    @nabokovfan87 I give her Hikari gold cichlid mini pellet, and I don't think there is a version smaller than that (in that brand). It's too big for her to swallow so she pecks at it and she also picks it up and swims backwards with it. If the tetras steal one, I give her another one.

    Cory uses the superglue cap to press on the plant he’s gluing. But then I don’t know how quickly you could maneuver that underwater. The glue sets extra quickly when submerged.

    My first reaction was ick but that spreads (and kills fish) quickly. You say it’s been a few weeks so I don’t think it is ick. @Colu

    Do you weigh the green beans down with the lead weights?

    The video I posted this morning with all the hair algae on the heater, swaying in the current. Welp, that’s no longer there! This is what they did while I was at work.

    Exactly. You need to “fix” the sword plant and it just so happens the proper fix is mystery snails. 😉

    We did ok with Repashy the other day. And I saw her eating an algae wafer which I believe was too big for a tetra to swim off with.

    I like to feed my Bolivian Ram a sinking pellet. She has come to recognize that the aquascaping tongs bring her food to her. But within a minute or so of feeding the pellet, the tetras swarm in and steal it from her, then fight all over the tank with it. Now, I do feed the tetras flakes first to try to distract them. I also give the ram a new pellet if they steal it, but I'm wondering if there's a better way to feed her so that she doesn't feel like she has to fight them off? She kind of does a little charge at them when they are being jerks, not hurting them or touching them or anything, but warning them. They don't care and they steal the food anyway. Any suggestions? 5black neons 5 pristella tetras 1 bolivian ram 1 mystery snail 1 nerite snail

    We have lots of parasnailing going on. When I looked at the tank yesterday, 3 parasnails happened in a row in 3 different areas of the tank. This is epic. ☂️

    I was worried about the algae coating on the anubias; that it would inhibit their photosynthesis and respiration. Not to worry though, some more leaves were thoroughly cleaned throughout the night. Check it out. Brown algae had covered this leaf yesterday.

    Mine just clean the algae off of plants, but they do not eat healthy plants. They only eat dead/decaying parts of plants, such as leaves that are dying.

    Agreed. I took that thing back to the store within a week, after 2 occurrences of running dry because a power outage occurred while I was at work, and I wasn't at home to prime it.

    I had a smaller first clutch (top one in pic) and all of the eggs hatched! It was incredible to watch.

    @Guppysnail I rinsed these as well and rubbed the leaves and stems to remove any stuff that might have been on there.

    @DarthMollusk @Odd Duck pictures & everything; you guys are awesome! I made the cut; I did two. I put them in the hob for now; wasn’t sure if the juice at the cut site was fish safe or if I needed to wait for the roots to grow first.

    Your names are cute @Guppysnail. Time for a concert! I never tried placing the Nerite on something to “train her”. I did place a calcium chip (contains spirulina etc) in her direct path though and she went around it. I will try placing her on the food next time.

    They like green bean? My Nerite ignores anything I put in there for snails. He just wants to eat biofilm and algae. Except 1 time when I put zucchini. Every subsequent zucchini was ignored.

    Hi Dave, welcome! I grew up in Shamokin, got family in Scranton too.

    I just bought a Pothos but I’m not sure where to cut the vine so it will grow in the tank.

    The tank looks grungy but the little guys are doing a good job cleaning it up. It looks significantly cleaner than this morning, and they are scrubbing the stubborn algae off the plant leaves. Some of them are enjoying the Repashy. I do notice a lot of waste though. A lot. Let’s hope we can keep parameters in check. I bought a Pothos and plan to float some.

    They are beautiful, @Guppysnail! ORD! 😍

    I've had pest control in the home before, and they sprayed at floor level. I don't have any low aquariums; everything is at least waist high. My tanks have lids also, and no ill effects occurred after the pest treatment.
