    They are all beautiful! My complements to the artist!

    Yes, that is what I’m doing. I’ve got a hospital tank just for her. I hope I see improvement soon. Thank you!

    Awe the poor little thing. No one else in the tank seems affected. Just did a water quality test last night. No parameters "jumped out at me." Did a water change anyway because it was Sunday.

    Great! Thank you for your quick reply. I've got the Maracyn. I just got to mix down the dose for 1 gallon. Is the one dose of salt sufficient?

    One of my tetras abdomen is swollen. Dropsy I suspect. I pulled her out and set her up in a hospital tank, using 1 gallon of water from the show tank. I looked at my fish medicine inventory. The one product that is recommended to treat dropsy Maracyn 2 I don't have! So I treated with one teaspoon of aquarium salt/gallon. My first instinct is to go to Aquarium Co-op to order it. Hmmmmm. The Co-op does not carry it to order. Why? I have the other trio.... Can't decide what to do. Is treating with salt the only thing I can do??? When should I change her water???? Looking forward to your response.

    Hello Jeff. I use an encased Top Fin. Works perfect. I don’t have to worry about breaking any glass. Think I got this one at Petsmart.

    Ah what beauties! Welcome back to fish keeping. This is a wonderful time to get back into the hobby. I look forward to the time when I can do a set up like your planning. Have fun!

    You are going to love this brine shrimp hatchery. I’m not exactly sure about the weight with water, but I can hold it with one hand. 3.5 lbs is my guess. I built the stand from 1” PVC that Cory demonstrated in a YouTube video. The handle rests very snug at 1” So I would keep the wood you use to hang it on at 1” The USB nano pump is perfect for this application. The heater I use is a submersible nano heater. Just make sure you rinse everything throughly after each hatch. My fishies get a gourmet dinner every night, since I’ve had mine. Enjoy!

    Welcome to the forum. I’m curious... What kind of harps? I have 3 luthier made Autoharps, crafted in Sea Tac Washington. When able to start traveling again, I want to make a pilgrimage to Aquarium Co-Op. How fortunate you are to live close by. I would be in there everyday.

    I remember my mom telling me you can’t re freeze meat! Definitely toss out!

    For the last 40 years I have been a National Certified Interpreter for the Deaf. Hence my logo means interpret in American Sign Language. I have kept aquariums most of my life. I did take a 19 year break. When my ex husband declared that the 6 foot tank was his! Ha! I made sure I had re homed most of my fishies before I drove off into the sunset..... Taking the Python with me! He didn’t know the difference between an air stone and a rock.... I wonder how long it took him to bail that tank. LOL Cory and Aquarium Co-Op have been such an inspiration to me. I love playing with my 3 tanks. Having a blast raising Corydoras and Mystery Snails. I love all of the Ziss breeding equipment.

    Hi Dean. Question... In the Ziss egg tumbler, my baby Corydoras, hatched two days ago. I figure that when I feed them I should disconnect the air pump. So they can find the food. Then reconnect the air after a few minutes, Is that correct? What is the best way to keep the bottom free of left over food? Syphine out with those little plastic syphine gizmos? How long should I keep the fry in the tumbler, before moving them to the Ziss breeder box? I just haven’t found much information about using it much pass placing eggs inside. Please advise. Dawn

    Hello Sandy. On my five gallon nano tank I have a small HOB and ordered from Aquarium Co Op. I added the small pre filter sponge to the intake it fits perfect. Also in that same tank run a small sponge filter With a Ziss air stone And nano USB air pump in the other corner works very well together

    Hello Dean. I received the Ziss egg tumbler three days ago. Already have Sterbi Corydoras wiggling. How do I feed them? How long should I keep them in the nursery? Food selections I have for them are frozen daphnia, Aquarium Co Op Fry Food, Hikari first bites, Repashy and live BBS. I also have the Ziss breeder box and brine shrimp hatchery which I love!

    I like the Murphy magnet idea!

    She is a beauty!

    I’m just “winging it.” Not yet sure I’m doing anything right yet. I do have baby sterbi Cory’s in the Ziss egg tumbler. Saturday they will be two days old. I’m going to give them their first meal of daphnia. Going to feed them 4X/day. I will be extremely careful not to over feed. The Ziss egg tumbler worked great!
