The tank was set up, cycled, and planted several months before I got him. Sorry for the delay, I’ll post the update. Temp has consistently been 76 throughout summer and winter, and the sponge filter is set up with an airstone. Thank you all for your help, I tested a few days ago, found that the...

Nope never before. I researched and am trying the walstad method. I believe it can be done properly without needing WCs. I have a masters test kit, just was away from home. I’m waiting for the results.

I don’t have a test kit available to me at the moment. I heavily plant all of my tanks and under stock them to the point where they don’t need any water changes. During the time that he’s been sick, I moved him over to an empty, heavily planted 40 gallon tank which I’m positive has good...

This dude is in a 20 gallon long with a large sponge filter and ceramic bio-balls for filtering. The only other creatures in the tank are shrimp and snails. It’s heavily planted and I don’t do regular water changes. He has been in this tank for roughly 6 months and he’s had the symptoms of...

Hello! I pulled up this anubias from a dirted tank and I wasn’t expecting these super long roots. I was going to replant it into a 2 gallon tank that has only about half an inch of substrate in the spot I wanted to place it. Would it be bad to cut most of the length off to make it easier to...

Not sure if someone already said this but I just wanted to add that it looks like you have Java fern planted into the substrate. If their rhizomes are buried then the whole plant will die. You can bury just their roots or tie them onto your hard scape instead. It looks great otherwise, I love...

A 3 gallon is too small for a betta by itself. If I were you I’d just wait until you upgrade to a 10 gallon before you add any tank mates. If you’re totally set on getting tank mates right now then I would do an amano instead of a Nerite snail because of their low bio load.

I no longer have this betta, but he was a pro at making bubble nests! His were always huge and were made in a few hours. The only one that stayed together for long is when he was sick and in quarentine, probably because of the still water.

What size tank/tanks are they all in? And what do you mean by one cup of water 3x a week, do you mean the literal measurement a cup? This was most likely caused by bad water quality, do an 80% WC on all of your tanks, because the water is probably bad in all of them. Then purchase a test kit...

Please can you fill out the emergency template

I would do 50%. If you want to be sure you should use a test kit

Yesterday a google search told me that hygrophila polysperma is illegal to import, sell or buy all over the US. I was really bummed.

I made these vegan donuts today! They’re baked not fried and they were SO GOOD. Used this recipe, it’s not vegan but its easy to tweek it. - No-Knead Donuts (Baked Not Fried) - Gemma’s Bigger Bolder Baking My moms pic vs mine lol.

That’s a bladder snail. Remove any snails and eggs as well as the plants the they came on until you decide if you want them or not.

What about a bag?
