  1. 99.9% are dud pics 😂
  2. His parental instincts may come in to play. He’ll be more focused on keeping the other fish away than on eating the eggs. I’d use the adult platies if I were you. More robust than fry.
  3. Quite useful for the lazy fish keeper…😅
  4. If you put some dither fish in who won’t harm the eggs (pleco, Oto, etc) he may take better care of them…I haven’t had this problem before when I bred mine.
  5. I’m boooooored of sitting around watching fish all day! Time for a new tank 😈. On my way back from the hospital I stopped by a saltie LFS to see what I could put in a marine tank… Corals cool, don’t get me wrong, but plants have something more uniform and natural (and cheaper!!!) about them…we’ll see where this goes. My latest short on YouTube: I found the term ‘Lifelapse’ kinda fitting : lifetime+ Timelapse. Have a nice day!
  6. @Lowells Fish Lab did a tank seperated in the middle by a semi-transparent partition so that the fish could see each other but not spawn…I’ll link the vid…
  7. Macro gives a real rockpool vibe to it…it’s a bit like a saltwater planted tank in a way… Tigahboy did an amazing thing with that tank. 😍
  8. It really hit a note with me because I’ve seen all the effects of warming seas on corals and whatnot. Definitely makes you want to keep some yourself to see what the fuss is all about 😂
  9. Nice tank! I can see it as a really cool scape if you added some more plants with CO2. Maybe try attaching a plant to the rock. The Easy Flow kit is making me jealous 😂.
  10. You can try Reverse respiration, if you’re willing to remove your Java fern from your tank. @Guppysnail
  11. There’s annoying algae and then there’s decorative algae…the Lorax would definitely agree with the latter. 😄
  12. Nice! You can see the Bolivians sparring and I really like the forest of Aponogetons on the surface.
  13. According to google it seems that it can take them 2 years to get to 6 feet if grown in a conservatory…but apparently in aquariums they stay at 80 cm or so due to nutrients and space etc
  14. Not bad! I’ve only got the Murphy one which I’ve put on my ski helmet. 😅
  15. Good times… 🥹 My Xmas present from my grandparents came! It’s a 47 liter aquarium (10 ish gal) meant for saltwater or fresh…it’s got a more aesthetic feel to it, so I’m tempted to use it for marine… what are your thoughts?!
  16. I’m slowly getting into saltwater….how has it worked for you @Chris?
  17. As Gup said, real nice growth. Do you think that it helps the tank in any way?
