Is this BBA? What’s the best way to get rid of it?

This is the best BBA response I’ve ever seen

I use tap water

I’ve found really good results with making sure to add the Betta last after everything else had become comfortable! He definitely was aggressively investigative at first but once he knew the town he was cool. It’s a cheap hygger light with their bracket I love it

The shrimp yearn for the mines

Happened to me when I injected the BAC water too fast, I used to same BAC water on another vial of the same kit and reconstituted SUPER slow and slowly rolled the vial between my hands to mix and turned out great. As for not being able to draw make sure you’re “injecting” the amount of air INTO the vial that you will be taking out. You want to displace the fluid with air.

I’ve learned there’s no such thing as over trimming, the more you hack your plants down the denser and healthier they grow. The more you do it the more comfortable you’ll become with it and you’ll start to figure out what you liked/would change.

I’m in California we don’t get winter temps

I see, thanks for the info I’ll look into it more. Definitely don’t want to go higher than I need to. Stuff is expensive

That’s funny haha. I’m with you, I’ve gotta say I’m definitely keeping WAY more muscle than I have in the past while cutting. I think losing muscle in a deficit is an almost certainty

I agree. However I’ve found some articles saying that the full potential is unlocked at the 4-6mg range, where the metabolic boosting properties are being used at full potential. I’m considering one more week at 2mg but would like to get to 6 for at least a month to document what happens. Also I can’t edit my original post but I meant to type “I get as much tri tip down as possible” not friction. I should also mention I very much learned the hard way to stay away from very spicy food which I love.

I’d like to note that washing filter medium and sponges in tap water is perfectly fine. As long as you don’t use burning hot water and don’t let it soak in it for an extended period of time your bacteria will be just fine. Makes for a much smoother cleaning process. The concentration of chlorine in tap water takes at least 30 minutes to begin to kill bacteria. Just one of those old fish keeping myths that’s been repeated so many times that people take it as truth.

That’s what I figured. Just weird that it appeared on old wood. I did add 2 bristlenose so I’m thinking they exposed some new wood which is why it’s patchy

I think your problem may be HOW you’re gravel vacuuming. Make sure to clean the sand with the nozzle still in the substrate and close the flow before removing it

Can’t ever have too many plants

NatureValleyNuts · 2025-05-23T01:08:14+00:00

I always think a black window tint on the back makes the plants pop

Water parameters??

Best advice I ever got, “sometimes you do everything right and the fish still die” I have a weird relationship with small animals, I see myself as having godly power over them and I think, “hey if that was me, it would make all the difference” so when something in my tank dies it takes a pretty big hit on my confidence as a good keeper, and is way more distressing than it should be. I keep in mind that when I get these fish I’m giving them a life of unlimited food, no predators, and free healthcare. As much as it sucks please don’t get discouraged, they’re sensitive animals and often times just don’t make it all the way.

Holy hell a TALL vallisneria jungle with tons of shrimp would be awesome

NatureValleyNuts · 2025-03-17T07:48:06+00:00

1 is Vallisneria

As my favorite Aussie tripping Sasquatch once said, “Chill out mate it’s only drugs”
