Its Hutch Posted August 25, 2021 Author Share Posted August 25, 2021 I realized I havent taken any full tank shots and posted here sorry for the blur cant take focused pictures. Most of the plants below are either from the coop or propagated from said coop plants. Below is the 75g. PSO is out of control. Aquaclear 110 and large sponge filter. 23 Harlequin Rasboras. 13 Peppered Cories. 6 Otos. 1 female clown pleco. 7 Nerites. Ghost shrimp. Working towards a school of 15 otos but as most of you know they are hard to get thru quarantine. I've had decent luck so far as I've only lost 3 of the 12 I have brought home so far. This is the 20 Long I just setup earlier in July. It has 4 panda gara, blue and black neocardinia as well as 3 tiger nerites and 2 horned nerites so far. I plan on adding some Kuhli loaches and probably Dalmatian Mollies once the plants grow in some more. Not pictured is a big bronze crypt behind the wood. This tank was originally my quarantine tank. I treated some guppies for my BIL and they dropped some fry so it is currently a guppy fry grow out tank but they should be moving to their home soon. There is 13 fry in here almost a month old. Also home to some whisker shrimp. The ugly moss bridge was once majestic and beautiful until I left the gravel vac running unattended and it sucked all the moss right off. This is my newer quarantine tank aka the spongebob tank for my boys. It currently has 3 otos,13 ember tetras and 1 red racer nerite snail. Also pictured is the specimen container holding cory eggs. Bonus pic of all my COOP stickers. My anxiety prevents me from actually sticking them anywhere so they are stuck here using painters tape lol. Inside the left door of the 75g stand. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PineSong Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Thank you for sharing your progress and photos. That is a lot of fry! They are lucky to have a BBS provider. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Its Hutch Posted October 2, 2021 Author Share Posted October 2, 2021 Haven't updated in awhile. Been busy with work and the kids being back in school. Also been pretty sad after my betta passed away. Lost the majority of the Cory fry but managed to keep 6 alive which is still progress. They are getting bigger everyday and actually look like Cory cats now. Also managed to breed assassin snails but that didnt take any intervention from me haha! I have added 3 5.5g tanks into my collection now for the purpose of keeping shrimp tanks and hopefully getting large colonies established to eventually sell/trade. I have 7 tanks total now. My wife keeps letting me add tanks so I keep trying lol. She is super supportive. Hope everyone is staying happy and healthy. Anyways here are some pics of the Cories and baby assassin snails that were out and about today. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its Hutch Posted January 11, 2022 Author Share Posted January 11, 2022 Got some more pictures and updates. Got an electric blue acarra for my 75g. Think I might get 5 more. Setup the 3 shrimp breeding aquariums. Cherry reds, Sunkist orange, and green jades. Going to pull some more Cory eggs tomorrow during water changes and try my hand again at hatching and raising fry.

Its Hutch Posted March 22, 2022 Author Share Posted March 22, 2022 Hello All! Been a while. I've been avoiding social media for sometime and haven't been on the forum or YouTube recently. I've still been enjoying the hobby and taking care of my fish and plants. I've managed to hatch a batch of albino corydora babies. My dalmatian mollies dropped a nice batch of babies. Going to drop a few pictures below. Baby cories Baby Mollies Additional electric blue acaras in quarantine. Random pictures 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its Hutch Posted March 23, 2022 Author Share Posted March 23, 2022 Ya I've hit that point where I am learning on my own instead of taking everyone else's advice on the internet. Really experimenting with different things and learning as I go. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Its Hutch Posted April 16, 2022 Author Share Posted April 16, 2022 I am going to highlight my 75g in this post. I even recorded a YouTube video of it. I copied an idea from a video that Dean talked about stacking 2 large sponge filters and running a powerhead filtering thru them. The fish love the flow and I like the extra filtration. I didn't like taking the air stone out however so I went and bought a big ugly one and it does the job but I don't love it. The pictures are odd angels cuz I haven't tried that before. I also included a gif. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Its Hutch Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 I really enjoy when the Cory's lay eggs on a real plant rather than the glass. I think I might try to start making daily posts on here. I've got a crappy phone but enjoy taking pictures and talking about my hobby. We will see. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what happened but I suspect I moved them to early into the 10g tank. The water parameters tested fine but I just don't think they were strong enough yet for the move. what filter was on that tank?

Looking forward to seeing more, even if it's not the best photo 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
