one cherry shrimp got some stripes. is it pre-molting signs, some deficiencies in food or some other thing.

yeah, but I haven't found The answer yet. Yes probably a hitchhiker tubifex, but could it be black worms? Just fed some BW I bought from the LFS and there are similarities but these are way bigger. we are talking up to 16-17 cm ( 6-7 inch?). they don't really swim around, just crawl. Hmm.

found these curled up in the roots of a plant I was relocating. thought blood worms first when I saw their color but then they turned out to be very long, so nooo.... what do you think it is? Leeches or...???

I wonder what was said just before....

Looking at your aqua sky profile you run your red-light high. according to master aquatic horticulturist Bentley Pascoe, red tends to make plants grow tall. Check him out. hes got good videos on lighting.He made one video recently on the color spectrum and how it affected plants. good stuff. might be if you adjust your red lights the crinum maybe will slow down and "crinum up" some.
you also run high on the blue light. Blue tends to grow excess algae. If you take that down and you might see less of the algae.
good luck. keep us updated.

Regarding the thread "cereal substrate" on general discussion, Petco is not alone, or even the first trying that.
Fluval be trippin'??

I found out recently that the ones I enjoy the most are the otos. I would like a real big gang just hanging around in the tank doing their thing. seven at the moment but at least double that. the first thing I down I come home Is trying to find them all. Find them a little bit of a challenge, and I worry that they don't get enough food. When they slowly glide through the water together they look awesome!

The product I want is a digital water tester that could test all parameters/nutrients of the water. And was accurate without requiring constant calibration.
JBL has this water test that comes with a phone app. It reads you strip against the chart and gives you the parameters and additional advice to what you should do to correct the issue.

neither do I, really. Was more hoping for someone to share common experiences or have some insight to this behavior. It is a weird thing to do. I just wanted to know why it chose to do that. there must be a reason, right. Never mind.

Why would a fish (Emperor tetra) be hanging out in the outflow current, riding the flow when it has a swim bladder problem? For a couple of months now he's been swimming around the tank like a kid learning to swim. you know, head up high and almost vertical. he's been doing alright but I didn't expect him to last this long. These last days though he hangs in one spot just riding the current. Why? he doesn't have to stay there. is he joyriding or suicidal? It's just odd to me.

I actually got the 3.0 from a friend that bought it and decided not to use it. I bought it from him for a little less than half the price. I actually like the serene light better.
Im not saying you shouldn't buy it. people buy it for different reasons. Some are into tech-stuff, some like to get new stuff to play with. nothing wrong with that. but it is not an easy light and it is somewhat the latest hype and gets recommended a little too easily, I think.
-
why a fluval3.0? its expensive, complicated and often I feel, overkill. No, you do not need it. It´s kinda "the new cool thing”. Seems to me a lot of people ”need” it more for themselves than for the plants.
Led lights are good and energy efficient. plants will grow with light. why complicate things- Buy a light, not necessarily ”The Light”.
Easy plants - easy light - easy tank - easy life! - enjoy tinkering with your new tank.

Looks like a female guppy. Maybe any fry that have been produced have been eaten.
Cool dwarf anchor cat by the way.
Yeah, you might be right but you think you'd see one fry at least once in a while. never seen the big belly either, but it sure looks a lot like a guppy. Thanks!
-
got this hitchhiker fry early autumn, buying cherry shrimp. now it looks like this. Think it is female but..? is it a killi, a rainbow, something else? it is living with some guppy males so if it were a guppy i reckon there'd be fry by now so...anybody? Hoped I could get it some buddies.
its the grey "splotch" to the left, in front of the guppy.
appreciate any help you can give.

I use a Neptune Apex controller. Its pricey but it can also control as well as track parameters.
I see you control your nerm. You should really set your nerm free! Don't fight the nerm. Embrace the nerm, Daniel!
