    Why the confused emoji @nabokovfan87? We have given them the choice between in-shell and no shell, and they take in-shell peanuts every single time.

    Well folks, here you go. This is messed up. 😵‍💫

    That's carbon; they finished a treatment and it's helping clear it out (along w/ water changes). They apparently like anything that's net-ish, just ask @Guppysnail 😂 Ask her about her table at the fish swap... I just restocked my salt w/ my last ACO order. I am going to rest everybody for a week now.

    Yeah, one of my friends has the liquid kit and she explained it to me. I think it's weird. I just do strips. 😆

    It's ok to leave it there for a couple hours. The veggies don't really affect parameters like commercial foods would.

    @Ninjoma there is so much mischief going on in those photos! The white cat is very well camouflaged in the bathroom photo. Nope, she's smart. She knows she can't get it if it's closed. And once she gets it out she just lets it lay there in the sink with all the little flecks of crud. LOL Also, she has some kind of a romantic affair with my husband's socks 5 days a week. But not freshly laundered socks, oh no no no... we are talking end-of-workday, socks-in-dress-shoes-for-10-hours socks. She rubs them all over her face and the top of her head.

    They love peanuts in the shell!

    This is from a few years ago but as of this morning, she is still doing this. And that thing is disgusting and slimy!

    Truth! And I had to remove her from the bed 3 times before I could apply the fitted sheet. (This happens every time I make the bed. For some reason it’s super exciting to her). She also takes the metal drain stopper out of my bathroom sink…
  10. Chick-In-Of-TheSea
    Welp! Time to make the bed!

    Today I found 2 shrimp with living Scutariella Japonica. I moved them to the wild tank which has medication in the water. Their treatment will conclude on Tuesday, so I may just do a separate QT tank, just for any more affected shrimp. Perhaps a critter keeper or something where I can know the water volume. Running a huge tote for a couple shrimp doesn’t seem feasible. Has to be clear so I can observe. Maybe specimen container again, but I can mix fenbendazole in a larger container. I would say salt dips, but they didn’t work for me and they were suuuuper hard on the shrimps. I want to avoid salt if at all possible because I had a bad experience. @Guppysnail has had great success with fenbendazole, and the treatment is short.

    Shush @nabokovfan87. it was cleaned last week, it’s just stained. A downside of foam. Also there’s like 25 more babies in the little ridges of it. I have it sitting on a upside down shotglass because every time I clean it and go to put it back down, the babies all rush under it…🙄 Lol. That wood gets moved every time I pull molts. That’s just where it happens to be today. 🥸

    Are the dogs from the same litter?
  14. Chick-In-Of-TheSea
    Yep, and almost certain to result in a long shrimplet hunt in a bucket.
  15. Chick-In-Of-TheSea
    Thanks @nabokovfan87!
  16. Chick-In-Of-TheSea
    Looks like the OP already tried this.
  17. Chick-In-Of-TheSea
    I tagged someone who keeps guppy grass to see if she has any ideas.

    I’ve reused sand. I did rinse it really well though because it had a bunch of little pieces of plant roots and detritus. I got it out of the tank with a fish net. The same can be done with gravel. I am not sure about the aquasoils; I do not have experience with those. I then used a seeded sponge filter and added some Fritz Zyme 7.
  20. Chick-In-Of-TheSea
    Could it have eaten a fish? Have you done a headcount?
  21. Chick-In-Of-TheSea
    The ingredient should be cyanoacrylate; I probably spelled that wrong. It’s my understanding that the safe one must actually say “gel” on the package.
  22. Chick-In-Of-TheSea
    Are you using an active substrate or an aquasoil? Those are known to leech ammonia, and the ammonia will be converted to nitrite by bacteria, over time.

    Very nice. Those should make purple flowers. They can even be planted submerged, if you like. I volunteer with a lake restoration group, and pickerelweed is one of the plants we plant. We have to get it way down into the mud, deep enough that it cannot be unrooted by current. The plants make their way to the surface and emerge. We plant these plants to help control erosion and runoff.

    I have a few ideas. Shrimp do very well with powdered foods. You can take a pinch of Repashy soilent green powder, for example, and release the pinch under the water where it will disperse and coat the objects. It's not something you will really see other than when you put it in, but the shrimps will know it is there. They love to clean stuff like that off sand etc. Repashy is different than a powdered fish food because it contains gelatin, so it doesn't foul the water. Also shrimp really LOVE boiled vegetables. Boiled spinach, boiled lettuce, zucchini, cucumber, green bean - they love to pick at that stuff. I would remove the seeds though because they may not eat those and the seeds might float around your tank. I use a plant weight around the vegetable, and that makes it too heavy to be moved. Also catappa leaf is a food for the shrimp, and it will provide tannins in the water that benefit the betta, but the betta does not view catappa leaf as a food. The shrimp will need some calcium. You can drop a piece of cuttlebone into the water for them if you cannot get calcium-rich food to them. You can take a look at shrimp caves and try to find one that the shrimp can fit into but the betta will not. The one that aquarium co op sells is just 2 inches in diameter, you'll just want to see if it's not too small for glass shrimp - they are bigger than neocaridina. If you find one that works, you can drop small food (such as Hikari shrimp cuisine) with tweezers into that cave. https://www.aquariumcoop.com/products/shrimp-shelters
