  1. Where’s the hairgrass going? Front ‘lawn’ in the 40 gal?
  2. And dog pics! 😂 What do you think the most part interesting bit has been so far? Shortest update yet: Leopard Danio breeding project in the making… Dwarf hairgrass, maybe with Val is the back and Anubias on the rocks?
  3. That’s a pretty good name! Animal farm was my favorite book when I was younger (9ish), it’s only later when I understood the significance of it.
  4. Apisto pair I snagged at the fish swap have settled in really nicely… Any name ideas for the male @TeeJay @Chick-In-Of-TheSea? Jimminy Ribbet also says hi from the morning mulm bath:
  5. It’s called rock wool, and you can just plant the baby ferns in the substrate if you can’t be bothered with the hassle of potting.
  6. When it comes to schooling fish (tetras, barbs, danios) sexing doesn’t really matter if it’s a decent group. It’s more centerpiece fish (bettas, Apistogramma) where sexing is very useful when putting together a tank.
  7. My hospital waiting room has a tank with 3 in. They had no idea what they were ! Have you noticed any sort of health issues at all?
  8. Nice! Have you kept these @mountaintoppufferkeeper?
  9. I’ve bred these before, and it’s very hard to tell the difference between a fat one and an eggbound one (I expect they’re often both!) if the scales are pineconeing (sticking out at weird angles) you’re dealing with a sickness. Are you thinking about breeding them at all?
  10. He’s still a rather beautiful fish…it’ll be sad when he goes.
  11. @Chick-In-Of-TheSea does Repashy lollies I think. Great for unwanted toddler playmates/relatives! 😂
  12. I think that there are some good devices…check Amazon! I’ve used a GoPro to film fry and shrimp from downcurrent (behind them so they didn’t see the camera) for a school presentation. Pretty cool footage, come think of it!
  13. Coldplay: 🎶 Every egg drop is a waaaaterfall 🎶
  14. Joining in the fun: Are inverts/frogs allowed?
  15. I profoundly admire all those who do/are constrained to do this hobby on a budget. Beautiful shrimp! I can see a lot of good colors on them, a promisingly colorful colony and journal!
  16. 6 juvies is a good starting number. I started with 3, and 2 didn’t grow (stunted?) while the platinum one got massive and beautiful; but had a vile temper.
  17. Best TV judge voice: “I pronounce you…GUILTY!” 👨‍⚖️
  18. @Cinnebuns and @Minanora have regular breeding, and @Guppysnail has the occasional 'tadpole'. Keep us updated on your attempts! Have you read my journal? Trying to rub it in??😜
  19. is this just another of @Fish Folks ruses to show off his cool fish? 😜
