    Fish are looking incredible!

    Thanks all! Maintenance is a pain in the butt with only one arm, and siphons are even harder… but my black phantoms are fired up again, so they’re definitely getting a shot. Btw, I’ve got a nature-loving girl for Secret Santa and am completely stumped on what to get her. Any ideas? 😂

    I got this a lot with my tetras & Cories. Meth blue works ok, but really I think the key is regular spawning of the parents to prevent a build-up of infertile eggs in the female. Everyone probably has an opinion on the matter 😅

    Bust my arm last weekend skiing. 😢 First Weekend and my pol gets caught on a tree under the snow 🤬. There goes the rest of the season…could it be natures way of telling me to stop off-pisting? 🥲 As you can imagine, I was feeling a bit blue and aquariums/school are kinda tough with one leg. No more WCs for another month and it looks like no more heavy lifting. 😑 Typing is kinda slow without one’s left arm. At least I had one fun day on the pistes … Tho I can now take a ton of fish pictures 😅 Have a good one!

    Are those cool Loxozonus guys a new species?

    Black phantoms all fired up and ready to go. I’m wondering if there’s something about the peat that’s bringing my hatch rates down. The more peat I add, the less I get, but if I add practically none then entire spawns fungus. Has anyone got any ideas on how to stop eggs fungusing?

    Any luck?

    How do you take your pics? My camera only tends to focus on my background and completely zaps past my fish.

    The scape reminds me a bit of those Acropora or Fire Corals you see in documentaries.

    Here’s what you see with extra zoom:

    Pygmy Cory juvies: Zebra Danio juvies: (Sorry about pic quality, but my camera will only focus on the background!) Bnp fry which are from a gold x normal batch: Bird fry:

    Have you seen the spawning ‘ring’ that @Lowells Fish Lab uses for his Aphosemions?
  13. TheSwissAquarist
    Photo dump. Somehow my Daphnia are still alive…I think there’s about 15 small ones left in the holding tank.

    They’re moving up the food chain. Soon snails will be keeping us humans in glass tanks and feeding Repashy. 😂
  15. TheSwissAquarist
    How’s the 55 gal project coming along? 😅
  16. TheSwissAquarist
    It’s definitely a more exclusive hobby than freshwater, I’ll give you that! Somehow the Swiss do saltwater really well, like there’s no dedicated freshwater LFS within 2 hours train of me, but I know of at least 3 100% saltwater shops, the closest of which is about 20 mins on the bus away. Anyway, Xmas is around the corner 😁

    Something for @nabokovfan87:
  18. TheSwissAquarist
    Brigittae would look great against the plants, and are also cheaper than the others IMO.

    Getting better - he’s loping around but the vet says that it’ll take another 12 weeks until he’s back to normal.
  20. TheSwissAquarist
    How bigs your cube? My next tank is definitely either gonna be a saltwater one or entirely plant-focused. Could the temp strata just be infrared reflected off the plants and then dissipated by the water?
  21. TheSwissAquarist
    New most annoying thing-> tetras laying a ton of eggs and then all of them fungus for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

    One of my dads long time faves:

    Been a busy week! Thanksgiving isn’t really a thing over here, so it’s been all hands at the pumps… Daphnia starter culture arrived today! Along with some springtails that were sold as Paramecium 🤨. Definitely not using that vendor again… Bonus dog pic. Take care!
  24. TheSwissAquarist
    Great minds think alike. 😂

    Mines around 16 so you should be fine.
