    🐠 TOTM Jacob the tank keeper - June 2023 Tank of the Month Winner (16 gal & smaller)

    Congrats!! Well deserved. Is there a rule about submitting the same tank in consecutive contests? One of those tanks was the winner a few months ago. Seems like there should be some sort of rule about submitting a winning tank into another contest so soon.

    2022-2023 NFL Discussion

    I don't have a favorite team anymore (since the Chargers moved to LA), but in the past 7 years I worked with and got to know a lot of players, so now I just focus on the game and the guys that I am able to call my friends who play. It really makes it a lot more fun for me. I really love the game...

    Mixed colour neos, what colours have you kept together and produced?

    I bought a bunch of assorted color neos 2 years ago just for algae control in my planted cube. Nowadays, I see a few reds, yellows, and blacks here and there, but a majority of the shrimp in there now are back to their wild colorway.

    180g SA Cichlid Stocking Idea

    Drop the keyholes, but keep the festivum. If you get 7, you will no doubt end up with a pair or 2, which isn't an issue for the other cichlids, but the male of the pair will bully any other festivum mercilessly. Just be prepared to rehome or separate a few out of the 7 eventually. They are...

    Maybe a bit creepy!

    Actually I am 100% serious. That guy and my brother have been good friends for years. They are about the same age, grew up in the same area, and met through a church function years and years ago. I've met him a few times and knew he was successful but had no idea what exactly he did.

    Come follow my experience with COVID

    Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately I think that this is all going to be the new ''normal''. I am vaccinated and boosted, but with the way things are going now, I am not sure that will do a hell of a lot of good. We should be relieved that the variants are becoming weaker, much like the Spanish...

    How pesty do pest snails need to be?

    Smash 'em, let them sink to the bottom and your fish should take care of the mess and appreciate you for it. My fish love snail smashing time!!

    The Wet Spot just added something I HATE!

    I think that it's more than fair, and a great way for them to cover any DOA fish costs. I don't think that they are going to lose any sleep over the fact that they could be possibly losing your future business.....

    By breeding guppies, am I “subjecting generations of animals to rape”?

    Yes. The same animals that you keep imprisoned in a small glass box. You can't win. (sarcasm)

    Blue green algae?

    Looks like it. Kill the lights for 2-3 days, then try cutting back on your lighting period. That has always worked for me. With consistent water changes and checking tank parameters of course.

    Fish you just dont expect to see in your LFS

    Last year I saw some sheep pacu (achnodon normani) mislabeled as tiger silver dollars at one of my local LFS. They were asking $80 USD for them. I showed them on my phone what they actually had, and when I came back a week later, the price had almost doubled to $140 USD each. :rofl: :/

    Which River Rock Is Better? [POLL]

    I make sure that all of the river stones that I keep in my tanks are the same color. Most of mine are a very lime green stone that I source from the beach at my home in Mexico. The beach is part of a wide rivermouth/floodplain.

    What type of aquarist stays in the hobby the longest?

    People who keep koi fish. Koi ponds are permanent, unlike fish tanks. The fish also can live forever with proper care and favorable conditions. In the neighborhood where I grew up there was a home with a koi pond in the back yard. I remember seeing it when I was 5 in 1976. I recently was running...

    They were in a 100 gallon, 5' tank with Tapajos geos, so they were very active and would shoal together.
