  1. Yeah i also read about that. So far the 3 of them look to be female and i am keeping a close eye on them for any nips and bites if they ever get aggresive with each other i will separate them
  2. @Guppysnail sorry it took a while but heres the updateupdate. Get ready for the most ghetto turtle setup youve seen in a while. Its a 50 gallon industrial tub that i strapped on a bucket filter along eith those old chinese over the aquarium sumpi got 3 stinkpots in there with a bunch of teaball platy thats been breeding out of control lately. As for the turtles i amkeeping a close eye on whether they get too nippy with each other.
  3. I keep getting amazed by @Corys Colony of mini musk turtle, i am preparing a crate of the size of 80cm X 60cm X 45cm (around 50 gallon) i was planning on Stocking it up with a bunch of guppy grass and some mutt guppies and ramshorn snail as both enrichment and turtle snack. But as i research more about the turtle and watch more videos on Stinkpot turtles(the closest i can get to the mini musks) i found that they can wreak hell on each other. I was originally planning on getting 3 juveniles/4 baby turtles but now i am hesitant. Any suggestion to keeping a colony of turtles or any experience on how to do it well? Any input would be appreciated, thanks.
  4. This was a tank i setup from late 2019 from an old jewelry case my mom had lying around, originally it was a 8ish gallon shrimp tank but it picked up other inhabitants along the way. Now the inhabitants include: Hundreds of cherry shrimp 8 briggitae (chilli) rasbora 5 adult ember tetra( freebie from the chilli rasbora purchase) 7 pygmy cory A handfull of pest snails and some rabbit snail. A few mjnth ago i started noticing ember tetra fry, and because i started feeding heavily most has grown to adult size. The problem i want to ask is will the population going to control itself or am i looking at the slowest trainwreck happening?. There are now at least an additiinal 4 juvebile ember tetra and another 6 fry under the pelia moss. I am certain i have adequate chemical filtration but ive never bred tetras before, are they gonna chocke my tank? T tank has an 1.5 inch gravel substrate with another 2-5 mm thick mulm layer on top filled with wiggly tubifex worms. Filtration is a hang on back with a giant pothos growing from it that needs trimming every week. I also added an airstone just in case it helps. Thanks for any advice/suggestion.
  5. Heres patient no. 1 he's an l333 pleco that i got around 2 days ago.
  6. i recently spotted one of my l333 plecos (1 out of 4) in my QT tank coming down with ich, ithe Qt tank is 16 gallons with said plecos and some orange venezuelan corydoras, is it possible to treat it with heat(cranking it to 86 degrees F(30Celcius) and adding 1 tbsp of salt per 5 gallon like in the pleco planets website? is it safe to thse fish?
  7. Thats the advice i was looking for, since i am new i never actually took care of bba without the help of SAEs it's my first dirted tabk and i am quite beffidled on how to handle things, it is a new tank and most of the plants havent rooted properly so i was thinking of letting it run its course, qill the bba wither away eventually if i took care of the excess nutrients?
  8. My lights are 48 watt diy leds which are on for 6 hours a day in the afternoon and sunlight for 1 hour in the morning, filtration is a single powerheas with cannister filled with coarse sponge filter. Attached are the setup pics and also blurry pics of what i think are bba tufts growing on the crinum
  9. Hello Everyone first time poster here. so 2 weeks back i had the bright idea to make a dirted tank for the purpose of experience, but with horrible impulse control i now have both a crinum and an aponogeton madagascar in it, the last week i started seeing black beard algae on the crinum, should i be worried? i am thinking of adding a cleaner fish but i feel as though the cycle might not be ready yet. i added some shrimplets that's doing well growing up in the tank. i was thinking of adding maybe a single florida flagfish or maybe a single SAE but if they eat all the shrimplets i will probably feel bad. thoughts? Tank Spec: 40 Gallon Temp 29 Degree celcius (84 degree Fahrenheit) PH, 7.7 TDS 210 Nitrate & Nitirie (not checked yet, will do after i buy another testing tube, the last one broke after i dropped it)
