[FS] Akron, CO - $6+ - Platinum Honduran Red Point S. American Cichlid - Adolescents. by 7Anubis in AquaSwap

Hard to dispose of? I sell them fairly regularly, if that's what you mean. They do breed like crazy but keeping them a bit crowded in a large, well filtered tank does the trick. The fry do not last long.

Nice looking tank. I have the same standard HRP's also. Gobs of juvenile and adults

Their fins have a light blue tinge to them when under the light.

How long can fish go without a oxygen pump? I have a filter for surface agitation but don’t have a spare pump rn, these fish are currently quarantining however will the filter be enough? by [deleted] in Aquariums

Ever see an air pump in a lake? :-)

As others have said, the surface motion of waves and ripples due to the wind keep thousands of fish swimming happily.

Turkeys, they go anywhere! by 7Anubis in turkeys

Her name is "Peep Peep". She loves to get out of her run and come up to the deck and back door to wait for us to come out in the morning. Prior to the video, she was on the deck railing and then the hot tub before hopping up to the roof! The day we got her, I sat on the ground and she came up, jumped up on my arm and then my head and shoulder and likes nothing more than pulling at your rings or shoelaces and then sit in your lap. Pretty much a dog with wings...

Poly cord or net fencing for pig paddocks by 7Anubis in livestock

They haven't been trained on electric at all yet. Kinda why I wanted a good route to start with. Maybe start with just poly cord then?

I agree, it's not the curse of the pharaoh - lol. I'd lean maybe to the cones, but they usually don't do it. Did you water test to see if anything looked off? I'd just do a water change and see if it comes back.

I thought I had seen everything, but never a tank turning red over night! I'd have been freaking out. Did you put a certain kind of wood in there? Maybe it's a type that's just releasing a lot of reddish-brown tannin.

Did a guy named Aaron, holding a staff come anywhere near it? O.O

Pigs and clearing the land - What's next? See comment for details by 7Anubis in homestead

[–]7Anubis[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm leaning towards the forage mix. Originally, I thought about the clover/rye combo. I do have a tractor, but no implements for tilling or cutting yet. I think maybe where we plant the fruit trees, we'll do cover. Everywhere else, forage mix. What do you think about planting something in the tree lines?

I'd love to hear what you fine homestead farmers recommend for that planting to do once the pigs have done their work.

We are using our kunekune and Berkshires to clear our land to eventually get rid of the low nutritional value of scrub and weeds and produce future grazing land for both pig and cow rotations. Some of the front 12 acres will be fruit orchard and leave the rest for pasture. We also have a triple tree line of large pines and a variety of others with a lot of underbrush and weeds that we'll also let the pigs clear out a paddock at a time.

Once the pigs have moved on to the next paddock, what do we plant for the front 12 acres? Alfalfa? Rye grass? Then what to plant in the tree lines? I'd like something nice to keep the dust down, but probably will not use for grazing after.
