[My friends new 29 g]

Nice! So many possibilities! What will be living in it?

[Multies got an upgrade from a 20L to a 40B]

[Breeding suggestions]

I’ve always wanted to try killifish. My LFS can’t keep them in stock and I’ve heard they are easy to breed

[Tank mates for Multies?]

Cyprichromis leptosoma are a nice option as they stay close to the surface, opposite of the multies. They even breed up top as well, pretty cool. It is considered somewhat of a classic combo, multies and cyprichromis. The cyps are easy to care for but they don't ship well so if you order them from a considerable distance I would recommend ordering a few extra just in case.

Wow those fish are so pretty! I’ve never heard of them before. I’m going to do some research thank you!

have you ever kept them? Is there anything I should know about them?

 

(edit) one question I have is how many do you think I could get in a 40B tank?

[Tank mates for Multies?]

I’m moving my little colony of Multies (Neolamprologus multifasciatus) from a 20L gallon to a 40B and I was thinking of having some other fish in there with them.

I just want something that will do ok in there and will add some movement to the tank. Do any of you have suggestions? There will be some water lettuce in the tank so whatever I get will have a little bit of cover.

I was thinking a school of rummynose tetras? But I don’t know how they would do with Multies 

[Help Congo in distress! Wound or infection.]

I came back from Vacation and one of my Congo tetras has what looks like a wound on both his sides 😬. I’m going to isolate him. How would you treat him? I don’t have much experience treating fish. It also looks like he has gotten some kind of infection, he has some white bumps on his body and tail. Is it ich? All the other fish in his tank are fine and healthy, I think we just got injured.

[What bottom feeders can I put my Multies?]

I am new to Multies, and I’m starting a colony of them. I was wondering if it’s okay to put mystery/Nertie snails in with them to help clean up.

I’ve seen several different answers, so I thought I would come to the experts 😁

would a pleco be okay or no?

[What did you get done today?]

Got my Multies at my LFS! They are so awesome! They are selecting their shells 🐚 . Also added a sponge filter from an established tank 👍

[What did you get done today?]

I setup my first multie tank! Now I just need the fish!😃

[Plants for a goldfish pond?]

Hello!

So we are setting up a pond, and we are going to have goldfish in it. The water temperature will be about 55-65*F. 
 

What kind of plants do you think can tolerate these temperatures, and the goldfish won’t destroy?

[Fluval Nano filter with spray bar?]

I do use sponge filters I just was gonna try something different. And I don’t know why but when I hear rimless I think spray bar lol

[Fluval Nano filter with spray bar?]

I don’t have a pet smart ☹️ But I do see some of brand ones I could try out. How does yours work? Good? I’m gonna do a shrimp tank

[Fluval Nano filter with spray bar?]

I can’t find any place that has those @Streetwise did they stop making them?

[Fluval Nano filter with spray bar?]

Okay so I just picked up a rimless 5.5 gallon tank that was on sale at Petco, and I was thinking of trying out this filter from Fluval

Fluval Nano Aquarium Filter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004BZKDZC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_5S47FNPE3MCNDN1A84M8

Have any of you had one? Do you think it’s to big for a 5.5, there are mixed reviews about that?

Have any of you had one of these?

 

[Question: HOB filter and feeding brine shrimp]

I usually just leave my HOB running all the time, even when feeding brine shrimp.

You could totally hook it up to a timer but it might be really loud when it turns back on, because it will be running dry. You could try it! 🤷‍♂️

[Anybody keep killifish?]

I kept some clown killis once but they all jumped out of the tank at night 😳.

I also kept a pair of Aphyosemion australe and that might be the prettiest fish I have ever kept I just loved them!

[Angelfish fins - are they damaged??]

I think that looks about normal here is what some of mine look like

[How You Know Your Family Supports Your Hobby]

I’m very lucky and me and my dad built a mini fish room kinda thing in our Landry room lol

 

[Filter Choice]

Did you consider a nano sponge filter? They work great!

[What is a fish you’ve always wanted but never get and can’t see yourself getting soon]

Yup Corys love for Mbu puffers has spread to all of us! 😆 ......Mom can we get a 500 gallon tank?

[I want to play with co2. Suggestions.]

I’m thinking of trying the same thing (keep in mind I have no experience) but I saw a video on YouTube by the “King Of DIY” called “HOW TO: DIY CO2 system for aquarium plants TUTORIAL” I’m going to try this cheap diy system.

[Are these CPD eggs??]

They look like snail eggs to me. Are they stuck on the glass? If they are then I’m pretty sure they are snail eggs

[Pearl weed, Monte Carlo, or dwarf baby tears?]

I was wondering what I should get to carpet a 20 gallon tank I’m going to set up. Pearl Weed, Monte Carlo, or Dwarf Baby Tears? Which one is the most beginner friendly? I have never tried to carpet these before.

im also open to any suggestions you have😀

[How bright is a stingray? Can I carpet pearl weed with it?]

Hello!

I am planning on setting up a 20 gallon soon and I was thinking of getting a stingray from the Co-op, I want to try and carpet some pearl weed, and grow some Scarlett temple will this be good enough?

[Celestial Pearl Danio Care and Breeding]

Good luck with your breeding project! 
 

I got 5 CPD’s a few months back, but two died so I was left with 1 male and 2 females.

They were in a 10 gallon planted tank with my betta, but a few months after I got them the betta died (he got caught behind my heater)

so I decided to take the fish and equipment out of that tank and move it to  a different one. About a week later I look into that original tank and I see TINY TINY baby cpd’s, they hatched without a filter or heater (the water was in the mid 50s)

The little tank they were in was covered in algae.

I didn’t really have to feed them at all because of all the infusoria and little critters in there, until they were a few few weeks old then I started feeding Baby Brine, first bites, crushed up flake, freeze dried daphnia.

Now it’s been a little over a month and I love these little guys. It’s hard to get a picture but they are starting to get some Orange and some spots.

 

I don’t know if these accidental fry help but maybe it will lol.
