whatever guppy that catches your eye can be a good breeding project. especially if you mix and match color strains, they can produce endless variations.

some people do get worked up about that kind of thing, but thats nature. she's a cruel one!

they are becoming semi common. im in mn, and remember when i was a kid in the 70's it was extremely rare to see one. as a kid i never saw turkey vultures, and now they are all over. many people have no idea eagles are just as much a scavenger as they are hunters.

find the balance that works for you. if you despise the work, and it feels like a job, change it up.

fact is, you just never know how long a piece of wood will take to sink. sometimes its a few days, sometimes a few months. when impatient, ive always used the screw a piece of slate to it to make it sink.

all bristlenose will get in and shove a bit when its feeding time, but feeding just once a week really isnt enough. im sure the bn and your cory gets what the other fish miss, but they likely could use a bit more food.

this is correct. ive always had a water softener, i also have tons of plants in my tanks. dont listen to old wives tales. the salt is only trace amounts, and it doesnt build up if you do water changes. now if you just add water to a tank, everything builds up, but if you do water changes the trace amount of salts in the water get removed with the change, but of course you put in more trace amounts of salt with the new water. ill double down on the salt nonsense, and tell you i add salt to my planted aquariums. not a ton, but more than any water softener is putting in the water.

have you actually tried shrimp in your water?

you sure can, guppies dont care about color. put a male, and female in the same tank, and they will get busy!

as someone who spent their youth bass fishing, 44 pounds just boggles the mind!😲

same era for sure.

agree, id do up to 40gallon tanks with a bucket, but after that you really need a python or something similar.

thats further south than i head for fish, but good to see there's another decent store around.

75g tanks are typically 48"wide.

it makes good, good sense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mine was yesterday.... not even a mention!😜

used to be all over the place, small stores here and there. there's twin cities guppies in maplewood mall i think. ive been there once, its small but nice. getting out of the area in richfield down by the airport is World of Fish, and thats a must see at least once, and there is or was one about a mile right down the road from them. i havent been down in many years, so who knows now.

drums, and an electric guitar would make a larger aquarium seem tolerable!!!😎
