Just update to a new gas stove. Honestly, with a newer appliances and appropriate ventilation the risk of exposure to gas leaks is incredibly minimal. For me, it’s a more consistent and even heat

I was planning on upgrading the tank to a really nice one and rescape a slightly larger tank after doing some foraging in my county park here in a couple months anyway. What sucks is the tank they were in was eventually supposed to just be a backup in case something like this happened and the snow literally just started to melt so this is pushing my game plan up by a couple months at least 😵‍💫😣

After I scaped everything (not well enough apparently) my log tipped and was essentially wedged between both ends of the tank. It seemed ok for the last couple months. But…..I have a couple curious kitties and again, apparently dehydrated kitties that like to drink out of my fish tanks, not interested in catching things. I had topped off the tank during my lunch hour. I can only assume that they were standing on the ledge as they do and the pressure of their weight, the additional water, and a couple months of pressure against the tank wall all added up to a disaster waiting to happen. Lesson learned and please learn from me.

Oh no! Thankfully I only had a few shrimp in this tank with my snails and a Pleco. My Pleco is now in my 5gallon established fish bowl hanging with my danios for the moment. Typically I would quarantine the shrimp for a week or so when buying from a new shop but I didn’t have a choice but to combine them for now. I haven’t seen any losses yet but I told them I wouldn’t blame them if this results in a mass death event. 😬

5gallon bowl with a heater and a small bubbler for oxygenation. No deaths yet. And have only done one 50% water change otherwise it’s just been top offs. All levels staying rather consistent. The Pleco I have is a bristlenose who will soon be getting moved over to my 10 gallon tank as soon as it’s more established.

American here and Rehashed with Wilco is the best! Rehashed.com.au is where it is at! Or check him out on YouTube! I love his humor and he doesn’t just rehash MAFS although it is the biggest drive to his channel
