They are tiny! This is the best picture I was able to get after I transferred them from the cave to the grow out tank.🤣

I used to have a pair of Albino BN, they bred true over and over and over again. The female unfortunately passed after getting her fat self stuck in some stone work about 6 months ago. I bought a pair of Blue eyed Lemons. Both were young and inexperienced, so I put the female with my Albino male...

I have a 50g acrylic, it has been up for 7 years now and I have not seen any yellowing or bowing. It is in a diamond/corner tank. I know they scratch easier, I am always careful when cleaning or doing anything with the tank. It is scratch free still and looks as good as the day I bought it. I...

I am not jealous...nope...not at all:look:

Too cute! If she came into the clinic I would be sorely tempted to say "Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezey!":fun: If it were my kids they would say "Easy Peasy Mac and Cheesy" But then again, they do not fall too far from the tree in terms of silliness.

I had 12 of them shipped to me overnight a few months ago. They came in smaller than expected but are growing great. I have never had them before but they seem a sturdy little fish. These guys are very gregarious and vigorous. After being acclimated they settled right in and ate well that night...

I wonder if the Betta would square off with it, or if he would be like "That is the weirdest looking fish I ever did see":rofl:

I am probably overthinking it but that is usually what happens whenever a seed of doubt is sown. Mister was like make sure the blue glass doesn't have something in it that could leach. Fair point, but it is not painted on so I would imagine whatever made the blue color would be trapped in the...

I have looked into this but never found anything definitive as yes or no. Would this glass ornament be safe in a tank. It is solid, the color is in the glass itself and the edges are round. It may be crystal? I know it is stupid but I like it and find humor in this thing. Would like to know...

Oh my goodness! They are gorgeous!

It is truly something special when your fish trust you and know you aren't just a strange hand of "god" entering their little world. My fish have been pets foremost, if/when they breed, I try to my best for the fry. Obviously, it is out of my hands beyond the tanks of the trusted LFS I sell...

Yes. I had a Red shoulder ages ago and had a hard time finding another(loads of greens and golds) This one is so lovely already I am just super excited of what it will look like in the coming months.

6 months old and colors are coming in beautifully. Can't wait until this one is fully matured.❤ Show me your favorite/most colorful/most proud of fish you keep. All are welcome!

Isn't that the truth. My maiden name was long and my married name is physically longer, even though they both have same amount of letters. Maiden name was all vertical letters so I could squish it in any where I had to sign it. Now my last name is all horizontal letters and it takes 3 miles of...

That is bad, oh man that advert is too much. I believe some do and some don't. Kids can be clever and terrible. It is hard to spare them ever being made fun of, if it is not their name it is a physical attribute. I am tall, very tall for a woman. I was called Stilts, string bean, Olive oil...

Oh for sure! It would be fun to find out what they are. When I was named Kristin, it wasn't that common but by school age I knew a ton of others. My boss' daughter is a Kristen, so whenever she spells my name it is spelled that way. I don't really care. My boys are young, we have a...

Midnight snack- Chicken nachos smothered in Pico de gallo and a dollop of Sour cream. I would share a pic but they are half gone already.:p

You sound like me with my 150 g. I put the siphon in, run the tubing out the window to the garden. My flowers love the fish poo! I just put something on Netflix and wait until I have to run the hose to put water back in. My other tanks are a bit more labor intensive but they are not as big.

That is cute. Who doesn't like chocolate? Bet he was just as sweet too!

Scales sticking out is never good. Is it possible to move him to his own tank for a bit or put him in a breeder. I would deworm him to make sure nothing else is eating his nutrition and see if you can fatten him up a bit by allowing him to get his fill without anyone else butting in . It could...

Convicts are straight brutes. You could keep a pair of dwarf Acara(Laetacara araguaiae)they are cute little guys with lovely personalities.

We name everything, but never name it Lucky, ever, it is like a curse that it will then become the most expensive animal you have ever owned. It is funny how some names seem to affect how animals are. Precious, Angel, cupcake, snuggles, lovey, any dog with names like that will bite your face off...

Aww, Iti cat. I am sure she still knows you and your voice. My husband laughs at me when I talk to Ginger, she is deaf, I know this but I can't help it. I have talked to her for 15 years. Gouda is blind with cataracts but he still can hunt me down by the sound of my voice, or the food bag...

Nice names! I love Zest, that is so cute. I have some oddball names at my house, some my kids named. The fish the kids named are Batman, Dozer, Beaker (Like the muppet, he is a parrot fish and it is perfect) Priscilla and Chonk. One of the cats is named Rogue Badger...and it suits him, he is...

My fair goldfish was bomb proof (you know the ones you win for besting a carney game). He was the ugliest little thing (Feeder goldfish?) but he survived YEARS with my mom looking after him while I was away at college.My mom only ever topped off the tank. I did maintanence when I got back home...

I have a pair of BN in one of my SA cichlid tank. The male is a very good dad and he slaps the crap out of any nosy neighbors( 6 to 10 inch fish) who come to try to eat his babies. Mine would breed every 5 weeks if they could, but I let dad hang with the fry in a grow out tank to keep them from...

If I had to guess it is a fungus. Which kind exactly that I can't say but fungal hyphae can look/collect in strange ways. Likely it is from the moldy food, even if it just began molding. I would hand clean all the visible white strands from all surfaces and then do a vacuum and at least 25%...

Someone had to go and ruin my streak, I'll have to post some more Lol. Cute! Love the little wigglers:wub:

I am a Vet tech by vocation. I talk to animals, all kinds of animals all day long during their care and treatment. I have heard some unique names along the way, and have many colorful "pet" names that I use at any given time. I would love to hear some of yours! When talking to an animal, but...

I love them. I have several but my favorite little buddy is named "Blue ray" and his best friend in a Geophagus steindachneri. "Blue Ray" is to the left, he and a few others got moved to a 120g to help stock it along with the Geo( Geo was acting a fool in another tank). They bonded and are so...

True but I think some benefit greatly from it, UV sterilizers are a great tool in our arsenal, especially when dealing with delicate fish or ones that are very sensitive to medications. "Batman"(my kids named him, he has a lair and hangs out in a cave and is black) is delicate in my opinion, I...

I have a UV sterilizer on my 150 g. It is not super fancy or top of the line but I like it (Got it from Chewy a few years ago). This tank houses my 16 " Black ghost. I might baby him a bit but I would hate for him to get anything since he is so sensitive to a lot of medications. I also have one...

I have a ridiculous amount of fish food of all sorts, but then again I have a ridiculous amount of tanks and fish. I do have the tiny tropical bug bites for my Emperor, Phantom and neon tetras, if the Killies like them, I am sure the tetras won't mind sharing :D. I am tall, this tank is going...

Awesome, thank you so much for your advice. I will see what I can do about getting a daphnia colony going, plus a back up supply just in case. These killies are pretty cute, so I don't think there will be much gruff given if I just keep them in their own dedicated tank.
