  1. looks like what is normally called a ghost shrimp.
  2. crawfish can and will snatch anything they can get their claws on.
  3. air likes to take the path of least resistance. so in order to run multiple objects off the same pump takes multiple valves, and some fiddling to get things balanced out. for only a few small tanks, just run 1 pump per tank, life is easier that way.
  4. i dont think silicone will ever stick in water.
  5. if you like historical things, the USS Turner Joy is open as a museum in Bremerton.
  6. definately find where its coming from. i dont worry about the fish so much as they arent likely going to become a current path, you however can most definately become a path to ground if you stick your hand in a tank with electricity in it.
  7. if you resize your pictures, even a tiny amount it will show right side up. or so ive been told.
  8. repashy is supposed to be about like jello. well for me a very stiff jello( i do 1 part repashy to 3 parts hot water). you can also feed repashy powder straight into a tank for small fry, just dont use too much.
  9. has it at any time been near a male guppy? if so, 97.327% she's pregnant.
  10. to be honest, i do survival of the fittest. baby swordtails tend to do okay in a community tank. they will likely be fine where you have them for a week or two while they put on a little size.
  11. there is, for the most part its find something you have sitting in a drawer, and use that.
  12. from the pic, id say you are pretty close to correct doseage. plants look pretty good.
  13. you can make it in about anything you want. i mix it and leave the excess in like the cheap little 3x3x5 food containers, and pour it into the silicone mini ice cube trays. honestly you can put it in just about anything.
  14. ill double down, i use water softened water in my tanks, and i add salt to the tanks on top of that. never had an issue with my amanos doing this, nor my fish, nor my plants. pretty much every animal on the face of the earth needs some salt in its diet. co-op Cory uses tons of crushed coral, anybody want to guess how much salt is in coral? i dont know the answer, but its more than what a water softener is putting in your water. if you cant taste the salt in your tap water (you should not be able to, if you can, something is wrong with your softener) its not enough to bother anything.
  15. how big of a tank, and how much are you dosing, and how many hours of light per day?
  16. looks like you may have gotten a defective one. id contact co-op customer service. i can almost guarantee they will take care of it.
  17. it happens, it sucks, and its like a gut punch. almost 30 years straight of keeping fish, and it finally happened to me about 4 years ago. it hurt bad, but i got over it, and got the tank healthy again.
  18. did that on the side panel of my 120. ive been looking at those scratches for more than 20 years.
