Maybe I should have posted on "Potential Aquarium Co-Op Products" Who would not want some Mr. Dean multi-purpose spray (it is lavender scented!).

It is the Hara jerdoni / Asian stone catfish / anchor catfish.

I've never seen them before either. my LFS brought them in this summer. I think they've been around a few years but plecos take their time as we know. Talking about rare! My LFS had these a few weeks ago. He said they are very rare. Ancistrus sp. Kiefner 2 he called them. Maybe a Christmas gift to myself. If there's any left.

Now I feel almost weird, cause I have spread out my Water changes over the week. Five tanks from Sunday to Thursday. I get some extra time with the tank of the day and it doesn't become so massive as if I should have done them all the same day. Also I feel it keeps me more in touch with the hobby. It is the thing (and the feeding) that keeps me connected. Water change and then some time enjoying the tank all nice and pearling (hopefully).

Reservoir Fish?
-
I find a test has its purpose. it can be helpful with a test value so you can follow the changes in your tank and on the test. How fast it increases or decreases in comparison to the changes you observe in the tank. A reference-point and how it develops. Might not be a general truth, but for a better understanding of your individual tanks development, it can be a good help, I believe.

You should also check out Bentley Pascoes youtube channel. He is currently doing a series called "the ultimate guide to the Fluval plant 3.0" and Bentley knows this stuff! Highly recommend.

Wow, that hard stare looks familiar. Is It possible? ?

This is the last one, cause I'm gonna go watch an old movie. Hmm, Maybe Reservoir Dogs!

could it be the light is too strong for the plant? is the tank new or has it been running for a while? read this about crypto Beckettii but it might apply here as well. "This plant is very sensitive to environmental changes and will take a long time (usually over a month) to establish in your tank, but is still one of the best crypts to keep in a tank. It is also a slow grower, but don’t try to keep it in strong light to accelerate growth or it may suffer from crypt melt in which it loses all its leaves when planted in a new tank, most likely due to a high nitrate concentration, sudden changes in its environment, or passing from living immersed to fully submerged. Most experienced aquarists suggest planting it in well-established tanks, which are a minimum of three months old. Freshly set aquariums have changing water chemistry and make it very hard for the C. Beckettii to adapt to its new habitat."

I found the article (www.theaquariumguide.com) "The Zekeri needs a lot of space and takes in most of the nutrients in the water, so you have to keep in mind not to plant it near sensitive plants, as the red tiger lotus produces a dangerous chemical that inhibits the growth of other plants." Perhaps that why my cryptos around it is smaller than the others.
-
I just wonder if anyone here have heard that the red tiger lotus produces a toxin to get rid off other plant around it so it can grow better. I think I read it somewhere online but not sure I got the right plant. Its not that important really but I'm just curious and it bugs me that I can't remember!

Question about Crinum Calamistratum
Blurb replied to Alesha's topic in Plants, Algae, and Fertilizers
This was about 18 month ago so..I usually run 10 hours and these lights were old T5 with 6500K. The plant grew huge and I had to break it up. I didn't use root feeders much then but the tank was well seasoned so it probably got a lot of nutrients through the substrate.

Question about Crinum Calamistratum
Blurb replied to Alesha's topic in Plants, Algae, and Fertilizers
A couple of times mine have produced flowers like these. It is a beautiful thing when it comes out of the water and opens up. Lasted about a week if I remember correctly.
