Update: I reintroduced the last male and now he’s swimming out in the open with the females. Looks a normal weight now too. Guess he was just in starvation mode and couldn’t figure out how to leave.

I should mention they weren’t “new” fish when I first got them. They were from a Facebook marketplace ad. Cause of that I cannot accurately guess their age, but I would assume still less than 5. I’ve been target feeding the one male frozen food out of a turkey baster and he’s put on weight. I...

I did have a bigger water change when issues appeared. I noticed two dead ones and did two 50% back to back. They have been behaving this way for about 3 weeks now.

Monday, roughly 25% but I also topped it off.

I’ve only got one left. Isolating the guy by himself would probably be equally stressful. Why would the females outcompete now? What’s made them more aggressive/hungry. Nothing has changed, not even the brand of food.

Hello there, I’ve had the same group of Glowlight tetras for almost two years now. They’ve been quite happy, only two deaths occurred ever from the night I brought them home. They’ve even successfully bred in the display on multiple occasions. However recently, I have only seen 4 females...

Hey guys! Sorry for not responding, I picked up the pleco today. However, I fear I was too late to help the original. They gave me an Albino Bristlenose. Still a baby. Guess they replaced the other one :(

Aww, I never noticed the female bristlenoses don’t have as big of bristles. It for sure has the bristlenose eyes. Other possible matches are L-001 and L-83, but goldspots don’t have that head shape. Could you maybe share a photo of any of yours that you think look similar? It would definitely...

Hey folks, I found this listing on FB marketplace, I could care less about the tank. I want to help the pleco. The tank doesn’t have a filter that works, current owner says they turned it off because “it makes too much noise”. (Shivers, man.) I have a nice open 36 gallon that can hold him till...

My guys are descendants of the free surplus at my LFS, I doubt they want them back. Lol. Only freshwater fish store within an hour of driving, and the next place up is a reef store with a freshwater 75 in the very back crammed with guppies. If anyone sees this and they’re near 30005, come get em!

Maybe. But my guys are so mixed and low grade I had doubts people would want them. They’re all mostly red, but still transparent. It would be nice to do though. How/how much should I sell these fellas? Ok, that’s comforting. Thank you.

Hey folks, I’ve got a little RCS colony in a 2.5 gallon. My numbers are increasing exponentially, and I probably have ~50 cruising around and another 100 in eggs. I’m upgrading my 10 gallon reef tank to a 55, and the 10 gallon will be available in about a month. What’s the “max” population of...

Came in right before the lights turned off for the day. Found him like this. I think it confirms my theory of him acclimating to light, because I’ve heard stories of them moving into the dark and out of it as they are introduced into the aquarium.

Its a 10 gallon. I’ve got a “sump” if you can call it that. A 5 gallon below the desk with a few baffles of filter media and an extra heater. A marine land something or other power head is in the tank, covered with plastic mesh of course. I keep my nitrates and phosphates pretty low. Near...

Hello! I got this green bubble tip anemone yesterday after thinking about it for awhile. My clownfish hosted a patch of GSP I had to remove and he seemed sad. Does it seem alright? Never kept an anemone before. Seems to get bigger and smaller but not deflating or inflating. Just opening and...

Well what a bombshell! Lol I had a clownfish live without his eye for a year before I had to sell him to move. I hear he’s still kicking. Eyes really don’t bother fish as long as they have one.

zombie fish!! What a trooper, I’m glad they’re still doin alright.

Ok. I’ll cup em. I started an infusoria culture from a little bit of sponge sludge and tank water. Maybe that’ll come in handy if they live off the tank for a little bit. Do the fry come in waves, or do they lay just once?

Hmm, well I have a water change coming up on the shrimp tank. And there’s very little nitrate in the main tank. Maybe I transfer that water into the shrimp tank rather than new water? I’m not sure. The tanks get the same water in, and I don’t buffer the tank. Everyone seems to be happy on my...

Oh jeepers they’re that small? Yeah I guess even if I did have a tank with a filter ready, I wouldn’t have the food. Good prep for next time at least. I have a shrimp tank with lots of microfaunal growth, but it’s unheated. Is it worth a shot of putting them in there?
