    The work you are doing is much appreciated!

    Not much has changed since 1936 when I first posted (thumb tacked actually) this advice on the Aquarium Co-Op's wood framed cork bulletin board:

    Worry less and enjoy more.

    My theory is not to have overly high expectations from inexpensive test kits. If it close that's okay. What I really want is for the test to be consistent so I can track changes over time. Whatever the colors on the printed chart my main goal is to see trends over time. By consistently photographing the test results in the same place and the same light from the same angle, no matter what the 'accuracy', the precision of the readings would be tight enough to see if the parameter was going up, down or staying the same.

    Is your algae the furry black beard algae?

    Yes, Robert at Aquarium Co-Op regularly posts fish that have just arrived at the Aquarium Co-Op retail store.

    There are some pretty good reviews on Amazon sometimes, here is one for the Nexus Silent Wired Mouse SM-8500:

    Might be thrips

    Not in my experience. I grow a lot of Grammarus (scuds) in this little pool in my backyard. This pool has a variety of aquarium plants, but the Grammarus live and feed mainly inside several dozen plastic dishwashing fluff balls (not sure what else to call them).

    For me cherry shrimp have been the easiest. They tolerate a very wide range of temperatures from being in a discus aquarium to being outside year round (even under ice). And the volume of their breeding seems proportional to the volume of their feeding.

    Newly free swimming Betta fry are on the small side, too small to eat newly hatched baby brine shrimp. But, if you follow @Fish Folk's advice, you will be okay. In a well established aquarium with plenty of plants there are always lots of rotifers and paramecium and such. This will get some of the Betta fry up to the point where they can eat baby brine shrimp. If space is a problem you very likely do not want a high survival rate of the fry anyway. Having a few dozen new bettas might be better than having a couple of hundred new bettas. I look forward to following your progress on this.

    That last fish is a leucistic Oscar, so all the dark colors that are usually there are mostly gone.

    It stands for 'out of reactions' for the day, meaning they would have preferred to give you a like, but that they had already used theirs up, hence ORD.

    I have a lot Sagittaria that grows in the creek in my backyard. I think there are about 2 dozens different species of Sagittaria that grow in my state (North Carolina). Our aquarium dwarf Sagittaria, Sagittaria subulata, is found naturally from Massachusetts to Florida and west to Alabama. This sag in my creek was about knee high before getting knocked back by a 22°F hard frost a couple of mornings ago: Smallness in the genus is a relative thing, and every other member of this genus is huge compared to Sagittaria subulata which is why it goes by the name of 'Dwarf Sagittaria'. In my angelfish breeding aquariums, the plants produced from runners (in the foreground) stay reasonably short.

    Anything labeled as a horticultural 'grow light' should do.

    Goldfish were the bomb early on.

    If the Aquarium Co-Op is on the Seattle Water System (which I believe derives a significant amount of its water from snow melt) then the Aquarium Co-Op's would be similar to RO water right out of the tap.

    I think that as long as the space station was not Canadian that there would be chance of getting C.A.R.E. package shipped.

    I agree with @Colu Vorticella looks fluffy but reacts to stimulus.

    Sometimes when you get to bottom of a CO2 tank the last part will all whoosh out at once. If this is what happened, then it would have suffocated your fish. This also would account for the CO2 tank being empty. Better quality regulators can guard against this.

    The Iwaki use is sealed with a magnetic impeller and can develop 17.7 feet of head. No sure about running underwater:

    Personally I try and use them within a few hours of hatching because they are still a good part yolk sac. But they will live indefinitely and even grow to adults if you feed them.

    Nice symmetry!
