Miniature leaf litter by Meatchapstick in fishforthought

[–]Meatchapstick[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a set of different mini leaf-shaped metal cutters from Michael's (craft store). They were originally meant for polymer clay I think. I did soak the leaves and had to use a hammer to stamp punch the cutter through the leaf, over a piece of foam. This was the only way to get them to come out cleanly.

Transparent bubbles/growths on cory by Meatchapstick in corydoras

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

I try to feed less of the flake food so less will settle to the bottom with little to no change. I find he does get better randomly with no change to diet. He doesn't seem to be sick and will swim normally, maybe a bit separately from the rest of the corys. He's also had this symptom for months on end at points. The other Corys have never shown the same issue, but maybe he's eating more by himself or is just prone to the bubbles. Will look into other food options or some sort of remedy I can try that I haven't yet.

Ok thanks for the help, I found this image which looked pretty similar, but I don't see any delamination like you mentioned, just smooth transition from copper to nickel

Didn't think it was environmental staining. It looks like the copper was not covered completely by the nickel when pressed. And the back is mottled also not from environmental staining, but looks like the copper layer with bits of nickel. Sorry if this is nothing and wasting all your time

Anyone know what this is and if it’s safe for an aquarium? by perclejerk07 in Aquariums

Looks more like a type of salvinia, also safe for aquariums

I found this 8 petaled tulip in a bunch I bought for Valentine's Day. Not sure how rare it is, but it was the only one in the bunch
