Consumed by the aquarium, most likely

I had a 125 a few years back and it was as easy to work on as a 75. However, I despised working on the 90 gallon planted. It was beyond annoying. Hope this helps

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family as well.

In my experience, Flowerhorns have the best personality, just a ton of fun. However they can only be kept alone.

@Brainsponge 100% If you go that route, Tractor Supply has another brand Tuff Stuff that comes in 40 gallon and 110. They’re cheaper and house everything with no problems whatsoever. If you want to go the 300 gallon route then the Rubbermaid is the way to go. I have both and love them both, but 300 gallons is 300 gallons.

They’re beautiful. Good luck with them. I have fancy goldfish and they’re way too fragile. You get the best of both worlds, beautiful goldfish and sturdy as a tank.

What I used to do was move the 150 stock pond indoors. When it got a bit warmer, I moved it back outdoors. I was lucky enough to have the room to do so. If you can figure something out like this then you only have to buy once. Although having an extra tank is always convenient. 😎

@Colu @Patrick_G @nabokovfan87 that’s basically the conclusion I came to as well. I just needed it stamped. The Endlers will go into an open 29 and the pseudo and lf wcmm will be in the 40breeder. Thanks again, Manny

Multies by far.

Hello all, So I have a bit of a poll question. Here is my predicament. I have a planted 40 breeder. It houses a dozen Pseudomugil Gertrudae Aru 2, a dozen long fin white clouds, and a long fin green dragon bn pleco. In a separate 10 gallon I have a mini colony of Staeck Endlers. Should I have them join the 40 breeder community? Or do you think it would look too crowded? Any and all feedback is appreciated.

Hypothetically, if I were in your shoes, I’d either purchase Neolamprologus Multifasciata or any Pseudomugil species that catches your eye (for me, it’s Gertrudea Aru 2). If you want to have to put some effort into getting babies, then go for the rainbows. If you just want to basically set it and forget it, go with the shellies. The aquascape can’t be too intricate because the shellies are also interior decorators. They bulldoze the sand in the most fantastic way. Just toss 2-3 easy planters with some Java fern and it’s good to go. Good luck!

1- Melanotaenia Trifasciata Goyder River 2- Pseudomugil Gertrudea Aru 2 3- Neolamprologus Multifasciata

Imagine tucking in a child, that’s what you want to do to that bulb. Place it on the substrate and push down slightly. Push substrate onto just the perimeter of the bulb while keeping 1 finger on the bulb so it doesn’t float away. You’re tucking it into the substrate. Give it a couple of weeks and you should start seeing things happen. Hope this helps.

Sort of looks like a coral red pencilfish, but I’m pretty sure that’s not it.

Why isn’t this teacher asking if anyone in the class has experience with keeping aquariums? Seems like they need all the help they can get.

It kind of depends on the size of the aquarium.

@rollxr you could keep them in there, but they are highly active fish so I wouldn’t keep them in anything less than 36” across. If we’re sticking to livebearers in a 20, I’d go with guppies or endlers.

@rollxr Technically you shouldn’t have a problem temporarily. As they breed, they’ll fill that 20 in no time. Personally I’d only keep mollies in something 36” across as a minimum.

Here is my little pipsqueak Kaliope. She loves helping me with our little pipsqueaks.

@Fish Folk that’s the guy. It intrigued me so I tossed some into my goldfish pond and my livebearer pond, so let’s see what happens.

I was cruising YouTube the other day and saw a hobbyist/farm saying he has been cutting up and tossing aloe in his aquariums for years. It’s supposed to be soothing and calming. Now I know that aloe is used in some products we use, but I didn’t know you could toss an aloe branch in the there (skinning 1 side), and let it do it’s thing. Anyone have any experienced with that? Thank you

Activ Flora lake gems is lighter but not super light. It gives off a grey/beige. They also make a lighter substrate. It’s awesome for plants, looks fantastic, and shrimp will love the nooks and cranny’s.

I once stood too close to a molly and I got pregnant.

All mosses tend to do better with any algae issues if they have a bit of flow.

Personally, I’ve always preferred ecocomplete simply because I’m lazy and I dig the look. I have a dozen or so panda Cory’s and they seem happy and healthy. However, I’ve always wanted an alternative that wasn’t sand, but was just as comfy for any bottom dwellers. I came across a bag of Activ-Flora and it caught my eye. I decided to use 4 bags of it for a 40 breeder I just obtained. After a week, this has been my experience. Pro’s: -It comes in a variety of colors and they all look supremely natural and aesthetically soothing. -It comes in black. -I purchased the Lake Gems variety and I love it. -It’s newly planted so I don’t how well it will facilitate growth. It is an array of sizes, my assumption is that it will be just fine. Some easy green and root tabs and it’ll be full in no time. Cons: - It will cloud your water. My water has been cloudy since set up. I may throw some filter floss around a sponge, but since there are no inhabitants, I don’t mind very much. I highly recommend it and from a past live stream, @Cory mentioned that it’s what the staff at the store recommends to people. Hope this helps.
