I’m hoping to join to have a resource for quality fish as well as a venue to sell my myriad gobs of babies.
This should be perfect for you!

Yep you can just show up. There is an auction at the end of the meeting for plants, snails, fish that people bring in so bring some cash if you may want to take anything home. I saw some really good deals. Seems the meetings are around 1.5 to 2 hours and will have food as well. Hope you enjoy it! Not sure if I can make it or not, trying to reschedule some things

Yeah lighting could be part of the imbalance. Looks like you have all low light, slow growing plants that won’t use up nutrients as fast as algae will.
-
Yeah it’s pretty far for me too. I’ll just get to whatever meetings I can.
if you haven’t been House of Tropicals is worth the drive to check out
Let me know if you end up going Saturday so I can say hi

I would start by trying to reduce the lighting duration or intensity.
and maybe a couple small SAE to help clean up -

I am in York,PA. There is one decent fish store in Lancaster and a club. It’s a bit far from me to be involved. Just looking to see who is in my area, if you know of any hidden gem LFS and the like.
Are you going to the Lehigh swap this weekend?
I went to the ACLC meeting last month and joined. I was impressed with the meeting, much different than I expected. Seems some of the meetings are held at your LFS as well
How far are you from Glen Burnie, MD?

i put a 1/2 piece of pvc in the exact spot of the log they keep breeding on in hopes they would go in it but decided to squeeze right behind it and do it on the log like usual lol. I scraped a few of the eggs off last batch with a pipe cleaner and put it above an air line and they hatched in a 2.5 gallon I bought so I scraped a large portion of these and am currently doing the same thing. I don’t want to remove the log cause it takes up almost half the tank .
@Fish Folki thought of that but don’t have extra tanks to place them. At least not any it would be easy to get them back out ofI think I will get a few more pvc pipe caves made and keep trying to block their current breeding spot in hopes they go into a cave.
Hopefully that works for you! And in the meantime you are still getting some fry which awesome

Mine always lay eggs in 1/2” pvc pipes, with a cap on 1 end. Once I can see eyes in the eggs I pull them out with a pipette (cut the tip so the opening is bigger) and put them in an egg tumbler. Once hatched I move them to a breeder box. Maybe remove the wood and see if they will try the pipe. I also keep 3 or 4 pieces of pipe and move them after a spawn as they seem to like to try new locations.
The fry need small food like golden pearls for 4-5 days until big enough to eat baby brine shrimp

@SJ fishing Did you ever try calling them throughout the course of this problem? If so, did they attempt to handle this issue any differently over the phone?
I didn’t. When I placed the order I got this message, and when I went to the website to get a phone number they refer you a number to text

Wishing I had done a little more research on this company before I ordered, shame on me for not doing due diligence. Screen shot of a review on their Facebook, and not the only one like this.

The fact that they charged you an extra $200 is a huge warning flag. I am under the assumption you are here in the States? Based on your chronology of events, and due to statutes of limitations on items sold typically being 30 days in most states, at this point (from a legal standpoint) I would call the company if they have a phone number (record your call) and ask them to break down for you each of the charges, and how long it will take for them to reimburse each charge. Document the phone call, obviously.
Then, I would reach out to the Attorney General for your state, and find out what they recommend for best practice moving forward. Do not include the part where you considered changing your mind, just stick to the facts and the dates.
Do the same for the state where the trucking company is located, as well as the state where the shipper is based (and the package was shipped from). I would also reach out to the maker of the aquarium, and let them know what has happened, as a distributor who is not properly providing good customer service can make their brand look bad. I would reach out to the trucking company, and ask how they intend to make restitution for your yard, and having to pull their truck out with your tractor.
Across the board, I think you have done an admirable job of staying calm. It is incredibly hard to maintain a calm affect when looking at the series of events as an outsider, I know it's even harder when I am the one living through it. I am so sorry this has been such a nightmare for you.
Yes, I’m in the states. I set Monday as my deadline, if I don’t get at least a response from them I’m going to start taking actions. To me, considering what’s happened, for them to not have responded to my email from Wednesday is wholly unacceptable.
I hadn’t thought about advising the manufacturer of what’s happened, that’s a good thought.

I think it’s fine, I would use it as is without a mat. If you are worried you could cut and finish a piece of plywood to best match the stand, that is the size of the aquarium

The diameter of the hut is about 4 inches, if that gives you any scale. I may go out and buy some new stuff, but I’ve been told variety helps so the plecos can pick something they like. I also was thinking of sticking a large rock or two near the opening to make the cave entrance smaller.
Ah ok, smaller than I thought. I’d give it a shot

A lot of companies aren't awash in cash. They may want to refund the money immediately but just not have the cash on hand. A bounced check from them is worse than no check from them. They may need to get the refund from the trucking firm/insurer before they'll have the cash to repay you. You never know. Even some fairly large appearing companies are often cash poor.
Perhaps that’s the case. So far I haven’t sent scathing emails or ripped in to them. I’ve been on the other side of that and it’s not fun. However, whether they have funds or not they can communicate….and they have not been great with that

I like using guppy grass as well. Floating pogomon Stella octopus also works well. I use sponge filters, a thin layer of sand and a rock pile in a corner for shrimp and fry

My panduros spawn about one every 3 weeks, but have eaten the eggs everytime. This week they spawned again and I pulled the male out. The female was out of the cave today and no sign of fry so wondering if she is the culprit
Interesting breeding ideas for the lazy fishkeeper?
