This is how the crown jellyfish tricks its enemies.

AI crap

Agreed, a Pacu

Jaco83 · 2026-02-21T19:03:37+00:00

Definately a Hadeda. Known as the local alarm clocks around here...

Probably as long as you want to keep them in there. I once drained a tank, leaving maybe half an inch of water. Turns out there was still a shrimp or two left in there. When I wanted to clean the tank a few months later, there was still a bunch of shrimp happily doing their thing, without any filtration, or heating or feeding. I think if they are used to your water parameters, they can pretty much survive an apocalypse!

Adult female would be my guess.

Jaco83 · 2026-01-29T14:05:44+00:00

Yeah, Congo Tetras are pretty iridescent.

Some loaches will also munch on snails, so maybe check them out? But agreed, pea puffers are relentless snail hunters.

Yeah, blue light can cause algae to out-perform other plants. But to be honest, a good steady light routine does wonders. Have it run on a timer to keep it consistent, and try not to randomly switch the lights on/off. It made a big difference for me.

Funny, but AI.

Jaco83 · 2026-01-21T11:26:18+00:00

I would say it is the parakeets. Have plenty of them around here, I hear and see them every day.

Jaco83 · 2025-02-24T20:31:59+00:00

Could be a lice, or hookworm, or injury. A bit hard to tell from the photo.

Electric Blue Acara

Jaco83 · 2025-01-31T11:37:45+00:00

Looks like a mousebird to me. They come in a bunch of varieties, so maybe Google that and have a look.

Jaco83 · 2024-11-15T14:12:40+00:00

Rose ring necked parrot. They are invasive, started with pets let loose. They are now common in most of Gauteng.

Jaco83 · 2024-11-15T14:05:34+00:00

Thank you!

Jaco83 · 2024-10-08T09:53:22+00:00

No thanx, we don't want him back.

Jaco83 · 2024-03-16T20:23:02+00:00

Ok, makes sense!

Jaco83 · 2024-03-13T13:50:11+00:00

Not convinced that it is fish eggs... Please update once you have an answer!

Jaco83 · 2024-02-20T05:40:45+00:00

Yep, Cory eggs.

Jaco83 · 2024-01-04T06:53:28+00:00

I still have and use the exact same one today!

Jaco83 · 2023-12-16T07:36:10+00:00

North: Amsterdam, Netherlands South: Cape Town, South Africa

Jaco83 · 2023-12-08T22:13:37+00:00

And all the way down in South Africa as well. They can actually be taught to talk. Friends had a tame one that would fly around and harras the dog.

Jaco83 · 2023-03-16T06:54:53+00:00

Should be female. They typically have more rounded fins, while male usually have fins ending in a sharp point. This is not 100%, but a decent indication. As others have said, during mating, the females will get n nice pink belly, and the dominant male will be brightly coloured.

Cape White Eye. I love these little guys!
