  1. What I see is a healthy ecosystem with detritus worms, snails, and cyclops. Parasites are rarely observed separate from their hosts. Your photos look just like what my cherry shrimp tanks look like, that is full of life because there is no top predator like a fish to graze on everything.
  2. These are called cyclops. They are a good thing to have in an aquarium. The are mostly treasured by fishkeepers as one of the choicest of live fishfoods available. Are these the 'parasites'?
  3. Here is a 'Snowy Lakes Caddis Fly Larva' Looks similar. Here is the lifecycle of caddisflies:
  4. Yes, sometimes I don't even understand what I say.🙂
  5. I just found this one while looking for pond related photos. I like the 3 different layers of the water, the earth (me photographing), and the sky.
  6. As shallow as 2 feet for the large aquarium overflow pond that has cherry shrimp year round: Up to 4 feet deep on the bigger one with rice fish and Daphnia in it. Before rice fish: After rice fish: Daphnia:
  7. Snip some off and photograph it outside of the aquarium.
  8. @MDoc you might be persuading me over to Ludwigia. 🙂
  9. Not the kind your thinking of. For me it is mainly just using the sun to grow a lot of hornwort.
  10. Maybe Hyphessobrycon rosaceus the Rosy tetra?
  11. Try uploading your photo directly. @Lizzie Block has good instructions on this:
  12. I have photos somewhere of my wife and youngest son both inside my 500 gallon aquarium changing out the substrate.
  13. The adjustable nozzles on the recirculation returns are called Loc Line and look like this.
  14. I don't have powered filtration, aeration, etc in my ponds and I am happy with them. Admittedly, I do have a low threshold for happiness.
  15. Just saw this one in another thread on Indian Almond Leaves:
  16. When I start a new tank, it is always with the water from an established aquarium and plants from an established aquarium. For me that seems to bring enough beneficial bacteria so that the new aquarium can support fish from day one.
  17. I love that book, it was one the first books I had. Dr. William T. Innes also had another popular book 'The Complete Aquarium Book' that I have uploaded to the files section of the forum. Here is the link: It is funny how little has changed since the 1930s.

    Corries

    I think you might be on to the real answer. Like, if she were to eat a hearty diet of something rich and nutritious like live blackworms, then her eggs might mature and then she might be more receptive.
  19. I got in big trouble for bringing a copperhead to class in 5th grade. The science teacher put it in a 10 gallon aquarium with a screen top and killed it by pouring formaldehyde on it.
