a fancy trio
Hi, I picked up a fancy trio a while back and they are doing fine.
Last Monday I went to my LFS, he had no trios but had a couple of fancy females (no males of that type) the one female was expecting, lo and behold Tuesday am she had like 25 babies. (I put the babies in a 20L, and they seem like they are doing fine.)
That same day an order from co-op showed up with some Easy Fry Food, that really helped with feeding the little guys.
What I did seem to learn was when the female gets that back bend, that might be a sign of getting ready to birth??
I hope I said that right.
I think you might want to go with a fancy trio.

good quality sturdy furniture can work well to hold an aquarium. i would veer away from most pressed board type of stuff, even if it holds it, over time will sag, and become a potential problem over time.
My two cents, I like metal stands, not as pretty but will hold a lot of weight.

I take the extra brine shrimp and rinse them in tap water then freeze them in these ice trays.
Thats a neat idea.

Are you asking (1) How long do [brine shrimp] live for? and (2) when do [brine shrimp] die out??
Yes, I should have said that, sorry.
On 12/12/2021 at 11:28 PM, StockEwe49 said:There are some great videos on Youtube about the life cycle of the brine shrimp
Yes, I`ve seen some of those.
I maybe should have asked what their die off does to the water if anything.

So, you hatch some brine shrimp to feed a few fish and said fish pig out on them.
How long do they live for and what happens when they die out?

i would sneak up on it. say you start with the 1 pump per10g. try that for a week or three, and see how the plants
I was going to leave this alone but, please give me an example of say a 20l with not too many or a lot of plants, would the type of plant matter?
Will a plant use the nutrients fast or slow? (Must be slow, to see what happens in a week.)
I know what you're thinking grow rocks instead.😮

One pump per 10 gallons is a starting point.
On 12/12/2021 at 5:20 PM, lefty o said:1 pump per 10gallons is merely a decent starting point. in a heavily planted tank
Well yes, I've seen the videos, but I guess I`m stupid cause no one says how many plants in a given tank and I'm trying to put that into perception of 1 or 2 plants could be a heavily planted tank.
So, if too much fertilizer is used then maybe get hit with algae?
😕

Maybe someone will answer this question that might help me understand more about plants.
I don`t see or hear about how many plants are getting just one pump of fertilizer per 10 gallons? (Easy Green)
I have 1 plant - 5 plants or 25plants.
Let's say I have a 20l with 12 plants. (Say all 12 are low light - does that make any difference? (I`m not talking about roots tabs, maybe I should include them.)
No matter what size tank, will the number of plants change?
I hope I`m saying this correctly.🤔

Well, I have managed to kill Guppy grass somehow.😵
I guess I`m confused about when and how much fertilize to use even after I read directions.
I did get a couple of guppies.
I might also have to get a camera so I can upload pictures. (I can`t resize phone pictures.)
cancel this.

The gap between the pvc and the bulb holder isn't great, the open wiring is dangerous,
That light setup would scare me.
I like the look of your tank, I can`t help with plants.
Good luck with this project.

I don`t think I will ever have that problem. (If I could just get them to grow.)

So, I see filter/air stone from CO-OP, so how much in saving.
-
Nice, where did the base come from?

Hi all, still trying to save Java ferns.
Also still trying to get pictures, (I have lots of pictures, can`t get them on to computer - maybe I`ll just become a drunk instead.)
Just got more plants from co-op today, they look great. (I will try and keep alive.)
Thinking about adding a few small fish/snails in three tanks?
Hope everyone is having a great week.

It is high for a tank that just has fresh water poured into (no live stock).
I don`t know what might be high or not. (Only plants.)
Many moons ago I never checked hardly anything.

Welcome, nice looking tanks, really like how they`re planted. (For me a big plus is that there is no TV.)
