    By the way, which one's Pink?

    Happy day Colin...thank you for the courtesy of a response. I feed a piece of fruit 1/4-1/2 inch square once a week and a food stick that is less than 1/2 inch long once a week. 25 shrimp, 3 mystery snails and a flock of pond snails make quick work of any food there. I'll stop by the...

    By the way, which one's Pink?

    Happy day, The 10g tank is 4 months old, stable water parameters with 0 ammonia and 7.8ph. Soil capped with eco-complete, no filter. Just shrimp and snails and as of yesterday, I found three chili rasboras for $5. They are really hard to find here. Not sure why. Anyway, I feed twice a week...

    Pinocchio Shrimp tank in a hurry

    Happy day...so all sorts of madness and mayhem has ensued. Graphics cards have gone into high burn mode, theoretical limits of open browser tabs have been tested and a plan is incubating. 32g Walstad tank with 3 pinocchio shrimp, 5 dwarf indian mudskippers and a small flock of bumblebee gobies...

    Pinocchio Shrimp tank in a hurry

    Happy day Slap...they've been spraying down here for years at night, but now we're losing our small reptiles, amphibians and birds that fed on the blood-thirsty fellas. Not to mention that nile monitor lizard and other friendly pets released into the wild :-) Have you ever toured any of the...

    Pinocchio Shrimp tank in a hurry

    Happy day EYP....$1.99? That's a great deal. At my two LFS, the only fish priced under $2 are danios and sometimes they have a $1 tank filled with their leftovers, which is where I got a weird, but kinda cool looking, pair of rasbora kalochroma. Bugie is very cool. And that's the fun...

    Happy day....you can buy a piece of closed cell foam core board, or even just plastic, in any colour you like and put it against the glass. They trim up pretty well, too. You could also buy a vinyl sticker from any number of online vendors, or use a spray paint like Krylon.

    Pinocchio Shrimp tank in a hurry

    Happy day EYP....I've watched this video a few times. I like the blugrass music...reminds me of The Grass is Dead, which recast some Grateful Dead into bluegrass finger-picking. Outside of three big box stores, our two LFS wouldn't ever have this "mixed in" and it would be $29.99, which is the...

    Pinocchio Shrimp tank in a hurry

    Happy day...I kept a 29g brackish tank for about ten years. Raised a mono sebae and an archer, along with some columbian cats. This was in the old days before people kept fish in schools...but the archer and the mono became best buddies in what became a somewhat cramped tank. I couldn't ever...

    hello people who like assorted tropical fish including: betas, axolotls, brine shrimp (sea monkeys), velociraptors, flamethrowers, and likely anime

    Happy day...I stand corrected. They are doing what they were designed to do, and the fact that I dislike the outcome is not their fault. They are tasty, though :)

    Happy day...I think this is a baaaad topic...if my wife finds out that she could go get a husband plushie, I might be doomed. I told her she couldn't have a boyfriend pillow on account of that being a violation to the sanctity of the marriage vows she made> Lion fish....awful creatures. They...

    I think my fishless cycle is doomed!

    Happy day...every couple of weeks I throw out a pretty big pile of floating plants, some moss and other vegetable matter. If you send me a private message with your address, I'll send you a pile of plants via priority mail for free. Just toss them in the tank, they'll have some beneficial...

    Mbuna Condos, concepts for a African Cichlid tank

    Happy day...so this is the 50g breeder...36x18x18. The pics are from a few months back. It started with an even layer of coral about 3-4 inches deep. Now they've dug it all out in all sorts of interesting ways and some piles are 6+ inches high. I perched the rocks on top of one another...

    Happy day...I came across this post because I was trying to find a way to not think about the delicious pile of work I have. Then I decided that by sharing my experience, I could, in fact, not think about the work that awaits. Acting is always better than just thinking, I'm sure I was told. I...

    Little bugs?

    Happy day....I agree, perhaps came in with some plants or food. Little bit of excitement for the fishies. Don't rush to throw "medication" in there.

    The Problem of Seating

    Happy day...and so our hero, downcast and downtrodden, returned to the drawing board. Three hours of searching for a product, any product, failed to produce anything. Messages to very tall people were uniformly ignored, probably because all they hear is squeaking from somewhere around their...

    The Problem of Seating

    Happy day....so the update thus far is that I have not been able to find a company that makes a gaming-style...or any comfy style....chair with a 36-inch telescoping post. This may require supreme engineering of using the top portion of a gaming chair mounted to a bar stool with a folding step...

    The Problem of Seating

    Happy day...a long, long time ago, long before there were movies produced for Tik-Tok and Youtube, there was a style of acting called "method acting." And so one posited the notion that in addition to method acting, there might be a similar school of study called method posting., which would...

    The Problem of Seating

    Happy day...perhaps you would, you know, give us a bit of a show on a trapeze above a bed with this music? Help us get into the spirit of the thing, really become a method-poster type of...type of...type? Fun side note...the Grateful Dead periodically played circus music during their set breaks.

    The Problem of Seating

    Happy day...my son said that this sort of demand was a precursor to the seats from the movie, Wall-E. I had an easier time getting the trapeze rigged above the bed than finding a chair with a 36-inch telescoping post. Does no one get stoned and sit in front of their fish tanks any more? How...

    Large freshwater fish

    Happy day...I that's a great idea. You could even squeeze some of the muck out the 25s filter into the water, or just put the whole cartridge into it.

    Large freshwater fish

    Happy day...you've experienced a nice array of thoughts here, shifting through the genres. Perhaps keep reading a bit more, dial back on the impulse and see how you feel after a week of watching YT vids and such, then make the purchase.
