Did a water change today with the gravel vac after I noticed one of the cardinals are not doing very good and the other had excess mucous on their body.

Today's Sunday. Will feed the tetras now. The art supplies are waiting to be arrived to my home in the next couple of days.

Hi @GaryE, how's your day been? I wanted to say thanks for your contribution on this thread.

Ordered some art supplies on Amazon and fed the tetras again. I'm starting to like art as equally as my fishkeeping hobby. Art has seen a resurgence.

It's the afternoon and I've completed a graphite drawing of a betta. I will post 6 traditional drawings of fish once they're completed.

It's Saturday and it's the weekend. Will feed the tetras now and will do some art on fish.

The tetras have been fed again, walked the dog and going to bed now. Good night.

It may take a long while for the family circumstances to end and after it ends, I will have a bigger fish tank for my cardinal tetras.

Returned home from school. I will feed the tetras later on.

Today's Friday. I will feed the tetras now and will go to school at 7:45am. School starts at 8:30am. I will keep an eye on the thread and keep you guys company.

Fed the tetras and walked the bigger red labradoodle tonight. Having some dinner then rest up for tomorrow.

Hi! Cherry shrimp are said to be illegal in my state due to them being non-native shrimp. Only chameleon shrimp and other native shrimp can be sold in fish stores.

School was okay today, better than last time. Due to some circumstances I am a very busy young girl so I will spend less time on the forum. School is as important as my fish. Maybe, only on free time.

@Fishmanic I don't have a phone, only my laptop. I don't like phones because although convenient, I don't like the look of them. I only use my school laptop.

@Colin_T I'm having a much better school day than last time. School finishes at 3:20pm.

It's Thursday, the first day of February. Second day back at school. Fed the tetras before I went to school. Hopefully I'll have a better day than last time.

I learnt a bit of Filipino in the social group. :) He's from Australia, but went to the Philippines to do his studies.

Fed the tetras for the second time before I went to the social group earlier. The tetras are resting now, I will see them tomorrow.

Sorry for the late reply. It was okay. Went to a social group afterwards, met a man who speaks Filipino named July there. He's a nice man who is interested in fish too.

Apparently a cockroach accidentally drowned in the tetras' 41L tank. I don't know how it got in here, but it is most likely that it accidentally fell in the water after climbing up the exterior of the tank. I got it out immediately from the tank using a net and put the dead roach in the bin. I...

Today's Wednesday, my first day back at school. I will feed the tetras now. I am very busy on this day.

School's tomorrow, so I will be very busy. The tetras are resting now. Good night everyone.

The comfort and wellbeing of my fish. It is very important. I understand on what you're asking to me.

Ah! I get it now. Juice is right, however I like cube tanks because they usually are easier to carry when empty.

Oh, I see. I was thinking of a 40cm (64L) cube but you're right about it... I thought Seriously Fish gives us the tank size in litres.

Priced out the remaining stuff I need for the Orinoco 45cm cube project. Coontail cost $1 per 30cm and dwarf sagittaria $7.50. The project is ready to go once I calculated everything.

The 'Somewhere' ad? The ad I mentioned is 'Be their hero' ad.

I just watched a YouTube ad about a cute piglet and a man. The piglet, named Tottie, and the man became friends after finding her on the side of the road and the piglet goes in the car in a small box. They do all their antics until the near end of the ad, where the man arrives at a pork company...

That's incredible that your fish knew you. Another question: At the LFS I regularly go to, the gold barbs on one of the tanks mistakes me as the food guy and they follow me in the tank. I am not the food guy or don't work at the store but the fish really wanted me to feed them. Do fish mistake...

The forum has been helpful to me as always. The tetras are doing okay currently. A question for @Colin_T: How did your fish respond to you when you feed them, compared to other people? Fish intelligence must be understood more. And how many species of freshwater fish you kept?

Ah! Yes, I will do that. I used to do woodwork at school before Year 11. Woodwork was hard though.

And @Fishmanic, let me tell you a story behind my love of flagfish. I first saw flagfish in a pond shop in Cockburn (coh-burn), Australia. The males were displaying their colours in an empty tank on top of other tanks. They cost $9 in the pond shop, but I wish I got some and prepped the tank for...

Hmm, this is a good point. The flagfish can do well in the 20 gallon rectangular tank.

Yes. I agree with you. I sent you a PM message on how to setup your flagfish tank. :) 54 litres is the minimum according to Seriously Fish.

Waiting patiently for the tank project to begin. I can try owning North American native fish, but the flagfish is the only North American fish commonly available in LFS's in Australia.

About American flagfish, is it okay to keep a pair of them in a 40cm cube (64L) tank? I am new to American flagfish, and I never kept them before. There are no plants native to Florida in Perth LFS's. So I have no choice but to put plants from different areas of the world.

Today's Tuesday, the final day of school holidays. Fed the tetras now. I am not a woodwork person, but I have built some stuff during school a few years ago. I was thinking of getting an Exo Terra stand for the 45cm cube tank, but I realised that they are either made of particle board or MDF. I...

I haven't kept birds before, but it will happen in the future when I move out from my childhood home. I was asking questions about aviaries from a person who about to own aviaries point of view.

What are some builders that build double tier cube aquarium racks?

Good idea.
