At least he passed in a loving home.

what happened to this thread? if people are dying because the virus aggravates the things that do kill them, isn't that technically killing them?

Me and some of my friends played video games and watched Hereditary together. @mbsqw1d, I see even master aquascapers are affected by time. Happy early birthday :)!

Yea, I think if someone you have a conversation with is using the chat thing it shows a number (depending on the number of people who are using it at the time.)

Hi! I see some issues unfortunately. Do you know the general hardness of your water (look up your cities water parameters)? You have a mix of fish that require different kinds of water. Also the tank you will be getting is too small for mollies, and with that many guppies, it will fill up fast...

:thumbs:

I research plants that do well in my water and only purchase those. CO2 isn't technically "needed" for most plants. Turn your light down a little (most store LED are extremely bright) you can get a dampener, dose half fertilizers and get plants that originate in places with the same hardness and...

You got it Byron, go at your own speed.

Can you post a picture of the inside of the filter?

I just got a bunch of stuff originally for canister filters and cut it down to the size of my hob filter. I also have a carbon cartridge, but I've left it running so long the carbon isn't doing anything, just providing some space for nitrifying bacteria.

We need your GH before we can recommend things, but a big group of halfbeaks would be super cool, or a ton of ricefish. Some variety of gobies are pretty cool as well.

Yea don't worry about it then. Cool things, but can be misleading lol.

Haha. Just saw this thread. If I'm not mistaken the white rock is actually a plastic one from petsmart. Did you get those rocks at petsmart @Mc12?

That's really cool. Doesn't pothos have intense filtration capabilities? Also, you know how legumes have little nodules where they grow nitrifying bacteria? It'd be cool if someone could figure out a way to get that going in some sort of filter media.

I'd say cold. Similar to a tropical rain. However that is a really big fluctuation, is there any way you could get someone to adjust the tap temp.?

My parents were like 10 lol. Congrats on the 43rd :).

Are those rainbows? Nice plants :).

Most nitrifying bacteria in our tanks lives in the filter, specifically in the filter media. You can do the switch whenever you would like. When I did it, I took out several rocks, and was fine. If the tank is going to get new plants and it has the same filter, there is almost no chance of a...

Yea, could be she just doesn't want to breed right now. It'll be fine if it stays as is, but if it gets worse you should look at rehoming.

I'd say it's harder. A lot of special requirements, and not many fish can live with it. Is this your first tank?

Hillstream loaches need super high flow, and plenty of bio-film to much on. Not a rainbow shark habitat at all :).

I'd have a wall aquarium. Huge blackwater discus tank.

Same species? What size is the tank?

Yes sir. Looks like the fish has wasting disease. If you can get your hands on some API General Cure, that'll clear it tp. Make sure there is no carbon in the tank.

Yea they are usually wild caught. I have a brine shrimp kit for my tetras though, so it'd be fine.

That sounds like a parasite. Treating it is the only way to save the fish. I need a picture to tell for sure.

https://www.masterfisch.eu/en/ Idk lol sorry :/

No, the deissneri

Oh. The only place that sells them does intervals of three. 1, 3, 6, 9 etc. Which do you recommend?

Alright. I'll have a looksie to see if I can get a pair when this tank is set up. Thanks :). Where have you been? We've missed you :).

Wait one last thing. If I were to get a pair of deissneri what should I do with any fry they produce? I could give them to my LFS or raise them for a bit and send them somewhere. I'm more of a gourami guy myself, so I'll probably get a pair of them.

Oh. Ok :). Thanks crispii!

So for the samurai gourami, you'd say that a group of 4 or 5 is suitable without the rasboras right?

1. Oh. I heard you needed a 20 g for a group of 6. I'd drop the rasboras for these easily. 2. I read on seriously fish that the rasbora were good tank mates for these guys, but I'd happily do a species only. 3. Yep I was just going to get a solo betta.

Yea, it's basically a chocolate gourami from a different neck of the woods (stream?). You've got banded chocolate gourami and this one, which is commonly known as samurai gourami.

Sad what people will do to prove that they can be the biggest fish in the pond. Egos and greed are surely the catalysts of humanities suffering.

Such a cool fish :). I'll admit I'm in love with these guys haha. Saw them when I was going to keep platies with angelfish in a 29 ( :rofl:) and knew I would have to keep them someday

That is a stunning cichlid.
