    Yes, with the Scarlet Temple you can trim and replant the trimmings. Same with the moneywort.

    But you may be the creator (if the female wasn't already pregnant 🙂). Female Endlers don't show the colorful tail pattern like the one in photo above, so she isn't an Endler, but the male is.

    It looks like a tiger Endler.

    The male undulates and flicks to the nearby female and leads her into his nest. There she snacks on a few eggs but also lays a few eggs. He vibrates with ecstasy as he fertilizes the eggs she deposits. After she leaves he continues to vibrate.

    I have good luck with just about any substrate I used with Corydoras and that also seems to be the general consensus in this thread: Barbel issues are usually related to general aquarium health and the types of food fed and not so much whether it is sand or gravel.
  6. Daniel
    Yes it it. I post videos there so I can upload them to the forum.

    I have many fish like my Apistogramma and pygmy sunfish who like to hide under leaves or use them for refuge. I don't have any shrimp in the angelfish tank in the photo above, I just added the leaves as a form of mellow water conditioning.

    I did not know that. Just goes to show you can learn something new on the forum every day!

    That looks more like Anubias with a piece of rhizome, but if it is an 8 inch vine, that sounds like pothos.
  10. Daniel
    My guess is yes, they seem really durable and tough.

    Lots of discussion of scheduling, light cycles and algae control on this thread about Fluval plant lighting:

    Could be pothos?

    Have you added plants to your tank? I have inadvertently moved zebra danios eggs by moving plants. This video was shot when they were much bigger, but when I first noticed them, they were small and blue like yours.

    My most exotic honey bees are pure bred Caucasians I got from Dr. Walter Sheppard at Washington State University. I also keep Carniolians and Italians and mutts. I do a bit of breeding and I am working on developing a line adapted to local conditions here in central North Carolina. Honey bees are just like tropical fish with internet advice not always being reliable. The internet will tell you that you cannot have 2 queens in one hive. Here is a photo from my observation hive last year. They are mother and daughter.

    Me either.🙂

    And you can super glue Anubias to just about anything with little or harm to the Anubias.

    I use a lot of reverse osmosis water in my biggest aquarium. The big aquarium is where I get all my water change water from. So in those aquariums that have livebearers I throw in a piece of Wonder-Shell to keep some amount of hardness in the water that wouldn't otherwise be there. Because it takes little work or thought on my part and just slowly dissolves over time it fits my style of fishkeeping. I haven't done any testing, and it isn't automatic either, just instinct.

    There was frost on top of my beehives this morning. I loved the patterning on some of the hives.

    I use leaves from my yard. In this photo the leaves appear to be tulip poplar, oak, beech and maple. I don't usually check to see what the leaves are, I just take whatever is available.

    Cory would change up the aquarium from time to time to keep the aquarium interesting, so eventually the tiger barb, clown loach, etc. arrangement was changed. But the big change is that he moved the location of the aquarium from his old house to a house he has just purchased. I believe he is still in the process of resetting up the 800 gallon.

    @Irene had a very good video on this:

    There are other forums?

    Tiger barbs can be aggressive towards other species of fish usually in the form of fin nipping, but not so much that tiger barbs cannot be kept in a community aquarium. @Alesha keeps green tiger barbs in a community aquarium with guppies. Like discus and other many other species of fish, tiger barbs are hierarchical, meaning there are dominant fish and subdominant fish. If there are only a handful of tiger barbs the dominant fish's aggression can be more intense as there are only a few subordinates. But when there are larger schools, and 800 tiger barbs are a very large school, the actions of the dominant tiger barbs are spread widely over a very large number of fish which very much mitigates any aggression. We all watched Cory's community 800 gallon tank over time and I don't recall any problems with tiger barb aggression or tiger barbs killing each other off. Fortunately all of this is well documented over time with the videos posted on the Aquarium Co-Op channel so this is extremely easy to verify if anyone is skeptical about this.

    Worm ID?
