So day before yesterday I couldn't find one of my dwarf peas in their 10G. I found it in the tank next to it with the platies and the guppies. It had to have jumped over 2". O_O Who knew that could jump? The lid is firmly on the tank now.

Simply Bettah has a video on making glass lids. -
Totally with you here, a huge school of Rummy Nosed Tetras or another colourful schooling tetra or similar fish in a large tank. Or a shoal of pearl scale koi Angels.

Cyndi she must have come pregnant. Mystery snails are either male or female and you would need a pair. Mine breed even when they are smaller, at less tha 1 yr old. She would lay an egg case at the waterline then the babies would hatch from there. If you do not want any more just take the cases away. I freeze mine to kill the embryos. I' d need to seeba picture of the babies to say if they are mystery snail babies. I put crushed coral in my tanks so there is enough calcium carbonate in the water for the babies and her shells to develop. They like celery and other vegertables. Parboil them first or nuke them for a short time to soften them. I sell my extras on Kijiji.

She sure is pretty spectacular Austen. 👍

I too would be interested in the answer. I know Corey touched on this during a recent livestream. We can not get dewormer for fish here in Canada either.

Welcome to the NERMhood Adam. Looking forward to seeing the progress on your 75. I'm Pamela. I started with a male Betta and a 1g tank. I now have 11 tanks between 2.5 and 55g with 14 different spieces of fish and 1 shrimp. All tanks are planted. No Co2. I found Corey through Mike at AquaPros and have been with him ever since. Just became a member. Lots of knowledgable members, great topics and tidbits of wisdom here. Enjoy!

Algae blob on my Float Christmas Moss Ball
bcflowerlady replied to Marc's topic in Plants, Algae, and Fertilizers
Hi Marc. That is blue green algae, which actually is a bacterial mat. Take the ball out and rinse/brush it all off. Blue green algae usually grows in stagnant areas. If there is good water flow it shouldn't regrow. Good luck! -
@Ben Ellison They prepare the area together and lay eggs but he just guards the eggs for a couple of days then eats them. Maybe that's why she is always hen pecking him.

Wow... Just looking at the surface of Google indicates they are supposed to be peaceful. I wonder if you just got the Vlad the Impaler version. Maybe try garlic? A wooden stake through the heart? Plastic floating fish suctioned to the bottom with line? Hope you find a tank mate.

@tmackenzie I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. They are an awesome little fish to have. -
@Cory @Ben Ellison I keep her in 55g. The only fish she bickers with is her male partner. It is a bit of a busy tank with 5 adult Dwarf Neon Rainbows, 2 juvenile Dennison Barbs, three adult Yoyo loaches, a breeding colony of Hillstreams and 3 Rummy Noses. Once my 14 female bettas in my 30g are quarantined I can move her in with them. That would be quieter. Or I can remove the male to a 35g male guppy tank immediately. Would removing her mate cause more or less stress I wonder?

I was able to listen to a live stream live for the first time as I was cleaning and changing the water in my 4-10g, 30g betta sorority and 55g med fish community tanks. Changed out a hang on back filter on one of the 10's to a bigger better version. I use my HOB for water polishing mostly though most have sponge, matrix media and floss in them. Just have my 2-3g shrimp tank and betta tank. Then the weekly routine is complete. Moved all my juvenile male guppies from the project tanks to the male guppy tank so the choice males can carry on. Did my 35g male guppy tank yesterday and my 20g tetra tank yesterday.

My female Angel Fish has a tumor on her gill. My research seems to indicate that causes for tumors are hard to diagnose other than thyroid tumors. From the pictures of thyroid tumors I don't think this is what it is. I have watched tumor removals on The Fish Doctors channel. Fish Vets are hard to come by. Anyone have any experience? How long do you think we have? Anything I can do to help her out?

Both Rachel O'Leary and The King of DYI have videos on how to build your own. If you can get course sponge that may be the way to go.
