Excited to see the new rescape

That yellow and black coloring he's developed on his finnage is beautiful, curios to know what is the specific name for this fish.

Welcome to the forums! This is a great place to learn and people are great at helping each other out. First you're going to want to create a post in the disease section of the forum where it will receive the proper attention. When you post there don't forget to include the water parameters for both of your tanks and photos of all the sick livestock. Good luck and you are already doing great as a fish parent learning from mistakes.

Those Daphnia eggs sound like a good idea now 😉

Welcome to the forum! I hope you enjoy being here and learning from all the great folks. 😀

I have loved reading this journal so far you have an engaging way of writing and inspire passion in the reader to keep our ecosystem's clear of invasive species. Keep up the good work 😀👍

To breed mine I first want to shout out @whitecloudDynasty for his help but he advised two pairs of male and female together which I placed in a five gallon filled with spawning mops and some water lettuce as floaters. I kept them in the in the five gallon tank feeding baby brine heavily for about two days but otherwise leaving them alone to do their thing. After about two days almost three I removed the adults and returned them to my show tank. After close to week I was able to see the fry hiding amongst the water lettuce. I was prepared for the fry to be tiny but not that tiny once I saw them I feed microworms and repashy powder and then finally gave them baby brine shrimp. My fry are still growing but are so cute. I hope your project is successful and keep us updated on the progress.

That is one beautiful pleco I love the orange color on the fins.

No not something specific but I find photos helpful in case there is something to see not that there always is but who knows

Do you have pictures of the pleco?

Honestly that is what they should be called rolls off the tongue nicely and makes me smile

I agree with the above comment but also a squeeze pump would only need to be squeezed until the water starts to flow through the tubing on its own. Three pumps on my pump is usually enough for me to get the water started.

@Colu

Looks like maybe a false julii corydora

I mean your parameters would be great for certain softwater species like wild bettas or keeping Caridina shrimp if you wanted to go down those routes. For snails though those water parameter are not ideal crushed coral works or seachem equilibrium
