Cowrabbit Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 (edited) Hi All. My name is Jena, I'm from Southern California and had been a lurker for a while. Had fish for 25 years, only gotten better and more serious about fish keeping since COVID lockdown. Been binge-watching all the CoOp videos. I’ve never tested my water before, the easy test strips are a game changer! I think I just about own every CoOp item. My favorite is surprisingly the $2 measuring spoon! Thanks for the wonderful community! My first tank & totally guilty of keeping fish in bowls. Current show tank, 48x15x17. Its seen better days, recently replanted crypt parva & nurii “Rosen Maiden” to spread the carpet. I’m always rearranging things and can’t keep my hands out of the tank. I think I want a carpet of only Rosen Maiden, but I can only propagate what I have. Had to go on a bidding war at my local club to get it.

sankaz Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Hi glad to 'meet ' you. That is the most interesting carpeting plant I've seen yet! I've only been in the hobby since June and I am loving it! I also want to say that the wall or backdrop behind that tank is gorgeous!! I'm so envious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very glad to 'meet' everyone ☺️. Bentley Pascoe's video yesterday briefly went over how crypt nurii species tend to grow squat to the ground while the wendtii will grow up. I had no idea this plant would grow that way, there's always something new to learn in this hobby everyday. You should definitely try this plant if you get a chance. It's very hardy and is a chameleon it'd be mostly green under low light. I guess I have highlight, the plant is only 14" away from the Fluval 3.0. I don't think CO2 is needed but I do run CO2 for some other stuff. Meanwhile I've killed at least 3 pink flamingos 💸💸💸 On 9/13/2022 at 8:40 PM, Landon said: Very nice! Rosen Maiden looks amazing, and I love all the warm colors in this tank! Aww thanks, I have the red and warm white light cranked all the way up. I'm slowly switching out more red plants, got some red downoi coming in the mail next week. On 9/13/2022 at 9:55 PM, nabokovfan87 said: what a beautiful and unique plant in the hobby! Welcome, and that's a very awesome tank. Really unique, but perfect setup. Thank you! This tank is almost 11 months old, but has gone through a lot of changes. I liked it better when it was a complete jungle, I don't think the cardinals would have liked that. This is from May 😭aww that pink flamingo (right front bottom) was still alive back then. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very nice work. Thank you for the advice, much appreciated! I forgot what that wood looked like and fell in love with it again. They love going under the tunnels. I need to find a spot for my marimo ball, he used to sit so nicely on the wood, but he’s grown larger and have to be squashed to fit in the nook. It’s better on the floor cause the pea puffers love making woopee on it and the corydoras like it as a resting pad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I wish I was clever like that. No, I really like black and white rabbits that look like dairy cows. I’ve owned 5 house rabbits, but don’t have any now. Rabbits love electrical cords. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerceptivePesce Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Hehe, I see! 🥰 There are some really good looking Cow Ranchu goldfish out there. Same nomenclature idea, they look like jersey milk cows 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are total goofs and absolutely personable though 🥰 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
