Today I gave tiny live BSFL to my betta during lunch and at dinner, I used small live brine shrimp. I'm still waging war against cyanobacteria from my betta tank, also. Here in Brazil, Volkswagen operations here will turn its 70th birthday. The car was known here as "Fusca". Thanks to the...

Since yesterday there wasn't enough time, I didn't upload my Artemia franciscana culture photos. Now, it's time. Today I fed the betta with artemias, as I'll do tomorrow. What would be a reno company? A company for renovating homes? It seems cool to me.

Theoretically (because now I "only" have the internship), I'm on vacation from my undergraduate, although I continue doing things related (maybe is better to study English and for exams relating to being a public servant). I don't know if this occurs overall in American universities, but some of...

In some labs there are brushs like this below: Would be this brush good to remove cyanobacteria from my plants? Would be safe for aquarium water? Obviously, spinning this in the aquarium directly would stress the betta, then I would do this in a separate bucket.

Well, my term paper presentation went well. I got a 9/10 grade. The thesis is huge (58 pages), almost the same size as the MS thesis, at least here in Brazil. I really like to present and to appear to other people. Maybe is my vanity? They said that my thesis has the potential of being an...

This week I'll defend my thesis about my brine shrimp culture. Okay, let's go to the photos, once again. How I do my partial water changes... Still fighting against cyanobacteria

To remove the cyanobacteria from my plants (Ceratophyllum demersum, Elodea sp. and Salvinia minima), what could be done? Is there any brush for this? I usually take these plants to a separate bucket during my partial water change. On this bucket, also, I take the "old water" from each water...

My term paper about my brine shrimp is almost finished... soon I'll defend the thesis. I would love to record the presentation and try to put English subtitles, although I know that probably this will require some authorization. Where we live, most of the year is hot (above 25º C) but, during...

I feed my betta with Poytara Betta (Brazilian food that probably doesn't exist outside Brazil) four times a week, besides one-day fasting and during weekends I feed with live juvenile/adult brine shrimp and/or tiny BSFL (from my cultures). A few hours before feeding the shrimp for the betta, I...

When I'm trying to find bettas with shorter fins, I didn't find. I only found it when I already bought this betta... This is the first time I'm using a sponge filter since I always used hang-on filters with Sera Siporax Mini and some pads (the white "wool" that's used for filling patchwork).

For some reason, the hole on my betta's dorsal fin simply disappeared. Besides this, I reduced the photoperiod to 7 hours a day, also adding more plants (Ceratophyllum demersum, previously treated with potassium permanganate), as well as removing the cyanobacteria from rocks and the dry...

A few days ago, I detected a hole on my betta's dorsal fin. Today, however, I suppose that this hole disappeared. This seems so weird to me. Note: the date format is always dd/mm/yyyy. Also, I added several Ceratophyllum demersum, besides removing more detritus and cyanobacteria. Today I...

Today I edited my last Artemia franciscana photos (date format: dd/mm/yyyy):

How much do I feed my betta? Is possible to estimate, including for live food? Live food I give artemias and tiny BSFL.

My siphon is like this: I'm in fishkeeping since 2012 and this is the first time I got cyanobacteria in any tank. I don't see any sense in cleaning all to start another new tank, even more, since it took more than one month to cycle and here in Brazil there's not any good biological...

Today, during my Major internship, I taught practical classes involving brine shrimp that I culture... well, these creatures were remaining from my term paper during February - March/2023 and now they gave me descendants... Tomorrow I should teach the same class in another classroom. Also, I'm...

Today I recorded another video: The water became less turbid, also improving even the illumination (yes, I'm using a simple desk lighting yet... with an old fluorescent lamp):

I saw some cases where people killed cyanobacteria with azithromycin. It makes sense to use this or not? A few days ago, I also placed a curtain on the window door on that's side of the aquarium, then this should help with something. Today I made a partial water change and removed ... well...

What percent should I use for daily water changes? How could the cyanobacteria be eliminated? Should I change anything related to the feeding or not, such as giving more live food to maybe help with recovery? What are the food directions? Maybe I'm overfeeding him, also, with betta food and...

Then, today I perceived a small hole on my lovely betta's dorsal fin, as you can see below: This is the setup: • Size: 15.74" length x 11.81" height x 9.84" width, 7.29 gallons; • Substrate: 11.02 lbs gravel nº 0 (Aqua Pedras); • Heating: Roxin® HT-1300/Q3 50 W, adjusted to 26 ºC; •...
