  1. I’m going to give a shot this afternoon and see if I can get them.
  2. They are fast. I’ve been trying for a couple day to catch them lol
  3. Does anyone have any tricks for getting a bristlenose pleco out of a planted tank?? I have a male in one tank and a female in another. I’d like to pull them and put in a breeder tank, but I can’t catch them!! At this point it’s almost easier to get 2 new ones for the breeder tank lol
  4. Might be something to look in to… Ohh that might work
  5. Yeah I know! They work perfect in an aquarium.
  6. I was thinking of drilling holes in the tile and zip tying through the holes instead of using the suction cups. I’m hoping for an easier option though lol.
  7. Ok, I need some ideas. I have a couple Ziss Bubble Bio Moving Bed Filters I’d like to put outside in my container “ponds”. I’m having trouble with the suctions cups staying attached due to the shape of the tubs. I’ve tried propping up a floor tile and sticking the filter to it, but it keeps coming unstuck. Does anyone have any good tricks???
  8. Thanks. I feel the same way about it. My gut told me it’s hype.
  9. Does anybody have any thoughts on Dr. Bassleer’s fish food? There seems to be a lot of hype around it. I’ve tried it a couple times and the fish ate it just fine. I’m just wondering if it’s really good food or just hype??
  10. Thanks! I just want to make sure I do it right so they get paid what they should.
  11. I follow several people/companies on YouTube. Does anybody know how YouTube payments are made? Does the entire video need to be watched for it to be counted for payment? Do ads need to be watched? Do they get paid if we skip ads?
  12. Thanks everyone! Hopefully everything is ok this time. I’ll start blending in some hot water while it’s cold out.
  13. I always do water changes just using the cold side of the faucet. I live in south Louisiana so cold isn’t something we usually think about. It’s been pretty cold the past couple of weeks (for us anyway 🤣). After my water change I checked the temp and the tank was at 69. The tank is set for 78 degrees. The temp slowly came up the next hour or so until it returned to normal. Is this ok or should I be using hot water also? Thanks!
  14. Thanks. I do t have either of those tests. I might see if I can pick them up test kit for them. I’ve started dosing Easy carbon every other day. Is that what you do??
  15. Has Cory ever said why he doesn’t ship fish? I’m just curious. Cory and Aquarium co-op are one of the most respected businesses in the hobby, they would definitely get my business.
  16. Thanks. Sorry about the pea puffer tank. I was getting worried about high temps also. I’ve done a couple extra 25% water changes. water source is city water Is there anything else I should be sampling? ph - 7.2 ammonia - 0 nitrite - 0 nitrate - 20/40 TDS - 250 Gh - 215 kh - 125
  17. Thanks. We live in south Louisiana, so we’re always dealing with bad weather it seems. I had a generator that decided to crap out on me at the beginning of the storm. I’m looking in to a whole home generator which should help prevent this in the future.
  18. We lost power for 10 days after hurricane ida came through. I had some battery operated air bubblers so o was able to keep the fish alive. My filter and lights were off the entire time though. I’m getting algae everywhere now. I would’ve thought no light would’ve helped prevent algae?? The tank is moderately stocked and planted. I always keep nitrates under 40. I’ve stopped adding fertilizer since the algae started. Any advice? Thanks!
  19. About 6 months ago I cut a baby plant off the mother sword. After I did that the spike slowly died away. The mother is still growing and beautiful, but The spike still has not returned. Will another spike eventually grow, or did I mess it up by cutting it?
  20. Great, thanks! I have some wonder shells, I’ll throw one in and see what it does.
  21. Thanks. I guess that means I should be fine, right?
  22. I’m trying to see if the water in my guppy tank is hard enough for them. I’m not sure how the tds plays in to it though. Should I make any changes based on these results? Gh: 10 drops 179 ppm Kh: 4 drops 71.9 TDS: 247
  23. @Keeg I’ll try to get some better pics. I moved her in to a tub so it’s a lot harder to get pics now. God I hope it’s not callamanus. I’ve been hearing horror stories ever since I got in to the hobby!
