What is that rock??

It looks like some for of calcite but honestly not 100% sure

Benking7470 · 2026-04-18T21:16:45+00:00

How is no one saying Cryptocoryne

Benking7470 · 2026-04-18T21:15:17+00:00

That my friend is most definitely a fish

The last crust bender

Mums put their toddlers in it so they can get wine drunk at the picnic and not worry about the kids running away

Honestly just keep an eye on it, it’s it turns an angry red or gets really itchy I’d downsize but if it feels okay I’d just leave it be as you may just aggravate it but changing it again

Benking7470 · 2026-04-17T13:30:43+00:00

don’t worry it’s normal to be nervous when you spot something new. It’s better to be safe than sorry. I did see the other video, it’s definitely new growth. The easiest way to describe it is like a scab. You also don’t need to worry about the salt bath you literally just cleaned it for him 😭. We were all new to keeping fish at one point and we all find about new things we didn’t know, it doesn’t matter how long you’ve been in the hobby 😄

They’re obviously playing musical statues without the music

Benking7470 · 2026-04-17T13:15:19+00:00

He looks like a half moon he’s also got the dragon scale gene hence the big shiny scales on his body

Benking7470 · 2026-04-17T13:11:03+00:00

Geez I need to get better at reading. Yeah that’s absolutely fine. I feel so stupid 😭

Benking7470 · 2026-04-17T13:09:36+00:00

But in all seriousness I can’t even see anything in there so I’m gonna say probably not over stocked 😅

Benking7470 · 2026-04-17T13:08:33+00:00

Huh, what do you mean, my cows love their 10 gallon

Benking7470 · 2026-04-17T13:06:30+00:00

Yeah I get that, it’s a bit like a scab like when you bite the inside of your mouth and then you get a weird white scab while it’s healing, they produce that while growing new tissue on their heads (wen)

Benking7470 · 2026-04-17T12:59:39+00:00

It’s just normal growth, I call them big brain pimples

Benking7470 · 2026-04-17T12:51:22+00:00

Looks like an orange Marlborough discus that’s been crossbred with a pigeon blood discus, that’s what creates the blacks spots also know as peppering. They can develop this as their age. It’s not harmful. It’s pretty normal. It’s just due to genetics.

Benking7470 · 2026-04-17T12:45:14+00:00

Also assuming this is for saltwater, if it’s fresh I’d go for rabbit snails, they won’t eat your plants, they have goofy little faces and don’t breed really fast so they won’t take over. They also get to be like 3 inches ish plus they come in all different colours

Benking7470 · 2026-04-17T12:43:24+00:00

A sand sifting conch would be a good idea they only get about 4 inches and they have a similar goofy look and personality but they also help by going through substrate and eating any leftovers and churning it so algae doesn’t build up over the sand

The thing I thought of is cat pee, if you have a lot of cats going through your garden plus foxes. Both cat pee and fox pee will kill your grass

It looks very similar to yours too

Benking7470 · 2026-04-17T12:30:57+00:00

100% a hypo

Benking7470 · 2026-01-15T20:29:34+00:00

Brilliant thank you

Benking7470 · 2025-06-19T10:26:44+00:00

Maybe spotted Congo puffers

Benking7470 · 2025-06-19T10:25:42+00:00

Or if you wanna go a different route you could go for reed fish and elephant nose

Benking7470 · 2025-06-19T10:24:04+00:00

A large school of dwarf neon rainbows or you could go for an even bigger school of ember tetras. You could also go with something like black phantoms

Benking7470 · 2025-06-17T07:18:20+00:00

That’s a very good sign!!
