I'll be drinking beer and watching the fish today...

 

[ForceTen]

I will watch football, drink a few beers and do a water change as well.

I'll be doing the same as well as a couple WC's one on my 8.8 and one on my 10. Don't forget to watch some football too

 

[jinjerJOSH22]

Moved some fish around and crossed my fingers because it could go wrong for both tanks.

 

[aquafrogg]

The day before yesterday I redesigned my tank (new substrate, new filter, rearranged everything). Today I’m just doing final touches and admiring my aquatic pets

 

[Gabbie]

I am doing water changes, hoping for some insight on my low pH thread, and continuing my search for a good deal on a 100-125g tank

 

[bumblinBee]

Trying to find out how in the world I'm going to remove the string algae from my moss lol

 

[StarGirl]

Moved some plants around. Vals were running to the front. Moved them to the back and filled the gap in the middle. Moved some crypts from by the filter up to the empty front corner.

 

[Rcslade124]

Nothing today. It's just observing the fish and cleaning house. Tomorrow is maintenance day but here's pics

 

[ghostdawg]

Did a water change just now, and watching the fish swim around...

 

[kallililly1973]

maybe a new toothbrush and a pair of scissors with a cup or bowl of water to pull the string algae and trim the still good moss back into the bowl to retie it to your hardscape?

Looks great! what do you have in there some black skirts and zebras? is that a 20 tall?

 

[ghostdawg]

Thank you. Correct at BST & ZD. This is a 10 gal Top Fin tank. I'm working on something bigger!

 

[ayeayeron]

I’m dividing my 20 gallon so I can house both of my bettas in there and move my cory fry to the 10g

 

[Thunder_o_b]

Redoing the aquascape in the 150 tall and the 44 pent. Taking out of service a 46 gallon bow front and a 29 gallon.

So in the basement there will be a 46, 37, 30 and a 29 gallon. I just am no longer able to keep up with the maintenance.

I tend to under stock the aquariums, so to movie the inhabitants to a new home is no problem....But the plants are proving a challenge.

Good to hear from you again .

 

[Dewclaw83]

I redecorated my 20 long:



And I finally got to decorate my two new 10 gals:




(The dirt is still a tad stirred up in the second one, it’ll settle out)

On a more sour note though, I will be watching one tank particularly close because one of my female bettas that had been getting better has taken a turn for the worse

 

[Thunder_o_b]

Good to hear from you again .

Life has been chewing up copious amounts of my time. Job, household and then there are my classes three times a week.

 

[jinjerJOSH22]

So far so good
I’ve switched my Pearls with my 6 Three Spots and added my adult male Three Spot to my 60 while the 2 male Pearls and female are now in the 33. Here’s hoping it stays this peaceful.

 

[Crispii]

I recently added some Amano shrimps to my 5 gallon.

 

[coralbandit]

Hearing a lot about drinking beer and water changes ..
They say if you can't beat em join em .
I got more then a few tanks to change do I get more beer ?
Cheers !

 

[MacZ]

25% wc with a bit of mulm removal. Had no beer. Don't drink alcohol anyways. Ice tea instead. Reminds me of the color of the aquarium water.

I'm too young to drink, so I don't drink.

 

[kallililly1973]

Your knowledge of the hobby had me thinking otherwise. My hats off to you for all that you bring to this site as well as everyone else both young and older

 

[ayeayeron]

I'm too young to drink, so I don't drink.

Me too. I’m at the bright age of 13, I can’t even drive let alone drink

 

[aquafrogg]

I also had to do a bit of a minI photoshoot today because why not I’m liking the new design, hopefully once the plants fill in it will really look like what I’m going for

 

[Dewclaw83]

Wait what?! I definitely thought you were older lol

I, however, will be able to drink legally in less than a month and can then join the “drinking beer and watching the fish” club

Nah. I'm pretty young.

 

[coralbandit]

For what it is worth to the younger crowd ;
Fish are for more intoxicating then alcohol for me ..
Also a far better investment if you are on limited funds ..
My fish pay me back with pleasure that last and some 'pocket change' as it goes ..
I am told you only get to 'rent' booze ...

 

[MissPanda]

I just added some new small carpeting plants yesterday. They are grasses and some other unknown one. They're very small and barely have any roots. My gbr likes ripping at my plants so I will go back and re-plant any ones he's ripped up. Little turd! Then I just pray they root before he picks at them again.

 

[KribensisLover1]

[kallililly1973]

It only feels fitting to show the 2 WC’s I did.. one was on my overstocked 10 guppy tank and two was on chubby my pea puffer living happily in my 8.8... oh and a bonus shot of jetty bein as helpful as ever

 

[NavyChief20]

[MamaFishBish]

Well....fish watching....beer and football. Fist weekend I've really gotten to just enjoy them in a while....(was fighting Ich) so relaxing...everyone in there all happy and like HEY FISH BISH...look at me! =)

I felt that.
Gonna be moving some Orange laser fry from their 10 gallon grow-out tank to my 20 long Cory display tank and then do some water changes, then follow up with B.)

 

[Wardonianfungus]

Planting and adding some shrimp, Corys, and snails

 

[kallililly1973]

I just sold 12 green cory fry but in the process totally devastated the plants in the tank so I guess ill be replanting tuesday and probably adding more cory eggs unless I add something different..... HMMMMMM...na be another puffer tank

 

[A201]

I scattered rounded sedimentary rocks along the hardscape in an attempt to provide additional cover & concealment for two baby Labeotropheus Trewavasae. There are plenty of predators trying to eat them. Pictured is one of the rockpiles with a predator male Fusco hunting. The second pic is one of the baby Trewavasae hiding in a hole, while the female Fusco waits for her chance. Maybe a lost cause.

AWWWW sorry maybe its time for another 125

Tomorrow is my day. I need to propagate some plants in one tank and replant after I pull decorations and gravel vac. Need to algae scrub bettas tank and gravel vac. Then the 29 might get a rescape to try to reduce females fighting. Remove one of the pots since they both don't like them. Move around some plants. Then everyone gets some brine shrimp that will be hatched

Be sure to post pics after your rescape and that also goes for the rest of you following this thread that haven't posted pics I specifically said pics were very encouraged ( joking in fun of course )

After

 

[MomeWrath]

Both my tanks look like a bomb went off in them. Plants are half uprooted from pots (I thought pots would protect them LMBO) Right now I am just going to change water and wait for the holidays to pass so I can scoop out my beautiful stupid convicts (why do they sell those even????) and take them back to Petsmart and dump them off and get things straight again. Ugh I'm such a fool. Also waiting on some plants from SeanyBaggs123 to plant up the thirty a little more in hopes that my smiling acara will stop hiding so much. So the short answer is nothing/be mad.

 

[kallililly1973]

Had to replant everything in my 5.5 Cory fry tank due to selling them and ripping every plant up in the process of catching them

 

[John58ford]

Today I moved 15 4 week old fry out of the momma tank. Usually I can get them to drop a day or 2 after I take the pressure off. They look ready so we're hoping for some Christmas fry . Not many good pictures of the process but here's my 4-6 week hold looking very full of happy juvies.



First time I've used a round tank for grow out but it's not as bad as I thought, trying to keep the house looking nicer than Tupperware tubs everywhere this time so we dusted off some old betta tanks and increased filtration .

 

[Mollymommy11]

Adding some new plants and decorations. Doing a few water changes. Watching my Angelfish care for their tiny babies....they are good parents. I keep yelling at the tank every time a baby falls off the leaf...like they can understand me. Lol.

 

[Basil]

Good to hear from you again .

Ditto!

Christmas or no, today is Wednesday so WC day for the 10 g quarantine.
Tomorrow is WC for 40 b #2 and I think I’m going to do a little plant rearranging.
Here’s the 10 g with cherry barbs in quarantine right now. I thought it was a cool picture with the Christmas tree reflection.

 

[coralbandit]

I removed a messy fishless tank yesterday and replaced it with a clean one ! This is my 29 gallon in the wall.






^^ I added a white background as I had some shelf vinyl around ^^
And then I gifted my little dark black and electric blue rams to a Christmas upgrade ..


^ from this to this v

 

[jkkgron2]

I’m setting up a 55 gallon and doing some big water changes so I can add some established tank water to my new tank
