I think I hear harps in the background.

Today we hauled dead wood to the stream bed to make dead fall. Tomorrow I will buy a pick up load of soil after my pre-op ekg to fill in areas of the dead fall for planting.

10 gallon refurbished tank. Found at flea market in March complete with metal wire stand. LEAKED when tested and had calcium scale. Stripped sealer and descaled with muriatic acid then sealed with Aquino sealant. Was done an a fun experiment and learning process. White colored gravel with a...

I have decided my Plecos have Marlon genes.That is in Brando. Like him they make very rare public appearances, but when they do it is entertaining.

Post away. You are a FANatic and that is a fun thing. My interest in baseball waned when they went to nearly exclusive night games. I do get MLB channel so I can watch the occasional non Mets oh Yankee gamers which I avoid. I am a Dodger fan dating from the Brooklyn days but can not get excited...

I have heard of people raising fry outdoors in totes or other suitable containers. Because ny honey is for the time being obsessed with live bearers and their fry I am wondering if outdoors is suitable for this purpose. I can take steps to avoid predation but am concerned about temperatures...

Pond work is basically complete. I do need to dress the margins of the extended bog and the stream bed but that is mostly Linda work except for the rocks. We will minimize the rocks due to the fact I am running out of them in reasonably simple places to get them on the property, so we have...

My wounds will be fine. My ego is quite another thing. A bit sore but the swelling has gone down thanks to gel packs. My own fault. I was hot, tired and in a hurry, a bad formula old people balance. The pain is worth the completion of flow adjustment to the bog extension and stream bed. Will...

Today I am injured. When making some adjustments to the rock dam I slipped into the smaller pond. I caught myself and I stepped out of the puddle congratulating myself on being so nimble thinking I had caught myself without any bumps or scrapes. Well as I climbed out another submerged rock...

No, He swims and acts normally.

The small black and orange fish in the photo is a juvinile female sword about 6 wk old. I am certain of it because we witnessed the birth and kept and another one. No Platty in our tanks. The salt is apparently working as the spot in question is greatly diminished today. No mucus upon very...

What disturbs me about this potential fish pandemic is our maintenance is intensive. I can find no logical reason for the issue to appear. It is not like we have a gain of fungal infection lab in our closet. I am very interested in finding the causation because the infection is a symptom that...

Poor choice of words. I was being cute. I did not remove the fish from the tank. I removed 7 gallons of water from the tank and Linda turned it into a salt solution using the formula based on your instructions. The salt solution was strong enough for the entire tank and was added slowly over a...

Stunning

Super Frog rises lo the top;)

We decided to follow Colin T’s advice and instructions and are starting the salt bath as soon as Linda returns with proper salt.

Seriously I really like Plecos. Those are beauties.

Thank Collin. Appreciated!

Bog extention was completed yesterday. The addition makes the Bog perhaps 50% larger. I am not going to line it and with rubber and instead use compressed Peat Moss for the bottom. My neighbor has a pile of sandy loam that I will mix with clay for the bottom. I did make some small adjustment to...

Thank You for the suggestion, Collin T. I have a BN Pleco in this tank I think I read somewhere salt is not advised. I may remember wrong as I have read somuch information my memory is sometimes a jumble, or is that jungle. At any rate, this morning the white spot seems to be reduced, maybe my...

If fungal is Pimafix an answer. Or something else.

Hopefully a little clearer.

I will try for a better photo. He refuses to pose so far.

I also note he is swimming and eating normally. Acting his normal self.

Hardness 244 and temp is 75F. He is an original so Feb this year. He and the male gold lyretail do get rambunctious at times. The gold is a bit larger and used to back off but no longer does. It is not constant action but it does occur. Up close it gelonous. Not spelled right but you get the idea.

Picture follows. This white spot, looks like a bubble, appeared overnight, it was not present when we put the fish to bed last night. No other fish are afflicted at this time. 37 gallon tank WC 30 percent each four days Am 0 —- No 0 —— Na 10 —- PH 244 —- KH 120 —- PH 7.5 —- water temp 75F

Back to the pond. The bog extension was dug this morning. I really had the old banjo singing a tune. The new section is a bit lower than the existing bog and I will need to make some adjustments so the original does not drain to fast. I am using rocks and peat to do that and also increasing the...
