Lucky 2! Or Duce for short. Back in April, some may remember @Guppysnailfound a pleco in her filter. Welp, I went to clean my 38g today, and found, u guessed it, a pleco baby! Now I’ve never owned an albino bn, but this one is ghostly compared to the ones I have in the tank….. (only baby I found)

How long have you had your crypts? Do you have pictures? my crypts seam to do nothing then I turn around, boom, they are ginormous.

I really luv the turquoise discus. Can’t wait till I’m in a place to get them…..

Keep the mommy and the daddies happy, and u may make more! Congratulations

So does this work? Yup

I had a yo-yo loach, until he started “playing” with my angels. Then he found a new home. from what I’ve gleaned, they like safety in numbers. But they also like picking on other fish.

Got these as I was leaving this am

Daily water changes? If you do 25% wc a day in both tanks. (No gravel vac). Take water from the new tank to refill older tank. After a couple days it should be close enough to move him easily.

Here’s my first tubs, from a couple years agosee wow the big tub is bowing out. Avoid that @dan12boy no sweat

I think so. The pictures look like the plopped it in a half whisky barrel. If the walls are fairly ridged it should work

@Fish Folk is in western MD, also tubbing with guppies. I would try to mimic him. I would go for the patio unless you spend a lot of time hanging out by the tree. Best of luck. I love my summer tub….

Prior planning prevents …. You know the rest we don’t have enough information, yet. - Where do you live? - Where are you setting up your tub? (Sun, shade, part shade?) - How big is your tub? - What are you day time high temps? Overnight lows? here in Louisiana, I run an air pump, but no filter, in my 100G. The tub has afternoon shade. I tried to go w/o the pump my first year, and my fish struggled during the heat of the day. Personally, I won’t try that again. If you are trying to breed a bunch of guppies, you’ll need a lot of hornwart, or other plants for the babies to hide in. Consider adding a couple pathos cuttings. They should root fairly quickly, and the vines will hang out over the edges and make it look attractive. Win win

And one of the easier ones to tie. Though it’s been a number of years since I tied flies

I struggle with instant gratification too.

In not sure the holes will do much good. But if you drilled a large hole in the bottom and filled it with lead, or something heavy, then seal it with epoxy you might be able to sink it w/ out slate

Yup it’s pretty tough

Our garden is in a transition right now. But here’s a little taste of what is going on.

How bout forge-fire

Wiggley cat fish😘🥰😍🥸

I generally cut the stem as close to the crown as possible. But my swords have very short stems and long blade like leaves. I wonder if you have enough light. Plants can get a little “leggy” if they don’t get enough light.

Poor little guy.
