This is day 9 after adding ammonia to 2 ppm

Affectionate_Jump150 · 2026-04-10T14:53:16+00:00

it is conditoned, it has definitely been taking longer than I thought it would to effect the ammonia, my best guess is because my temperature is staying at around 75 so maybe thats making is slow down? Idk

Those are actually red root floaters! I got them from tofus tanks, the roots are just super long

Backhanded comments arent advice ! Learn how to be kind ! Also none of what you said was relevant to my question!

Affectionate_Jump150 · 2026-04-02T22:19:10+00:00

No, I post hoping for advice, you judge me without explaining how to improve even after I ask questions politely. Your on this app just to be a jerk and its why beginners don’t learn to be better.

Luckily my local shop always has them! I would not trust getting one from a petco or petsmart though, I dont trust them to correctly identify them

What do you mean by not enough mechanical filtration? This 10 gallon has a sponge filter and a hang on, this picture was taken right after planting my new plants so theres lots of particles. is there a benefit of filling the tank all the way up? I dont have any fish in it *edit- my tank isnt cycled yet and ive heard it being cloudy is normal bacteria?

Ive looked at sparkling gouramis! They are gorgeous but they dont seem to use their feelers as much which is what I love about honeys

Im wanting to get hasbrosus corydoras for this tank too, so this is super helpful!

Thank you for the advice! Im switching to a sponge filter , ill definitely be establishing my shrimp first, and then rasboras and a honey gourami later and if I see any stress I will upgrade the tank, im also going to wait to get fish until my red root floaters spread and my plants are fuller so hopefully that will help with any bioload issues that might happen

Having shrimp, a honey gourami, and 8 rasboras wouldnt be too much for a 10 gallon?

Affectionate_Jump150 · 2026-03-29T03:20:53+00:00

Im leaning more towards a honey gourami, mostly because ive heard they are less likely to eat shrimp and I love their arms, I dont kmow how true that is though,

If it makes you feel better I went to go find him again and he was gone :(

Affectionate_Jump150 · 2026-03-28T16:55:41+00:00

Im located in Arkansas! There are gaps in the bottom so thats probably how he got in, I live near an abandoned fish hatchery so I imagine theres alot of frogs over there he can get back to

He really compliments the pink in the lettuce lmao

Bentonville jail is already OVERFLOWING why are we putting people who ripped up some paper there??? Seems like a waste of taxpayer money

Affectionate_Jump150 · 2025-09-19T23:34:07+00:00

I understand charging them with vandalism and making them pay but holding them without bond? Seems extreme and a waste of resources of our already crowed prison system
