    Starting to get VERY irritated at this site now...

    I've told you before, you seem like a nice kid, and your family must be proud. Kudos to you all. An obnoxious video ad is definitely a sign that your device has way too many tracking cookies and other stuff in it that needs to be cleaned out

    accidentally dropped aquarium lightning into my fish tank

    Everything you do, from mistakes to success stories, had probably already happened, and the more seasoned the hobbyist, the more they'll tell you it's been done before. This is what's great about this forum, there are people here with literally lifelong experience that put up with us newbies and...

    Is this fry fat, or does it have worms?

    About to do the weekly water change on all tanks. (3, the mts struggle is real) Here's a picture of hitchhiker #2, doing well. Haven't treated the tank for worms or anything, and he seems to be doing well. I'm going for a visit to the better of the chain stores next week, I'll get a dewormer and...

    accidentally dropped aquarium lightning into my fish tank

    Unless this happened, you and your fish will be alright. Do check to make sure to dry the assembly, put it out in the sun for a day or use a hair dryer or something similar and ensure you get it all nice and dry before you put it back.

    Starting to get VERY irritated at this site now...

    The issue is on your side of the equation @Rocky998 I use the forum both on a windows machine and on my android phone. 90% of the time on my phone, and i haven't seen a single ad, be it pop-ups, pop-unders or any other newfangled way that either google or shady advertisers come up with to...

    need computer help, phone took my emails

    What email service is it? The only reason why the emails are showing up on the phone is because somehow, knowingly or not; you signed/logged in on the phone.

    Starting to get VERY irritated at this site now...

    At the risk of sounding harsh, which I often come across as on and offline because I tell it like it is; this is a free forum and ads - I would assume - help with the upkeep. And solutions have been offered by many: change web browsers because using google chrome these days is the same as using...

    Toshiba made workhorses, I had a couple and loved them, but they shed the laptop business. Currently on a Lenovo yoga for personal use and some other model for work. Can't say I have complaints.

    Any potential tank mates for a 10g?

    Thanks for posting this, so after all they do "breathe" air, although different than the known labyrinth-equipped fish. I love cories, fascinating little creatures.

    Starting to get VERY irritated at this site now...

    🤮 Honestly. I use an android too. But it's as "de-googled" as it can be and for browser I have Firefox and brave. They're both consumer-oriented and brave is based on chromium so you'll be familiar right away, (I had previously wrote that Firefox is too, but that's incorrect) but by default...

    Any potential tank mates for a 10g?

    That's not playing. Your betta is protecting eggs, and the cory is doing what cories do. I don't know why - and I don't think anyone does with full certainty - but it's standard cory behavior to suddenly "come up for air " even though they're not anabantoids or anything like that

    LED lighting vs fluorescent lighting.

    I missed the bit about the humidity. On my 29g I went "open top" when I changed to these lights. I don't have "jumpers" in that tank so open top isn't an issue for me. And my snails never come out above the water line. I recently acquired a 15g tank that I decided to move a lone, deranged...

    LED lighting vs fluorescent lighting.

    Most, probably all; led lights these days don't use a heat sink anymore. Or it is integrated on the chassis itself, like mine, and they're so efficient that even at the brightest setting and most intensive time of day, the chassis gets barely warm to the touch. Individual led can be replaced if...

    Critter? (Solved!)

    I'm disappointed it's not baby tremors. And slap's video of these honestly don't look like the larvae on video. Slap's looks more like a fine, sharp tongue, like a lizard or even an anteater. At any rate, cool stuff, and I would still hold the "nuke it from orbit" card close to heart.

    Is this fry fat, or does it have worms?

    So, went by the shop today (had put the ottos in a freezer bag). Took water sample and guy tested for ammonia, nitrates and pH. Last time (when the first otto died) the other guy tested ammonia and nitrates. The pH was off the chart, literally. The guy still was kind enough to offer...

    If your pet won't have a drink with you now and then, is it your pet?

    Our parrot loves beer...

    Most animals will drink if given the chance. You'll observe the same effects as in humans. Loss of balance, irrational behavior, etc. Experiments have been done and plenty of people post videos where by accident (or by cruelty) their pets have had some alcohol and look just as dumb as we do when...

    Gourami laying down with spine bent

    That's a dwarf , isn't it? If so, this looks like iridovirus, aka dwarf gourami disease. There's no cure, unfortunately. Assuming all this, I'd say it's best for both of you to euthanize. But be sure to let us know if you have other fish there, your water parameters and confirm that your tank...

    a “quick” emotional vent

    Lol, for a forum that's mostly "progressive" it's funny to see the reaction to pot heads. Same exact thing happens here, the village idiots voted for legalization and to let shops open everywhere, then started campaigns and rage posting when the stores started opening near to their homes or...

    From the moment you posted a picture of yourself I immediately went for "rogue" from the x-men. Your sister's eyes are certainly unusual and pretty. Both of you are. What makes anyone special... whatever they have going on in their life and they keep pushing forward while making it look easy...

    LED lighting vs fluorescent lighting.

    Have you checked adjustable LED lights? I've got a hygger one and you can adjust the intensity of all 3 diodes (white, blue and red) independently of each other, and also time them as well for a fully automated process.

    Can I put assassin snails in a tank with nirate snails?

    3 might be pushing it. If it was one assassin, yeah. I've got one living alongside a nerite, and now 2 mystery ones. He can't tackle the big boys, but I've asked this question before myself and read about this, it seems assassins, in numbers, can and will somehow coordinate for a "hunt" for a...

    My betta won’t eat anything, Please help!

    Seems like you've got a tough fish there, it's been thru quite a bit. You mentioned that the tank is bare, you changed it and his stuff went out. Did you keep the filter or is that new too? Even if you kept the old filter the fact that all other surfaces are new might have reduced the...

    My betta won’t eat anything, Please help!

    Has there been any recent changes to the tank? Any new plant, decoration or anything else that wasn't there before? How long has he been eating only one pellet? Can you post a picture of the fish, and one of the entire tank?

    What should I do?

    Too many things going on here that influence the situation, but bottom line seems fairly simple: if you can't take care of them/don't want them anymore, then give them away to people who you know will take good care of them. If your parents want them, then they should be the ones in charge of...

    Is this fry fat, or does it have worms?

    Well, as of a few minutes ago all "new" ottos are gone. They looked ok this morning, came back home found both at the bottom of the tank. The smallest fry is gone too, can't see it anywhere. The older fry is still around and looks ok. I will put it in my main tank on Monday if it's still...

    Is this fry fat, or does it have worms?

    Thank you @Colin_T yes, water across my 3 tanks is 0 ammonia and nitrites, and nitrates between 5 and 10, depending on the tank. The pH is stable across all 3 as well in the 7 to 7.5 range. I've read about how horribly these are caught and treated, I won't be buying them anymore after this...
