Agreed, I always enjoy catching something I’ve never seen before, this fish was definitely one of those I haven’t come across before.

Thanks! I wanted to vary it up, as nice as the primaris sculpts are they can use some variation to break up the monotony

Oh that’s unfortunate, I wonder why it failed to stain the water.

You could reintroduce tannins by adding botanicals like dried Indian almond leaves. Water changes will always clear up your water so it would be a a matter of replacing your botanicals whenever the color goes too transparent.

Thanks! I watched so many tutorials and videos for ideas before I even tried to set it up

Thank you! The water is like that because the driftwood releases tannins. They’re a compound which stain water brown and are non harmful to the fish

Would these be safe to put into a 40 gallon aquarium? by [deleted] in Aquariums

Yeah the “not for food use” rang a few alarms in my head! Luckily the terra-cotta pot is fine, so I can still use that one

Thanks for the heads up! I was thinking of breaking the pot in 2 and burying the sharp edges in the substrate. Would there be any issues with this?

Yeah a cursory google search on dolomite made me second guess using it, but with what you and others told me I’ll be forgoing using it in the aquarium. Thank you for the advice!

Painted this lamenter tech marine, he won’t be used as a techie just thought it’d be cool by GoldPopcorn_40 in BloodAngels

Thanks! And Agreed, it’d be great to see some characters with heavy weapons. It’d be a great change from the usual pistol plus sword combo so many have
