Near the socket end of the cord, label what the cord is connected to...something as simple as a piece of masking tape, folded over

Definitely not planaria, which actually can be detrimental in an aquarium, depending on the inhabitants https://fishlab.com/planaria/

Welcome to TFF Overfeeding is another issue that will cause a proliferation of detritus worms

Agree with the above, a sand substrate is a must for kuhli loaches. "Use a soft, sandy substrate since this species likes to dig and tends to spend some of its time completely buried. When coarser gravel is used it may become stressed or damage itself, and feeding behaviour can be inhibited."...

Chloramines: 3 ml of API per 15 USG = 1 ml per 5 USG; Prime = 1 ml per 10 USG My tap is treated with chloramines; I'll stick with Prime

BTW, I'll look forward to this caveat being added to your future recommendations for water conditioners.

Understood. And for the record, I have no vested interest in any business venture, public or private ;) I'll continue to use Seachem Prime throughout my fishkeeping years, with no issue, and no worry. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, Byron.

See additional API Tap Water conditioner directions, attached For tap water treated with chloramine, 5 ml of API to treat 30 USG, 3 ml of Prime to treat 30 USG

I'll trust your math on this, lol And, why waste time with a dropper when a medicinal syringe is so much quicker for the amounts needed during a decent sized WC? ;)

I dose water conditioner during water changes using a medicinal syringe, in increments of milliters...no idea how many drops comprise a ml Prime dosage 1 ml per 10 USG of tap water; API dosage 2 ml per 10 USG of tap water See attached

Prime is cheaper to use than API for me, since my water is treated with chloramine; with chloramine, you have to dose more quantity of the API than Prime. I have used Prime for the nearly 11 years I've been keeping fish; my fish thrive, as do my plants. I don't fix what ain't broke ;)

Congrats on the newbies, Rocky...they look good, already coloring up nicely Any time you introduce new fish, you should dim the lights on the tank and surrounding areas, and keep activity outside of the tank to a minimum, as much as possible...this will aid in the acclimation process, newly...

Welcome to TFF Cycling a tank usually will take more than 2 weeks, depending on the method you use...be sure to see here: https://www.fishforums.net/threads/cycling-your-new-fresh-water-tank-read-this-first.421488/

Welcome to TFF There's a big difference between surviving and thriving ;)

See "Fertilized vs. Infertilised Cory Catfish Eggs" here: https://keepingcatfish.com/cory-catfish-eggs/

Cory eggs, no doubt

The moss balls?...if so, no need to remove them https://keepingcatfish.com/breeding-cory-catfish/

Yep, cory eggs...

Corys in the tank? Looks like cory eggs to me...

Nice assortment, and array of colors and shapes...👍

Thank you for sharing the experience with your state wildlife agency..and very neat that they would like to see pics of it I haven't read back over the thread, are there other inhabitants of the tank, or just this single crayfish?* On second thought, forget flake food, a single sinking pellet...

I know little about cichlids, but glad to hear you've settled on a plan ;)

“It’s Just A Dog” by Richard A. Biby From time to time people tell me “relax, it’s just a dog” or “it’s a lot of money just for a dog.” They don’t understand the distance traveled, the time invested or the costs incurred by “just a dog.” Some of my proudest moments happened with “just a dog.”...

I would just hang on to the cray, and let it live out the rest of it's natural life in your tank ;)

Welcome to TFF Found this interesting: Crayfish are not native to Massachusetts, but they have been found in many of its waters. There are two species of crayfish, the rusty crayfish and the white river crayfish, which have been found in the state’s waters. They are an invasive species, meaning...
