I wish the 5.5 gallon ones were on sale because my stand accommodates a 5.5 gallon on the bottom of it. I want to use a 5.5 for quarantine.

It's that time. Multi-tank syndrome spreading like wildfire.🔥

Look at him go today! I turned the light on but didn’t approach the tank.

@smm333 That’s great! Please, let me know if you have any questions. There are some care links in my signature line below as well. What size tank do you have? 2 clutches can produce a lot of babies.

York usually lays eggs every second or 3rd day, but she hasn’t laid eggs since the 25th. Is she tapped out? 🤔

I got Pippin to come out in moonlight but it took time and patience. He decided he was going to hide if I am at the tank, so I had to back up and sit down and wait. Let’s see if you guys are able to spot him.
He needs to get used to the light again because my plants need it.

Well whose fault is it for planting a tree in their yard?

Will you offer them a side dish of yummy moss though?

Yeah, never a fun time when a tank fails. Glad you caught it in time.

Someone said I should clean my anubias. I hired help.

That's pretty cool @Cinnebuns! I think @nabokovfan87 was using a colander as well and was looking for a way to keep it in place.

Hmm. Snails don't usually cross breed with other snail species, do they?

Also you can put that video on a slower speed if you click settings. She goes a bit fast with it.

cigarette filters @ 6:33

The aquascapers (salt and fresh) use pieces of new cigarette filters (apparently you can buy them on Amazon), and use liquid superglue, to add more surface area to where pieces of wood or rock are joined together. The filter is stuffed in there, the pieces held where they are wanted, then the glue dripped into place to join everything. They then use color matching dust - crushed aqua soil, sand, powdery sawdust, crushed coral, etc, to match the color of whatever they’re bonding, and sprinkle it over the filter/glue to stick to the glue and match it so the glue disappears. Sometimes they add more glue just to make more dust stick to cover the filter part better.
If you used a combination of techniques - rock or wood pieces around the cave/hide to stabilize it, and glued it all together using the filter bits for greater contact surface area, then your superglue should hold better.
If no cigarette filters available, I wonder if filter floss can be used instead?

Or ziptie.
Or airline tubing. Fit one end into the other (may require a little bit of heat on the end to become pliable).
-
How about if you put some larger rocks around it so it props it up into position?
Or try silicone. Longer cure time, as we know..

How about fishing line?

Can you put an upside down pot on the bottom, then put your cave pot on that. Zip tie them together through the little holes, then turn the ziptie part to the back of the tank so the tie is not visible?
I also saw this for ghost knives, but I don't know if there are any other colors.

It's funny how I'm growing my pothos. I have the dropped waterline so York (mystery) can go up there and lay her eggs, and Hampshire (nerite) likes to go up and enjoy air quite a bit too. I use the sponge filter tube as a "vase" and it holds the pothos stem, and the leaves are emergent and hang out in the "airea" under the light. 🤣

Why would my quarantine tote look like this?

Last treatment was salt. I noticed some of this debris here and there when the fish was in there. Fish hasn’t been in there for a few days. Opened the tote to clean it today and this is how it looked.
There was charcoal in there but that was removed like a week ago and several water changes done since.
