  1. These are finally becoming more accessible! A LFS near me has them, does anyone have any experience handling them? I’ve heard it’s like your typical congo tetra but I’m worried becuase I’ve got hard water and they’re wild caught. It’s risky to toss away $35 a fish
  2. Anyone have any luck using the whiskey barrel resin planter for an outdoor pond? Specifically this one: https://www.biglots.com/product/20-75-whiskey-barrel-resin-planter/p210020690?zcp=pd_pla_go_G_Shopping_Outdoor_Furniture_LIA_Div_3_est6343&gclid=Cj0KCQjwtO-kBhDIARIsAL6LorfV2HPnD0X8LOwqU0JT3qSwDKEb_eFp6d_Rg6Vx3mi9mc_cZXxf7tgaAvSHEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
  3. Also I remember Zenzo talking about how he brought fish on a plane. I’m having trouble finding that video can someone help me?
  4. Hey everyone I’m going to Japan next month, not my first time but my first time as a fish keeper. I heard there’s a possibility that I can bring fish back. TSA allows in with my carry on in a clear plastic container. Are there any customs/wildlife restrictions I need to consider?
  5. Anyone have any tips for breeding these? I've heard treat it like a fancy bristlenose pleco, any insight?
  6. Sorry you lost a couple shrimp, what is your feeding schedule like? maybe consider overfeeding the shrimp a little more
  7. I remember the co op posting a video about this with Dean recommending a 20 gallon. Sight blocks and more than one cave
  8. So I need to dose my 40 breeder with general cure. I know that it is technically 45 gallons of water. Should I use 4 packs or 5?
  9. I see. Still in the earth eater category
  10. Does anyone have a specific species of apistos that do well in hard water
  11. Whats a small geo that people here like and what are their care requirements?
  12. do you mean..it doesnt matter what side you put the air on or its just leaking air?
  13. Hey to anyone out there who keeps apistos, can do well in hard water? My LFS strongly advises against it, yet I'm seeing some people say don't worry about hardness. My current water is like 300 ppm.
  14. Oh shoot I didn’t know that Ryo was here!
  15. Hey everyone I’ll be going to Japan in a couple weeks and will obviously be hitting up the fish stores. Are there any products they have that we think are worth bringing back to use?
  16. Man I'm so jealous I would love to have an apisto pair to breed
  17. Okay community, tell me this is either a bad idea, unnecessary, or over complicated. What IF we combined a cannister filter WITH an undergravel filter. Attach the intake of the cannister filter to the lift tube of the undergravel. This way there is more water flow through the substrate, this would essentially use the substrate as a big prefilter sponger. What are we thinking here?
  18. I’ve got 6.4-6.6 ph water with hardness at about 300 ppm. My water has low buffering capacity maybe 40-60 ppm My LFS doesn’t have crushed coral, they offered me a product Alkaline buffer from seachem. Does anyone have any experience with this?
  19. Im trying to keep praecox rainbows but been having trouble.
  20. I’m going to add crushed coral to my 40 breeder. pH is 6.5-6.8, not ideal so I need to raise the pH and add buffer. Does anyone have any brands they like? Also it’s about 1lb per 10 gallons right? I’m planning on tossing it into the substrate
  21. Definitely large totes with an air pump. You might want to bring some extra water in case you need to do an emergency water change. Hopefully you’re not taking them in a flat bed truck, they will freeze
  22. You’ve got a ton of options at this size. Once my 40 breeder opens up this is what I’m considering: rock dwellers + shell dwellers, one puffer, huge school of silver tip tetras, rosey barbs + Odessa barbs.
