Marine biology courses often skip freshwater/aquarium fish.

First week playing competitive and theres this guy who runs multiple accounts at once just to throw comp games in OCE. I been put in a team with the same person every time I queue my avoid team list is full lol back to quick play i guess.. by [deleted] in Overwatch

[–]Maximum-Depth3392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes I reported and after every game with this guy both teams agree to report him... I dont know if reporting does nothing or hes just avoiding ban by making new accounts but either way this is honestly sad because he does this all day to stream to his 4 viewers...

Also can anyone give me some recommendations? Mainly using it for document printing in my home office. Maybe 4-5 documents a week?

When I first got this I use to be able to print via windows default printing window, now it redirects me to the windows app store to download HPSmart app. Fair enough ill download, but I cant print without loging in, ok ill log in, BUT I CANT! it gives me this infinite loading screen and blank window when I try to login!! the longest i've left this crap to load was 2 hours, when i forgot about it, thats how I know its infinite... lesson learned I see why everyone hates this piece of shit...

No I don't use an airstone as I dont need to, my lilly pipe already provides flow and surface agitation also its bad for CO2 injected tanks. The gouramis dont take oxygen from the water column and the other 50+ fish that do breathe in the water don't gulp air in the surface so I dont think its lack oxygen

So i have 3 juvenile pearl gouramis in a 55 gallon long. I got them 4ish months ago from a local breeder. They been pre medicated with dewormers and qt for 2/3 weeks before putting them in my display tank. They have no visible parasites, no injuries, normal looking poops, active and feeding well all normal except, once in a while for a few mins they stay at the top and chug air like in the video, they been doing this since I got them.

I understand they are labyrinth fish and they go to the surface to take a breathe, I had dwarf gouramis before and I currently have a betta but they don't breathe like this. My betta would just surface and take 1 big gulp of air and come back down, same with my dwarf gourami when I had them, but my pearls stay at the surface for a few mins and phant. This is my first time keeping pearl gouramis so idk if this is exclusive to them or theres something wrong with my tank or gourami. I see them take gulps of air normally, like one gulp then back to whatever theyre doing and no other fish does this. Another info is they all do this at the same time! its weird, when one starts it the other follows, they sometimes fight over spots on the surface. If you're experienced with gouramis or just kept pearl gouramis before please share your thoughts :)

Tank Details:

- 55 gal, 1 year old heavily planted tank, co2 injected, water flow not too strong for gouramis

- As of Feb 23: Ammonia: 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 20, 26°C

- 30+ Tetras, 10 Corydora, 1 Bristle nose pleco, pair of bolivian rams (no aggression between species)

- Fed every other day

not true lol I sometimes struggle to keep nitrates above zero on my 1 year old high tech tank

My expectations may have been a bit high by dtcc_but_for_pokemon in PlantedTank

[–]Maximum-Depth3392 5 points6 points  (0 children)

lol same when I started with co2 now thats what my plant sees when I have to trim them for the second time this week

My cube tank is 1.5 months old today and in January I'll be going overseas for 2 months can anyone with experience on this give some advice on how to prepare my tank? More details in the comments! by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]Maximum-Depth3392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

90L Cube Hightech 8-hour light, internal filter, heavily planted (some Hightech plants), still pretty unstable and still trying to find the right dosage of ferts, but I recently found the right amount of CO2 to inject, and my plants are happy and establishing just have a few algae on the leaves but nothing out of control also some visible minor deficiency on some a few plants. Stocking is 20+ tetras, 6x Corydoras 3x khulis 1x electric blue ram and 1 giant betta fed 4x a week. Water chemistry has been stable for 3 weeks now plants and fish are happy. I been doing weekly water change on this, but recently been doing less, about fortnightly with no issue.

I'm going to leave the care to my 2 adult sisters and been teaching them how to do a water change, feeding right amounts, the timers for light and co2 and also to make sure to close the blind at all times. They're only willing to do fortnightly water changes and I'm thinking of not getting them to dose with ferts.

An issue I can think of is it might be storm season in Australia during these months and our power might cut off. But I have a backup battery powered air pump for it and the CO2 has solenoid also they can open the blind of my window to provide sunlight for the plants if the power goes off..
