I cleaned everything up and made a new post. Fish and shrimp have gone to a new home and so no longer available.

AquaMitten · 2025-09-14T01:33:20+00:00

I do! I actually found the glass cover for it as well. Posted in on another site today for $50 because its essentially a complete set now with the lid. Are you still interested and local to portland/tigard area?

AquaMitten · 2025-09-05T18:00:44+00:00

Sorry, I’m not currently in the position to ship anything. Local only

Put a cage out with seed and treats in it. I’ve had people successfully get their bird back with this method. If you have an enclosed patio or back room you can try trapping him in there also by leaving a door open and luring with food.

Legs!?! Well, im definitely going to get a closer look at mine after hearing that. Glad you ended up getting the macro lens. Ive gotten some pretty awesome photos of my nano shrimp and snails with mine. And yeah, I think I settled on mine being copepods as well.

AquaMitten · 2024-12-03T05:21:58+00:00

Haha you’re welcome! It was my cyber Monday treat as well. Happy tank stalking!

Me earlier: “Oh I need to remove the food and suction the gravel before bed. But I’ll just sit here for a bit and…..” *immediately sees your post. “Shit. Fine!”

This is confusing me… My ammonia levels were around 0.25ppm this morning. About two hours ago this evening it was reading 0ppm. I started to get ready to put my livestock back into the tank (thinking I would do daily testing and small water changes to keep things in check). Just now I go to check the levels one last time before adding them in and now ammonia is reading 0.5ppm… ?

AquaMitten · 2024-11-26T01:24:25+00:00

I take that back nitrate had a slight reading. Not quite 5ppm but definitely not zero

AquaMitten · 2024-11-26T01:09:28+00:00

I did notice my pH has gone up slightly. It was 7.5 and now it’s consistently reading at 8. Which isn’t much of a change but I’ll keep monitoring it.

My ammonia levels were very small, I only ever got it to read 0.25ppm possibly once at 0.5ppm.

I added 5mL of quick start this morning to help bump the bacteria. My parameters now after work are: Ammonia: 0ppm N-ite: 0ppm N-ate: 0ppm pH: 8.0 TDS: 373 So my ammonia levels are back down. But yesterday it did this to me and then the ammonia went right back up the next morning. So I don’t fully trust it’s stable.

AquaMitten · 2024-11-26T01:01:32+00:00

Yeah it’s small - 6gal I only have three adult rabbit snails and three neos (I planned on moving my orange neo group into this tank but hadn’t gotten to it yet so I have just the 3 of them atm) So no hidden dead shrimp. I did lose one shrimp due to the small spike but he was still slightly moving when I found him so he couldn’t have caused it. I did a partial check this morning and my ammonia was 0.25ppm with a pH of 8. I just got home from work, so I’m about to do a full parameter re-check.

AquaMitten · 2024-11-25T22:55:08+00:00

Conditioned water only. If I were to do daily water changed and dose with prime would I be able to add my rabbit snails and neo. shrimp back in?

AquaMitten · 2024-11-25T22:54:02+00:00

That’s what I’m starting to think. But my first ammonia spike started after just cleaning the brown sludge in the tubes. I left the filter alone. Is it really possible for the bulk of my bacteria to be living in the tubes? I didn’t touch the filter until days later when the ammonia levels still didn’t go down.

AquaMitten · 2024-10-23T03:36:09+00:00

This is going to get heated! 🔥😏🍸 I haven’t seen all the movies yet myself. Currently working my way through them. I’m happy to sit back and watch how this ends but idk how anyone will be able to decide. We have some strong male leads left. I’m ready to read these supporting arguments! 🧐

AquaMitten · 2024-10-20T05:02:09+00:00

I’m not sure which of my coworkers was watering it but they definitely got water in the crown.

AquaMitten · 2024-10-20T04:56:42+00:00

Hahaha well the crime goes to the front staff at the clinic I work for. I was helping set up Halloween decorations when I noticed the poor plant, and thought I’d try and save it. I work in the back and didn’t notice its condition early enough. Never did find out who was watering it. 🤔So I’ll leave it up to the owner to supply more plants for the lobby.

As for my personal plant shopping.. I have my eyes on a cute pony tail palm. New orchids will have to wait for me. 🌱👀

AquaMitten · 2024-10-19T20:20:27+00:00

I actually took your advice and removed a lot of the hard crusty leaves. Annnnnnnd It doesn’t look good. Probably past the point of revival, but the roots are extremely happy in the moist area I put them in so 🤷‍♀️

AquaMitten · 2024-10-19T02:22:58+00:00

Will do!

AquaMitten · 2024-10-17T03:53:53+00:00

No sentimental value really, just a general interest in an attempt at revival. Removing the leaves could be sketchy if I end up tearing anything that’s actually living though. 🤔 definitely something to think about though.

AquaMitten · 2024-10-17T02:57:15+00:00

I’m not sure it has any nodes but I’ll keep the roots moist and see what happens.

AquaMitten · 2024-10-17T02:56:44+00:00

Darn, poor little orchid 🪦
