  1. assassin snails are pretty good at eliminating pest snails.
  2. welcome aboard, and your scaping looks fantastic.
  3. my guess is they were originally the exact same species, but due to separation, and time they slowly changed to meet their environment and became still the same but visibly distinctive. its kind of like comparing white tailed deer in florida to the ones in MN, the fla ones run around 100# or less, and the ones in MN can go well over 200, yet are the same animal. just my theory, and with that i have no problem crossing guppy's, and endlers.
  4. its one way to help keep numbers in check. happens all the time in many community tanks all on its own.
  5. thats a lot of diapers to change!😜
  6. i dont know if it is the best fertilizer, but it is a good all around fert at a fair price.
  7. guppy fry are easy, just crush up really fine whatever you feed the adults.
  8. you have to look at it like a rock chip in your windshield. we have all seen a good rock chip that never grew, and we have all seen ones that were fine for a few months, then it split all over the windshield. sadly it was a nice tank, but never worth the risk where it can cause damage.
  9. im not so worried about the left edge there with the silicone, but more the right hand side where the chip is splintering out. i would be very leery of that tank.
  10. thats awesome, i get them rarely, and usually only find 1 that makes it.
  11. ill be the devils advocate here. pretty much every living things needs a small amount of salt in its system to function. now i dont advocate going crazy, but a half to full tablespoon of salt for 20/30 gallons or more is not a bad thing (now to really fire people up, yes thats way more than any water softener will ever induce). a tiny bit is good for things imo, and when dosed in higher quantities, its still a good medication.😈
  12. looks like the start of fin rot. dose some salt.
  13. the bypass valve will be on the softeners head, so it will bypass everything. as for the hot water, you would have to run out all the water from the water heater, that would be nuts, but the rest of your pipes just run it for a minute or two.
  14. those are mollies, every day of the week, and twice on sunday! not even questionable.
  15. left yer lens cap on. idk! 🙈
  16. nothing but clouds yesterday, but i did see the one in 1977! back then we had a sheet of paper with a pencil hole to look through.
  17. you have in addition to the gravel, bacteria on the glass, on the plants, in/on the filter, and on any decorations you are keeping. for the 2 goldies i see, you will be fine.
  18. its a lot of work to maintain a strain really well, but i dont think you need 8-10 tanks. a few tanks yes, because over time you will want to cross them back against each other .
