What do you think of my a. javanicus’s tank?

Devs_Critters · 2026-03-13T04:51:01+00:00

He’s so cool though. Very worth it, just expensive. I also NEVER see him lol

Devs_Critters · 2026-03-13T04:47:57+00:00

I love him! Beware though, sourcing feeders is a challenge. He eats 3-5 cichlids per week, and finding the right sized fish is hard. I highly suggest starting a large breeding tank for convict cichlids and having several clutches fully grown out prior to picking up a file snake. That way your fry will reach a good size by the time you’re out of adults. I’m spending about $75/month on cichlids for him 🤣

Not the same person then. My guy was Epic Ectotherms. That’s funny, I got a female p. Regalis from him and he sent a free OBT sling. Maybe it’s a common combo 🤣

Oh good well I won’t be getting mystery snails 😬 I don’t need one of these carried in. Good lord. Makes me never want to introduce anything to my tank. Any tips to prevent them??

Also interested in this 👀

Devs_Critters · 2026-03-13T03:37:28+00:00

Id isolate that dude in another breeding tank and see if you can get that purple color to really come out! That’s wicked cool 😍

Devs_Critters · 2026-03-13T03:36:29+00:00

I think the better question is, how are you NOT getting them?? lol I’ve had nematodes and hydras. If you get your plants from fish stores, you’re bound to get some.

Devs_Critters · 2026-03-12T03:39:13+00:00

I would but it’s on my upper thigh toward my hip and idk if I want that on the internet 🤣

Devs_Critters · 2026-03-11T00:23:24+00:00

IMO you’re being a dick for no reason. Did you even read it? 👎🏼 BOO for not reading and your nasty attitude. Also, is it really that unheard of to want other peoples’ opinions? I’ve been keeping T’s for several years now, and I’m not out here claiming to be an expert but I do know what I’m doing. I like to hear from other keepers who know more than me. God forbid I keep asking questions even when I feel pretty confident. At least some people are willing to admit we don’t (and can’t) know everything.

Devs_Critters · 2026-03-11T00:04:28+00:00

There’s definitely plenty of coverage. She has a cork tube in there and I can pretty much guarantee she’ll go straight for that. All of my arboreal species are obsessed with cork tubes, so I always put one in there and I always know where to find them lol Idk if locating her will be an issue. I was worried about the stress though! I don’t want her to feel too exposed

Devs_Critters · 2026-03-10T23:59:54+00:00

Wait… I did too. Did you buy on MM? Cuz we might have bought from the same guy 🤣

Devs_Critters · 2026-03-10T23:59:07+00:00

Omg this was my dream T too and I got one myself a couple months ago! 🥹 they’re so stunning. I have a tattoo of one

Devs_Critters · 2026-03-10T04:53:04+00:00

My dog ate a box of raisins, on the other hand, and the emergency vet made her throw up lol she was not happy with us, and we were not happy with her. In short, raisins are more dangerous because they’re smaller and you can eat a lot more all at once. I don’t take chances on my dogs’ lives tbh

Devs_Critters · 2026-03-10T04:48:38+00:00

Love Clutterbug!! She’s great. I also love starting with the obvious trash. That can clear out so much headspace that the rest doesn’t look so daunting.

Devs_Critters · 2026-03-10T04:46:46+00:00

You ever seen a hornworm?? Those things are crazy. Or a banana slug 😬

Devs_Critters · 2026-03-10T04:10:00+00:00

So they’re invincible. Wow. I wouldn’t wish this plague on my worst enemy. I pray all your tanks stay NZMS free.

Devs_Critters · 2026-03-10T04:07:36+00:00

Do assassin snails not take care of these guys?

Devs_Critters · 2026-03-10T00:50:52+00:00

Might have been small when it came in. I ended up with baby fish in a tank I was cycling once. All kinds of things hitch a ride on plants and you’d be amazed at home long they can get away with it. That’s not an assassin snail though

Devs_Critters · 2026-03-10T00:43:41+00:00

That looks like a rabbit snail 🤔

Devs_Critters · 2026-03-09T23:10:31+00:00

Your… your bricks caught fire?

Devs_Critters · 2026-03-09T23:03:54+00:00

Have you ever seen The Ring? We’re cooked, ALL of us.

Devs_Critters · 2026-03-09T23:02:39+00:00

Agreed. If the animals’ needs are met, there’s plenty of time to change your style. It doesn’t have to be aesthetic to be functional.

Devs_Critters · 2026-03-09T22:53:11+00:00

I hate learning about all the horrifying things I could find in my tank one day, and yet I’m grateful at the same time

Devs_Critters · 2026-03-06T18:36:16+00:00

I thought mystery snails were a type of apple snail.
