    Wow you are really having a shrimp explosion. That is fantastic.

    Clean water and quality high protein food. Live food usually boosts growth the best. Live White worms, grindle worms and live black worms really help

    I use that same heater in my Ziss. I was curious what the silver particles were.

    Definitely looking forward to following your journey. I hope you keep us updated.

    Just give it time. It will straighten itself out.

    Thank you for sharing. I’ve wondered about making vs buying one.

    It took me longer to get that many eggs off the glass than it would have taken me to just wipe the darn glass 🤣🤣

    I had 54 at one point 😲

    Just catching up on your journal. Tank looks great as always. I adore your garra.
  11. Guppysnail
    Your tanks looks nice. I love watching a new tank mature into an ecosystem
  12. Guppysnail
    You are most likely correct in the assumption of sexual maturity/breeding season.
  13. Guppysnail
    Maybe @Colu would know.
  14. Guppysnail
    Yes.
  15. Guppysnail
    Yes. Sometimes you get some that were not prepped correctly. Throw it out and test your tank. Also do a 50% water change. Twice today if needed until the smell is gone.

    Family photo I squirt a little live baby brine in the tank so they know it’s sea monkey day. As soon as they see it they all congregate under the family tree stump. The little strays in the tank are slowly learning to eat bbs from the coral feeder.

    One of my little girls had eggs today. She carries them outside the body behind her anal fin. They are TINY but if you blow the photo up REALLY big you can see them. I pulled her to s specimen cup with some moss for her to lay her eggs on. Weird angle on photo. Looking up from underneath the spec cup. This is from the web. Jen said at 74-75 it takes hers about 10 days to hatch. 🤞🏻

    I’m so sorry your fish is not well. This is not epistylis. This looks to be lumphocystis. @Colu may be able to guide you on appropriate steps.

    I looked up the Brightwell substrate to be sure of how it affects water chemistry. Based on this statement livebearers may not be a good choice for you. Livebearers need calcium in their water and most prefer higher ph and harder water. What are your water parameters? Ph and gh specifically. Maybe caridina shrimp would be a good option to breed for profit in that setup

    I mix it up with live, frozen and commercial. No food has everything but a bunch of different foods usually cover all the bases.
  21. Guppysnail
    For the duration of the illness just using those foods is fine. Limiting their long term diet to that could cause nutritional deficiencies due to lack of variety to obtain all they need.

    I agree with @Tony s. It looks more like rubs than illness. If he has a cave feel the inside. My dad had that happen. The insides of the caves are often unusually rough textured. Jungle tabs and kanaplax heal him right up. I always add 1/8 TEAspoon salt per 10 gallons for dad as well and turn bubbles to max by adding extra airstones.

    I have had my two Sewellia lineolata for about a year. I raise Aspidora spilotus babies and Corydora melini babies with them. They pair well as long as I use very small grain or powdered food that spreads throughout the tank so the hillstreams are able to get some before the corys gobble it all up. @TeeJay also keeps his with Aspidora.

    Love the updates. 20 longs are my favorite. The only tank I like less than a 20 high is a 29. Just too tall for to little surface area. 🤷‍♀️ So excited about all your new critters. I found my first set of Filopaludina martensi did not really seem to thrive or give me babies. Once I bought a set from my lfs I realized how old the ones I got online initially were. Hopefully you get some babies so you can get that line thriving. I already chatted with SJ about buying some of his Micropoecilla picta babies. They are very cool.

    It looks like a prolapse. Can you get clearer photos like the second one? I don’t have great eyes but it looks like a potential for camallanus worms. @Colu has treatments for the prolapse and possibly can see better than I can.
