    Any name for this handsome dude yet?

    My husband was looking in the fridge for the probiotics the other day and he says, which one is it? The one that says Repashy? 🤣

    Scroll up a little to Sunday. I did an update on all the bulbs!

    Don’t forget about clear totes. Very handy and you can add decor and plastic plants so they feel safer. Roy just did his time in a tote.

    Not sure why YouTube suggested this to me, but whoa. I watched a few of these. Not for the faint hearted! One video had an unboxing of a trapdoor spider and he was MAD! Also, escape attempts… the habitat building is pretty cool. https://youtube.com/@tarantulakat Here’s the angry trapdoor. Omg …why did I watch this before bed?

    A 5G would be tricky. It’s fine when the fry are small, but as they grow, that bioload can crash the cycle suddenly. There will be a point where the bacteria is not keeping up, then it will recover and get used to the new requirements. I wouldn’t recommend it. 10g minimum, a tote, or the 20L.

    I would have done the same thing actually. Sounds kinda like a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation. Can you float the breeder box in the tank using styrofoam? Maybe one day you’ll be surprised when you see some emerge from random places in your tank. @Guppysnail recently found like 3 baby cories she didn’t even know she had.

    Please don’t beat yourself up. You can’t control the postal system and couriers. I’m sure your seller took the necessary steps to ensure safe packaging, but what happens in transit is not always predictable.

    Came home to find Goliath and Bon Bon hangin out. Goliath and Bon Bon hatched from the same clutch. Meanwhile, the shrimp gals are busy snacking and doing some housekeeping for the upcoming holidays.

    Came home to find froth on the surface. Fish were fine; didn’t seem stressed. The big 3 checked out. 0/0/30. So I’m chalking it up to the different dechlorinator Stress Coat. Not a product I normally buy; it was given to me. I dosed for whole tank volume as I would do with Prime, but that was the wrong move. Should have only dosed for new water. Appears to be the aloe that causes the froth. I do go straight from tap to tank with a pond pump & a Python hose, and I worry about dosing too little also. Did a 35-40% water change w/ Prime and the froth is gone. P.S. Look how glorious that Aponogeton Crispus is.

    I’m so sorry.

    Thanks! I put a monthly root tab for it. The betta is always curious about what’s going on, LOL. His name is Geppetto.

    I watched the shrimps manipulate some bloodworms in their pincers this morning. Very interesting how they turn it and turn it. Also Bon Bon gave me a scare. She was open but her foot was curled. I got worried, but I checked on her 5 minutes later and she was up at the top in the water sprite, grazing. Seems she made it up there in record time (for a snail) so she’s just fine. 😊 I think she had just been slowly waking up. There is greenbean and bloodworms in there for when she is ready for breakfast.

    Amethyst is moonwalking the lid!

    Oh no, I'm so sorry. 😢

    I've done it but I'm not good at it. If I get the plant to stick, I usually don't like its placement.

    I ordered one of these thingies for Geppetto to give him a bit of enrichment. It’s made by the same guy that makes the baffles. #supportsmallbusinesses Mine will be brown. There are 4 entrances and exits.

    That's pretty cool. I think @nabokovfan87 was attempting to plant a moss shelf too.

    @Cory uses the glue cap to press the plant to the object. I've been doing it that way as well so that I don't get any glue on my fingers. And I agree with other posters that water sets the glue right away. Some people superglue plants underwater, just quick scape improvements or whatnot - but you've got to work quickly when doing that. And you can't do the cap thing - there's not enough time to do your placement, etc before the glue sets - so plan to glue yourself to the decor if you try it 🙂 I've attached anubias to spiderwood using the flexible plant weights. Works great!

    @Fish Folk! That looks amazing! Did you use an active substrate or gravel?

    Black racer for nerites that aren't even the color black.

    I don't have pest snails, unless you count Nibbles, but he/she's the size of a peppercorn and has never grown. I don't think these eggs could have come from such a little snail. Technically I have limpets which are pest snails, but most of them are smaller than, or the same size as, these eggs. If they are eggs.

    I created a natural leaf hammock for Geppetto by elevating this anubias barteri with a suction cup so it is close to the surface. It took him some time to figure it out, but the last two days I caught him resting on there. Also the Christmas cacti are blooming; something that makes me smile every year. They started early: end of November. Maybe that’s because this year I watered them with tank water.

    Make sure you have tunnels (ie: pvc pipe or similar) because they love tunnels.
