Hi Prishiel. Where are you based?
I am not sure about Plants A and C but B is indeed limnophilla sessiliflora. It grows like crazy with even just a little bit of ferts and the...
So pleased to find somebody else with the little affliction. It seems easy enough to remove by hand but it always comes back. Shrimp seem to keep...
Have you tried Lots of Pots? The one on Lynwood Road almost always has lots of Pothos. Alternatively, you can let me know if you find yourself in...
Thanks, @A new day . I found the thread!
So I purchased some Christmas Moss a few months back and it rather quickly developed a case of Black Beard Algae. I have been in the hobby for...
I started two no-CO2 tanks using the Walstad method (so no expensive aquasiols but instead used good ol' garden soil with a gravel cap). Both grew...
@Reedfish , that's horrible! Perfectly natural but also perfectly horrible. Not of your friend, of course. The mental image of a nymph eating a...
I will do more research but some breeders report that they can even overwinter outdoors in northern US climes where the ponds freeze over.
Thanks, @TheGrissom . I have looked into the minnows; they seem to be really fuss-free.
Thanks, @PappaBear . I have kept Zebra Danios before but their aggressive nature is, I must admit, not to my taste. I watched them bully each...
Could anybody recommend smaller fish that can be kept without a heater? I have a spare 40l (or thereabouts) tank knocking around and it would be...
Safari garden centre in Lynwood has for sure. I got some there a while ago. You can also try Lots of Pots (also in Lynwood); they have an orchid...
Today marks the first water change on the tank since I started this thread last week. I did a 10% change and added some Seachem Flourish; let's...
Never mind. Your macro shots show something that is definitely not hydra.
I don't want to sound the alarm bells but it looks like you might just have some hydra on your hands. Try poking at one to see if they recoil. If...
Thanks for the suggestion; I will slow the addition of fresh water. 6l is indeed small but I thought I would try something particularly...
I suppose that 'big' might be a bit of a relative term when it comes to water changes. The tank is a filterless nano setup and holds about 6l. It...
They also seem to molt right after a big water change? Does anyone know the science behind why it happens this way?
I must reveal my bias here. I have some Ember Tetras in a nano tank and they are tremendously endearing little things.
