  1. Can't believe I haven't spent more time on the forum these past two years. Just updating this post with new pictures of my tanks, mostly for myself. 

    My 40 breeder, which can be viewed from 3 sides! This is my only high-tech setup.

    My tall 45 by the window, complete with no background (Cory's favorite) and lava rock/crushed coral substrate.

    My bedroom 20 long with a whole mess of plants

    And finally, the other 20 long - the "galaxy tank"

  2. Thanks for your response! It's always a relief to know it's not me! 

    I will definitely order from AquaHuna only in the future!! 

    I just watched 1 more of the petsmart neons perish since my original post. I guess I can just let them... die off (or should I euthanize them?) and then introduce the Aquahuna fish into the big tank after that happens? Too bad Petsmart policy is you only have 14 days after purchase to get credit for any losses. Maybe if I go up there with my water sample, pics of the red-gilled fish,  and pics of my other tanks to prove I am not just a novice fish keeper, they'd be willing to vie me some store credit or something. All they can do is say no! 

  3. We got 20 neons from Petsmart about 4 weeks ago and I am down to ...6. It's one a day or every couple of days. I treated with the med trio when I got them. My water is 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 20 nitrate, 6.8-7 pH, very hard water but with low kh right now. Working on getting some crushed coral in my filter to help with that. The tank is currently unheated and seems to get to about 74 at night and 76-78 during the day. Thought about adding salt but I have plants: plenty of jungle val and some crypts (and driftwood!). I have noticed that the ones who die have noticeably red gills before they die.... The other fish in this tank are a betta in a breeder box up top (waiting for his new tank setup to cycle), a young common pleco, and one baby platy who got moved over when I relocated the pleco and that's all. They all seem fine, no abnormal behavior or symptoms that I can see. I also haven't noticed the pleco interacting with them at all because I did wonder if he was being a bully but he's chill af. He came from a community tank with a billion platys and danios.

    I got 16 neons from aquahuna in the mail about 2 weeks ago and they are in quarantine still, treated with the med trio, and I haven't lost a single one. I'm scared to move them into the tank with the remaining 6 even though in a livestream Cory said "do it." lol. Poor lil guys. I have thought about scooping them out, moving the 16 from AquaHuna to the big tank, putting the poor 6 in the QT tank, and treating with the trio again... but what if something in my big tank is the cause for the deaths and then I lose my other 16?! 😩

  4. Hi everyone! I'm in the DFW area and have been keeping fish for about 3 years now, but really just got into aquariums in the past 7 months or so thanks to Cory! I've currently got a 40breeder with mollys, platys, danios, and amanos, a 45 with a pleco (who is getting a bigger home soon, don't worry!) and some neons, a 10 with all of the molly and platy babies that I could catch, and a 7.5g with a cute lil' female betta and some harlequin rasboras. Looking forward to learning and starting some new projects inspired by this forum 😀
