Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Not today but over the weekend i added peppermint shrimps to eradicate a invasion of aiptasia. I must have underestimated their appetite ... all gone ... wondering how to feed them now ...
I got shrimp and salvinia today in the mail! Ah, my pumpkin shrimp are adorable!!!
Oh no oh no i found a baby snail! Just one i don't think its the child of Gary though....i didn't rinse the anacharis stupid me!!!! I may need to get assassin snails soon....
OOPS! JK
They are good cleaners, don't over feed and smash the ones you don't want, or give them to someone who wants them. I love my snails.
Understand, things are different if you have one, than if you have 100.
Today I cleaned the Aquaclear 110 inside and out, cleaned the 16G filter and prefilter, and the prefilter in the 12.
Did 10-20% pwc in 37G, 12G, 5G Chi.
Took some pics of my fish.
I have my albums full so I will have to add more later.
here is my crazy bamboo shrimp, happily fanning all the time.
I can imagine that shrimp saying do you even lift bro. Have they all got large legs like that or is he an anomaly? Looks pretty cool.
I bought two more Rasboras to complete my school. I have 8 now. I am considering moving the new pair into a newly set up tank as the starter fish fairly soon. I have a load of cycled media to get things running. 6 fish in QT in total divided by 2 tanks so my fish with fungus can continue treatment without the addition of potential new problems with my new stock.
My sister and niece visited today and wanted to see my fish. They normally only show a touch of excitement but today they saw Kuhlis and my small bristlenose decided to show off his/her belly and cleaning technique on the glass. Sister said she would love a Bristlenose plec as a passing comment (sucker fish in her words) and had to put up with me trying to get a 20g set up in her house until she tires of it. I had to feed some bloodworms to get the kuhlis out. They were grossed out by the worms but loved the Kuhlis which they had not spotted before today. Sister was even 95% correctin her memory of Kuhli Lurches. They had a tonne of questions that i enjoyed answering. I will get them to adopt a tank eventually. Niece told me i have too many tanksmaybe in hopes i would donate one ofthe 8 empties i have. I would happily donate one if she is allowed.
Forgot the pic of the stand haha View attachment 221226
I took this 10g apart yesterday, then filled it up with eco complete and sfgiants plants I got
