I clean the fx6 on my 120 every 3 weeks only because I feed newly hatched brine shrimp nearly every day. If I wait a month or more the BBS build up in the filter and cause ammonia and nitrate problems.

Yes. Pea puffers are individuals. My Snoop is not aggressive at all. She just shrugs off any aggression from the archers or tetras with a "seriously, dude?" look. She can tear a cricket meant for the archers to pieces and if they try to shoulder her away she just bites the cricket in their...

As I have chloramine in my source water I find 30% every 5 days is sufficient to keep nitrates <10 and limit the ammonia shock which would result from 50+% water changes. Stocking levels and keeping food quantities down also make a big difference. Close monitoring of levels goes a long way...

As is your choice of club. Lol. We aren't as tribal in north america as they are in England, and that's a good thing. My first trip to Manchester to see matches opened my eyes. First match was the home derby v manu re. Intense. We won and spent the night in a City pub which was manic. Good...

Man City for me. Not a good season for my team. "Pool will take the title easily. I subscribe to DAZN which is very reasonable amd good stream and carries the major sports. The only carrier of Prem matches in Canada. I've wanted to kidnap Virgil for City for years. Guy is a beast.

Any of the smaller puffers.

More than I should have, not as much as I'd like.

I had a 2" snapping turtle draw blood while trying to hand feed an earthworm. Those beaks are sharp!

Small white dots... As a keeper of daphnia, you most likely don't have them. More likely you have cyclops. They're quite tiny and ubiquitous as hitchhikers on plants. Daphnia have a jerky, mostly vertical motion. Cyclops tend to dart and stay still, often sticking to glass or surface film...

My 120g. New in Oct/19

I get these in my daphnia tanks after a week or so. They look like miniature trees. I thought is was a fungus of some type and it doesn't harm the daphnia. When I clean their tanks (rotating) every 8-10 days I net the critters out into clean aquarium water then scrub the tank, bleach and refill...

Humor was intended.

Nice!

I had 8 Amano shrimp enjoying life in my community tank. They were happy and healthy among the tetras and others and pretty much stayed in the huge anubius with some forays to the biofilm on the driftwood. Alas, after introducing new fish to the tank they have, within one week, transformed into...

Well, it's-32c (-26f) and going to -39c tonight. I open my balcony door to air the place out since it's been shut in for a while. I hear a knocking at my door and it's a neighbour asking if I've had a fire. 6 aquariums at temps between 80 and 70f give off enough humidity to make a disturbing...

Mother's little helper was recommended by someone...

Some do well in fresh. More info, please.

1: Love my clouded archers but Snoop the dwarf puffer owns my heart 2: I want a panther crab but shrimp are #1 until I get one 3: Eat fish? Nom nom nom 4: Dad had a 20 gallon in the '70s to amuse we children. Always liked the colorful little critters 5: Best? Figuring out how to care for each...

I have 4 tanks of daphnia for feeding. Tanks crash every few weeks for whatever reason. I drain, scrub with vinegar, rinse, fill with 1/20 of household bleach including sponge filters (stuff grows you wouldn't believe) for an hour, rinse, fill with triple dose of Prime then fill with display...
