    Decent find. 🙂 My first fish were guppies (if you don’t count some which died after a couple of days)
  2. TheSwissAquarist
    So cute!
  3. TheSwissAquarist
    No, they’re some kind of Hygrophilia. Could be pinnifitada, but unlikely.

    Great journal @jwcarlson!

    My granddad used to have some in a pond behind his house. It was his pride hatching out little sliders, which were the cutest things ever! 🥲 When he passed my uncle got them and still has some. I understand that they may become a nuisance, but it’s great that they’re so adaptable!

    Thanks @knee and @Odd Duck!

    I’ve got the Tetra “Artemix”. 😑 Hopefully ground spirulina will give me an advantage. What will you feed them with?
  8. TheSwissAquarist
    That cats looking like it’s about to bounce on the camera and eat it like a mouse! 😂

    Unfair advantage! (no just kidding) 😂 I’ve had a brine shrimp setup which I’ve raised to adults before, though I have no idea how! That can be my advantage😜.
  10. TheSwissAquarist
    Same here! 😂

    Nice guppies & scape!

    @Theplatymaster and I are trying to do it on my journal @Sonder

    How about we just take a picture of our set ups at the end and the forum members can decide. Winner gets to put “Brine Shrimp King” in their signature bar. 🤣🤣

    Nice new profile pic!
  15. TheSwissAquarist
    Why not? Deal! How to judge the winner… 🤔

    They’re going to go into a Fluval breeder box afterwards, which is a tad bigger. If you have a look at the “Sea monkey” kid science sets (got one a couple of years back) the BBS are in really tiny containers. Maybe 1/3 of a gallon tops.

    The last thing I got when I went to a mom an pop store: Frogbit and Java moss. But their display tanks are really cool! And little Gretel also got something out of it:

    I’ve noticed lately that a lot of people have been asking on how to raise BBS to adulthood. I’ve had a look at the composition of the average “Sea Monkey” science set, and established that room temperature is fine and that they eat Spirulina. I’ve got some algae tabs on hand: Which I can probably ground up. I also put some BBS on the go in anticipation.

    They haven’t had the easiest start in life - might be down to that.
  20. TheSwissAquarist
    I’m going to try a half-hearted version of that, sticking a tomato plant (roots rinsed) into an aquarium. We’ll see what happens!
  21. TheSwissAquarist
    Looking good as ever!
  22. TheSwissAquarist
    Wow that’s huge!
  23. TheSwissAquarist
    A lot of people recommend asking a building engineer. Maybe try asking the landlord? They might have some info on what has been put there before.
  24. TheSwissAquarist
    Super cool!
  25. TheSwissAquarist
    How long did you spend typing that? 😂 Nice topic idea @nabokovfan87!
