Thank you for your insight! I have several floating plant species as well as other rhizome and mosses I will pull from to plant this tank. I also have plenty of frozen foods that my other fish get. I will nix the rock and stick with a couple nice pieces of drift. Can I establish a population of...

Hello! I am looking for any and all advise, experience, ect with this particular species, or killifish sp. in general. I am toying with the idea of setting up a 20 gallon with these little fish, however I have not kept these little guys before. Advise on how to keep them happy, how many to keep...

My olfactories are currently being assaulted by the noxious methane output of my 12 year old Doberman. He has no sense in his head to know spring forage is not allowed when he is on a strict diet to control his EPI. He farts, gets up and walks away. He is literally carpet bombing us. There is so...

I love the blue velvet, they are one of my favorite color morphs. I keep several colors of neocaridina in a 55 g that also hosts Bristlenose fry when I have them. The shrimp breed like rabbits. I sell overflow to a LFS, same with my BN fry. That is one option. Otherwise, you can take that...

I can only imagine😬 Sponge bob needs to stick to flippin' crabby patties.

Not dissing safe start, it is great if you have an "oops, I accidentally broke my cycle." My tanks usually take 2-3 months to cycle when brand new. Even "seeded" aquariums take a few weeks to stabilize.

My ancient, hand me down hospital tank sprung a leak. Had to got to a Big box LFS to get a replacement asap. Well...found a reasonable 45g on sale. I was keeping track of my 3 minions (all of whom wanted desperately to look at all the animals in the store)so I missed this gem....this was on the...

Again, I can only say what I was told. They were sold as Julii. Thanks for letting me know. Well, that sucks, at least they seem to be thriving. Probably got overcharged for something that wasn't 🤣. The sterbai cats came from a different supplier than the others, I specifically sought them out...

Yeah, didn't see the julii head down when I posted the pic. The "salt&pepper" was sold as such when I bought it and 4 others so I was just going with it. My bad.

There are "regular" s&p cories. The one in the front is one of the S&P. The one in the back is a sterbai Cory. I will have had them all for a year in April, they are all about 2-3 inches now. I think the pygmies are totally cute though.

These are some of my favorite digital pieces. I love nature and fantasy. The CKCS is my coworkers, JT, hims such a cute Boi. The Maltese is my husband's aunt's pupper who has passed. I need to get back into it but it is hard with 3 kiddos. Alot of it is older, if interested you can find more on...

My mom had someone carve some fish, she had me paint them for her last summer when we came up for a visit. The blue came together easy, the yellow and orange fish was painted over twice cause it didn't cooperate. Also painted some of the weird fungus that grows on trees, these were for her fairy...

Are you certain that your heater is functioning correctly? I had a freak accident several years ago with a large tank with large fish. At the time I was running a pair of Fluval glass heaters. Well, the large parrot fish in that tank freaked for whatever reason and banged about the tank...

As far as floating plants are concerned, they like as little surface movement as possible. too much movement will cause the plants to melt, what might look like a leisurely spin about the tank is way too much for many floating plants. Duckweed, well, duckweed is like "Underwater, Don't care! In...

I have duckweed in multiple tanks as well as several species of floaters. When Duckweed got into my 150g I left it, it grew and covered the entire top in a week. I just took my big net and scooped 97% out, it would grow again and I did the same. Well, the Severum loved it and they ate what I...

Suction cups are worth pulling hair out, they either do not want to stay put as they are weak, or they lose function after being removed and applied a few times. Why is every ornament "made" for aquariums a death trap for fish. The people who design them literally have no idea that inevitably...

This was really cool seeing everything come together. I wish I was more organized. I feel my planted tanks never look as nice as many others I have seen. Mine are a bit chaotic while these look so zen and neat. Iti is so cute. I have a little ginger tabby cat named Ginger (I know, totally...

Man, I should not have come here, now I am hungry! :D Usually make drop biscuits because they are so quick and you can add different things to them depending on what you are having them with. We like them with gravy,of course, but any time we make soup, the kiddos especially enjoy dunking them...

My Sevs allow me to pet them, they pop right up to the top like "Hey mom, give us some love, we see you pet the dogs all day, so our turn." All the fish, regardless which tank, have taken a liking to nibbling on my arm when I am in the tanks doing maintenance. I have a fair amount of freckles...

OMG! It is an angry pickle! If my fish came at me when hand fed displaying such exuberance, I might wee myself:lol:

My Red shoulder sev, my Lemon BN pair, countless shrimp, Dwarf Acaras, Emperor tetras, and tapajos Geos all came from Aquaticarts.com. They are awesome. The fish come shipped overnight with a hot or cool pack depending on the weather. Mine have sat out on the porch for a few hours in fair...

My Angels love frogbit, red root and salvinia. All are floaters and fairly undemanding (red roots being the "difficult" of the three as they love high light and lots of iron to keep them red, but they get tiny white flowers which are cute.) Frogbit is awesome as the roots can extend down towards...

Baymax(Big hero 6) I know kind of corny but his personality seems to fit with the character.

I don't know who would last longest. I mean the hobby is fluid and evolving, in of itself. I think those with a passion for it last the longest. It has been 23 years for me and I have kept a many, many different kinds of fish over the years. I truly enjoy SA cichlids and oddballs out of all...

The effects should be the same, as it is derived from the same plant. There may be a difference in strength. A lot of plants have more of certain compounds in different parts of them( buds,leaves, seeds, roots, ect.) So I would dose to effect as I do not know which oil would be stronger in this...

Aquaticarts.com Have them in stock currently. I love this online store, they are super helpful, very kind and always have the safety of their live stock (Fish, snails, plants) in mind. I have gotten several shipments from them, they are always healthy and gorgeous. They have a Store in Indiana...

I have a heavily planted (I mean heavily, removing overgrowth on a weekly basis) grow out tank. It is 55 gallons, it is home to shrimp and snails on the daily and a nursery to albino BN fry when my pair get busy. It is the only tank I do not do much with. I top off, very minimal vacuuming with a...

You can always try a bit of Maracyn and see if that clears it up. It should whether bacterial or fungal.

This beautiful jerkface. I had to buy a new setup for him because he is a terror on fins. I have a love/hate relationship with this turd. He does love the blue acara and is better with his new roomies. Old roomies were not sad to see him leave🤣
