I just believe it's a matter of choice...any fish will jump at point and time for whatever reason and having an open top because it looks nicer is a risk you're going to have to put up with. I've had zebra plecos dead on the floor after coming home.... I've had a hillstream loach smacked so hard...

I would probably move the caves around as for feeding...try this... freeze dried bloodworms just a few...almost everyone will eat this... hikari micro pellets for cardinals/rummynose and the pellets you're using for the plecos/cories I wouldn't trade a pleco simply because it defends its turf...

if anything the 3d printer is good is to make dividers or filtration media baskets that can hold the media if you're making a sump or the likes... stainless steel ftw...you could just cut a strip of about 1.75" and just bend it around the aquarium then cut the corners to bend the inner side and...

I never actually tried breeding them, I just know they bred because I had quite a few darting around...same with the neons...only reason I know they bred in the same tank was because I saw some smaller guys in the group quite a few zebra plecos..a couple cories..some neon tetras, otos, rasboras...

I've had them for years now...never under 26c I know some websites list them as a cold water only fish. But as mine bred in my tank I'm staying with what works, and that's what I suggest as I never had an adult die.

--> meaty foods...high temps...26-29C bug bites..worms..they'll clean up algae when there's no food around and bottom dweller fish that are smaller than them like cories don't get along you can either get freeze dried worms and put them in a glass tube with an air pump dropping water into the...

just one suggestion on the silicone if you do decide to go with diy....either get black...clear/semiclear usually ends up turning whitish... either get a black silicone or something like dap ultra-clear...since brands change from country to country just make sure it doesn't have any mould...

have you tried gumtree? £50 for the stand/tank and stuff all I did was search for 'aquarium' under £50 might be worth a look specially if you're on a budget

you can use the strap as reference..those white plastic straps are usually 1/2" if you look at the side of the glass is about half the plastic strap which would make the glass 1/4"...since the silicone is black means the glass is even thinner which means 3/4mm now if you look at this simple...

yeah and when the glass bends a bit you got a leak xD my 45 is 3/8'' and my 10 is 1/4'' which is about just a bit over double thickness of your 25L I use 3mm glass for internal sumps and the one on my 45gal has a leak along the return partition which allows water back into it (from the pressure...

I don't own a master kit...have a bunch of bottles for this and that given to me by friends that left the hobby which I never even used. Best purchases you can make in this hobby if you are to spend money on things #1 - ph/tds controller...by far the best purchase I ever made for this hobby can...

The likelihood of the fish living is quite high. Specially because he has the old tank and sponge filters etc from the old tank. While doing this I'm pretty sure you're not going to use expensive fish. A neon tetra would for sure sure die doing this. Rasboras are actually pretty hardy fish. Also...

zebra mussels probably being one of the worst that costs billions and billions every year... this is a ship's propeller

just throw a raw shrimp in there...let it rot...write the date down... add the water from the old cracked tank...and some plants you don't want to delay/stall the cycle by using tap so "cracked tank's" water is gold xD ---> another way...fill up a few buckets..treat the water wait a few hours...

the crack just spread with the pressure? maybe I'll just make a video because I drill mostly very thin glass and make tons of holes without any issues thicker glass is tons easier because you have more play unlike 2/3mm glass which as soon as it cuts you have to stand the drill

You're not adding any ammonia or bacteria or anything.. you have a 10gal Add 3gals to the 29gal and connect them with the bridge (make sure the 29gal is higher than the 10gal so the water in the 10gal doesn't drop much and this way you don't lose any good bacteria sitting on the 10gal glass wait...

that basically is a 2 intake design with double intakes on both... backup for a backup for a backup xDDD if one intake gets plugged it has the 2nd one...both intakes have backup overflows for drainage you can just put a sump under the main tank and pipe it however you want..make sure you have...

the hardest glass to drill is small pieces where the hole is huge compared to the size of the glass itself like this guy over here...to drill 2 pieces without imperfections took me 5 pieces of glass total

as long as you don't apply pressure it shouldn't crack... once the drill cuts into the glass outside the edges of the crack...even if the crack spreads, it won't spread farther than where it's already cut into you have 2 ways of drilling glass 1. you spray the surface and put the drill in an...

grab some piping...connect the 2 tanks using a bridge and add some water...run a pump from one tank to the next for water circulation... add some water again after a few days and again after a few days until it's at capacity and voilá...you just created a 10+29gal water volume multi-tank when...

you said earlier that the crack was about 1 inch...why not drill it and plug it with a bulkhead? now you just added the option to have an overflow in the future you can drain it from there into a sump or attach some pvc with a 90 degree elbow with a piece of pipe adjusted for height of the...

and a week later this is what happens:

there's no way in hell I would chance it with a crack near the bottom...if it was near the top. maybe?!? whether it's these cheap epoxy mixes or "liquid glass" epoxy or crazy glue... the point is once glass is cracked is cracked is cracked your best bet of fixing cracked glass is getting a...

I've had a couple going on 3 years...they eat whatever leftovers from zebra plecos tds 100 pH 7.05 Temp 26-29 Celsius Only bought the 2 I've had them on tap before the zebras at around 300-450 tds and 7.3 pH temp around 26 As I've had them both in hard and soft water The only main difference...

money money money... grab 1 confirmed female and 4/5 males as not all males are sexually active spread out caves throughout the tank at least 1 per fish bugbites/carnivore pellets and frozen worms for food get a tds/ph monitor and an RO unit whenever you change the water do a regular 20% tap...

Just that they're at it again...

L144, L046 the ones I keep....both are easy to keep l144's = cheap / l46's on the expensive side

some people will tell you traps...assassin snails blablabla...nothing works... pea puffers work wonders on ramshorn snails chain loaches for trumpets it'll take months but eventually you won't see a single one of those guys moving I grow ramshorn in my shrimp tank for the pea puffers... I had...

cherry shrimp will lose color and turn semi-transparent or darker and be a brownish color if you don't kill the unwanted ones... the "female" you posted on the last picture is an amano shrimp and won't breed in your tank. the white line across their back is because you have a white...

Yeah but in a house with 80 tanks. Opening up the door is just spreading the problem throughout the house I know the older houses in Canada like 30+ years have double pipes for air..so central heating pulls air from different places in the house through a wet filter into the heating machine and...
