The father was a dragon guppy and the mother was panda guppy. All of them came from the same fry batch. The blue one in the first pic is the most unique out of all of the others imo.

I use APC battery backups for air pumps and water flow filters only. Lights and heaters will drain them quickly. We have power outages during bad weather so they are a life saver. During extended power outages I can recharge the UPS batteries with my generator and when resting the gen I use the...

Time for a nerite snail to eat up the diatoms! Are you using any plant ferts? Any water changes yet or doing a cycle?

Interesting issue. I've tried denitrate as well without much success. I'm not sure what to suggest other then using RO water and then remineralizing it.

I never could get the NITRA-ZORB to really do anything to reduce the nitrates I had. I do have ammonia in my tap so decided to use API Ammo Lock for water treatment which has seemed to help with the reduction of nitrates over time. Good old fashion water changes I what I do to get rid of the...

Check out the start of this tank's journy here --> My first saltwater tank - Aqueon Frameless Cube Aquarium, 3 Gallon

Recently purchased this to combat temp issues next time power outage. I have a gas powered generator that it can run off of, as well as a battery UPS. Aquarium Chiller Cooling Fan (Amazon)

Scoly lookin' terrible, everything else doing good though. I think it was due to too high of temps during hurricane Beryl. It got up to around 86 degress. It is showing signs of recovering so I'm keeping it in for now. The toadstood has like 5 heads now. Thinking about getting a larger tank for...

So I have some snails in my Q/H tank, which I do believe keeps it cycled. I rigged up a small pump to make water changes easy. It's a 3 gallon and sits on a low shelf on my desk. I don't look at it that much. Doing weekly water changes. Bare bottom. Light not really used, it gets natural...

I just started up a Q/H tank and I think I'll keep it running for good now. I used it in the past as a fry grow out tank (it's only 3 gallons). I keep small fish so it's sufficient. I did have a 10 gallon used for Q/T but since have had so many guppy fry that I had to set it as perm grow out tank.

I had the same thing occur for the first angelfish I had, which is the one in my profile picture. Had one of those aquaruim castles in the tank and it got stuck in between one of the openings. The fish survived for a while but had lost fins that never really grew back. And it didn't live as long...

I've heard the same for many types of of plants, not just ones in the aquaruims actually. I shall do the deed soon. Should you clip it as soon as you see it? EDIT: I've also had an anubias that flowered, actually two, in a small 5 gallon. But these are really close to the surface already so...

Thanks all!

Not really, they move around so much very hard to get a good pic. I just moved these guys inside from the outdoor pond so they can be on an autofeeder while we are gone on vacation for next week. They were moved to the pond about 2 months ago as smaller juveniles. There's some really...

This is the first aquirums I started (20 gallons) Age: 2 years 1 months Substrate: Small pebbles mixed with black gravel Plants: Submerged: Java Fern, Vallisneria, Amazon Sword, Frogbit, Duckweed, Moss, Couple others not sure what they are called Emersed: Goldon Pothos, Lucky Bamboo, not...

I really do like the Bug Bites brand foods.

I've had to resort to using Ultralife Blue Green Slime Stain Remover Amazon on the freshwater tanks to get rid of the Cyano. Only took 1 dose. On the saltwater I had a Trochus snail and did more water changes then normal to combat the Cyano. This was part of the cycling of the saltwater tank I...

Sorry to hear about the cyano. I've dealt with it in 3 of the 7 aquaruims I have, one being a saltwater tank (20/10/3 gallon). All tanks in the same room and some have less window sunlight then others. I've not had a reoccurance of it since getting rid of it however. Great to hear I might be...

Most balanced to me means the lighting is not too overpowered and there's thriving plants. Once I've dialed both those things in then the tank becomes balanced and I don't really have any algae issues in them. Once the balance is achieved then the amount of stock can vary, depending on your...

My small 40 gallon pond in the backyard always has 0 nitrates. I don't do many water changes when there is rain weekly. I just did a 10% change today actually but it has been almost 2 months since I've done one on it. And the one I did 2 months ago was only 5%. Fish stock: Rosy Red Minnow (7)...

I'm talking on the subject. Even though the info doesn't neccessarily apply to the OP, others might come and read it and find the info useful. I see no reason not to say what I have said already. At first I thought the OP said they had ammonia in the tap source water hence the reason I was...

It's always taken about a week for the tank to completed cycle when I do the seasoned filter media method. I hear a lot of people say it is safe to add fish right away but everytime I've checked there's a cycle (you can get readings on nitrites) for about a week after adding an ammonia source...

I was never disputing the price difference between countries, only that regular old tap water conditioner is cheaper then one that removes ammonia. If indeed that is not the case and one conidtioner over the other is the same price somewhere else then they are lucky I guess. The price listed on...

Never heard of/seen those before.

What do you mean by brand dependant? Price on Amazon for a 16 oz bottle of API Ammo lock costs $11.24, API tap water conditioner costs $6.78. API tap water conditioner and Ammo Lock treat both chlorine and chloramines using the same dosage regardless of which one you have. Oh, that makes even...
