Did a complete rescape of my 10G to create a lot more caves and tunnels since I just received my first pair of Apistogrammas.

So, my plan for hatching the eggs did work. The java moss + air bubbler + breeding box did work. Unfortunately, when I was moving the moss around trying to find all the eggs, some of the fry must of been in the moss still and wriggled free and into the tank (as I was inspecting the moss out of...

Take 4 lasted about a week before they expired due to a mistake on my part. Going for Take 5 now. Left the eggs (4) on some Java Moss in a breeder box yesterday. Will update later.

Decided to interrupt Take 3 and just move onto Take 4 pretty early on last week. Take 4 consisted of an airstone inside an enclosed tub that was inside the parents' tank. Managed to get the eggs to hatch Tuesday. So far, the offspring are doing well. I have moved over a marimo moss ball, some...

Did a 75% WC on both of my tanks the other day and rearranged the scapes within them. My 10G had a lot of mulm all over the place from the organics in there before the WC and now it just looks a lot nicer. I moved the breeder box from my 10G to my 5.5G with the sword fry inside and made sure it...

Take 2 didn't take, even with an air stone in the breeder box. Starting Take 3 this morning. Moved the eggs I managed to find, just two this time, over to a bowl filled with water from the tank the parents are in. Moved the air stone into the bowl with the eggs to continually aerate the water...

Bought some Guppy Grass (Naja Grass) at a club meet last night. Split that amongst my tanks, and managed to catch a few swordtail fry out and put them into a breeder box. Started making a dream fish list because of some of the things I saw on auction last night.

Just got back from taking it in and exchanging it. Both myself and the manager couldn’t figure out what was up with that one filter. Managed to get ahold of a working one. Alls well that ends well.

I only got a chance to try it out late last night after things had closed up. They’ll probably offer to exchange it or refund when I take it to them. I’m just curious as to why the pump never started in the first place.

I went out and bought a Tetra Whisper Air Pump 10 to help aerate the breeder box I have, containing some Cory eggs. However, when I’d set it up as instructed the pump didn’t start at all. I’ve tried to find advice on what to do online but nothing really fits the situation. I mean, it’s Brand...

Couldn’t find any of the eggs or fry at last check. Going to hope that they are still around but I think Take 1 has fallen through. Last night began Take 2. Going for this attempt with a Breeder Box that’ll stay in the parent tank. Dropped a lot of plants into the box, some because they had...

Will do. I have decided doing such large water changes is probably more detrimental than helpful so I'm only doing 25% every day or so. I've put in some dried leaves I've had lying around. Going to be doing a WC tonight, I'll look around and see if the eggs have hatched since I last did a...

Over the course of the last couple of days, I've woken up to find corydora eggs on the wall of my aquarium. I have only ever raised guppy fry successfully so I am uber nervous, but I kinda want to try and raise these guys if I can. To prep myself, I have watched a few videos to get some...

Moved four cory eggs from my community tank to a 1G cube and set that up to hold them late last night. Just finished doing a WC on that when I noticed some white protrusions on one of my new Flagfish. Moved him over to quarantine with a little M-Blue in his tank to try and treat. He’s still...

Got two new Bettas in the last month. Finding myself really enjoying the orange one more.

Found out that my two female guppies both decided to pop on the same day. Moved all of the baby guppies I could over to a grow out container and relocated the momma's over to a smaller environment to recover before I put them back into the 10G...also buys me time to make sure I get out all of...

I agree with everybody in that some red would pop nicely in your tank. Do you know if Super Red Ludwiga is available to you, cause that is a nice looking plant that should work and it looks pretty different from everything else you already have in there.

I've seen some other people have success with reptile feeding through the use of tongs before. I don't know how good of an option that would be for this scenario cause I do not have a reptile myself, but it seemed like a good way to feed stubborn/messy eaters. Do you think that might work?

The last week has been a pretty busy fish week for me. My 10G planted has been set up and cycled for about a month now, kind of hard to miss the ammonia bloom given it has fluval stratum. Been watching and anticipating the point when it finished cycling for a while so when it reached 0 A : 0 Ni...

I got a sponge over the filter. Not sure how fine the pores in it are though, so I guess it's possible they got sucked through the sponge into the filter. I got the sponge for the filter with fry the size of guppy fry in mind, not something so tiny like a zebra danio fry. Also possible they...

I have not seen the fry in my 5.5G in the last couple days, does this that they have passed away or is it possible they are just hiding in a spot I can't well see currently?
