TheSwissAquarist Posted March 15, 2023 Author Share Posted March 15, 2023 My dilemma: Being tired of my tight-wad sisters nagging at me for spending too much cash on fish, I’m implementing a save half/spend half strategy on my monthly allowance. I’m well stocked on fish food etc and still have enough for one of the following: 2 ADFs 2 Stick insects. Help! 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSwissAquarist Posted March 18, 2023 Author Share Posted March 18, 2023 The mystery of the golden Endler deepens! One of the gold Endlers (normally Xanthic) is a couple of shades whiter than his/her siblings. I’ve established a color grade system: Low Grade : Exhibiting small patches of gold, nothing special. Medium grade: Uniform gold all over the body, Xanthism, and the color become more intense while they develop. High Grade: A couple of shades whiter than the Gold ones, bordering on leucism. Retain a small patch of gold around the head. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSwissAquarist Posted March 22, 2023 Author Share Posted March 22, 2023 Got hit by another French analysis. 🧐 😑 Went down the mountain today to a ✨new✨ LFS (aka my version of Home Depot has opened a fish section) 😂. I got 10 tiny neons and 5 zebra Danios. Their prices are rock-bottom, which kind of scares me because people kinda undervalue the fish, and don’t put much effort into keeping it alive …anyway. I’m so proud of my pink Ludwigia 💕 😍 Have any of you got some fun looking plants? Apart from that, my stick insects have arrived! I picked them up from a guy who had 100s in a 12” (30cm) cube terrarium (correct me if I’m wrong with conversions! ). He now has 2998 left. 😜 These ones get around that 17 cm mark, so they make for a great show. New party trick? 😂 Added moss to terrarium- is it safe to collect moss in the woods if you give it the Reverse Respiration treatment @Guppysnail? Did you test the method on non-aquarium pathogens? Reverse Respiration has probably helped me so much over the previous months, so thanks!😁 On another note, I’ve become an Uncle.🥳 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive had no issues doing it this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 (edited) Your new stick friends are crazy cool. Nothing (organism wise) that requires oxygen to survive can survive RR. We did not test terrestrial plants so I’m uncertain how they would handle being submerged in seltzer. I’d love to know the outcome if you try. Terrestrial green houses to bomb with carbon dioxide gas as an insecticide. Edited March 22, 2023 by Guppysnail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
