Finished moving apartments in the last couple of days. Need to unload 3 tanks I won't be using (10g, 15g and 55g). Moving these 2 tanks was a big task but thankfully I had my son help with this. Leaving a basement apartment with so much crap has reminded me that less is more.

Today I had the distinct pleasure of going thru my first ever root canal. A sign of my aging, I guess 🤣🤣🤷🏻‍♂️

Sounds a bit lopsided, but that's not the point. That's a nice upgrade you got there for the community fish/tank.

MTS is a real condition.

Creality has good entry models well within your price point, and per my limited experience I'd recommend to buy at microcenter if they have stores where you are, or look for similar, dedicated PC shopa. The employees there for the most part are enthusiastic and knowledgeable, "nerds" in the good...

Oh, and at least for now, on one of the sides I'm using the programmable light I had on the smaller tank I emptied. Still debating if I should buy a glass hinged cover that goes the entire length of the tank and then buy a programmable light fixture that fits it. Gotta sell some of the...

I have heaters laying around, so I put a second heater in to temporarily fix the temperature issue. Also added 2 more of each the black and white skirt tetra, so their total is now 6. The dojos are constantly plotting against my plant ideas, but so far so good, overall. Some are wilting a...

Cycling was completed last Tuesday. I gave the buenos Aires to lfs, and moved the 2 loaches and skirted tetras to this tank. Still thinking about whether to increase the tetra group, or also take those to lfs and select some other fish for this one. Thinking of adding one more loach too. The...

Here are pictures of each

Thanks again for the input. I am finishing the touches on the 55g tank. I had moved some floating plants and placed filter media from my other active tanks in it for 2 days now. Today I moved more plants and decorations from the 29g. I closed up the small 15g tank where I had the 2 loaches...

Thank you, @Colin_T one last question/comment. I have 2 dojo loaches that will move to the 29g tank. From what I've seen online, it seems like the dojos will do fine with either the buenos Aires or the black skirts. I may add one more dojo too. Any comments on that? I will increase the...

Thank you @WhistlingBadger and @Ichthys Follow up question is what to do about these 3 bigger fish... The black neon seems to do well with the others. From what little I've read so far about the buenos Aires, he'd do better in a group of at least 6, might be a plant forager, and might get...

This guy?

Hi everyone, Recently I bought a used tank setup and it came with 4 inhabitants... I took them because it seemed that they were going to get rhe royal flush treatment if I didn't want them, and I'm thinking of keeping them, although lfs said it would take any if I wanted to re-home them...

Another update. scored a full 55g setup (tank stand, filter, heater, the whole thing) for $80. I got it running with a little bit of sand I had left, water going thru the filters right now. I'm going to transfer the 29g setup and inhabitants to that one (most of it anyway, will leave the sword...

Picture taken with camera phone whole driving. There's a bit of snow on the hood, but the car is white and the window a bit foggy so it's not readily visible. Spring. Bah humbug.

Yay, spring. You sit on a throne of lies!

Been a while since I posted an update. I keep tinkering with the layout and adding more plants, and recently acquired mopani wood and moss. I tied the moss to the wood with fishing line, hopefully it will grab on, although the fishing line is invisible so I might just leave it as is. Removed...

We're doing OK, thank you!! his mother doesn't miss a chance to try to make my life more stressful than it is, but I know God is on my side. I have nothing to hide, and never have lied or made up stuff, unlike her. Anyway... on to the animals. Growing up near farmland and with the family in...

That's a great look, I might go for something like that in the future.

Pets were my escape when I separated from my son's mother. I was aimless and unsure of what to do. In a few months lost over 20 lbs and looked like a crackhead due to the rapid weight loss, the lack of sleep and the rage inside. They gave me something to focus on because they're 100% dependent...

I'm so happy to see such enthusiasm from this. Once I move to a more suitable space I'll definitely try my hand at many of the ideas people have shared here. I must say that my dojo loaches have dispatched the entire colony of scuds in their tank, as well as pest snails. I find myself moving a...

I'm the only brave soull to show up to the office today. Winds that have destroyed most of the city and 10 feet of snow, did not prevent me from showing up. We will rebuild. Nah, as usual, weather forecast worth a $3 bill No snow, no nothing. Bored in the office catching up to things before...

I keep 4 cories and at any given time they all will be on their own, or all bunched up laying down. Come feeding time they'll spring into action, swim around, eat, and settle again. From time time they'll go take their gulp of air, patrol the tank acpuple of times, then go back to settle...

Pretty cool stuff, high quality

About to go to local home depot to get some stuff for the apt. May go ice skating later. Sunny day, unusual winter, no heavy snow so far 😒

Finally feeling better after a mystery bout of sniffles rhat knocked me out since Friday night. Saturday was spent in bed, not that I could sleep much as my sinuses get completely clogged in 30 minutes or less and I end up waking up because I can't breathe thru my nose. Fever only on Friday...

Simple. meat, quinoa, tomatoes.

It sucks. Went from mid 20s/low 30s to nearly 40 for the rest of the week. No snow. If it's going to be winter, I need snow!
