    I think this might be it!

    I like to harvest wild aquatic plants. Is this Water Pimpernel?

    I live in rockland county so a bit of a hike. I would love there to be some sort of trade convention

    Rare Algae Species?

    Should have been more specific and mentioned this was last summer which is why I drew it

    Rare Algae Species?

    Hey guys, during the summer I have tons of outdoor ecospheres and mini tanks My Pygmy sunfish cube gathered this strange hexagonal algae that took over the water column I’ve been googling it for months. No one has ever mentioned a hexagon form thread algae. No pictures either. It’s a long...

    My new 10g betta sorority is my favorite tank I am currently running.

    Absolutely female bettas love to surf currents you have to remember they have a lot of control with those short fins I have 10 girls together with some snails and a few marmokreb cray growout clones

    Should I just give up and start over?

    A year on almost from this post, I am happy to say the 20g is cured of all algae I got rid of the fake rock for lava rock, added multiple aqua soils to the substrate and cut back feeding a little bit

    My new 10g betta sorority is my favorite tank I am currently running.

    The tank they moved into anyway, has lots of frogbit and Riccia for shelter And yes, that area behind the rocks is very problematic. This is an east facing window, meaning that is where the hair algae carpets…and thrives off the leftovers

    My new 10g betta sorority is my favorite tank I am currently running.

    Thanks for your advice I ended up actually moving all the bettas to a tank with a little bit of better cover and haven’t seen a single nip since. This tank is now gonna be reused for a community probably, but for now all it has are my Japanese trapdoor snails breeding like crazy and some aquatic...

    6.5G Killifish river trimmed back

    Thank you. I did a rescape yesterday that kinda split the tank into thirds: the bog and cave at the left end, a planted reef in the middle, and an iwagumi carpeted section at the very right end. It looks smaller inside, but even more cohesive and somehow even looks bigger than it did.

    6.5G Killifish river trimmed back

    Thanks so much I actually get told that a lot when I show my buds at the LFS I wasn’t going for gasps, but I get them. Definitely my best scape yet, 13 years in… Sadly the killifish ended up jumping, I thought the floating plants would prevent it. So now there’s 4 medaka to keep that top...

    A fun obscure plant: Ditch Stonecrop

    During winter the plant will create these pine cone shaped tubers in the mud or substrate. During spring these emerge into stem plants resembling pogostemon or a smooth mermaid weed. As summer progresses the leaves will broaden and lose their ability to submerge. Great marginal plant, or if you...

    I like to harvest wild aquatic plants. Is this Water Pimpernel?

    Even in the winter here in New York, in sub freezing temperatures, aquatic plants hide in the muddy banks and submerged insulated by leaves and water. To the right of the Lobelia cardinalis. Last time I had this on my hands I put it underwater without any conversion and it died. But now it’s...

    6.5G Killifish river trimmed back

    Didnt like the dark areas so I adjusted the flow and created a diagonal bog now I can see everyone and it makes me want to cry tears of joy with the beauty I achieved in this setup

    My new 10g betta sorority is my favorite tank I am currently running.

    The harmony of the Bettas is so beautiful, they like to swim around fast and play with the bubbler airstream

    What kind of crayfish is this??

    I’m quite experienced with Crays I currently have a 7 inch electric blue, a big marmokreb, a nice Clarkii, several CPO, and hundreds of Marmo baby clones It’s amazing how crayfish can be so satisfied off dead leaves alone once they have matured. I have my electric blue in with my flagfish and...

    Anybody into Pico?

    I’m a nano guy, have been for 10 years, biggest setup is a 20 and smallest is easier counted in ML. Anyone else obsessed with scale? iPhone SE for reference and light. This is my new Windowsill PicoCube

    Plant ID?

    Aha, touché, I guess I meant unique in that what shows on the surface seems most easily compared to frogbit or greater duckweed

    Plant ID?

    It does well in my outdoor setups! Seems to love surface CO2. It seems similar almost to a type of cress family. The surface floating with the bottom rooted stems is unique

    What kind of crayfish is this??

    At my new LFS job. They have lots of these and I can’t find them on google. Blue and Red claws

    Plant ID?

    Went crayfish hunting today and found this…it comes from a long thin stem in the substrate and floats on the surface like duckweed or frogbit. Any ideas? Hand for scale!

    Redid my 20g community

    Onyx sand on top of the old sand didn’t wanna risk opening up a hydrogen sulfide bubble trying to remove the packed sand, I think the color compliments it way better.
