Awh! Excited for you :) My boyfriend would do the EXACT same thing (roll eyes, grunt)

Hey Chris! The DIY sounds like it`ll be great! Would like to see pictures in the future. Don`t feel too bad I have no friends either.. Only in the real world (yes friends other than my fish :lol:). lol

Bare in mind you risk stunting the growth of the fish.. Also, your tank is infront of a window. As much of a pain as it`d be you may want to move it if you start seeing algae. Edit: I notice now that you have algae.

I didn't think it was impossible to cycle - thanks. This is what I remember being told. With a small number of fish - wouldn't it be just as easy to keep stable as a large aquarium? ie. single betta in a 5gal.

Amquel makes ammonia not toxic for fish. You'll still get a reading but it won't harm them. As for the rest, I wouldn't want to say.

Bahaha beef. Anyways. Thanks for asking this - I've been wondering the same for awhile too. BTW there's an edit button under anything you've posted :)

I would recommend against buying any females that are extremely gravid. If they look like they're going to BURST - pick a different one. It can stress them out to transport and put them into a new tank. You run the risk of her never delivering. By this I mean - she is pregnant, the babies are...

Fantastic! I'm a big guppy fan :) They DO have their own personalities (fishonalities? haha) - Ask ANNYYY guppy owner

They look great! Congratulations :)

Livebearers gestation is ~30 days. I find that mine stay pregnant just a bit longer than this though.

Happy you find it! :) The floor and behind your tank are the FIRST places you want to look. Bought a new common pleco about a two years ago.. It went missing, didn't think much of it.. Never appeared. UNTIL I moved to another city, moved the tank & stand and there it was, all mummified. :bawl...

Good point to bring up. They definitely exponentially increase. Fishies EVERYWHERE. :fish1::fish1::fish1::fish1::fish1::fish1::fish1:

Thanks BillD! It's a bit backdated (2010) so strange I've never heard of it before. Interesting though. I think this is a feasible option. But it turns out we don't get to decide :lol: I can understand that this rumour has been around for years - but to be told by a LFS is another thing -...

Nitrates that low are possible from the tap. My local water is 0.

It was definitely the start of algae on the glass. As soon as I started scrubbing it off you could see it was actually green in large amounts. Put the light on a timer, got a moss ball and getting more plants in the future. Thanks for the help!
