The betta ignores them. They actually school around her and she doesn’t seem to mind at all. I have noticed them nipping and chasing each other but the damage on them is on their top fins. The tank is very heavily planted so the crayfish can get above them... I’ve seen a lot of chasing and...

I tried taking pictures but these guys are just too fast. Today I noticed one is missing an eye and a bunch have chunks taken out of their fins. I’m seeing this with the males but I haven’t noticed any damage on any of the females. I do have a female betta fish in with them as well as a dwarf...

One inch per gallon is more of a mystical guessing game. For example you have a 10 gallon tank but can’t/ shouldn’t keep a 6inch fish. The other problem is it’s very dependent on the fish you are keeping and how you set up the tank. I have a 9 gallon with 9 ember tetras, a female betta, a dwarf...

Figured I should post a picture of the finished project. I’m really happy with how it came out. I can’t wait to see how yours looks!

Just finished drilling holes for the intake and heater. I also got a new friend in the tank. Who won’t stay still for a picture lol.

Lol sure do you have a picture you want me to base it off of?

So I wanted to make a 12 long, but that didn’t pan out because the dollar per gallon sale made it too tempting to just buy a 20 long. Technically we are limited to one ten gallon per room but I’m a bit of a rebel. I was trying to set this tank up on a budget so I made my own lid out of acrylic...

Here’s a few I did these are 6 inch crosses I would want about $15 a piece for them. And a fish I started for a group project I am doing with 2 other people. We are making this, a clown fish, 2 sea turtles and an octopus for an outdoor sculpture. I’ll include updates as we finish and work on...

I would take it down to 6-8 hours.

My guess would be lighting. How long do you have it on everyday?

On amazon you can just get an led light there’s a few brands the nicrew brand is a good buy for the money. They don’t look bad tho and you can still get bulbs.

I like it! Do you have a hillside you could build it into? The other option would to be making a giant glass tank above ground which could be really cool. You could do that or have one big piece of plexiglass with landscaping stone around it so you build it up versus digging it down. Crayfish...

You need to replace the bottom with another piece of glass. I wouldn’t trust a resin or epoxy to hold. Luckily the glass is already pretty broken up, so you can just punch out the broken piece and scrape off the old silicone. Next just cut another to put in its place then silicone it back up.

I ended up using some scrap acrylic he had laying around. There’s a few scratches but I’ll be able to drill holes for my canister filter’s intake and output hoses. I used the same molding shown in the video.

I don’t know about building a pond but I made a lot of cash doing yard work and cleaning leaves at your age. Once I started driving I had enough saved up to get into cutting grass on weekends. If you want to eventually get into doing ponds the best thing you can do is learn how todo landscaping...

I gave in and saw this beautiful looking black paradise fish at my lfs. And now he is home and temporarily being kept in a 10 gallon until I have my 20 long set up. What else can I keep in the 20 long with him? I have a cascade 1000 so the filtration is overkill and I plan on having a bunch of...

I would think if the outage was causing the canister to leak because of poor maintenance. If you don’t clean your canisters you increase the internal pressure to the point it can warp the O rings. It works fine under the pressure but once there is no longer the pressure to hold the now warped O...

Nice tank I love the plants!!!

My biggest concern is what you used in the cleaning process. If you used dish soap there could be residue poisoning your fish. Any thing you did not rinse extremely well after washing could also poison the fish. Whenever washing something you should use lemon juice or if you wanna kill off...

What did you use to clean everything?
