JBL


Nope, all my other tanks are fine (which is also why I'm sure it isn't the test itself, but could be that the different leaves contain some kind of chemical that creates a false positive?)

JBL is liquid, correct? If so maybe the liquid is expired?

Thank goodness I'm not born in November!

I wasn't either, so I see no reason to keep the month. We can just move all November birthdays to either the last day of October, or the first day of December. Surely they won't mind.

The one that annoyes me most is a documentary streaming service that I've already signed up for, but still have to see ads about all the time. It's like, I've already bought it, so can we just skip this bit?

Our family has spectrum TV (american service) and on their channel they play ads to get spectrum TV. We are planning to cancel and get Hulu anyways.

Speaking of B-days, are people that were born on February 29th only age 1 year every 4 years?
 
But guys... if we delete November..... won't we delete ourselves? I'm in November.

Would leaves do so though? Mine never have.

Yup, that's totally how it works. I think I was born on the wrong day, if that's the case.

Wait, I thought it was still October. Please don't tell me I lost a month.....

Oh my would you look at the date. Not flying by as far as I judged! I have no attachment to it then. Could have sworn I was in November though....
 
On the other hand, how do I feed cucumbers to otos? First time and one of my oto cats seems to like it raw and non blanched. Do I need to blanch it? How do I blanch?

Also what is the max time I could keep a cucumber in a tank?

Yeah same here. I have a long track record of using those exact same leaves in many different tanks... never had a problem. Never used this many though. Hm.
On the other hand I really can't imagine fish living for several days in nitrites levels in excess of 2ppm with zero damage or symptoms.
I got so paranoid I even tried different test tubes... still same results.

You don't need to blanch. I do that to sink it. To blanch you drop it into a pot of boiling water for around a min - till it sinks. Otherwise just add it raw and make sure it sinks with a fork or something. I leave mine in overnight and take it out after college around 4-6.

Don't know about cucumbers, but I find that mine love the Rapashy algae eater food.
 
Who is this George Washington you speak off? And what important thing did she do?
Click to expand...

Is she some sort of pop singer or something? I honestly don't keep up with this things very much.
 

I like it at 1:51 in the video when it says delicately and carefully. Then you see the lady throw the fish.

Disclaimer- this video is not the real way the goldfish are made, it is a parody. Watch the whole video you won't regret it

How are altum angelfish made?

Well you see the mommy fish and the daddy fish become friends and they make babies.

She even threw one into the wrong bucket - unless all the buckets are for them.

Well that's not the video I was expecting! Haha. Love it.

Guys, I've lost my banjo. Where could she possibly be?

And I'm starting to realise that my pleco is called a starlight, not because of the colour pattern, but because it's only seen at night. Sucker hides here the rest of the time.

I have a where's Waldo for you. Where's the fish in this pic? I have no idea how easy this will be or not.

Muahaha! I was afraid it would be easy. Shall I tell you or should I leave it? I can post a pic of the fish but that would make it very obvious.
 
Here's the fish: Taiwanese Dragon Micro Goby - Schismatogobius ampluvinculus

Cute! On my list for fish to keep.

They are amazing! Gobies are some of my favs. Highly recommended. Though the one pictured starved and died. Easily stressed by larger fish. So does best with nanos.

Wait so it’s not in this pic?

That is a real cool fish but I still don't see it.

Really? It's not in focus but it's in plain sight. Look a bit above the orange rock in the bottom.

Too bad it died
Click to expand...
Yeah, that sucked. The one in the top pic is still around. I never see it as they bury all the time. That's the only downside to them other than that they starve easy when stressed. Both combined means that you don't know until it's too late
 
Oh ok. Did you breed them?
Click to expand...
I would have liked to, but nobody has bred them in aquariums. Freshwater gobies tend to need brackish or marine conditions to complete the life cycle. No reports on this species, but seems likely they need it too.
 
So turns out I did have a nitrite spike after all. I checked up on the evacuated cories this morning and at first I thought they were dead. They were not moving upon tapping the tank and I saw no gill movement either. I poked them with a net and there was minimal and sluggish reaction from about half.
I immediately dosed with methylene blue. Instant effect, they were happily swimming about again a few minutes later. I counted three times to assure myself the swimming group was still complete. Though little buggers.
Popped in a few air stones, I'll have to keep dosing MB for a good week at the very least. Eh. Poor things
Still don't understand where the spike came from.. A PH drop by itself shouldn't kill your bacteria if it is still above 7, right? I can't help but think something happened to my cycle somehow...
But it must have been pretty sudden. There is no way the pandas would have lasted through several days of >2ppm NO2.

Also holy cow. That is some next level camouflage. And here I thought my kuhli's and oto's were hard to find in a well-planted tank. Pst.
