  1. @Simon Buys Glad to hear that the podcast helped make your Monday! I want to give a big thank you to @Hoon Aquatics for giving an hour of his time for the interview.
  2. @David D yup, what @Robert said. One of the many things we have in place to internally track plant quality and ensure that we are ordering from the best farm for a given species. In addition, we are trying to encourage/educate those who order plants from us but have never ordered Easy Green or East Root Tabs to give them a try. Sure we love to sell those items, but we all know how important nutrients are for success growing plants. We want to make sure that each plant buyer is successful to avoid them 1) being discouraged and giving up on live plants and 2) minimize on reships of plants due to insufficient growing conditions. To be honest, I am surprised this small detail was noticed. Sharp eye, @David D 😃
  3. @Jason A. Yup, application received. I have a response back to the email address provided in the application. 😀 Not only am I named Randy, but I am from Stockton too. So this seems like a natural fit! lol
  4. @Jacob Hill are you able to make it all the way to checkout?
  5. Who is the Super Nerm going deep on 36 egg tumblers?? I love it! 🤪

    I am still here! Just hibernating for the winter. 🤣
  7. Wow! This feels like a "congrats" is in order as I have tried once before to breed mystery snails with no luck. I am curious to know which of your fish are picking off the smaller ones?
  8. I would have no reservations about adding a few nerites or a mystery snail at this point in your setup.
  9. Not sure to what extent but the air pump inherently gives off heat. Curious to know how much, if at all, it will increase the incoming air from the garage to the fish room to the tanks. That being said, if you run a circular pvc loop in the fish room the pvc will also be at the same temp as the insulated fish room. all this to say I think you should run some experiments and share your results 😆 👍⚗️🔬🧪🌡
  10. I am glad people are discovering the podcast! @mommygouramiregarding how I learned to interview? I don’t know. I did have a sales job for ~7 years. That did require me to listen to my customers to understand their needs. So maybe that? 😆 Also, here is a bonus “live” photo with the Corndog and I on our way back home from Peru.
  11. Best thread on the forum! 😂 Back at our hotel in Iquitos. Pizza for dinner then going to record a podcast episode with Cory and Dean.
  12. @Fish Folkwow! That was amazing! I am thrilled that you enjoy the podcast, this forum, and all things Co-Op! I hate to think of how many times you have heard me say "good times" 🤣
  13. They are doing well in both tanks! I am probably going to catch up a half-dozen or so and take to Cory's. Not sure if I will before or after Peru.
  14. Just one of the amazing bettas and a shot of one of Murphy's tankmate juruparis.
  15. Went to the Co-Op today to drop off some fish and pick up a few news one. Also had a chance to connect with @Robert. Took some photos and will post as I have them available.
  16. There is nothing quite like the feeling of brining home a ton of fish to fill up a tank!
  17. Hi Rome. Welcome and sweet crab pic!
  18. @Betsythis is amazing! Congrats to the meme winners!
  19. @Ben P. I have used both Sera Micron and Golden Pearls as the first food for several types of rainbow fry. For Golden Pearls I follow Gary Lange's recommendation of 5-50 micron size. More recently, all my rainbows have been started on Sera Micron. After about ~2 weeks I find they are large enough to start feeding baby brine shrimp. Edit: I forgot to say congrats on the first hatch!
  20. Proud first-time papa of some Neolamprologus multifasciatus!🥳. These were the ones that Ryan from Wild Fish Tanks had sent me a few months back. I decided to peek my head in on them as this tank is on the top rack with the substrate/bottom impossible to see unless on my tip-toes or ladder. I added more PVC "snail shells" at @Zenzo's advice. I was a little worried that I still didn't have enough. I will probably still add a bunch more to see if that sets the breeding off even more. You can see from the photos that they get fed BBS very heavily! (Note: Aquarium Co-Op Brine Shrimp of course! lol)
