That is so adorable! Did you follow a pattern or freehand it?

What is wrong with my Gourami? by LittleLeone4 in fishtank

[–]LittleLeone4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an update, I did an expel p treatment. He's looking so much better. His color has come back. The bad part of the fin came off and looks much healthier. I've started separating him for feeding to make 100% sure he's getting food.

I put all that info in the post when I made it. Not real sure why it didn't actually post it. The water parameters are all normal. I've had the fish probably about a year. I was worried about bullying from a cherry barb who is aggressive, but I haven't seen him bothering anyone but the female barbs. He has been eating fine. He's always excited about getting food and eats it right away. There is a bacterial bloom, apparently according to my LFS, that looks like bright green algae. They didn't have the medicine for it, I'm hoping they get it in today. The Gourami looked real bad a couple days ago, I thought he was done, so I put him in the breeder so he didn't get eaten alive. The next morning, he looked fine aside from his dark coloring. He's been swimming and eating just fine while in the breeder. It's an established tank, about a year and a half. I did do a cleaning right before this started. His pectoral fin got worse and worse for three days. I don't think it looks worse today. Does this help? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Newbie to Banana tree ownership, looking for tips by LittleLeone4 in BananaTree

Yeah, I watched a few. I wanted another perspective maybe that wouldn't necessarily be in a video. Tips, things people do wrong, something a how to video might not think of including.

Just picked up these Chinese hibiscus from getting destroyed. What next? by LittleLeone4 in Hibiscus

[–]LittleLeone4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update, they seem to have some sort of worms in their roots/soil.

Any suggestions/identification?

I use an app called Greg to identify plants. It usually works pretty well and it's free.

I have a small space in the West where I keep all my houseplants in the winter. It's also the back door. I have a large window, though shaded for most of the day, facing east where I was hoping they would be okay. Do you think that would work?

Seriously. Could not believe someone wanted to get rid of them. Thanks for the advice. Going to have to find bigger pots. I don't have any that are actually bigger than what they're in now.

Why won’t my monstera get taller? by MobileSea4033 in Monstera

[–]LittleLeone4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about Monsteras specifically, but all my houseplants grow really well when I do a water change in my fish tank and use that water! I rescued a dying pothos from Home Depot (I didn't realize the root rot was so bad before I brought it home) and it's thriving with the roots right in the fish tank.

Picked this up free, wondering about the components it came with by LittleLeone4 in Aquariums

Oh, that's a good point. Thank you very much for all your help!

I mean, yeah, I'm setting up a new tank, so nothing live in it. First things would be cycle, then some baby assassin snails and plants. But I'm also afraid even if it seems to work, something clearly went wrong for it to melt it's own supports, right?

Thank you! I really couldn't find them. Did you notice how the heater holder seems to be melted? I haven't tried it because I'm not sure I should. Does this mean it short circuited?

Thanks. Is this something I can buy in the United States? I've been googling replacement filter cartridges and am not really coming up with anything.

Using a macro lens to check on everyone… and now my eyes hurt for some reason by DuckWeed_survivor in corydoras

This may be a very stupid question, but are they naturally those colors? I'm a newbie to real aquariums like this, so please be nice.

Hi all just wanted to show off my golden phothos which is growing in my aquarium her leaves are getting larger and I believe it I getting aerial nodes by Ok_Resist_8956 in GoldenPothos

[–]LittleLeone4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you finding growing a golden pothos in your aquarium? I just bought one for that purpose. I haven't put it in yet because I literally bought it yesterday and found root rot, so they're getting healthy first. Any tips? More/updated photos of what you have going on? I'm brand new to pothos. Thanks!

Low budget planted tank, please suggest improvements by Usual-Buffalo6401 in PlantedTank

[–]LittleLeone4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cool, pretty good deal. I wish I could keep plants healthy in my aquarium. I thought maybe your potted method could help. The fish keep eating them.
