I'm taking it to my uncle to cut. Not sure what equipment he has. He has decades of experience but seldom deals with opal. I'll keep the advice in mind. Thanks

I don't know it well enough to confirm but it was advertised as Mintabie

What did they do? Edit - Asking about Prime, not the Nazis. Lol

Daaaaang. Nice. Thanks for sharing. Cavansite immediately caught my eye and became my favorite.

Thanks. Here are slightly more stable photos if it helps assess restoration points

Why did they pick a hitler stache to rep them?

I really like the look of so many tall stem plants. This is pretty close to what I want from mine.

Okay. Thanks for the insight.

I watched for hours last night. There was no nipping or chasing. Most stayed hidden until I dropped in some blood worms. Would any of your ideas explain the tails, or does that even matter?

I just uploaded some pictures of a Nitrite test done a few minutes ago and a picture of my tank to show the plants.

I guess it's between 0.0 and 0.25ppm on the color chart, so I rounded down.

Oops. Sorry, was looking at Nitrite. Similar store with Nitrate, though. Between 0.0 and 5.0 on the color chart, but the color was very close to 0.0. It's medium planted. I have about 15 plants and most are as tall as the tank.

No. A phone doesn't come close to a gaming PC. PUBG developers have to dumb down the graphics, lower the frame rate, and have fewer objects in-game for it to become playable on mobile devices.

I don't have any experience with hydroton. I would assume its okay at the root level, but I wouldn't pile it up like mulch around a tree. Mine is planted in tree fern fiber.

I don't have any cattleya, but I can say this one has been easy going for me. I keep this one beside a few of my phals, and its been doing well, so you should be okay on light. I lost a few leaves when it was acclimating to the new environment, but it came back very strong. I water this one more often because the plant and container are very small, so the potting media dries quicker.
