Thanks. Unfortunately he was. He had intestinal cancer so good went right through him. We chose to euthanize yesterday so ive been delinquent on good updates. 

So sorry to hear about your loss 😢 

[What music are you listening to these days?]

Just a fair warning music loving NERMs.    I'm a sucker for Christmas music.

On the recent livestream Cory mentioned that business is a bit slow right now. I’m going to try and make sure at least 1/2 of my aquarium hobby spending this holiday season goes to Aquarium Coop. 

I've got an order to get together before Christmas.

[What music are you listening to these days?]

Just found out that the singer/instrumentalist for one of my favorite bands passed unexpectedly in a tragic accident.   I'm heartbroken.   RIP David Longdon

 

[Need, Want, and Wish]

Need:  A few more nano pumps and battery backups for power outages.
Want:  To breed pure strains of guppies sometime soon.
Wish:  More room!  A fish room would be great, for guppy breeding.

[Hello from Southern California!]

Welcome!  Now we have to know what the stripey fish are.   Maybe Zebras? 😉

@GameCzar I'm loving the Pisces aquarium gravel! I have silver pearl in one tank and I'm putting Midnight Pearl in my 20 long. Pretty, easy to clean, small grain and smooth. I also appreciate the wet/dry photos.

I'm pretty sure Midnight Pearl is what we have, and its really nice!  

[Gravel Color - dry vs. wet]

There's a brand we got on Amazon called Pisces Aquarium Gravel, they show pics of them both wet and dry.  It was super helpful, and its great stuff. 

 

[Introducing My Fish and I!]

Welcome, love the tanks!

[How to save a few fry]

Most colony breeders I see use guppy grass, hornwort, or some other dense floating plants.   Of course, guppy fry are tender and delicious so Angels will find a way.  

We've been splitting up the males and females  as soon as possible so we can control breeding a bit.

[New member, introduction]

Welcome Connor! 

[Breeding for profit Shout out!]

Nice!  Hard earned Im sure, but it has to feel good that your fish will be making folks happy.

[common pleco love]

❤️ the ol common pleco.   Of course as kids everyone I knew that had a tank had a common pleco.  We knew nothing about how big they could get.  My pleco was the last fish standing from my childhood aquarium. 

[Best plant for nitrates ?]

Floaters do a great job too, and propagate quickly.   

[What Nano Tanks do you Recommend?]

That's a great choice!  I'm also a fan of the Aqueon Frameless tanks! 

The Aqueons are on sale at Petco at a great price right now!

[I love my snail]

Nerites are awesome!  They are like little scrubbing bubbles in your tank 🙂

We have a Mystery, 2 Nerites, a Ramshorn, a big family of Assassins, and Bladders so its safe to say we love our snails.

[Reintroduction: Hello from a 15 year old Hobbyist and Washington Local!]

Welcome aboard! 

[Opinions/comments/suggestions/input needed on my next move!]

Are you overstocking your tank?  A little, but with your good water change habits it shouldn't be an issue.  
I know a lot of people have a single honey for a centerpiece fish, and that tends to keep them a little less aggressive, so adding chilis and leaving it alone should be fine.   I love chilis and they have a minimal bioload.

Good luck!

Welcome! 

[What music are you listening to these days?]

So I watched a great documentary about Beverly Glenn-Copeland called "Keyboard Fantasies", so I've been on a kick lately.
 

 

[My mystery snails have not bred.]

Mystery Snails do have a male and female, so its possible you got all of one sex.

Those kids are SUPER lucky!  How cool is that?
