Summer Tubbing - Lets see your outdoor mini and large ponds.
Ken Burke replied to Cory's topic in Photos, Videos & Journals
made a couple tweaked a couple things. Can’t have a pond without a gater and a pelican. Hope to finish the bricks at the front. Can’t wait to add the goldfish at the end of month.

I’ll second that.

Picture would help, but sounds like a variant of algae. Here are a couple pictures from my tanks the first one is a sword plant with some black beard algae (BBA) and some java fern that had recently been treated with reverse respiration. Basically submerging the plant in carbonated water, and leaving in the them in a dark room overnight. Look here for more information on how to do it: Or ask @Guppysnail she’s an expert.

For me? Yeah it’s that time of year again! but this year I’m going bigger - 300g. Adding a fountain and a cute chubby gater ‘cause, Louisiana! Moving fancy goldfish in at the end of month.

Windelov Java Fern being weird
Ken Burke replied to Lincoln's topic in Plants, Algae, and Fertilizers
I love this fern. It’s very hardy, and it looks like yours is reproducing. Windeluv typically doesn’t like having its rhizome buried in the substrate, so it could have some rot. These plants frequently threw off baby plants if they are challenged like that. A broken leaf can reproduce. if you remove the tip of one of the leaves with roots, you can super glue it to a rock. Next thing you know, new plant for your tank.- 2 replies

I’m not familiar with quarantining with salt and methylene blue, so not much help there. My angels move tanks pretty well, so I’m not sure that is your problem. What are your water perimeters? How are the rummies doing? What size are your angels?

I think it was @Guppysnail that used to dip sticks into Repashy, then serve them like a giant lollipop

I use silicone candy molds and mini ice cube trays. Here’s a pic of my Repashy worms

So one of my swords put out stalks, runners, something. One looks like it will flower , the other has developed roots and a couple leaves at a couple nodes toward the end. I’m thinking cut the nodes with roots and plant them. Anyone have experience doing that?

Well look at this - I have a pair of discus spawning (forgive the untidy tank. I need to teach ‘em to dust and vacuum) they have many tank mates, so not much hope for fry…

I found that you can take advantage of their love for dark caves to my advantage. Just start trying to net them (to make them run to cover), then cover the cave entrance with your hand and remove the cave. It’s not as efficient as @Guppysnail’s method, but you can catch adults. Of course you can also check you HOB filter. Filter babies are the best.

“if they're really _only_ in that pond” That was something I was curious about. I would love a conservation group verify, and rebuild the population. Good on the kid to figure it out!
