    Byron Update

    This is such sad news. Byron has played such a huge role in this community, and he has taught me so much in my time here. My thoughts are with him and his family.

    My opinions on community tanks

    The way I always understood it is that there are 2 main types of tanks, a community tank, which houses more than one species of fish together, and a single species tank, which obviously houses only one species on its own. A biotope is a type of community tank where you try to simulate a specific...

    Gourami mystery illness

    I'm having an issue with my dwarf gourami, and I need some help figuring out what's wrong with her. About 2 weeks ago I noticed that one of her eyes was bulging out. I noticed this towards the evening so I let her be overnight and the next morning I saw that her one side, opposite of the...

    I just got into traditional archery a little over a year ago, and I love it! I shoot with a recurve bow, but I do purely target practice. I don't think I could ever actually hunt anything, lol. There's a rod and gun club near me that has a 3D archery course, where you hike through the woods and...

    What are you doing today?

    Woke up to find a wild starling in my bathroom. No idea how it got in or how long it was there. But I have pet birds so obviously having a wild bird in the house is not exactly great. I spent my whole morning deep cleaning the house, anywhere the bird may have been. I only got to finally sit...

    Gourami got stuck!

    From what I've read, yes they can. I've been keeping an eye on my gourami's scales, and it does look like the some of the scales may be starting to grow back, but I'm not sure. It's definitely going to take some time, I think.

    Gourami got stuck!

    Thank you very much for your kind words! I was definitely worried about her for a while too, and I'm so grateful she was able to recover. I also love it when a thread has an update, so I always try to remember to add updates to any threads I make. I hope that at the very least this experience...

    I would probably do a huge South American Cichlid tank. That would be absolutely amazing.

    Gourami got stuck!

    Update! She's doing great! She's completely back to normal behavior wise. She's energetic, swimming around and exploring as usual, begging for food, etc, and her appetite is back to normal again. The wound on her back has been healing nicely too. I'm thrilled she was able to recover and that...

    Had a marvelous weekend at the Vivarium 2023

    That looks amazing! I better not ever be let in there though, because I'd be broke by the time I leave. 😬

    Gourami got stuck!

    A little update: She came up for dinner tonight! She saw the pellet bag and swam right up for food. She ate quite a bit too, which is really exciting. This morning she only ate one and I had to sink it for her, so it seems she's steadily improving.

    Gourami got stuck!

    I know, it makes me really sad to see her like this. I feel like she has improved a little since yesterday though. She ate a pellet this morning and I saw her nibbling some algae a few minutes ago. She seems to be swimming a little better too, a little less shaky than yesterday. I've also seen...

    Gourami got stuck!

    Last evening when I went to feed my fish, I noticed that my dwarf gourami was not waiting at the surface as usual. I checked around the tank, and suddenly discovered her lodged in a small hole in one of the tank decorations. I have had that decoration (an asian pagoda) for years and have never...

    Restocking my tank

    I've been meaning to post these for ages now, but something else kept getting in the way. Anyway, here are the new additions, which are all doing great. The gourami has grown quite a bit since she got here. She has a really funny personality too. (Also, ignore the algae. These were taken just...

    No photos yet, I didn't want to stress out the new inhabitants with my phone. But I'm going to take some soon, now that they're all settled, so I'll be sure to post them! The Gourami is doing great! She seems to be in perfect health, and has a great appetite (I swear the only thing on her mind...

    Restocking my tank

    Thank you very much for your help! So, I checked with my LFS, and I asked if they have the Boraras, but they didn't. They didn't really have any other, smaller fish that I felt would suit the tank, so I ended up getting a school of Harlequins like I'd originally planned. I also checked where...
