I've had grass grow into my pond and transition to emersed growth and duckweed grow up out of my pond and transition to grow terrestrially.

Within Canada probably Meres Island, but Drumheller as a kid I remember the hoodoos and fossil parks were really cool. Meres Island has bioluminescent plankton in the waters, so the waves glow blue as they roll in. Such an incredible phenomenon to witness. Outside of Canada would be Greece...

At that age, I've successfully grown them out in a fish store setting with yasuhikotakia modesta, dawkinsia filamentosa, and trichopodus pectoralis.

I just assumed you were keeping the labeo in the 8 foot already. Mine grew pretty fast, not like a red tail catfish or arapima, but still respectably quick. They're like a super sized Epalzeorhynchos bicolor on average, with individuals ranging from semiaggressive and being intimidated by other...

I'd steer away from mixing a labeo chrysophekadion with more gentle fish like your elephant and butterfly. Intimidation alone will probably be an issue with size differences.

I don't think I've ever heard someone say bro is offensive, I'd love if you could elaborate. I live in a pretty diverse city and haven't come across this before. My social circle has Nicaraguanse, Iranian, Indian, Filipino, Fijian, white, Chinese, and other mixes. Not looking to fight, just...

Bad knee so I don't jog, I have a gym membership but it's been closed most of covid. While it reopened, the hours didn't align with work schedule.

Good suggestion, I've never really looked into it.

Well, you've just made anoxic filtration much more accessible to me!

Haven't heard of oil-dri being used to make an anoxic filter before, I'm intrigued. I was only familiar with a certain brand of cat litter being suitable (of course the name escapes me).

Read here. What a time to be alive, someone's stem cells have granted them the form of fish. In actuality though, this is an exciting step towards biomechanics!

Melanistic wels?

A shortbodied horror! Maybe we should ban fish keeping 😂

Thanks! They're one of my favourite groups of fish. I thinned out my p. ornatipinnis population to just the big girl with the black speckle, but otherwise yes. Yes, it's a liberifer harassing a rotkiel. Ended deciding I didn't agree with mixing Central and Southern American cichlids, so I...

I've tried using an app that came with this smart watch my girlfriend bought me, but it's incorrectly identifying when I'm sleeping and over estimating my sleep. The sleep debt I carry is powerful haha. I end up accidentally napping for an hour or two and then incapable of sleeping later on...

If we make a noncensored version of this thread, I'll have statistics ready for my favourite artists, listening times, rankings in relation to region and subgenre, etc. 😂

Since I've been home all week sick with covid my sleep schedule is entirely wrecked. It's 5am and I haven't had a lick of sleep. I'm just starting to get tired, even though on a work day I'd be leaving for work in just over an hour. It's already hard enough to keep a sleep schedule with adhd...

It's a response to the forums dialogue about the potential to have the American government ban the vast majority of animals in our hobby, and how there is little response that shows a willingness to fight it. A demonstration that one person can make a difference.

Some of the jazz I enjoy: Maurice Brown - Moroccan Dancehall Maurice Brown - The Mood El Michaels Affair - C.R.E.A.M. The Shaolin Afronauts - Kilimanjaro The Shaolin Afronauts - The Scarab The Sorcerers - Overgrown Icons Some of the soul, etc I enjoy:. Lee Moses - I'm Sad About It Lee Moses -...

You don't clip anything, it's like wiping something off your hand using the edge of a surface. You gently catch the infection on the between the open blades and it comes off without any resistance.

You can manually remove the infection. I have an old pair of scissors at work I use to gently run pictus fins through to remove infections like this. Pictus catfish are probably the most frequently injured fish in the hobby because of their fins. Very clean water, a low stress environment, and...

I was joking that you complained about the inconsistency of allowing the middle finger emoticon, but not swearing, and then it was promptly removed. The inconsistency was removed at your complaint, hence you being the change you wanted seen, or that you manifested the change.

Wow! We get various widows, rattlesnakes, desert night snakes, polar bears, grizzly bears, black bears, cougars, moose, elk, wolf-coyote hybrids, wolves, wolverines, io moths, hickory tussock caterpillars, and even Americans up here in Canada!

Just manifesting and being the change you want to see.

The facility I work at, we do amazing work with the fish we receive. I'll pack orders for fish stores for 8-12 hours and then tackle husbandry even though I'm exhausted and we worked on the fish before shipping. We put husbandry first, but without antibiotics our hands are tied in certain...

Yes, my comment doesn't pertain to America, but topical for the subject as far as the hobby goes. Wouldn't work in British Columbia. Federally, they've banned nearly all medication, with only a vet seeing the specific animal can prescribe antibiotics and the like. I work in one of the largest...

Throw them out

Blame the farms in Asia and the consumer market. Fun fact, there are long fin balloon tiger barbs. It's honestly so terrible that it's hilarious.

Forums should be fine unless we're blatantly slanging prohibited species for the blackmarket pet trade.

Not to disagree with your sentiment, but big cats generally sleep their life away regardless of being in captivity/native habitat. They're apex predators that conserve energy by lounging most of their life. Not sure about species of bear or region you live, but bears up north would just be...

In a 90 gallon I'd go for a school of denison barbs, but that's just because I'm a huge fan of the species. Rhombo won't be bothering your rainbows, especially with a good sized school.

You should be fine with this combination.

On topic for collecting driftwood: Try to avoid softwoods as they'll decompose quickly. That's old enough where you shouldn't have to worry about associated resins/sap from certain softwoods. Most of my driftwood is collected, including some well aged softwood. Only annoyance is the amount of...

Y'all ready for Arapaima King? Time for some quasi-illicit big fish reality television once they're all banned; only wrangled by 50 year old self proclaimed monster fish kings that feed hot dogs and goldfish donated by local organizations and local fishermen cleaning out waterways infested by...

My friend has a severe nut allergy and can't take a fair bit of medication apparently!

I find adults are the individuals that are successfully kept together. If you were to starve them, then you would increase the risk of cohabitation, but in general large and well-fed fish won't be problematic. Though they need to be given the appropriate amount of space for the fish not to be...

You should be fine to grow him out for a few years before getting rid of him. Mine has been in my 210 gallon (7x2x2) for 2-3 years and is around 18".

No, I've never seen them available in Canada unfortunately.

Beautiful fish, almost no maintenance, and easy to breed. Such a great nano fish!
