Cool, I love that topic! I actually posted an article or two about this on another thread, and have argued it multiple times.

I can't believe that this was the first option that my teacher mentioned.

Did you dance in your seat at all? Because I think I might have had to say least do a victorious fist pump when I heard that topic.

I gave a smile, something I hardly do in my English class.

It looks I'll be talking about my altum angels in my homework assignment.

I’m assuming my Banjo is actually getting food because he’s been alive for 21 days.

If he's looking well I'm sure he is getting food. Still no sign of the clown?

Nice, I'm sure you'll have a blast with that.
 
Well I am rather annoyed, I'll have to keep a closer eye on this thread aside from just checking my notifications.

I wonder why you haven't gotten any notifications. I thought you were gone for a day or two!

Now I don't like to say this, but I am starting to enjoy the next writing course for English.

See, I thought it was just me! Glad to hear it isn't. Since the update, sometimes I just don't get any notifications when people post in this thread, and then sometimes I do.

It seems almost as if you ignore a notif a few times, it ceased to alert you or something..

Hey, it's not just me! I'm glad it's not an issue with my email address or something.

It would seem that way as it is It's always been like that. When I get bored of a thread I just don't click the notification and it stops sending them.

I'll keep that in mind, I'd hate to lose track of this particular thread.
 
Exactly how big is the bowl? Some bowls can sufficiently house a betta.

*cough*

Well, its like one of those fish transporter plastic tanks. Its not even half full plus it has 2 inches of gravel so 1 inch of water for the fish.

Most water in it I would say half gallon. But probs a quart.

Also,

IM NOT GETTING NOTIFICATIONS EITHER!!! I MISSED YOUR CONVERSATION.

Lol, trust me I get notifications all the time...

I forget but a while back my teacher had like baby salmon I think? She would raise them in the tank and they where pretty cool! She would also make people suck the water for waterchanges and people got it in their mouths sometimes...
I’m guessing it was at least 75+ gallons.

Yeah, that really stinks about the beta, and the notifications. I am so annoyed about missing two days of conversations, I'll be keeping a closer eye on this thread.

Eh... from the sound of that I'm guessing no filter or heater either? I hope she does water changes and that it isn't near any drafts...


WHOO, phase two in my blackwater tank! Tossing in a bag full of leaves. Doing it slowly because it is stocked with 5 panda cories, don't want the PH to drop too drastically at once.
They are definitely enjoying the autumn shower though

Sounds awesome, I thought about doing a blackwater tank, but my family didn't like the color it made the water. But do please keep us updated and post pics.

I have had plans for half a year, but never really came around to it. I wanted to use local dried leaves anyway to save costs so now I have freshly fallen autumn leaves that I let dry out for a few days I'm using european oak, american oak, red beech and common beech leaves. Was planning on using magnolia as well but the magnolia in the yard is still completely green so I'll have to be patient there.

I do have blackwater, as in tannin-stained, in a few of my tanks, but this is going to be a truly acid, peat-swamp style tank, without the actual peat. We have a well out back with GH/KH 0 water and a PH <6, so I figure... why not? So easy when it is usually such a hassle, would be a waste not to try it. I had this vague plan but then happened to have a couple hours to waste in a nearby city. So I walked into the thrift shop and there was a perfectly good-looking 33 gallon. I looked it over a bunch of times and asked them for the price. Walked out having paid 15 euros hehe. Even the back wall has already been painted black on the outside, it took only an hour of cleaning to be presentable. It has been running for a few weeks now since I wanted to be sure it wouldn't leak. It hasn't.

Planned stocking is a group of chocolate gourami and a handful of other yet undecided tank mates (I might move my kuhlI in there but afraid I'll never find them again amidst the piles of leaves) - but it will have to prove itself stable for at least a few weeks before I'd consider stocking.
 
So I just turned in my English homework and guess who got a shout out on my homework assignment?

If I can give any input, I love it! But it seems too bare, if feel though a few well rounded stones in the fore ground would look nice. And it wouldn’t take up too much space if you keep them low.

I'm planning on adding some anubias. Not sure if I want hastifolia or butterfly.
 
Anyone think this is right?

Aqadvisor says my tank
20 long

is 80% stocked with 7 praecox rainbows.

Yet the reccomendation everywhere for them is 20 gal.

Aqua visor isn’t accurate about everything. They’ll usually are pretty good but sometimes are off. Like with shrimp l, they gave them a really high bio load.

I just don't include shrimp in aqadvisor @blackshirttetra
Anyways I don't really use to plan stocking, only to double check when I plan on including fish I don't feel I have a grasp of in terms of bioload. And to check other people's bioload when they post help threads, hahaha.


P.S. I haven't gotten aqadvisor to work for me for weeks. It says the site doesn't exist anymore, yet it clearly works for everyone else. Can one of you post me a link? Maybe something is wrong with my url...

My bad it was NINE.

My bad.

I have recently just begun to go around aqadvisor putting in random fish.

IDK why but praecox are a really cool rainbowfish and I want a nice rainbowfish tank one day.

Yeah aqadvisor can be weird sometimes.

It says a pictus cat can fit in a 20 gal but IDK why it says that. Pictus cats should be in much larger tanks than 20.

My list isn't as long, but I've got a test tomorrow I haven't studying much for, three discussion things due by Saturday, and I need to finish reading Beowulf before the end of the week. And here I am playing Solitare and chatting with you guys instead of studying.
 
I had a french quiz on the things for faire and er verbs.

Sounds awful. I never took French, but I had the hardest time in my Spanish class, so now I'm not a fan of language classes in general.

Keeping cubes of floating pond rats that foul the water requiring you to pour buckets of water down the drain every week.

Or as my father likes to put it: "Good for the environment *sarcastic snort*"
