  1. sounds like an ok plan, other than the water change. stick with 20-30% water change. nothing good comes from huge water changes.
  2. my amano shrimp are slightly better about eating bba, but the cherry's will nibble on it some.
  3. i think i see the problem with this set up, its got an odd number. you cant successfully breed fish with an odd number, better get 3 more so that you have a nice even 20.
  4. adding outlets in the garage with a fish room in mind, id make the first one a ground fault outlet. are you adding on to an existing string of outlets, or running from the breaker box?
  5. just be mindful, lots of bad things can grow on an evaporation coil. i myself would be hesitant to use it in a fish tank.
  6. agree. the only thing from wardley i use, and everything in the tank eats them.
  7. aww heck we're close enough. here's some classy xmas music!!!😎
  8. in an ideal world, you would within a few generations outcross. what you do, depends on how serious you take it, and how much room and how many tanks you have. most people who want one nice strain, and dont have tons of tanks will just continually cull the ones with undesireable traits.
  9. the python hose is high quality. mine is about 25 years old, hose is still good. ive broken a few fittings over the years, like 2 or 3 fittings, but the python is quality. buy once, cry once.
  10. sponge filters seem to work well with shrimp. small or nano co-op size should do fine in a 10g.
  11. small amounts, multiple times a day. pretty much any food will work as long as you crush it up for them.
  12. we all do it. in planted tanks, it can take many attempts at counting to get a close number.
  13. i have a friend who made his own. he bought stuff for filling and draining water beds. it was back then cheaper than buying a python.
  14. you need to feed the otto's better. they arent getting enough food, so they are eating the plant.
  15. looking at the photo, odds are that guppy is pregnant. any time a male and female guppy reside in the same tank, odds are good. however it doesnt look likes she is anywhere close to giving birth. like said above though, they sometimes dont show a lot, but usually the abdomen will square off a bit when they start getting close.
  16. dim or not, it really doesnt take too much blue light.
  17. the co-op sponges are a very open cell structure. you would have to really neglect one for it to get blocked up enough to harm your filter.
