    I have never seen a male with any pink on the belly. Also my male is way longer than.

    The interwebs when I got mine suggest 30 gallon per as a rule of thumb so I think u could make it work. And yes they are known to be escape artist and to swim in inlets.

    Female imo. I think I see faint pink on the belly.

    I recently setup a 7.5 gallon tank with a nice read chamber for loads of media for my grandmother. She has a eye disease and has very poor vision. She wants me to out something in the tank I can breed if possible. I currently have the tank planted and cycling. I am wanting some feedback on ideas for sticking the tank from the community. She needs vibrant colored fish the larger the better. I will be going there weekly to care for it so no crazy bio loads that require lots of water changes. I am considering a pair of honey gourami's. I know they typically require a larger tank but I think I can make it work. Appreciate any ideas .

    Just had what I believe is my first set of kribensis fry. Not 100% sure but sure seems to be. Mama krib chases off all other fish and they stay near her!

    I believe he will eat some of them. If you have a lot of cover it should be fine. I suspect it will only be young ones.

    The longer you wait to introduce shrimp to a tank the better up to about 6 months. I read that @Penny had planned on adding shrimp to hers when it ages. Since it's her first go at that them too I'm excited to she how that goes.

    I have had the experience of it being awkward. Stores either want to give me like a nickel per guppy or store credit only. I have sold about 50 fish so far and it's all been for store credit.

    Shrimp don't lay eggs really to my knowledge. They tote em on their bodies. That being said the shrimplets are tiny and near see through for quite some time.

    No two cinder blocks are exactly the aame. I have been around masonry my entire life due to my dad being a life long mason. They can vary up to 1/8 inch and def not be square. You could put lines exactly one up the tank on all the cornors and adjust the tank till it's level and matching all the marks.

    I use to keep a common pleco in a 30 gallon tank...... With a Oscar and rainbow shark. I cringe thinking back on my 16 year old fish keeping self....
  14. Ben Ellison
    I don't see how that could matter.

    I don't think this is possible. Is taking a water sample to the lfs a option?

    So I'm thinking I'd start with reducing feeding to a minimum. Then I'd search high a low for a corpse or a fish or snail or something. The rotten eggs smell is likely a anaerobic bacteria pocket. It comes from oxygen starved water staying in place in the substrate. The pockets being disturbed can be dangerous to fish. How often are you vacuuming the substrate?

    I'm leaning towards starting with high fin panda to start with. They seem to be reasonable price and I like em. Green or orange laser are my favorite but like mentioned they are spendy

    What makes you think it's not cycling?
  19. Ben Ellison
    I suspect that some may even be present in the water from the tap. No water is 100% bacteria clean to my knowledge.

    I have a 20 tall tank with Red Cherries. I am considering trying to breed corys. Which variety would you say is the most popular? Which is the coolest? Which is the rarest?!
  21. Ben Ellison
    I'm currently growing it passively in one of my tanks. It's a lot slower growing than expected.

    I replaced all my existing hoods with led strips as well it's the most cost effective way.
  23. Ben Ellison
    I was wondering how these tanks where doing? Is there any update?
