Thanks for the replies. I'll give it a few months and see what happens

My tank has 2 dwarf aquarium lilies. One of them the leaves stay close to the bulb the other all leaves try to reach the surface. I got these plants in April?.... I think... But anyway. Now that the tank is cooling off the leaves and roots have separated from the bulb that has leaves that reach to the surface. The other one has not shown any change in growth or decline since winter. Is this normal? I want to reach down and squeeze the bulb to see if it's soft but I'm afraid to disturb it and uproot what ever roots might be in the substrate. What would you guys do?

I've had some herbertaxelrodi rainbow fry growing for the last week in a 90 gallon. (Not ideal but what can you do.) I've been feeding a ton of infusoria 3 times a day and they are still alive and well. I'm wondering at what age or size should I start feeding baby brine shrimp? They are just getting to the size where you can see them without squinting lol.

I had no idea this was a thing. That's pretty cool.

I would be getting on steam and looking for a game to play. But if you are not the gaming type and looking for a more in depth possibly fish tank related project. I would be looking into Serpa Design videos and figuring out what one of his projects i want to try to replicate that I can order most of the stuff online for or have someone pick them up for me. I like his simple waterfalls that are mostly moss and rock.

I believe hydrogen peroxide is H2O2. I believe the rest of your information is correct. I think another way is try to keep algae to a minimum with a balanced tank and if you still get BBA try a product like easy carbon. I think aquarium coop just had a video on carbon. It was either the coop or girl talks fish.

I’ve never heard of the gut fauna theory. I’ve always been told it’s because when they are collected they use chemicals that basically incapacitates then makes them float to the surface for easy collecting. I’ve heard it can cause gill and intestinal damage.

He has said in multiple videos the only way to get his fish is to buy them from aquarium coop.

Keep the Tum's close by. Lol

I had bought some eggs a few weeks ago from my local club auction. I didn't get any fish out of it. I don't know if i had done something wrong with the peat or if there was just no eggs in the peat. I haven't tried eBay yet.

If i had a 5 gallon I would try to get 4 Nothobranchius Killifish 1 male and 3 females. The males look awesome but you have to breed them to keep them going long term as they are annual Killifish. But they can be hard to source as well.

Interesting how does the spreadsheet work for auctions? We use a spreadsheet at auctions but it is all based off what bidder number you grab not based on what member you are.

I believe when I pitched it I looked at the software that currently runs this forum.

I was recently in a similar situation. I setup a 10 gallon bare bottom tank cause I had one sitting around and just filled it half way. I had a clump a subswassertang(probably not spelled correctly) that I put in there with them. if you have the 10 setup and running already and there aren’t any larger fish to snack on the fry I would put the cory fry in there as well. Maybe just have to feed a little more to get food past the guppy fry. My spawn wasn’t 60 I only had a dozen or so. I put them in the display once they hit 1/2 inch. I fed baby brine, the coop fry food, and hikari first bites.

Yes that’s the setup we currently have. I got them talked into membership cards this year. Basically just a business card with the club logo on the front and the months and a place to write in the year on the back. Our club has been established since the 60s and I just volunteer here and there. Probably give the presidency more head aches then anything.
