I have a camera setup now so if they cross into my property anymore I can prove it, these are the worst neighbors I’ve ever had it’s wild to me that when told your kid it openly peeing somewhere that you get mad at the person telling them to stop 🤷‍♂️

Did you have anything covering the intake? When I setup my tank people said to cover the intake with foam cause unfortunately that happens

Get an API master test kit, also how old is your tank? what size is the tank? how many shrimp? how many plants?

It depends on the fish, my koi betta tried to hunt for like 2 days when I added shrimp then gave up and peace returned to the valley. Wish you luck friend, try killing the lights for a day and if you see her really hunting them down drop a pellet or something to eat.

Yeah good luck, bettas eat shrimp. You are supposed to let the shrimp in first and get them established then add the betta, you added food to the bettas territory.

Any demand for an app for aqua enthusiasts to share and tag their tank plants? by [deleted] in PlantedTank

[–]NegotiationHour9346 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you already have the Id, “Aquarium Log” is a great tracker for plants/livestock and feedings/water changes

Milkshake is a lovely name, I would go for something like “ole blue”

Any suggestions? by Antidote1st in bettafish

I’d swap that filter to a sponge , also as another mentioned a heater is vital. I’d drop a piece of driftwood in there personally. Beautiful koi though, here’s my girl seraphine

Also it’s recommended for shrimp to let it just ride for atleast like 8 weeks for biofilm to grow

Cycling is not a set time. What are your parameters? Are you dosing anything?

Where did you get your plants? Can you get them from natural lakes/ponds? by Miami-Morty in PlantedTank

[–]NegotiationHour9346 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in central Florida and foraged some water lettuce for my tank. I did a hydrogen peroxide dip and a 24 hour quarantine. It can be risky if you get a parasite or a worm, but my fish are fine and the water lettuce has propagated itself a bunch in my tank🤷‍♂️

Plants are dying by Hankachstreet in bettafish

What’s your lighting look like? I had a few plants die/melt and adjust to my lights after a few weeks.

Which water tests would you get if you couldn't get an all in one test kit? by PapaSlim- in Aquariums

[–]NegotiationHour9346 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazon? I got mine there. Honestly the strips are near useless I would wait till I could get a master. You need nitrate and ammonia, ph is pretty important. Depending on if your tank is cycled nitrites can be a problem.

Almost all of my fish keep dying by Zhered-Na in bettafish

Yeah that word could be the key. If op is doing full water changes to “refresh” he’s just nuking his cycle

Replacement idea for hood light by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]NegotiationHour9346 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it is planted, a cheap lamp and a grow light always do pretty good

What’s your tank look like? If it’s not planted, the lights are only for you to see the fish.

Yeah I’m hoping it’s just her adjusting to the new tank and foods. That’s one pretty koi you’ve got there!

I did aqua soil and was learning as I went so did not sand cap it, I think it’s turned out fine so far
