The electric pump really comes in handy for so many different tasks! I just bought one a couple weeks ago and now I couldn’t live without it! I can run the python to my 75 and do a water change on that and then use the little pump on my 15 to simultaneously do a water change on that tank. Super...

This is the resource you need. See section on fish Starting on page 82. https://www.avma.org/sites/default/files/2020-02/Guidelines-on-Euthanasia-2020.pdf

Spray paint the back and bottom (and sides too if you like) of your QT tank black or dark blue. It keeps the fish calmer. When I toured Segrest farms they used a black plastic shopping bag that had been cut up a bit and called it a “fluffy”. The fish would use this similar to plants for cover...

The best background is black spray paint, done with proper masking, in many many many coats. I have tried the other kinds of backgrounds and they always look shoddy.

Liz- yes the fry are definitely gone. I just have them in a 15 gallon tank so there’s not that many places to hide. And those fry were all over the place yesterday and now they’re long gone. They weren’t taking care of the new eggs at all. I wondered if water quality was an issue and if perhaps...

Interestingly the fish show no interest at all in Fanning or caring for these eggs. They are just looking at me begging for food even though I’ve already fed them. I think they just want to be young and free and have fun and don’t wanna be saddled with responsibility . Can’t say I blame them!

This is a great idea and I will definitely do this when I am going to be out of town. When I’m at home I enjoy seeing the fountain and will just top off any water that is lost. I am using the floating attachment and have secured the fountain in the center of the pond.

Thank you! Because I’m gonna be traveling at different times this summer I don’t think I will try to raise any of the fry until I get back from my vacation August 2. At that point I will probably try to raise some of the fry myself because I will be home to do so. I was worried about how I would...

Update- the fry have disappeared and they spawned again on the rock!

I just put this together this week. 35 gallons with a solar fountain and tons of plants. No fish yet. Might try breeding rainbows , or raising rams if they stop eating the babies.

coralbandit Do you find the TDS meter thermometer accurate? I have a meat thermometer, a Ryobi laser temperature gun, the TDS thermometer, and a few glass thermometers. They all give different readings and I don’t know which one to trust. I agree. Seriously who needs an electric pepper mill...

How frequently should I try to feed them vinegar eels? I squirted a couple drops from the pipette into the cloud around 7 o’clock.

I know a guy named Attila in Albany who bred rams and is now out of it for similar reasons to you. I have some tiny hypodermic syringes that I used to measure out things like test water, ferts, and Prime etc. I imagine those could be used for the brine shrimp as well? I do have some of those...

Awesome responses SparkyJones and Flyfisha ! Thank you! I’m glad to hear that they might not be eating them! Now I just need some assistance with how to feed these fry. I have vinegar eels and maybe some micro worms ready. I also have baby nano fry food and golden pearls fry food. Do I just drop...

I have free swimming baby Rams! When I tried watching what’s going on in there it looks like the parents might be eating the babies. However, sometimes it looks like the mom picks them up in her mouth and then swims back over to the nest and spits them back out again. Is it possible that she’s...

I don’t know what an iron deficiency looks like. I have just read that if you want your plants to have a nice red color they need iron and the seachem flourish has hardly any iron in it. I was thinking that the Tiger Lotus the Ludwigia and the Rotala may need the iron to turn red.

I have Rotala Indica, Anubias, Microsword, Java Fern, Apongoneton Crispus, Ludwigia, Tiger Lotus, Bronze Crypts, and Dwarf Aquarium Lily. Do I need extra iron for them? I have been dosing with Excel, root tabs, and flourish… but I just bought Easy Green and Easy Iron. I have a lot of fish and...

Once they mature, male black ruby barbs are gorgeous and not too many people keep them. Rainbowfish other than Neon Dwarf Rainbows, M. Bosemani and M. Lacustris are fairly uncommon. You can order unusual rainbowfish direct from breeders on aquabid. I personally love Chillatherina Blerhi...

Rainbowfish are awesome in a planted 75 Gallon!

I have never seen a rainbow copella tetra in real life, but these look amazing! Has anyone ever kept them or seen them for sale? Rainbow Copella Tetra (Copella vilmae) Fish Profile & Care Guide And what about this splashing tetra ?? Gorgeous! Where do we get them? https://pin.it/3Nsuk7K I...
