I've successfully kept croaking gourami with dwarf and pearl gourami in my 72"x18"x16" 90 gallon.

Most of my thorny catfish make various grunts, my pygmy chain loach make clicking noises, and my old croaking gourami made plenty of noise during the right season.

Put it with other Central American cichlids and there will be very little nastiness. Far heavier hitters in that category, making a Dempsey seem very much placid.

Mix 1 table spoon of pure epsom salt in 500 millilitres of water. Soak fish food with this dilution and it helps clear out internal parasites without harming the fish.

Mix 1 table spoon of pure epsom salt in 500 millilitres of water (I've seen distilled water recommended, but my tapwater has a TDS of 4 and I've used it without issue. Just find a source of water with low TDS imo). Soak fish food with this dilution and it helps clear out internal parasites...

Fair enough, since where I live there's lots of second growth that's 150+ years old that hasn't been generally altered too much since it was logged when we first made contact here, I didn't really consider what other regions might hold. The ditches in the small agricultural area nearby are just...

And not to mention it's one of the few man-made ecosystems that allow for nature to adapt and fulfill niches in. It's rare that we completely destroy habitat and replace it with something nature can still utilize.

Shocking that a catbox didn't win. Congrats on the win, I've always been intrigued by biotopes of environments disrupted by human activity. Interesting concept.

Lmao, this post was a wild ride 😂 :banana::banana:

This is my red tail giant gourami... The gourami. I bought him in 2016, about the size of a betta. He had been kept in a 10 gallon for almost a year and was stunted and unhealthy. I started him in a 30 gallon, them moved from that to a 90, then 140, and now 210. He eats peas, various fruits...

It's the singular benefit to waking up early for work and taking transit. I get to see one or two of these every year!

Impossible for the two fish to breed. If the severum is guarding the eggs, it either layed eggs that are not fertilized or spawned with the acara.

Sneaking a full rack shot into this thread.

These are some of the best pictures and one of the most incredible sunrise of my life. Seems in-line with this thread.

Hey y'all, I assume there's some outdoorsy people here since we're all about fish. One time I was camping in a mountain valley on a private campsite that's literally on the shore of a large river about and hours drive into the valley. There's no service or amenities aside from some portable...

That'll be a nice tank too. Always prefered shallow tanks myself

It's a bit of a bummer as I love the look of them too, they're developing red in their anal fins now and blue speckling on their bodies. We have all the fish coming in on new shipments this month at work, so it should be fully restocked by the new year. Happy I won't have to pay retail for all...

Hmm. I'm not too sure what the turtles name is anymore, I always call him "the turtle". I think my girlfriend named him after Professor Farnsworth from Futurama, I'll have to ask her! The longer tank won't only look better, but it'll be easier to maintain for water stability, and it'll be more...

Really regret buying those aphyocharax nattereri, the internet greatly understates the sheer conspecific aggression in this species. I would compare their behaviour towards characin to exodon paradoxus. It was incredible honestly, they killed pretty much all my hyphessobrycon wadai overnight and...

Congrats! I knew my lizard was doomed to lose when I saw that picture!

Yes, they're made using crispr gene editing. Green are jellyfish DNA, while the rest are coral DNA.

Something like SeptoBac Septic System Treatment Pouches. The bacteria outcompete pathogenic/harmful microbes through competitive exclusion, while also breaking down a wide array of organic waste present in the tank.

Probiotics will outcompete cyanobacteria.

Were they at least brilliant rummynose?!

Just my ¢2 that no one asked for, glofish are much more ethical than painted/injected/tattooed fish. But then there's the issue of commodification of fish to such an extreme. With regards to betta being sold in cups, the only way to stop the practice is to let them die and become financially...

This is my... 8? gallon catbox pond I made specifically for the contest to help increase engagement 😂 It has a singular bullhead minnow that showed up a few years ago in a bucket I have a willow growing out of, that I've been using as mosquito control since then. It has some parrots feather...

Same

I've had springtails for nearly a decade and they're just helpful little homies who get eaten by fish occasionally. They haven't spread outside of my aquariums/vivariums despite 50%+ humidity in my house.

Bloodfin tetra naturally range down to 18°C, which is subtropical and suitable for unheated tanks in certain climates/houses. https://www.seriouslyfish.com/species/aphyocharax-anisitsi/

Additionally, fiddler crabs are more sensitive than your average invertebrates in my experience.

What about epoxy? I think that would likely work.

It is an amelanistic a. macmasteri.

It was! Although at the same time, the survival instincts that take over really are incredible. I was mentally sharp, incredibly calm, and the adrenaline removed any limits I'd place on myself. I'm sure without that, I would've been crippled by fear.
