  1. Everyday fishkeeping added a deer femur to his. No adverse effects
  2. I think you missed the point. It’s for the people that didn’t win that need proof that they did so they don’t get in trouble. Like buying an expensive toy that appears with a “congratulations on winning the blah blah contest” so you aren’t in the doghouse.. again 🤣
  3. No, it’s not a bad idea to include a certificate with congratulations on it with your order in case someone needs to explain to their significant other how this package appeared when they were told not to get any more stuff. I know a few places that provide a custom certificate of congratulations on the win for 3 to 5 dollars
  4. What you need is a dishwasher aerator adapter. It has dual thread inside and out for the aerator, and it has hose thread on the outside
  5. Sometimes sacrificing just has to happen when freezer space is a premium. At least the eggs are 🥶. I might be too when she finds her ice cream gone.. 😆
  6. I guess I don’t see why people want to get rid of duck weed. When I was at the pet store they actually had some duck weed floating in with some of their plants and I asked them to scoop it up and throw it in with mine, because I can’t find any anywhere, and I didn’t want to go through some farmers ponds just to get it. Besides it growing rampant, what’s the harm?
  7. Miracle super cure. My betta got some kind of infection or parasite that is causing popeye/dropsy and despite using the med trio 3-4 weeks ago, he started showing signs of bulging eyes last week on Tuesday. I changed his water again and used maracyn as Wednesday one eye was almost pushed out of his head and the other was bulging out. Added ich-x to the water too, and had to leave for two days for an out of state funeral. When I came back, he was clearly blind, and he hadn’t been eating. I know he had eaten Sunday, but not since. As of now, it has been 9 days without food, and 7 days afflicted. 3 water changes (90%) and maracyn as well as salt haven’t helped. I was hoping salt would help bring down the osmotic pressure and swelling, and it might have, but he is still blind. I love Gil, but I don’t think he will last much longer. If his site would come back and he could eat, he has a chance. He’s so thin right now and his poor fins are getting torn up from running into the side of the container. I know he’s scared and it breaks my heart😭
  8. Any further updates? edit- what the heck? It wasn’t showing me past January 9 or something.. disregard
  9. I can tell you for certain that your sewer is not metered. Sewer charges are based off of water consumption. In some circumstances, I had customers that had been charged sewer fees for years, but actually had septic tanks and weren’t actually connected to the sewer in the municipality; they were able to contact the water department and have the levied fees removed from that address from that point on, though they didn’t get refunded for years of overpayment (22 years in one instance) I was a plumber for 7 years, but no longer ☹️
  10. This is not my picture, but from a local group. I was hoping that someone could help identify this.
  11. Yeah, this week would have been the second week for parasites if I had done another round, but it was the week after the ich-x, para cleanse, and maracyn2 that she started going downhill.
  12. Yes, all the plants are real, and the filter is from the original tank. I moved it into my guppy tank while I worked so that it wouldn’t dry out. I also added some FRITZzyme to my tanks this morning just to boost the bacterial counts. I will check the water again later tonight as I am leaving for a funeral tomorrow morning. before I changed the tank, nitrates were extremely low, nitrate was zero, and the rest of the strip looked the same. She hasn’t had much in the way of energy in the four days or so before I remodeled the tank. I was afraid it was something environmental.
  13. I have a bunch of females that I thought should have been dropping fry, but nothing as well. It’s frustrating
  14. It’s a fairly new tank, and I just rescaped it two days ago. This particular betta hasn’t been as active, and hasn’t been putting on weight like the other bought at the same time of the same size. I will grab pictures of the other two. The black betta was the same size at the time of purchase
  15. Barry White and bloodworms? Could be a YouTube channel name soon 😆
  16. OK I gotcha. I keep my fish stuff in a tote right now, so it’s not open to everything in the rest of the house. If it was in my garage I would probably throw it away before I would ever use it again because of everything that happens in my garage, so I see what you’re getting at.

    Sick betta

    Three weeks ago Iused the med trio as a precaution with all my fish. During day three, she developed tiny white spots on her fins which I assumed was ich. I did a 50% water change at the end of the week and retreated with ich-x and the dots disappeared somewhere in there. She was always small and never really grew like the other betta in the sorority did, and she kept going to the bottom corner of the tank. It’s hard to get a picture of both sides of her, because she keeps moving every time I try to get a picture, but after she moves, she sinks to the bottom. Water perimeters are stable. It looks like she’s gasping a little harder, but she was never going to the top for air. Since it looks like it’s the last hours for her, I put her in an outdoor pond to enjoy the sunshine and possibly some fresh bugs if she cares. I know I can’t probably save her, but I would like to prevent this from happening again Water temperature is 79
  18. I’m curious as to why you wanted to make sure the sponge was clean. Did you suspect a pathogen or dangerous pest in the previous tank? That’s generally the exact opposite of what I would try to do
  19. Breeding. I have a number of dumbo males that I want to breed, but I need to get these girls all to size first, and need to get ahold of a vinegar eel culture for the fry. I have a brine eel hatchery and I’ve used it to help fatten up my guppies, but I don’t have anything tiny enough for beta fry.
  20. You could always add some kuhli loaches if you watch the tank at night/ low light conditions. They love hiding especially in little caves and underneath things. I have 6 in my rock tank and they found the hollow stone and took up residence.
  21. I’ve had the white and red one for about two months now and the other two for about a month. We had one more but something happened while we were gone for a weekend and we came back and there was nothing but a skeleton. Between the Pleco and the snails they cleaned everything off. I’m guessing that she had something wrong with her and I suspect probably ich, but she was pure snow white, so you couldn’t tell. The red one had some ich spots started on her fins, so I hit the entire tank with the med trio, and added 4 males in perforated cups to treat them at the same time. be on the first day of a little bit of bumping and establishing a pecking order, they’ve had zero issues. The one issue we did have was we had another “female“ that happened to be an immature male plakat that was raising hell. That’s when we discovered that instead of having six females and four makes, we had 4 females and 6 males.
  22. No it’s at a LFS near a family members house. I don’t actually have any fish places within about 2 hours of me. I follow their Facebook and message the owner when they post something I want and he holds it for me until the weekend.
  23. Do you think it would be past the point of breeding? I love the look regardless, but I would love to breed them as well
  24. @CalmedByFish Thanks! So far the fish seem to be loving it.
