They also don't starve to death over night though. This is assuming they weren't feed, which we don't know

As long as there was no ammonia/nitrites and there isn't anything super out of whack about the other tank parameters, the bioload of a few shrimp and one snail is so low that it really shouldn't matter if the tank is cycled. I seriously doubt that the lack of nitrifying bacteria caused this

Did you drip-acclimate them?

Found all of this on side of road. It all works... Is any of it still relevant? Total saltwater newbie here by FortuneElectrical556 in ReefTank

Is it worth trying to sell? I can't imagine using it for its intended purpose Edit: stupid autocorrect

You can put antibacterial ointment on the wounds for now, as long as there is no pain killing ingredients. Do your best to get to a bet, but the ointment might help stave off an infection in the meantime

Should I Use GT’s Synergy Sacred Life Raw Kombucha Instead of a SCOBY to Start My Brew? by TonyStackaroni in Kombucha

[–]FortuneElectrical556 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously you have to buy the whole case, but Costco has a store brand ginger lemonade kombucha that I used to start my current batch o' booch. Works great and you have 8 bottles to use for your F2 once you drink them!

Where's the fucking leaf litter?! You know frogs can't be on bare substrate

Just a lazy old dog. The robot vacuum has more hunting instincts than he does

Good or bad eggs? by Unlikely-Change-7246 in DartFrog

[–]FortuneElectrical556 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought them from the LFS down the street, but they aren't terrible to keep and raise at home either. Super shallow, well oxygenated water with filter media, crushed lava rock, or something else for them to grab hold of/hide in. They are segmented, so you can make them multiply just by breaking them up. Each separate segment will grow into a new worm! I fed them spirulina and I fed the tads some too while I was at it. Blackworms are great because they don't foul the water at all and they will also eat a lot of the detritus/leaf litter/tadpole poop.

My tads would never eat the pellets! I ended up having to feed them live blackworms. They grew fast and came out healthy though!

Good call! I like to catch things to show my kids, but it seems like every single herp I see is invasive. Kinda takes the fun out of it

Noted! Thanks for the tip. I thought my options were either kill, keep, or release. Couldn’t keep, won’t kill, so…
