Well, I have only kept bettas up until this point. The PH was way to high for them. They seem to get bacterial infections, despite frequent water changes. I assumed it was something in the water as it stopped happening once I switched. I'm using a sponge filter. Do you think I should just get a...
I started using RO because I had so many problems with my tanks in the beginning. Our tap water is high in ammonia and filled with other goodies like prescription drugs and even cocaine. You can see particles floating in it. It cost me more to make the tap water livable. We live in a neglected...
Wow, that's really fast! I might have to put the females in a different tank if they start making too many babies. I don't know enough about breeding them to do this line justice.
They're really coloring up! I love the little cellophane marble guy. It's so fun to see how they change
ETA: Do you think you'll be selling any? Following your progress has made me want one! Lol!
Some bettas are just notorious jumpers. As long as you have a lid, he should be fine. When I had juveniles in a rack system, I'd occasionally find one missing. They would jump out of the little hole in the lid of their jar. Luckily, they would just end up in the return water gutter or top layer...
Thanks for the great information! I do a 5 gallon wc once a week so that works out well. I can always bump it up to 2x a week if needed. I don't mind algae at all, I'm shooting for an environment where all can thrive, not a perfect show tank. I have infusoria, too. Hopefully that will help...
On a side note, I also have dozens of what looks to be newly hatched mystery snails. I've never done these before, either. I just chose easy stock to go in a low tech planted tank. Something different, for me anyway. I wanted to create an easily sustainable, fun to look at, little system. I'm...
I just received my guppy trio on Thursday. My first guppies ever. I was out looking for GH tester (2 closest stores didn't have it) just got home and I saw a fry! I was suspicious of one of the females this morning because she was down in a secluded corner of the tank. She's popping out babies...
