    Oh Deer!

    I hunt too. ? And as for deer populations, it is different here in Canada opposed to the U.S. (I should know, I used to shoot American deer that crossed into Canada). But it's done through draws via Fish and Game. They're constantly tracking numbers. Too many = extra tags. I'm part of an...

    Is this an apistos Agassi? Please help identify.

    Thank you Toby_H ... Some more great useful info for me. Much appreciated. I haven't looked into any fish clubs, between work and being a single parent; time is limited. It's been almost 3 yrs since I last made it to an outdoorsmen function. The fish, plants and flowers is how I try to keep my...

    Is this an apistos Agassi? Please help identify.

    Here's a pic of the tank, before and after. In the after pic, you can see all 3 Apisto's (kinda, one's looking at you). Before .... And after (the almond leaves will help, thank you).

    Is this an apistos Agassi? Please help identify.

    Thank you for the further insight. Can't comment on water parameters, I still need to get a test kit. Just that I've been doing 50% water changes every 4-5 days. I hadn't known or read about the tannis, but it's joyful info for me. (I have Almond Leaves already). I picked them up (all 3) roughly...

    Is this an apistos Agassi? Please help identify.

    Thank you very much everyone. And thanks for answering my 2nd (upcoming) question tlindsey. I've got 3 of them, exact same ... So it looks like I ended up with 3 females (which I'd been wondering about). Glad to hear they're Agassi's (which I wanted). Now the quest begins for a male or two...

    Is this an apistos Agassi? Please help identify.

    I was sold three fish labeled Apistos Agassi, but I'm not 100% on it. Is there someone who can verify this, or tell me what it is; if it isn't what it was labeled as. Thank you in advance.

    My return .... Starting small

    Well with the snowstorm in the U.S. my fish order was cancelled. So no Banjo's yet. Instead got some further work done, fixing the filters and getting the 4th tank fully running. It's slowly coming along.

    My return .... Starting small

    Thanks, that seems simple enough that even an old farmboy like me could do it. And I have lots of hoses. But first of all "where did you find a waterbed anything" I thought they were obsolete. ? Yep I need to change the faucet. Couldn't believe someone would put a basic bathroom faucet on a...

    My return .... Starting small

    Thank you. And .... Gawd help me, they are. ? Plus you had to mention the "Python water change system". Something I had bought and lost in the divorce. Never got a chance to use it. ? The buckets are convenience only, regardless of the day ... I can do a quick water change. I'm lucky my water...

    My return .... Starting small

    Thank you. I love the feedback, it's part of the reason for the post. First. The two filters, I agree ... Eyesore. It's plain lazyness while I situate everything. There's a hole in the wall providing access to power of two of the tanks. While the other two are on a separate breaker. All tanks...

    My return .... Starting small

    The next day the rest of the guppies were dead. It was my heater, cooked them all. But hey it's old equipment I'm trying to reuse. But some of the babies survived. So I settled on a substrate, made a few changes to the layout. Grabbed some more guppies (to keep the tank going) and finally moved...

    My return .... Starting small

    Note to self, if you see something not right, fix it ASAP. Thankfully I'm just getting started, the guppies aren't a priority; but it still sucked seeing 4 dead today. I spent part of yesterday, adding pothos and philos to my tank tops. This specific tank only got pothos. After which, we were...

    My return .... Starting small

    Thanks for the chuckle .... OCD, hmmm. After 16 yrs of parenting, I may have a touch now. ? That "monster" plant is from the dieffenbachia family. I actually chopped it down 2 or 3 yrs ago, so it could regrow. It was a rescue, my mom had been slowly killing. I've a few larger plants now, and...

    My return .... Starting small

    Thank you. Yep as the kids said "you can have that corner, as long as the rest of the room is our domain". The guppies are doing their job, plus giving us entertainment. Searching/seeing how many babies have survived has been a game, my youngest and I, have been playing. I do need to add more...

    My return .... Starting small

    Guess this is an update on the rebuild .... kinda helps me sort out what I'm doing/where I'm going :screwy: The Julli Cories and the Bristlenose plecos are enjoying the 35g. Next up is the Blue Ram's, but thinking of adding substrate to the tank first. So kinda pausing for the moment, instead...

    Inching my way back .... it's been a journey.

    In the end, I got 2 awesome boys .... but I was once that kid myself. I did date a lady for a year, but she wanted to move way faster ... so I recently ended it. I'm in no hurry, besides my retirement plans involve me moving back to the country (leaving the blasted city behind). In the...

    Inching my way back .... it's been a journey.

    LOL ... Thanks man. But is divorce ever ok .... Honestly it's been a tough 5/6 yrs. I lost everything (materialistic), but got a clean slate to start over (no debt). I knew what was important #1 my kids #2 my beat-up old truck to get to work (she got my new Jeep Wrangler) #3 my dog (she was...
