I'll hopefully post some pictures of it before I get it in the tank if I remember haha

Mines pretty round all over, without dents so I'll probably sand it some to give it better surfaces for gluing. I wasn't sure if it would matter or help, so that makes sense. I appreciate it. :)

Thank you! Do I need to sand the spots that'll touch at all?

How did it hold up after? Did you have any that came off? I planned to prep the wood with a soak then bake it before setting it up so I could freely try to see how I liked it before it being together.

I'm trying my hand at a more natural looking aquarium for my 20 gallon, and the focal point is to be a nice piece of driftwood. I didn't find the piece I had in mind but, we did find multiple pieces that would pretty much make exactly what I wanted. I've never messed with driftwood, but I have...

Not my usual test strips, my others rolled under my tank lol, but! Here's my ph as reference in that tank (60g) are 2 angels that do very well in that ph.

You could treat to err on the side of caution. I can test my water in the morning to show you what my ph reads in my angel tank. Right now it's 1 in the morning for me, and I'm not home, sorry.

The breeding pair I had the female got extremely aggressive once she began laying. Once it was egg time it was fight time. Even people walking past the tank she'd go after aggressively. Her mate had died right before spawn and she tried desperately to pair to another male who only was interested...

I've had 0 luck with any blushers I've bought. But to have not only issues with sensitive blushers and then all the other fish as well.. hmm.. That fish specifically, was the eye always that size? It looks kind of large in comparison to body size. Do you use the liquid drops test kit or do you...

What I initially heard from some aquatic channels and from google was a sorority was anywhere from 4 to 6 females, and the store I got them from listed specifically 5 for a group in a 20, which is what I was bringing them home to. I did just get them yesterday (6/12/22) so getting another, or a...

Update: Unfortunately, John Hammond (The white fish pictured above, and who this post was originally about) has just died. She was looking/behaving much better, and then when I just checked on them she was gone. I'll have to return to that store tomorrow since they're closed today, everyone...

Yes, welcome to fishlore! :)

I didn't know I could keep that many in a sorority. In all honesty I went in for 1 and really fell in love eith the Dumbo deltas. They were pretty expensive so I just settled on the 2 I really loved the look of and picked the others to go with because it was more cost effective. JH finally is...

I wouldn't say it looks like an injury. Does he look any thicker than he did previously? What does your water test out at? It could potentially be ammonia burns? If you're using any activated charcoal in the tank you'll need to remove it for any form of medical treatment as that'll deactivate...

If you're struggling with your PH not staying up, I ended up having to get cichlid sand to keep my PH up because no matter what I did I could not keep it up even with that PH up powder. Didn't help. I don't know what type of water you have, but mine is well water and it does fine with all 3 of...

I bought them around 4ish my time, got them home and let them acclimate for about an hour, released them and now it's 10pm where I am. She did finally get up and swim around, not too long though and went back down to the bottom. I'm going to keep an eye on her for a few days. The store I got...

I'll try to get a photo here soon. The 3 standards came from the same tank at the store, and the dumbo delta's were in a tank together as well. So far I haven't seen any aggression as of yet, but I did go into it knowing there was that possibility. I've noticed the blue one I got likes to come...

Hmm... He doesn't look like he has Ich, but that doesn't exactly mean he couldn't have it if he's acting like he's itchy. Are the white dots the bit under him? Or is that black/white sand? If it's not the dots, is there any way you could get a photo of the white specks?

Putting an update on this post. After my last water change we also changed the heater out on the 60 gallon with another heater we had that is newer than the previous one in the tank. I found some at a store that I'll have to look into some more before buying but on the box at quick glance they...

Hi, I just bought a sorority of Betta females, there's 5 total in the group in my 20 gallon aquarium. I also have 3 male guppies and 3 corydoras in the tank with them that were previous inhabs. I spent quite awhile in the store looking over the options for the females, originally just planned...
