How Much Filtration Do Plants Add?
Eric W-Farmhouse Fish Room replied to FLFishChik's topic in General Discussion
Don't have much to add, except that I'll agree filtration tends to get overblown. A well seasoned tank, especially a well seasoned planted tank, does not need as much as you think it does (in my opinion). FWIW, your tank looks great! Keep it up! -
Rescued Clown loach rehab, will update
Eric W-Farmhouse Fish Room replied to Brainsponge's topic in General Discussion
You're doing good work! Agree with others about possible parasites, but so many bottom feeders just end up neglected without people realizing it. Gotta make sure they get food on the bottom that they can eat. -
Brine shrimp - solo aquarium owner
Eric W-Farmhouse Fish Room replied to Flumpweesel's topic in General Discussion
Just came up from feeding bbs after not hatching for a while. It brings me extra enjoyment and the fish go nuts for it. Start small. I used 20oz soda bottles for a long time and it worked fine. I have the Ziss hatchery now. It's okay, but not a game changer in my opinion. Totally your call, but you can get into it with minimal investment and I think it's a good addition to the hobby. I do have 9 tanks, but it's just a matter of scale. -
Debut of my 75 gal - Need stocking Ideas
Eric W-Farmhouse Fish Room replied to Janelle's topic in General Discussion
Looks great! -
It's a great question. I wonder if some of this stuff is in foods as well, particularly when feeding live or frozen. I never saw any sort of detritus worm or leech or anything like that until I started feeding live baby brine and frozen baby brine / bloodworms. Of course I did not start feeding those things until I got MTS and a lot more fish, so it is possible I'm just experiencing the law of probabilities.

Dominant Male Praecox?
Eric W-Farmhouse Fish Room replied to Eric W-Farmhouse Fish Room's topic in General Discussion
I feel like have seen stripes in other varieties before, but not in these. I would not think it was ALWAYS indicative of a hybrid. Regardless, all of my others are the iridescent blue that is typical. Where's @Bob when you need him? His videos are what got me into rainbows to start with. -
I've had 6 Praecox (Dwarf Neon) Rainbows for quite a while now. Ended up with all males. Have this guy that is quite a bit larger than the others and always has a pronounced horizontal stripe. I assume this is just the dominant male (as opposed to a different species or hybrid), but this is my first time keeping them and I've never seen one quite so large or with that dark stripe. Looking at picking up some females and trying to spawn, so I wanted to make sure. Thanks in advance.

My next order will be the linear piston pump. Just got a busted weld repaired on my gladiator rack which means its time to set all that back up starting tomorrow, and I wan to do it right. Will be glad to have everything organized and better maintained again.

Troubleshooting USB air pump?
Eric W-Farmhouse Fish Room replied to Kelly S's topic in General Discussion
I've had the same issue where I've had to tap mine on something to get it going again. I still use it for temporary stuff, but would not trust it for anything too important. Have lost a couple of batches of brine shrimp as a result. Great product when it works though! -

I visited the Georgia Aquarium yesterday.
Eric W-Farmhouse Fish Room replied to RobertE's topic in General Discussion
The Georgia Aquarium is on my bucket list. Thus far, my favorite has probably been the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga, TN. They've got a great setup there.- 12 replies

Hello from West Virginia
Eric W-Farmhouse Fish Room replied to Bev C's topic in Introductions & Greetings
Keep in mind fish often travel for days from the other side of the world before they're available at your local fish seller. I'm also sure they get handled kind of rough along the way. A 1-2 hour drive should not be an issue so long as the fish are healthy and handled properly. -
Hello from West Virginia
Eric W-Farmhouse Fish Room replied to Bev C's topic in Introductions & Greetings
Welcome to the forum! I understand what its like to live a long way from fish stores. Takes some extra effort, but road trips are always fun anyway, right? I don't expect you'll regret switching to live plants. They really add some next level fun to the hobby and make for beautiful, more natural aquariums. Good luck! -
