It’s hard to see from those pictures but could they be snails?

If you go with ann acrylic tank next time, your dad would appreciate you.

Do you get that eerie feeling someone is watching you sleep?

They help for the microscopic algae that causes green water.

If you do something without having to think about it, that might be instinct. The more you think about it, unless you ultimately go with your “gut” anyway, it is probably intelligence. Even going with your gut might be intelligence. Your brain can subconsciously figure out a lot of variables...

Beneficial bacteria grows in places oxygen can get to. That’s another reason for vacuuming the gravel. It stirs up the gravel as well as removing muck so you don’t have unoxygenated areas that grow gram negative (bad) bacteria. Enough bacteria sticks to the sand or gravel to keep the cycle...

In plain English, I vacuum gravel to the glass and swirl just over sand to get detritus on the surface. Things fall in between the gravel and get to the bottom. Some stuff they sell as sand is large like small gravel and not like beach sand. I vacuum that to the glass bottom. If it is fine sand...

Terrific analogy!

Yea, that sounds pretty accurate, actually.

You may definitely say so.

I agree with 10 Tanks. It is very nicely done!

They look like endler/guppy mutts to me. The one on the right looks like it has some tiger endler and maybe Japanese blue endler(?). The one on the left has some guppy but might be crossed with endlers too. Editing to add that @emeraldking is the expert on these, so I am just giving my opinion...

Right

That’s some solid evidence.

That T in a box allows you to add text. Then you click any where on the page and start typing, hit enter when you want it to drop down to the next line. Then you can move the box where you want it, too.

I use Schedule 40 PVC where no one will see it. It’s supposed to not leach.

Do you have the option to “add text” to the PDFs? I think there are 3 places with “…” and one of these, at the top (left?) allows you to add text. I might be confused with Adobe acrobat though.

Now that we know it didn’t work, we also know it wasn’t negativity so much as realism.

I’m sorry about your loss.

Hi @Ellie Potts, came back to see how you’re doing. I would love to see a life and cat update, if you feel so inclined. In any case, I hope school, life, your mom and grandparents are doing well.

As I was reading that thread, for a while there I was sad that two of our lovable regulars seemed to be hitting each others buttons. I’m so glad you two worked it out and am wishing you both the best, as well as for those in your care. It certainly makes for long days and little sleep.

I guess there’s a school of thought to start them out with the tank their adult size will need, probably inspired by the fact some people never get around to upgrading as intended. This forum tends to side on the happiness of the fish. I can appreciate that since their whole world is the box...

Has Mr. Bingley showed up? I’m sorry about Firecracker.

Update- the zip ties did not work in the long run.

I’m curious- can scales grow back?

I dip the ends in a cup of hot (almost boiling out of the microwave) water so I can slide them on further. I don’t have to do this with black outdoor air tubing because it just doesn’t pop off. I just don’t want to throw out all that silicone tubing I bought.

How about silver with some color highlights? Our bright silver highlights over pewter?

I noticed in an earlier post the OP found a source that overlapped water temps and stated plecos and tetras can live together since they occupy different parts of the water column. Of course they liked that source because it said what they wanted to hear, and then used it to decide all was good...

Just one, and maybe that’s why.

I stand corrected.

Sometimes we get fixated on the numbers of times feeding instead of amounts. You don’t know that the person feeding daily is over feeding, even if that is more common than under feeding, to then tell them to feed every other day. Maybe the less aggressive fish already don’t get anything and...

Either it’s disoriented or didn’t mind at all.

There is variation in every batch. That is why Lakeway Tilapia grades them and the runts are sold as pond grade because they stay small and keep eating algae. Food grade grow at the fastest and most consistent rate but they are separated out of each batch for fastest growth and maturity traits...

I expect the kribensis will beat up on and terrorize the gourami and cherry barbs. The acara will keep growing and go after those smaller than it as it ages.

Todays the day.

Nice tank! We have gotten into a subculture here of heavily planted tanks. I’m not an expert on what the fish prefer but I think it’s refreshing to see something different.
