Lol, I have been following this conversation because I am interested in doing a blackwater in the future and I completely agree, this is fascinating. This kind of stuff is what keeps me going forward and wanting to try new things. Thanks guys

Ace would probably have some options for regular clear vinyl tubing, more like the tubing on a gravel vac or something. Usually it’s quite a bit cheaper than the braided hose. Didn’t know if it was going to be a more permanent fixture since you mentioned that it was for a sump. edit: missed...

Something like this? Everbilt 3/4 in O.D. x 1/2 in. I.D. x 10 ft. PVC Braided Vinyl Tube-HKP002-PVC003 - The Home Depot

Something like this would be in your budget while making your life a bit easier with the built in timer. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077YWKZ1D/?coliid=I2Z0714CTBACEL&colid=2X8GQWM501W5B&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it&th=1

If you condition the water prior to putting it in your tank, you can use the dose for the change water (the 1/10 in your case). If you put water in your tank straight from the tap, you should be dosing for the entire tank volume.

You have to dial it in, which is much easier with a larger dual regulator setup. You can micro adjust them very efficiently. That fluval one, if it is the cone looking one, looks a bit different because it’s against that white background. I would be careful with it as well, the one I had leaked...

Yeah, as long as it’s planted thick they should be fine. I wouldn’t do any more than 6 though and preferably 2m4f or a single sex group. But 6 will turn into 60 quick so have a plan lol. Haha yeah timing was awful, I was trying to picture 6 full grown giant danio in a 5G tank lol. Old age does...

I read that completely wrong, edit. They should be ok in a 5G. I was literally having a conversation about giant danio we used to have and saw this and misread.

Well, at least we know where you stand. Agree or disagree I’m done going back and forth with you. Good luck and God bless

So, it’s ok to manipulate a fish’s DNA but not to breed it’s fins long? Now I’m seriously confused…

Did we need to expand this to an additional thread? Last time I checked there was not a “free the fish” movement, and unless you have unlimited space and money to save every fish you see, you are an inconsequential blip in the fish business. If I want to use my time to “rescue, save, rehome...

If you think this way you should probably stop keeping fish. You can always justify and find someone else to agree with you when you want to virtue signal. If you don’t agree with it, don’t buy it. It’s simple. If you want help, I’m sure everyone is willing to help you out. If you want to get...

I use eheim substrat pro mostly but I also use seachem matrix and fluval bio rings. If you were looking for something bigger, I know biohome has additional options for larger media and even sump bricks. LFS is local fish store.

If you properly care for your fish they will assuredly have a better life than the short existence in a store. I kind of relate it to rescuing any other animal like a cat or a dog personally.

Personally I have had the best luck with green and bronze corys but I have no idea if they are more durable as a species.

I usually pick mine up at petco or petsmart or lfs. I know Amazon sells pretty much all of it if you do Amazon. Most of the pet supply places and online aquatic stores will have some. Don’t forget to check the saltwater sites too. I have gotten some pretty good deals on crossover equipment like...

Blessed to have a photogenic young gentleman. Well, not so civilized when that other “guy” shows up from time to time :p

I would be hesitant using anything that uses those big rings (tan and yellow ones) that isn’t what it actually looks like. It’s just material they have blown air bubbles into and it is not thoroughly porous, it crumbles too. I would stick to trusted brands of bio media then supplement with...

I don’t know why I didn’t think of them right away but panda garra may be an option. I just got 6 and they are quickly becoming one of my absolute favorites.

I think there is a miscommunication here. To my understanding, this is a cycled, growing out tank, correct? If so, I don’t see an issue with bringing them in to eat. Like you stated, and MacZ reiterated, just keep an eye out and move them back over before the food gets low.
