Gender-nonconforming betta really wants to be a mom/dad?
Chick-In-Of-TheSea replied to Epiphanaea's topic in Fish Breeding
Well, because they turn to dust. -
Oh man, but it looks like the cycle crashed!

@Shadow I got the early bird Saturday pass.

I use Xtreme Betta pellets. He loves 'em, and they float for a while. I've never seen one sink because he eats them right away. Also I started giving him Community Plus repashy (just because I had extra). For one, he loves it. For two, it gets him to use the bottom of the tank because prior to this he was just staying at the top. Fun to see him dive down for it.

API master kit then co op test strip
Chick-In-Of-TheSea replied to allanramos1010's topic in Off Topic General
What I do personally when in doubt, is go by the liquid test. If really in doubt or if I feel I may have messed up the test, I repeat it just to be sure. I also make sure the test kit is not expired. -

Do you do anything beside almond leaves to create tannins @Epiphanaea? I like how dark yours look. Mine never look that dark. I've been adding IAL tea but it seems to just clear up right away. -
Filtration on small shallow tank

The S10 has the pump submerged at the end of intake. -

Perhaps an internal filter. Ie: -
I love everything about this tank. Nicely done @Shadow!

I’ve been trying to get a photo of little Cadet’s face! Doesn’t seem to ever be at the right angle, and he hasn't come out all the way in the preceding days. But the fact that his antennae are all the way out today means he is comfortable and feels safe, which makes me so happy! Scope the lines on the new shell! Pretty! 💜 Juniper: The marring on their shell seems more indicative of them clanking around in harvesting and transit with a bunch of other snails, which really to think about, is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. See how there are sort-of lines of gouges vs just pitting. I can't imagine what that would have been like for the little guys! Very scary and stressful, I'm sure! One of the big kids As you can tell I am embracing my algae.. 🤣 Algae is food for them, soo.. I have a good excuse. 😳 Now, you may be wondering, "Chick, why did you name the little snail Cadet?" Perhaps I can explain in pictures. This is just how my mind works, folks...🤪 As far as Juniper, well... Can you see it?- 1,895 replies

I am beaming today because I am so proud of Cadet. He made it all the way to the top of the tank! Of the 4 rescues, Cadet was the weakest. Apparently not anymore!- 1,895 replies

So I started this hummingbird hobby too late in the season; now they are all migrating - a big big journey over the Gulf of Mexico. Destination: Honduras. I somehow got into a small niche group of hummingbird NERMs who are tracking the migration, and the last bird from Statesville, NC left yesterday. I suppose certain ones are tagged, and that’s how those NERMs know. Birds who visit my feeder from this point on will be on their journey. I had one yesterday. She had a meal and continued on. The males left first and so I no longer see them. I made the nectar a little sweeter. That is recommended because they need the extra calories. It felt nice to help out, but I was sad to see her leave too. I don’t know if I will get any more footage, but I got this lovely footage last week that I’d like to share. These are 2 female ruby throated hummingbirds. The females do not display the ruby color; only the males do. Please relax and enjoy! Also! Anyone from SoCal - get a feeder up! Many of you guys have hummers year round. See? Click here Also another SoCal vid showing the migrating birds. They come right through there. (Note on second link: not everyone will have that result - that lady goes to great lengths to attract them with fountains, [a lot of] feeders, and flowers). If birds travel through areas without flowers, they will desperately look for the feeders. Cheap red plastic feeders are what they know and what they will find. I paid a little more for my Hummzinger because it’s easy to clean, has an ant moat, and is bee proof. Some fun hummingbird facts: A hummingbird weighs as much as a penny. The hummingbird heart pumps 800 beats per minute. If they dive, 1200 beats per minute. Like other birds, they have hollow bones to keep them lightweight. They have a super long tongue to reach into flowers for nectar. It retracts in a coil to the back of their skull. Look for the tongue in my video closeups. They slurp it in & out a few times after their sip. *cute* It takes about 12 minutes for their crop (stomach) to empty. It also takes about 12-15 minutes for a flower to refill its nectar after they drink from the flower. @nabokovfan87 @k0olmini- 1,525 replies

Oh excellent. Food for snails is great for shrimps too. 🙂 I really like that channel and have learned a lot from her.
-
Shrimps will eat dead shrimp. Then again, they will eat molts too. So it could have gone either way. Try to limit the amount of meat-based protein they get. That tends to hinder molting. I like shrimp-specific foods or Repashy Soilent green.

That is unfortunate despite your careful preventative measures. Sorry for your struggles. Ugh And I still think the tank looks very nice.

The ones I use are acrylic and come from lifewithpetsgci.com. I think they only make for smaller tanks though, 5gal, 10gal, etc. Not sure if they’d have a 20. Sword plant picture- amano shrimp sitting there being adorable. The living wall looks good! 👍- 284 replies
