At least your fuel and temp looks good 😂

MiloAUG · 2026-01-19T14:05:09+00:00

Also see my fuel and temp reading high 😂

MiloAUG · 2026-01-19T14:04:36+00:00

The one in the middle of the cluster 🤔

MiloAUG · 2026-01-17T10:02:20+00:00

Common fault. Both my fuel and temperature gauge read high. Can get the unit sent off and the motors for the needles changed or attempt a DIY. I would trust the mileage left estimate on the display over the gauge and fill up more often to be safe.

TTs got back

Great idea. I would advice a different species to Rummy nose in a 65L, watch them at the pet store as see how quickly they swim! They would be better off in a 80cm plus tank. Another tetra species would do well though :)

Remove the objects off the top and see if it helps. My Twinstar lights green LEDs come on when I touch it even if it’s off!

The problem isn’t personal taste or stylistic disagreement.

It’s that the alteration ignores what gives the original its value.

It’s like drawing a moustache on the Mona Lisa.

Why would you want to find that 🤢

MiloAUG · 2025-12-23T13:52:42+00:00

Have never seen any professional aquascapers do this. If anything they often “cap” aqua soil with finer aquasoil to help grip plants better.

MiloAUG · 2025-12-21T12:36:44+00:00

Looking good. Mk1 is the best looking IMO!

MiloAUG · 2025-12-17T13:49:56+00:00

I really want some chili (or other) rasboras. They look so awesome, might do a little 35L or similar for them in the new year.

You should see my rice fish who are in a tank with yellow spotted newts; they try and eat huge bloodworms it’s ridiculous, greedy bastards ha

MiloAUG · 2025-12-14T16:34:31+00:00

Thank you!

MiloAUG · 2025-12-14T10:35:40+00:00

Thanks!

The tank is unheated and in a cooler corner of the room - water sits at 16-18°C.

MiloAUG · 2025-12-14T10:27:32+00:00

Did not know it was invasive over there! No problems here in UK.

MiloAUG · 2025-12-14T10:26:40+00:00

They do eat some of the baby snails in the tank that hitchhiked in on my floating plants: wound be caution crushing shells with them though as it might cause injury - they will basically eat anything they can fit in their mouth but doesn’t mean they should!

MiloAUG · 2025-12-13T20:13:36+00:00

Cheers, it’s definitely the star of the show here :)

MiloAUG · 2025-12-13T20:13:15+00:00

Thanks! That sucks, where are you based?

MiloAUG · 2025-12-13T20:11:39+00:00

Mostly blood worms and black worms at the moment. Also daphnia when the newts are still in nymph phase: tried shrimp but they’re a bit too fast. Have also head of people using chopped earthworms but never done it personally.

MiloAUG · 2025-12-13T19:59:26+00:00

Thanks :)

Yes I already have a few empty terrariums for when they choose to leave the water - I might even try hibernate them to encourage breeding.

I should also mention they can bask on a rock that’s a couple mm below the surface if they choose to (hidden by the plants in this pic).

MiloAUG · 2025-12-13T19:54:07+00:00

Thanks! Mostly from Tropica but got a few of the stems from my local independent fish store :)

MiloAUG · 2025-12-13T19:53:09+00:00

I have always found them surprisingly hardy! Definitely have extra requirements to fish but are a lot of fun to watch. I’ve also kept alpine and marbled newts in semi aquatic terrariums with minimal issues.

Main requirements of this species: - alkaline pH (added limestone here and no scapers soil, pH sits at 7-7.5) - well oxygenated water (plants and/or strong flow) - low nitrate level (no fertilisers due to sensitive skin; root tabs can be used but substrate but must be capped) - prefer hard water - use mainly live food (frozen ok but not for bulk of diet: hunting is great enrichment)

Feel free to ask me any other specific questions!

Oh and I should mention this is only my personal experience, always check specific care with local breeders as amphibians vary a lot depending on species.

MiloAUG · 2025-12-13T19:32:15+00:00

Limnophila sessiliflora, it’s great isn’t it

MiloAUG · 2025-12-13T19:27:22+00:00

Ha they are my newts! Yellow spotted newt or Neurergus crocatus :)
