    Overall info lately is: 1. bettas cant be with anything, while you will read hundreds of stories of peaceful bettas in community settings, you will read thousands more of bettas eating snail antenae, hunting shrimp, killing fish. Plus bettas are voracious eaters, and stone catfish is a shy...

    How many in a group of male only guppies? In a community tank setting.

    Well for me this is for now a theory I am testing by a practical example. I have a 360 liters and four bolivian rams and two pearl gouramis (two weeks in). My tank is 60 cm high and for now, both gouramis are hanging on the top, very very top, sometimes in the middle for few moments but not...

    Sparkling gourami in 10 gal

    Or if you were willing to redo the substrate, maybe get rid of the wood or adjust it to thinner branches and do a massive leaf litter, you could do a trio of hara jerdoni along with the chilli rasboras. You would have to feed live microworms/bbs/frozen small food and keep an eye on water...

    Sparkling gourami in 10 gal

    With the hardscape you have, you are looking at barely 25liters. All shoaling fish that do best in groups of 10+, ideally 15+, do best in longer tanks, even shallow ones, cubes are useless. So you should not keep anything that likes to have super large numbers (like CPD, everyone who has kept...

    Sparkling gourami in 10 gal

    Sometimes, small tanks are only good for one of two things, and that is a single betta, or a group of micro rasboras. I would say only one of the microrasboras species is suited for a small tank with low footprint, as most other fish simply need a larger footprint. You may have some luck with...

    Clown killifish tank

    Frankly no idea. I have a lid and basically full surface of plants, so I have never observed any jumping, but they are alone in the tank, noone is chasing them except each other, and that happens under water. I doubt they would do well with any fish if you intend to breed, they are also slow...

    Clown killifish tank

    I saw two, roughly the same size so I think it is safe to assume they are from the same batch, no idea if there are more. I assume they are about two months old Does anyone know at which point do these juveniles stop eating newly hatched fry and leave them alone? Just so I have an idea The...

    How many in a group of male only guppies? In a community tank setting.

    I would vote for a trio of honey gourami (the dwarf one are just too unpredictable), keeping the rasboras in a decent sized group as you have and only adding something to the bottom. If you go gourami, you cant go cichlid. Bolivian rams while peaceful still can be unpredictable and with the size...

    How many in a group of male only guppies? In a community tank setting.

    I would be a bit worried about putting just male guppies since without females, they will harass any other fish you have there ( like the rasboras) and it may annoy them to no end. Some of the rasboras are nippy if annoyed, which wont go well with the tails. What fish are you looking for, is it...

    Which gourami to pick

    After quarantine my pearl gouramis are in the tank. I still hope the other one is a female, not a concealed male, and they are for now working very nicely in the tank. Always in contact, always around each other. Hope it stays that way

    Shrimp, Snails, Catfish…

    In my case I guess I feed too much or produce too much algae for them (on purpose) but I have tank full of algae, especially on the glass, I have several panda garra and not that much of a difference on the algae levels :)) I even need to scrub the glass myself ! They are lovely fish, but I...

    Pygmy corydoras stocking

    I have pool filtration sand, but a sponge filter with a mild flow, so not sure how the substrate will look. The tank was mostly empty or fry so I didnt bother too much with gravel vac, and maybe I wont have to going forward, but I need to adjust the feeding and see the debris stuck in the plants...

    Pygmy corydoras stocking

    Thank you, and the rest too, this helps me put it into perspective. I do hope they will breed in a species only tank, so it makes sense not to overdo it on the numbers right away. I read they reach maturity around year one or so, given they are not a short lived fish, so I have plenty of time...
