@face totally agree with you.

I don't know how you cycled your aquarium but 2 weeks normally isn't long enough unless you jump start your filter with seeded media from an established aquarium. I suggest staying consistent with the water changes.

@NickD what's the temperature of the aquarium during the day? If the temperature is ok for the fish you have I suggest placing a dark background on the aquarium to block the daylight.

Is driftwood hard to keep in aquarium?
Tlindsey replied to Whitecloud09's topic in General Discussion
@face I should have stated dry dead leaves. I wait until fall here in Ohio before I collect them. -

You can boil the leaves to rid some of the tannins if you like. -

Not all but leaves from hardwood trees like Oak, and Maple are safe imo. Just make sure you collect them from areas that don't get fertilized. -

I personally have dead oak tree limbs and small stump in one of my aquariums. I collected this from my backyard. The backyard is part of a Metro Park. I've collected dead Oak leaves also for the aquarium. I definitely recommend aquascaping native setups with the leaves and wood. Here is a pic with a small stump and a few oak leaves. https://photos.app.goo.gl/TCDUjWRuCaWbpg2m7 -
Has anyone tried this product. I recently purchased it. Fed very minimal amount to my pipefish and I believe one ate a few 😆 The only downside just too much so placed in the freezer after opening.

Tlindsey replied to Whitecloud09's topic in General Discussion
Yes I would place the new cartridge in front of old. You may have enough beneficial bacteria in your filter to not affect anything. You can buy cut to fit pads. That's what I did. -

Yes I agree It saves you money. -
@Gideyon There are sponge filters for a 5 gallon. If glass gets scratched the scratch will be permanent.

@Ohio FishPlant Dude I think you should commend yourself. Ten years for a small tetra is rare. Great job giving that long life.

@Rosi fortunately no cat hair found in the aquarium 😅

@MN Mom If you put a pair in your aquarium and they spawned they will chase and defend the eggs, wigglers, and free-swimming fry.

@Rosi The aquarium tops will come with plastic inserts. The inserts can be cut to size for the hob filter and wires.

@Rosi glass tops definitely will work. I personally have a cat and caught it on top without issues. Also have a topless aquarium and cat drinks out it lol.

@mountaintoppufferkeeper Wow! I thought the Rainbow Darter were beautiful. That's one beautiful Darter. Thanks for sharing.

@mountaintoppufferkeeper that's awesome!!! I personally have Doryichthys Martensii and they are doing well. I will be following your journey with the Enneacampus Ansorgi pipefish.

I would remove the clawed frog and place in a tote. It's the biggest contributor to the bioload with the feeding of the worms.

@anodyne99 I just store flake food in dry area of my home. Yes if Brine Shrimp hasn't thawed out you could place it back into package container. If you like place cut piece of frozen brine in a freezer bag.
