    I have used them and have never noticed and effect on my bacteria

    So I believe they may live slightly longer. However, I know a lot of disease is more common at cooler temps. I have always kept the few bettas I had at 78 and only had one cause of fin rot brought on by fouled water. I do keep my bettas in community tanks though and with a slight but of salt. 1 tablespoon per 5 usually.

    I currently keep a strain of White Cloud Minnows that is said to be extinct in the wild. I also know that the Chattanooga Aquarium is currently doing a program to breed some endangered species atm.

    I wasn't aware they where mixing I had read a lot that discouraged mixing the breeds 🤔. But that being said I always thought the snakeskin/cobras had endler patterns so it makes sense.

    I think a third dose would be a good idea. I think it is really on the mend though and is looking good. Glad you could nurse it back to health. I try very hard to save every fish. Its so rewarding to me to bring one back from the brink and see it have long and happy life. I believe you will be very well prepared on your next fish adventure 🙂

    Pretty certain it's a endler

    Is med trio considered fry safe?

    My default position on all incoming fish is they have parasites. I would monitor poo and eating of all the others in the tank if he did have em and died from them there is a almost certainly parasites in the others now.

    Does it poo seem normal?

    I don't know what a macro photo is but these look cool. I like the jewelers microscope zoom 🤣
  11. Ben Ellison
    I think those look like a great idea and will be curious to know how it turns out

    I really like the simple elegance of this well done!

    I hope water too ☺️ a bit of substrate wouldn't hurt.

    Is the peeled pea also a recommendation for constipation?

    I don't think filters are a must on tanks. The setup you mentioned would have a very low bio load. So I probably wouldn't run a filter at all. The only really big advantage I see with any filtration on that size surface agitation and biological filtration. But the plants should cover the slight bio load and if it was me I'd use floaters anyways so surface agitation is not a must. Just my two cents 🙂

    Here is all my current babies. About 60 guppy fry and 10 molly/platies and a metric ton of shrimplets!

    Snails really are only a pest if you overfeed or are making massive amounts of algae.

    He is approximately 2 and 3/4 inches. He enjoys algae waffers, bloodworms, and baby brine.

    I have one. It is very very shy. Light have to be out for you to ever see him. I currently keep him with tiger barbs.
