  1. My mentality when I got my first tank this xmas 2020. Was this.. Ive waited 33 years to finally get a fish tank... I can wait 2 weeks to cycle a tank and make sure all is well. Now I have 7 planted tanks and I dont know how many fish..MTS BAD! Lol worked for me. One day you'll wake up and it'll be clear. Small water changes if any.
  2. Patience, It will clear no need for purigen imo. But that might help. I would keep the used media in. Mabeye do a thin layer of sand to cap your substrate. And just do some 25% water changes or more every day until it clears. Or just give it time and add some poly fill to your filter media cheap and gets all the fine particles out. just make sure 100% polyester no fragrance. But i think time is all that's needed really. 🙂 good luck
  3. Here's my tank all live plants with a female half moon betta named Mimi. Ember tetra and black neons. Salt and pepper cats and a neon goby..hes in there somewhere I know it!
  4. Ok its a shrimp parasite but i have no shrimps? I do have snails that came from a shrimp tank at petco. I used to have shrimp like 4 momths ago but they died, mabeye it came from that? Either way it appears to be vorticella. I just read a good article. Apparently pimafix , aquarium salt ,ich x and ,Indian almomd leaves are all effective at killing it. And guppies supposedly eat it. So I'm going with pimafix almomd leaves and endlers live bearers because i have them. I have plants and dont use salt anymore. I habe ich x too that'll be secind option. We shall see what happens.
  5. Strange jelly fish looking white stuff sticks to EVERYTHING! no idea what it is. I cant find anything that identifies it . Almost like little jelly trees,they have a trunk like thing then it rounds off like the top of a jelly fish. Anyone have this in thier tank. Is it Harmful? Im stumped
  6. I wouldn't stock anymore until you have a quarantine tank setup. get another 10 gallon used somewhere cheap and get it cycled. when its ready, get your new fish, put in the quarantine tank ,medicate them and observe for a couple weeks. If all look healthy go ahead and add to your main tank. Nomatter where you get your fish from they could have potential sickness some won't show up for couple months. best to medicate and give your fish a better chance. check out corys video on this topic. i do this to all my fish no problems since. Hope it helps good luck.
  7. I've had the same success with golden wonder kilifish.
  8. Wow. Awesome advice, ill check the video out. Thanks.
  9. 😓 Great now i need to explain to my wife why i need to buy 60 more aquarium plants..Nice knowing ya.
  10. Cycling my new 29 long. Im loving me one big school of Rummynose tetra. or celestial pearl danios. Whats the max # of those you would put in a 29? i know one inch per gallon blah blah...😏 any exception to that rule with more frequent water changes, planted tank? Other species ideas? One big fish? One tetra school, cichlids, discus? Talk to me
  11. I have a 20 long with 4 female betta, 9 neon tetra, and 6 zebra danio. I use just one medium sponge filter and take the plastic tubing off the top. Having bettas LOW FLOW is a must, so No HOB for me, works fine, waters clear. (Medium is a little tall for the 20 long), but id rather use one medium sponge filter than two small ones. Id say go with your personal preference. A small or nano sf would definitely have a much lower profile and hide easily behind plants. But you would need two of them, or one small sf and one nano hob filter in addition would be fine.
  12. I have one badass and he eats frozen baby brine shrimp and i mix in Easy Fry and small fish food from aq.coop every few days. gobbles it up.
  13. Update on the sorority: I removed one highly aggressive girl she kept going from fish to fish attacking, and moved her in my community 29 gallon. She's chilled out with 5 bigger golden wonder kilifish, fat ms. molly, and 5 corys. unfortunately one betta swam to the bottom of tank and didn't move much in the sorority. she died the next day.?? and another looked like its gut was hanging out all the sudden??she died as well. So there are 4 blue bettas in there now. They chase each other once in a while but no actual fighting. So id say i was mostly successful. Mabeye ill add one more betta to make it 5 and some neon tetras or something in the 20 long.There were some black neon tetras that looked cool i saw the other day. Any suggestions?
  14. I got easy green, iron, carbon , and seachem products pot. phosphates, micronutrients to give an extra boost if need be. Just started dosing extra , so we will see what happens. my crypt looks good after two weeks. Mabeye some of melted plants will come back i didn't rip any out for that reason.
