What are you doing to your tank today?

[SamMe]

I just got some Phoenix moss. That would work well in that type of a scape.

How are there 211 pages on this one thread? This must be one popular thread. Anyways I just rehomed one of my molly fry to a 10 gallon ( it used to be in my 37 gallon) because it was competing with the newborn fry for food

 

[ChrissFishes01]

Discovered the first large batch of Koi swordtail fry in my 33 long.

 

[Debbie1986]

Got the 37 gallon from my sister! She had a bunch of kribs in it bc they were breeding like crazy. The tank was definitely overstocked and I didn’t think the tank was a good fit for the kribs so I sold them to my LFS. I’m keeping her full grown BN pleco tho she’s gorgeous, her name is Dolly.

Wow, that BN pleco is amazing! what a beauty

It's a fun thread

 

[ChrissFishes01]

Added a handful of new shells for the hermit crabs in the Green Spotted Puffer tank this morning. The crabs have been with me for a couple years, so they're getting rather large - 2" or so. Given the fact they live with a puffer, these are the most battle-hardened crabs around! (not really, their shells are too thick for the puffer, so they just get the occasional nip).

That I believe

 

[Cadillac15]

Just ordered 3 Veiltail Black Angelfish, and a Sunshine Pleco. Super excited!!!

 

[kallililly1973]

This thread really took off can’t believe I started this 4 years ago and It’s still going strong.. Glad everyone enjoys it. Always remember pictures are always encouraged!!

Setting up the new 37 gallon. Went to LFS just to look and ended up with two more rabbit snails I love them (I now have 4) maybe I’ll start breeding them, I heard it’s difficult though

 

[Valleywren]

Just received my guppy and snails today! Two of three snails were alive, which is a big improvement of my last online purchase of snails, of which all arrived dead.
My guppy is SUCH an interesting color, with so much orange and pink!

Rabbit snails are life. I have seven, three adults, four juvies The juvies were all born here, so I am especially fond of them

They are so fun to watch

 

[Rgtx]

Separated my last cardinal from my main tank to rehome. Thinking I'm going to go in another direction with my tank and leaning towards semi aggressive Central American cichlid mix.

 

[Silverleaf209]

I am super excited since I just got a blonde tiger guppy and 2 water onions and a huge water sprite plant!

I'd love to see a picture of your guppy!

 

[Cadillac15]

Well, got the Sunshine Pleco into the tank, today I'm probably just going to sit back and watch the tanks!

 

[Silverleaf209]

I'd love to see a picture of your guppy!

Sure! The tank is a bit messy though from having snails in there last week, I need to clean it a bit more.

 

[Wendybrass]

I lost one of my new platies yesterday - a really cute black one with a white face. Can't find any obvious reasons (water, disease). My only guess is she over ate (a few of them, her included, gorge on the Cory's shrimp wafers, after I've fed them. Need a better tactic) I could go back to being super paranoid about the Betta. Parts of her tail were missing but I had to bump off a rather large ramshorn so that could have been lunch. I never saw her picked on but we don't see everything. Boo.

Love him!!

 

[Silverleaf209]

Love him!!

He is supposed to color up a bit more though, I think he will also get slightly bigger, right now he is the size of a endler.

 

[Linda1234]

Guppies are like a box of chocolate esp when you mix different types and they start breeding; you never know how the frys will look until they mature; and some of them can be really quite stunning.

 

[GouramiGirl100]

Going to get some RNT today hopefully after work! Considering also getting a pair of gold rams not sure yet though

He'll bring a pop of sunshine to your tank! I had a really nice yellow guppy with an orange spotted tail - he really stood out in the tank.

So true. I love watching them develop their colours

 

[BPSabelhaus]

Won’t be doing much for a few days. I have 15 yards of soil to move and level the yard out.

So here’s Alex from the last couple minutes lol

Depending on leftover soil, I may put a small pond into the top of raised rock bed spiral garden. Doubt I’ll do fish in it at first, just herbs and plants with food or medicinal purposes. We’ll see, I gotta go move dirt lol

 

[BigManAquatics]

Picked up a stand for the 55g today. Also picked up a shelf rack to put the 20g's on. Went to the LFS and got a background for the 55 and some shrimp pellets for the snowball pleco. Also looked at the special plecos he currently has in. He is partial to plecos and keeps an awesome pleco picture catalog in his store. Always showing me stuff!

I love looking at all the plecos at my LFS they are my favorite fish. Do you keep multiple types of plecos in one tank or do you keep single species in each tank?

 

[Blacksheep1]

Bought new blood for my previously struggling neo colony last week. Today I see cladogonium ogishimae.. brilliant. Not. I was so careful, the shrimp were healthy looking but what can you you do .. I suppose it’s like ich with new fish.

I’d got the colony back to a great place too so it’s a bit of a kick but it’s isolated . It’ll be treated and the colony will be monitored . Sigh….

I know you weren't asking me, but in my 75g I have 2 BN, 1 Clown, 1 Green Phantom, 1 Sultan. In my 125g I have 1 Orange Cheek Pinecone, and 1 Sunshine. So different species of pleco do get along well enough (usually. Some can be jerks but most are peaceful)

 

[GouramiGirl100]

Bought some lemon tetras and a pair of German blue rams today! Planned for the RNT but they looked sick and honestly I liked the lemon tetras more

Awesome good to know! I love plecos so much I’d love to have a display tank of different species

I agree. If you get species that aren’t aggressive and provide enough hides / caves then you’ll be ok in a large enough tank.

I currently have 1 tank with a male and female bn pleco and 1 tank with a male bn pleco and an unsexed snowball pleco.

Ok nice! Snowball plecos are so beautiful

 

[ChrissFishes01]

Stopped by a new LFS today and picked up a Cabbage Leather coral, a couple nerites, and a Pom Pom crab.

 

[BigManAquatics]

Rack is finished for the tetra tanks. Also, water changes done.

 

[Motherlovebetta]

I need to find a snowball pleco!

I had a lucky day I actually saw all of my plecos today! This guy even came out.

I also figured out how to see my clown plecos. If you sit on the stairs near the tank and very slowly scoot down they don’t see you very well….

Don’t mind the Alf doll our basement flooded from the storms we have had lately and my 6y/o is in love. Who can blame her!

 

[ChrissFishes01]

Fed the Pom Pom Crab for the first time.

 

[BigManAquatics]

Ok. Got the stand built for the new 55g. Suddenly, the headache i have had for the last 8 days feels like it is finally going away....

 

[Blacksheep1]

Over filled my medaka tank by accident by just a little during a wc. Scooped two Jugs worth out and noticed the shrimp tank could do with a top up, in it went. An hour later I noticed two tiny medaka fry swimming around ! They can stay for now seeing as though they are smaller than new born shrimp.

It's all in the technique
Re planted a bunch of the plants I planted last week. Knocked over my driftwood configuration in the process because I didn't fasten it in place. So that was fun Hopefully they all stay put for a while.

 

[Blacksheep1]

pictures please!

They are actually so small my camera won’t focus on them ! You just see tiny blue eyes swimming around. This is from last time I switched the breeding mops though and the best I could get then and they were a lot bigger at the time .
I’ll try tomorrow to see if I can get them as they are all to bed now

Water change on the 55 yesterday during lunch break - quick and dirty because my left hand is still wounded.

The other tanks I did the day before after work, as I had to work today.

Here's the 15 gallon flu val with my betta dude. His coloring is so vibrant.

That is a very nice looking Betta!

 

[Perfect]

Got rid of my freshwater stock and have begun cycling. The water is like really cloudy because I didn't rinse out the sand. I am running the pumps to suck out the ultra fine stuff out of it though and it has helped.

 

[Blacksheep1]

pictures please!

It’s the best I can do ! The camera will not focus , they are just too small . The copepods on the glass aren’t far off the size of them .
