Excellent! Black worms in the substrate can feed them for a long time.
About a week for mine lol still some stragglers left but not many after that

Also I forgot to mention I give them brine shrimp and black worms on a regular basis. Also micro worms for the fry.

I recommend buying plants from Aquarium Co-Op if you’re in U.S.
It still has the same risk imo despite their practices being much better than other places. Also I'm in Florida so certain plants may not make the trip so well.

Totally agree with @Fish FolkNeeds more floating plants. Mine love spawning in hornwort or bladderwort. This is where mine spawn.
And to agree with @Fish Folk again, these are hardy fish, but they need live food.

I have a hard time finding those around me and also have grown sceptical of buying new plants as every time I introduced new ones I seemed to get sick fish. I know quarantine them... No good excuse for not doing that other than impatient and was too trusting of the supplier.

Moooooooooooore plants! Fill up that water column. Also: live food is essential.
I'm definitely working on it lol it's a new scape so I gotta give it some time to grow in. Don't worry I used old aquasoil along with the wood and plants from other tanks so plenty of bb for this little tank. Also gonna be getting a nano hob to replace the crap internal filter. Been doing water change every other day too.

I think it looks great as is and when it grows in it will look pretty awesome. 🙂
Thanks a bunch! I appreciate your feedback!

Tyler, have you tried looking for a local fish club or perhaps a facebook group? Using the COOPs local club finder I see there are at least 2 clubs in Florida but am not sure where you are located. https://www.aquariumcoop.com/apps/store-locator
I think I've decided to go with imperial tropicals! They have a great price and offer local pickup 🙂

That’s going to be delightful when it grows in. I have tons of plants in all mine that grow great but i am a lousy scaper. Most of mine are stuck to the glass with suction cups or on a rock/log.....SO heaping tablespoon of salt but left corner behind the rock in front I always put something small in the front corners my inhabitants love to be in plants so it’s extra snooping ability for me ROFL
It most certainly will be delightful! All the plants were taken from my other tanks. They were massively overgrown so I figured I'd set up a new one 😂 no sense in wasting all the plants. I like the also I wanted to keep a certain amount of open space in the scape for my other ones seem kind of crowded with plants which isn't always a bad thing but gives me OCD sometimes and I have to walk away

Right now I have a crypt in the back left. I think it's a spiralis but I'm not certain. Also I have some pearl weed, an Amazon sword back right, narrow leaf java ferns all over, a couple windelov Java ferns to be placed still, and I'm not sure the red plant is I believe some type of ludwigia but I'm not sure on that one either.

-
Anyone in the central Florida area have cherry shrimps for sale or know where I can get some good ones reasonable price? Would like to get some local
-
Where should I put the last few plants? Any other suggestions? Leave them here or on YouTube 🙂

So great!!! I’ve got Elassoma Okefenokee fry I’m working with.
I'd love to get my hands on some of those! Maybe we could do an exchange at some point. I love that these species can be kept in small tanks and without a heater!

Nice. What species do you have there?
Elassoma Evergladei

So today I did a rehaul on my 20 long mostly cleaning up some plants and removing some that don't really fit in the scape. It's looking much cleaner now and more like a scale and not a knot of plants and roots lol

How does it take for them to reach breeding size
Daniel has posted the correct answer. He's been breeding them for much longer than me.

2 - 4 months in my experience.
Exactly that.

So a few months ago I started a bit of a journey with my first spawn as a fish keeper of elassoma Evergladei. They are now over six months old, parents have moved on to a new owner and now the offspring have started to produce fry of their own. Spotted one today while cleaning the tank.

Hello! I've been invited to this topic by derwood, I am the one selling the pygmy sunfish elassoma Evergladei. The parents were wild caught all my fry are tank bred. Very pretty and active little fish. The males do an adorable little dance to attract a mate. If anyone is interested in some, please dm me and we will set up an auction on aquabid specifically for you. I like to go through them just so there's a third party in the transaction and your not just leaving it to some random guy on the internet.

I built my own that does the lights, heat, monitoring over wifi, filter on/off (for feeding). But for just heat i think a lot of people here like the inkbird:

I wish I had the knowledge to build my own 😔

Seems like you have a lot of fish in the tank. Have you been testing for ammonia when they die? Also how frequently do you feed? Water parameters? Quarantine them before you added to community tank?

Yeah I had that syndrome too. I think the thing to understand is that these have a 100% chance of failing eventually. I adjust mine at a few degrees above what I want and then use a controller to actually turn the heater on and off. if my controller fails or the probe falls out or something the internal controller will kick in and my fish are just a bit warm. if the heater fails in the on-state, no problem my controller is taking care of it anyway. If the heater fails in the off-state, I'll notice when things get cold. 68-70f won't kill any of my fish, just make them mad at me. If I get around to adding the feature, I'll have my controller text me if something bad happens.
What kind of controller do you use?
Super interesting video about brine shrimp!
