Oh shoot I was pumped!!

Ugh I ALWAYS did and do except for when I do the snail eggs bc they are so hard to remove and it’s acrylic so even gloves scratch it. But also the gloves won’t scrape them off. They’re stuck so tightly!! Ohhhh yes oo that is great news. But YUCK. YUCK. ty!! I only saw one and then I looked for...

Hello This is a new tank with only 5 small peppered Cories. I have SO MANY snails and eggs. I just got a ton off the front inside acrylic 20 minutes ago and already the eggs are back and all over the back too. I already asked on here what to do and it’s hard with acrylic bc it so easily...

Oh I ADORE them and have 6 in my 64.8 gallon but I figured they’re way too large! How many could I get in the 26 gallon. (and side note: if I have 6 in my 64.8 gallon and two small angels that are not getting bigger and one bn pleco and 1 bronze Cory full size and 2 albino Cory small (and I’ll...

Hello! Not even sure where my last post is bc it’s been a while. I finally have my api kh and gh and TDS. Quick background I have a 26 gallon acrylic tank, Amazonia Ada version II Substrate, Chihiros B lamp, Sicce Whale 120 canister, Fluval heater, and a good amount of plants. Five peppered...

Wait Do snails need to be fed if they’re eating all the algae? Bc it sounds like you had a great set up for a bit until you over fed the snails. But maybe they need more nutrients I truly don’t know. Also just curious My friend gave me a small Tupperware of maybe 3” square of duckweed and...

I got a stunning Tiger Lotus and planted the roots and only half planted the bulb. It took off and did so well that I had to replant it in a different area of the tank. The roots were so long that it was really hard to get them to stay I. The soil and have the bulb above. Needless to say the...

Pls don’t get ramshorns If you ever add more plants you’ll likely get them that way and they seriously overmultiply. They also don’t eat any of my algae. I would personally have the light on way less. Like three hours in the morning and three later agternoon Also where is the light? Is it...

Hello! I got a Sicce Whale 120. The flow was SO LOW that I got an air stone but it barely even rippled the water. It worked as a filter and the water was clear with 0 ammonia (I checked almost daily since set up in March). So today it wouldn’t prime after a water change. I checked the impeller...

Wood can take years to sink I am positive. I put suction cups on mine and suction them to the back wall.

Perfect! The gh and kh tests are set to arrive between today and 6//18

Oh no the tank water is higher—but I add flourish daily so maybe that’s why? Sorry if I wrote that wrong. The tank is 205 the tap is the lower.

Ok I got the tds meter. Tank is 205 Out of tap is 179 Waiting on the other tests to arrive

Ok! And yes the Cories were being so active tonight. I thought of an all Cory tank bc they really came to life after the cardinals were go e Also I tested my TDS and it’s 179 tap and 205 tank.

Ok TClare Cyberfish so a couple things; I really think I’m swapping the peppered out bc they’re so hidden. I saw Pygmys ands they are sooooo tiny I was SHOCKED. Like the ones I saw were almost invisible like .25”. Is this always the case? Bf they sound cool!! And I had green neons in the past...

Not that big sadly. It’s 36 by 10–12 by 16 It’s a flatback hex 26 gallon and like 4–5” substrate so less water volume than that. And I have kept larger cool fish in there but I would like a schooling fish where I can get as many as possible. But I love the idea of (duh) actually matching regions.

I would love them but they’re weaker than cardinal tetras

That’s. Wonderful idea!! I was considering moving the Cory’s bc they are so camouflaged but your idea is wonderful and it didn’t even occur to me I am ashamed to admit!

What do you think of chili rasboras? I am looking for fish that will pop on black on black back and substrates. What do you think of chili rasboras? I am looking for fish that will pop on black on black back and substrates. That might not be as

The issue is it’s an acrylic tank with bracing so there are two small openings but not an open top at all. That’s a cool idea!! Ok so basically back to the drawing board!!
