[Repashy & Guppies]

I actually don't like Repashy for my guppies. The main reason is that they like to feed at the top, and it takes them longer to figure out where the repashy is (on the bottom.) Don't get me wrong, they will find it eventually and they'll eat it. But I like floating foods (especially Bug Bites, Xtreme Krill, and the Xtreme spirulina) because it spreads throughout the tank and the little guys can have a chance to eat (the big ones often get in the way when feeding Repashy.) 

Will Repashy work? Yes. Could I feed it in a feeder or similar floating thing? Yes. But for me, flake food is easier, better distributed, and with an equally good outcome.

My favorite thing about Repashy is that it stays stable in the water for hours so they can feed on it for a long time. I do agree that it takes them a minute to find it though.

I use the community for my guppies and they love it!

[How to care for and how to breed bristlenose plecos?]

Just put a male and a female in a 20 gallon or larger and give them some caves and good food like algae and keep the water parameters good and they should breed for you.

["New" tank]

Can’t wait to see that aquarium!

[10 gallon plant tank]

I agree with @Colu. Most aquariums have algae problems at some point.

[Critique my Scape please!]

Looks good! I think once all the plants grow in it will look great!

[Stocking Wait Periods]

You could probably get away with putting them all in at the same time, but if you want to play it safe you could do it over two weeks.

[Help in confused]

You could also try doing 30 percent water changes every week until you get the nitrites and nitrates under control and I agree with @James Black about the fertilizer.

[GestalGal's First Fish Adventure]

That aquarium looks great!

[The Community Tank]

Get the Cory cats and don’t get any more fish would be my suggestion.

[Help/question]

If you want to get fry go for the three females and one male. If you don't want fry get the females. You still might get fry if the females were in the same tank as the males in the pet store though.

 

[What salt do you use to hatch Brine Shrimp?]

Nice setup @Streetwise

[What salt do you use to hatch Brine Shrimp?]

Just now, Schwack said:

I've used kosher salt in the past, but ended up picking up a pound of sea salt from the bulk section of a local market. They had it for under a dollar a pound. I didn't notice any marked difference in my hatches between the two.

The biggest difference has been swapping to coop brine shrimp. The eggs seem smaller/finer, almost powder-like, and I definitely end up with more casings floating at the top after 24 hours.

I just switched to the Co-op's brine shrimp eggs to! I Also noticed a much greater hatch rate.

[Hello from the Yoop!]

Those aquariums look gorgeous! Welcome to the forum!

[What salt do you use to hatch Brine Shrimp?]

I am wondering what kind of salt everyone uses to hatch brine shrimp. I have been using kosher salt with a pinch of baking soda but I was interested to see what everyone else uses and wondering if the salt I am using negatively affects the hatch. Thanks for any input!

[Rams spawning tonight]

Looking good @Fish Folk how do you collect the eggs from the substrate? Also where did you get those blackworms?

[1930s historically accurate planted aquarium]

It has been super cool to follow this thread! Keep up the good work!

[Breeding Corydoras]

@Fish Folkhas some videos on breeding corydoras and growing the fry in breeder boxes on youtube under the channel name Fish Folk.

[Brand New to the Hobby! Wow that escalated quickly]

Welcome to the forum and the fish addiction!

[What would you do with a 29g cube?]

How about some neolamprologus multifaciatus? That continue the theme of oddball/personality fish that you have. 

[Rams take bubbles to nest!]

@Fish Folkprobably knows the answer to your question.

[Stocking]

I second @Colu’s suggestion.

[Buying Odessa Barbs, PetCo or Select Aquatics?]

I have a 55 with green tiger barbs and Odessa barbs that I bought from petco. Once they settled into my water parameters they colored up nicely! I would suggest that you should get what you can afford. If you can get Greg Sage’s I would highly recommend it because they will be great quality! I hope this helps!

[LionKing Pride Rock Tank]

That is so cool! Good job!

Can’t wait to see how it goes!
