And, uh.... more female monster fish keepers could be cool. ?

That's how we get more people into the hobby, right? If you guys had been jerks to me when I first started, I don't think I would have gotten this far.

Yeah. I let her know. 40 gallon is cool for grow out, don't go smaller because they get big fast, will need at least 100 in 6 months.

Okay. I was nice. She is looking into getting a bigger tank before getting a bichir.

Inner dialogue: "be nice be nice BE NICE"

Beautiful piece of art at my local coffee shop that I wish I had been able to bring home ?

I have a power head going. And lots of bubbles.

Nope. It's ick and the store lied about how long they were treating them. The rope suffocated and died and I took it back and got Paraguard that has malachite green. I raised the temp to 86. Going to vacuum sand daily for a few weeks. Any other suggestions to make sure it doesn't kill any of my...

Did another water change this morning and the nitrates seem to be around 10ppm instead of the 40 they were at before ?

I am also using Seachem Polyguard... they are on their second dose. As for getting into mischief... lucky my overflow has very thin slats that they can't fit into. (They have thoroughly checked it out) and the top of the tank has two holes, both covered by pieces of acrylic, both (since the...

Yes, they were actually being medicated for a week prior to that, and then were under observation for another week

I am still within my 7 days; do you think I should return it to my LFS?

I haven't seen it do that, but it was laying on the bubbler before. I think when it surfaces is when it changes sides of the tank.

Okay, so I recently got 3 juvie ropes and two of the ropes are absolutley fine living their best rope life, already eating and whatnot... one is chilling at the bottom and hardly moves, just moves from one side of the tank to the other occasionally. He's hanging in there, but he seems to be...

Okay, so two of the ropes are absolutley fine living their best rope life, already eating and whatnot... one is chilling at the bottom and hardly moves. He's hanging in there, but he seems to be breathing heaving. Nitrates are still orange, could that be it? My tank is very aerated, and like I...

My polys like Hikari Algae Wafers. I break up a few wafers and drop the pieces in for them. They don't soften up very fast, so they have to chew a lot, and they are a little harder to find because they smell like veggies, but they do eat them.

Thank you! I try ?

Just did a big ass water change (75%). I also got a Seachem Algae Pad (seriously the best thing if you don't want scratches) and scrubbed my acrylic. Took me 3 hours, but my fish seem super stoked. I think I'm going to donate all my little random fish and just keep the polys and my African...

I don't really have space for a trash can in my situation. Not only that, but I would need a pump to fill it and get it back out again

Yeah I've read that you can't OD on Prime, so you can drop it in beforehand and it'll treat the tap you add. I'm going to look into getting a pump. Probably cheaper than a python anyway
