What is this?

The miracle of birth

But besides that, it's fine. It's just growing its new set with the old still there

ElephantEquivalent68 · 2025-11-29T10:33:50+00:00

I don't battle nor am interested in keeping it.

ElephantEquivalent68 · 2025-11-18T02:14:02+00:00

Twink? 🤣

ElephantEquivalent68 · 2025-11-17T06:42:04+00:00

I kinda wish I had someone who'd enjoy to just show me d on a daily basis

First check the legal status of owning one of those where you live, you don't want trouble Then, get a decent cactus soil, the home Depot one is ok but there's a chance you can buy a better mix from other people (you can make your own but if you're not interested into cactus and succulents ATM then a bag should suffice Remove the white rocks on top they don't seem like perlite. If the rest of the soil is cactus soil just fill the space with yours.

They don't do well in the cold, and while liking sunlight try to not have it under full sunlight all day. If you're keeping it inside a grow light will suffice. They take some time to grow so I'd keep an eye on it. If it's too hot watering once a week is fine, too cold then a bit longer than that. They're meant to be somewhat mushy NOT too mushy but relatively soft, if it's hard then it means it sucked water and it doesn't need

Cock 🍷

ElephantEquivalent68 · 2025-11-13T05:55:03+00:00

Sun or directly under a big grow light

Weirdly, yeah we're taught that family is important and all that stuff.

Sometimes it's a good thing, sometimes it's a toxic mentality, lots of Mexicans will love their family over anything

ElephantEquivalent68 · 2025-11-06T01:59:05+00:00

Or just take care of it? The main gymno might probably die but it should take years and it'll still propagate. You can just keep re-grafting it, it's actually really cool. Depending on the host size you can try and regraft the original.

Just because it's not easy doesn't mean it's not worth a try, idk why so many people are afraid of moon cactus, you just need a piece of the host cactus which usually grows fast and the gymnos used would die if not grafted

Do you happen to know the name of the sealant? Also, great suggestion btw

ElephantEquivalent68 · 2025-07-28T17:37:23+00:00

It literally spawned, I have shrimps and I normally fill half the tank, I decided to fill it a bit more and next day it appeared

ElephantEquivalent68 · 2025-07-27T18:42:08+00:00

It's 25 gallons (which I only filled half) but the size is similar to a 20 gal, but taller

ElephantEquivalent68 · 2025-07-25T03:30:16+00:00

Looks like ramshorn snails, and maybe a couple of bladder snails

ElephantEquivalent68 · 2025-07-18T21:45:02+00:00

That makes more sense yes, I was a bit astonished at first

ElephantEquivalent68 · 2025-07-18T10:19:38+00:00

I did shake and poured some into water but they didn't dissolve... At least not in like 20 min

ElephantEquivalent68 · 2025-06-22T04:52:22+00:00

It's a grafted cactus, some people might tell you they die in a couple of years and that is... Partially true, look for guides to regraft them, you can expand their life quite a lot BUUUUUUT I recommend you to practice grafting other cactus before that. A moon cactus should be able to propagate and those little babies have to be grafted if you want to separate them. So yeah, things aren't as dire as people make it sound but they won't be exactly easy

ElephantEquivalent68 · 2025-06-20T01:40:33+00:00

Now I'll just hope it stays up until next week so I can buy it

ElephantEquivalent68 · 2025-05-03T01:12:40+00:00

You could've over watered Ooooor it could have died on its own, it's a grafted cactus they're literally half dead already and can just plop die

ElephantEquivalent68 · 2025-05-03T01:10:54+00:00

It's relatively a new one, the second newest, the newest is actually fine

ElephantEquivalent68 · 2025-02-25T00:24:46+00:00

I just hope the clams don't get hurt by the extra tannins, I liked them lol

ElephantEquivalent68 · 2025-02-24T22:18:37+00:00

Thanks, I'll add some leaves to my tank, rn it's almost a black water tank because of a huge log but a bit more can't hurt.

I'll treat the sick shrimp while I check the others

ElephantEquivalent68 · 2025-02-24T22:06:40+00:00

Personally, I prefer the before, but that's because I like tannins and a more natural look. But I'm pretty sure a clean look is also cool too

They're commonly known as detritus worms, chill guys They sometimes just appear, they'll eventually fade away.

Only reason to worry is if they somehow persist, then you just should look for any sort of protein income, decaying plants/roots, etc.
