FISH PEEPS!!! The change over happened. Loads of work- but heres how it went: 30 g bare-bottom, plants in pots, very little flow and noisy... Now, planted 55g- with flow, and quiet! My goal was to use sand (as i heard its good for yoyos- yes i know they may uproot plants)- to make it look like a...

@Madness ty!!! I loved those websites! Ive been feeding my yoyos a varied diet- including freeze dried blood worms once a week... Good to know that bloodworms may not be the best idea! thank you so much! Plus you have loaches... Big, mean loaches lol! Im pretty sure those guys- and that large...

I love fish- and learning about fish- and the science piece of keeping these lil friends - i just wish there was RIGHT or WRONG lol. My life and learning curve would be so much better- and quicker!! ;) Loren youve been so kind- just a thank you for making this learning biz easier!

@Bob Thank you- i appreciate the kind words... And that someone else understands my situation- frustrated (even if it were years ago) like i am... I also appreciate the advice!! Hopefully i will get better at this stuff some time.

I feel like a fish storm rant has come... So i was thinkin of doing a species only for my loaches... Thought i was getting a bigger tank- but got a 55. Look. Here is what i bought: Yup. I shouldve checked the tank out in person. Yup, i shouldve asked for dimensions- not taken their word for...

Hi Ethan- welcome! Im new as well- so not much to offer as far as advice goes- but i love the betta (all bettas in general)! The 5.5 gallons are recommened .. Lol i have 3 of them- and now wish all of them were 10 gallons each! Your betta will love the room... Wondering what you will be...

@Loren Its lovely here- spent the morning on the lake :) Thank you for your reply! A species only tank wouldnt be bad! I love these guys!

Ok guys... I bought a bigger tank. My yoyos are only about 2.5 inches but they are growing .... I wanted a 75 but got a 55 for now. So the story of my yoyos- i wanted 3. They were only sold in group of 6 from Wetspot... So i have 6. I figured some wouldnt make the shipment- but they did. I...

Holy smokers! That plant in the front on the lower left side grew HUGE!! Nice job! Loving the video updates!

@L190 Is there a link that tells how to make clay balls? I ordered some red clay tabs but they were so thin... Balls would maybe disintegrate slower ? @Bob I didnt know osmocote capsules release ammonia... I wonder if the 'slow' release isnt noted as much because the plants gobble it up...

I bought some of these from Ebay... Not sure about the pinhole - its hard to see if there was one in mine- but mine still bubbled... Popped open. My plants seem to enjoy the fert that stayed in the substrate though! Thinkin about trying a liquid fert Cory has at his store... General fertilizer...

Cleaned 4 of the 5 aquariums- (and 1 gecko tank)... trying 30% pwc on these 4 -twice per week instead of 1 giant one once a week... Moved kevin from hosp tank back to his home... Trimmed all plants- even though some dont look like it... And harvested snails for yoyos... (Not in that order)...

@BabyGirl77 and @Cory thank you for the replies! @BabyGirl77 I do typically only use one med at a time - a week on, then a week for observation in his regular tank... If no improvement i move on to the next treatment. This specific set of meds was recommended for new fish- (quarantine) and the...

@Ali thank you for the reply! Ive been using catappa- im currently out though. His 'normal' tank usually has a leaf sitting on the bottom... His last one - was no more (lol disintegrated) last week. I dont mind tannis and read its good for bettas- but i think my ramshorns liked the leaf more...

My betta is about 1 (? Ive had him about a year)... I have never seen his full tail... Just wondering if there is anything else i can do for him He normally lives in a 5.5 with mts, and ramshorn, and assasins Temp: 78 Ph: 7.8 Gh: 5 drops Kh: 6 drops Ammonia: 0 Nitrite: 0 Nitrate: 0 Tried on...
