i guess not, i do not even know what ribbing means.

yeah. thanks.

ok i will go in a rant (kinda) about it. The corydoras never caught my attention, they were always a fish that saw it and my reaction was "nah", so I discovered the otocinclus and fell in love, it was beautiful, fun and adorable so I decided to buy a group of otocinclus for my 10 gallon aquarium...

well i just do not like them, as i said i think they are boring and i have heard some people say that they are better than otocinclus so i think that made me hate them and also i find them just mundane, i am glad that you like them but i still do not like them and still think that they are ugly...

well that is how i feel so i do not know what you want me to say.

nah, otocinclus are better, whenever i think of a little cute armoured gregarious fish with whiskers i think about otocinclus, not corydoras i hate corydoras ugly dumb little bastards that steal the spotlight for otocinclus.

I hate corydoras, they have nothing good or interesting, they are mega overrated, they are ugly, boring, and dumb. I hate them I will never have corydoras.

90x40x30 cm is around 30 us gallons, 70x30x55 is around 31 us gallons

thank you for the info, i was having a hard time finding it.

Hi there nice people, i need your help today to decide on a biotope i have 3 biotopes in mind. 1. asian swamp in a 90x40x30 cm tank. dirted with a brown substrate, lots of wood and botanicals, dark water, some plants mainly stems, floaters and epiphytes, dim lights, little to no current...

hey there nice people!, today i want to geta care guide of trinectes maculatus (i want to know where they are from, what plants, substrate and parameters they need, what they eat, how many of them, and what other fish can live with them) i hav a 31 gallon, is that enough? in case of not being...

they can be but only with specific fish and only some bettas with a calm temperament

well that is true cory ctas need at the very least 6-10 of their own to feel happy, if there are less than 4 they will be super shy and stressed and with 5 they will be boring and shy but not stressed, the thing at least for me is that i hate cory cats, i am more part of otocinclus gang, for...

if with dwarf crayfish you mean cambarellus patzcuarensis then let me tell you that they need a higher Gh than bettas and ember tetras and with a maximum recomended Gh of 180 ppm for ember tetras and a minimum recomended Gh of 250 ppm for the crayfish then they would not be compatible, also...

oh my, i hope he returns soon i now have a need to talk to him.

seachem sells a dark flourite sand, at least where i live, t is quite expensive tho

forgive my indiscretion, but who is byron and what happened to him? I am also happy to know that someone no matter who they are is recovering from an accident or illness and I hope they do a full recovery. Sorry if this seems disrespectful, if so I will delete my comment.

yeah in the 2000 liters (530 gallon) i plan on buying or making i only intended to keep 1 bass and my turtle.

once i move to the country side i am going to build an almos lake and fill it ith all these fish to see how they look. I think it will look amazing

i just checked the law and i can only keep up to 5 wild fish of the same species and they have to be over 2kg in weight, this excludes invasive species so in theory with a big enough pond i could keep 5 largemouths, 5 green sunfish, 5 rio verde catfish, 5 gar, 5 of each of the predatory cichlids...

300 liters? i tought the 2000 liters was small! also thanks for the advice on live food

thanks. i will try to upload some pics once i catch one.

hi, i want a large mouth and i want to know if a 530 gallon tank with a 10x per hour filtration system is good enough. There are largemouths in my area so i know that my water parameters are good for them i also have a 55 gallon ready for breeding feeder fish, i am thinking a few species of...

yeah. From what we know in the lake originally the ecosystem had tiros (like the one I found), largemouth bass, green sunfish, butterfly mexcalpiques obviously, golden tiros, and in total 25 species of native fish of which most are in danger of extinction and some like the golden tiro are...

The lake where I found my Tiro is near the lake where the butterfly mexcalpique lives (presa de la vega). something like 10 km between lake and lake I was lucky to see them in the wild and let me tell you that they are big something like 6-10 cm. And their colors are beautiful, sadly they are in...

good, even tho they are native to my area i do not know how hard they are to care for r if they are agresive. Could you give me some info on their care?

hey there everyone. As some of you may know i live in mexico (it is important to this thread) thus i have access to most goodeids in their natural habitat and a few months ago i went to a local lake to get some water lettuce and water hyacinth for my turtle pond and today as i was doing...

yeah most of them are, here near where i live there are wild swordtails, platies and mollies, and they are better looking than their ugly all orange, white or black domestic counterparts. This wild ones are a grau base with neon blue and green, some red, blue, and yellow and they are quite...

well i only clean it once per month and i have no problems

oh my, i did not know that was the wild form, amazing to think that a wild betta has such vivid colors since most are brownish, white, black, redish or gray. Such a lovley fish And for the green-water refugium, do it, it is worth it 100%, fish with super small omnivoruus fry benefit from green...

just like whistling badger says domesticated bettas are the ones that look artificial, what i mean is that they do not look naural and do not fit in in a biotope, i mean they are gorgeous and i love them but they fit more in an "un natural" set-up rather than a biotope.

so true, you should only clean your filter once a month in aquiarium water from a water change, if you just toss it in to the trash you get rid of lots and lots of beneficial bacteria.

what i do and it was worked quite well is that in the media chamber i have a coarse sponge and some lava rocks as biological filter, as a mechanical filter i use polyfill just outside the intake tube (make sure the polyfill is not fire retardant since that will pollute your water), i do not use...

yeah it may be that. when algae rots it smell awfull so once you get rid of it it will smell eve worse for a few days.

It seems that my vote will go to what we had already discussed Parosphromenus deissneri, I feel that for what you said you have in mind is the best option, the betta seems very artificial and the samurai gourami does not have as much presence, so the liquorice gourami takes my vote. (And...

maybe it is rotten food. Check the top of your water for any oily looks and if you have an oily look you should add a protein skimmer and try and clean your substrate as good as possible. Other thing that could cause the smell is a dead fish so check your stocking and count it, maybe is an algae...

this is a river manifold. a few power heads, in the other side a bunch of large sponges al conected with some pvc pipes that go underground.
