I think in the long term that can potentially wear the pump out quicker because the diaphragms are fighting each other to push the air, just something to consider.

Thats what I was hoping for too haha. At least I know they are happy and healthy

I picked up this pair from my LFS last week. I've never had Kribensis before. I have been kicking around an idea for a ten gallon build and they had this nice pair so I scooped them up. I put them in a holding tank on my fish rack until I can get their permanent tank up. I noticed the male seemingly guarding the opening to the cave. I thought "they can't have spawned already". Well I guess they won't be moving so soon now! 😃

That looks like an awesome tank! Welcome!

I would let it go until it gets dirty. I think it would be good to go then.

I have many of the old aquarium fish breeding books, from varies series and authors. I prefer those over searching the internet for techniques. I also like searching eBay for "aquarium book" and seeing what comes up. I've found a lot of cool old fish books that way. There are also a lot of TFH magazine full sets on eBay, I'm sure those would be fun to read through.

I added this pair into my spawning tank tonight. Almost immediately upon finding each other they were displaying spawning behavior. With any luck I should have some eggs tomorrow or the next day.

That's all I have too.

Probably just a 50% change and rinse the sponge. I treat these tanks like any other tank, keeping up with maintenance and water changes.

I run two 10 gallon tanks for quarantine with a sponge filter in each and a heater. The tanks are bare bottom with fake plants. I keep them running all the time and I keep the cycle going with a few Zebra Danios in each tank. When I get a group of fish in to quarantine I'll move the Danios to other tank or just leave them in.

They do make the "Hanna Checkers", a little more cost but its not a color read out

I live in Northern PA, our yearly low/high temperature can range from -27° to 100°F. I had to worry about my 110 gallon tank overheating in the summer before I had central air installed. I have a big T5 fixture on it which heats it up to around 80°F in the summer. With the AC on it holds at 80°F. It doesn't really cool off at night because of the water volume (with sump) and the 1/2 inch thick glass. In the winter I think it actually helps keep the living room warmer. During winter I've thought if I lose power and I think it'll be out a while, I'll duct tape blankets around the tank to keep heat in. New this year I have a 75 gallon tank that sits on cold outside wall. I'm considering getting a piece of insulation board to sit against the wall behind the tank, to block the cold wall.

Yeah its not bad once we dig out of 6 feet of snow 😆

I'm not sure exactly, a few months I assume.

I had an idea, I think it would be cool if Aquarium Co-op sold stickers featuring the logos of their "Brand Ambassadors"

I ended up finding a lot more fry in the tank after removing the mops. I moved them to my Dean inspired fry raising trays. They are starting to show some color now. I started feeding BBS this weekend as shown by orange bellies.

Ted Judy is making one in a video series in his channel right now. It looks really cool!

I have screen tops on my tank for jumpers. The screen is 1/8 wide and I was planning on setting the feeder right on the screen or center brace. I figure Xtreme Nano will fall through the screen no problem. If you have glass lids you can set it on the glass and cut a hole in plastic piece on back edge

I didn't have corals so it wasn't much more work than freshwater, just mixing the salt for water changes.

I was on the website chat most days, I think I still have the page bookmarked haha

It was one of the old Marineland Eclipse tanks with the filter built in under the lid, couldn't have been more than 5-8 gallons.

I had a saltwater nano tank growing up with a single Clownfish named Mr. Jones. I remember defrosting frozen brine shrimp every morning for him, lived many years.

Wow very cool to witness, thanks for sharing!
