Thanks, glad it didn’t look like those to you either. Hopefully it clear up on its own eventually, but I’ll keep an eye on it.

Tank What is the water volume of the tank? 20 gallons How long has the tank been running? Since Mar 2021, though I redid the tank earlier this week (no new cycle) Does it have a filter? Yes, fluval canister Does it have a heater? Yes What is the water temperature? 83F What is the entire stocking...

Water changing my 75, procrastinating thinning the vals and rearranging the hardscape. Also about to give my 20 a second dose of general cure, since I'm treating newly acquired fish.

It's been two years, but this tank is still going strong overall. The vals have taken over so I need to thin them out soon and adjust the hardscape, but I think that'll wait for another day. :D Unfortunately we went out of town last month, and the person house sitting overfed the tank (a lot)...

I moved the rams and tetras into the 20 long late Tuesday, since I 1) wanted to avoid crashing the cycled filter if possible, and 2) can finish QT in this tank since I moved the old inhabitants out. I've been checking parameters a couple times of days, and thankfully no sign of ammonia or...

Does anyone know of a reliable place to source Otocinclus vestitus from? And if not, does anyone know a good way to visually ID them apart from other oto species? I've heard they're notoriously difficult to ID, but hoping there's a key I haven't found yet. I'd like to find vestitus since they're...

Long overdue update, but finally getting around to it. I've been off of fishlore for awhile for various reasons, namely life and other things getting in the way, and my tanks certainly suffered a bit for it. The rainbows and gudgeons have dwindled down to my final few, though at least my...

He was my first thought, but I also thought he was taking a break from raising them. :/

I'm looking to redo my 20 gallon long, and am thinking of getting a pair (M/F) of German blue rams and planning the rest of the tank around them. Since I know folks on here keep and breed rams from time to time, I wanted to check here before going to aquabid or elsewhere. Anyone happen to have a...

Length-wise, yes fairly similar to CPDs. Much smaller body mass though :D If you're looking for larger killies, australe or gardneri are relatively hardy and easy to keep. My orange Australe killies have been some of the easiest fish for me, and readily breed even though I don't have...

Could try a pair or two of Australe killifish; or CPDs, smaller Pseudomugil rainbows, Endlers - any of those could work well.

Heads up that clown killies are suuper tiny - they only get up to an inch or so (but beautiful fish!). Two might be lost in a 20 gallon (they'd likely love the tank - you just might have trouble spotting them sometimes) - you could easily add several more. They'd probably be fine with adult...

I've had good luck using NilocG root tabs and liquid ferts for my Amazon swords, crypts, and vals. No experience with Cabomba or Bacopa though!

Overdue for another update. My gudgeon fry are a bit over a month old, and still coming along well. There's probably 30-50, and they're all starting to develop their black caudal spot. All voracious eaters, especially for BBS. I've started mixing in some prepared foods, but hard to tell if...

To really drop your nitrates, you’ll need to do a series of big water changes. Unless you have particularly delicate species of fish, you could regularly do 50% or more. To get down to more acceptable levels, I’d suggest doing at least a 50% change every 1-2 days until you get down to the...

Updated my availability. The only fish I now have ready-to-go are orchid endlers. I'm currently raising young fry for all five species below, so I should eventually have these for sale in addition to the endlers: Pseudomugil gertrudae rainbows super red BN plecos Peacock gudgeons Bolivian rams...

I really like the look you're gone for! Glad to see it's coming along - these things always seem to take longer than planned. :D

Yep, they're available as long as you're located within the US. Please send me a PM with your info. I can verify shipping cost then too.

Yes, they're still available. Please send me a PM with your info. :)

I’ll make sure I take extra good care of those six in particular. ;)
