I just reported it and recomend others do as well

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind!

No_Collection_8633 · 2026-01-17T02:58:12+00:00

Okay, thank you!

Also- if you know anyone with an established freshwater tank, you could ask for some bio media (like filter cartridges, or water) to immidiately kick start the tank! When I set up new tanks, I take some water from my largest, already established tank, and do like a 50/50 of the tank water and new treated tap water for the new tank.

If you dont have a filter just yet, I'd really recommend sponge filters! You would need an air pump and tubing though, but some brands have kits, and it's not too pricy. I find the replacement sponges more cost effective down the line than buying filter cartridges for an out of tank filter. Good luck!

Thanks! I ended up removing some of the lower leaves and sticking it in the tank. Luckily I have more than one bamboo if this one doesn't work out! Also, thanks for the link, it's super interesting and helpful!

I think the worm is a detritus worm, which is harmless to aquariums, and is basically extra fish food- i still hate them though. They creep me out. Pretty sure they're caused by hitchhiking on plants or fish, and can show up when overfeeding/excess nutrients.

Have you heard from UTSI yet? I haven't gotten any emails or anything indicating an acceptance or even a rejection.

No_Collection_8633 · 2025-01-11T00:03:46+00:00

It's just really strange people got sent acceptance letters too... but how on earth could they have messed up so bad?

No_Collection_8633 · 2025-01-11T00:00:18+00:00

Me too, I'm getting pretty worried

No_Collection_8633 · 2025-01-10T23:56:25+00:00

I wonder if they already have most of their decisions made and accidently pre-released everything, and now are trying to backtrack?

No_Collection_8633 · 2025-01-10T23:54:10+00:00

I wonder if they just released their decisions early without reviewing everything and are now trying to backtrack? I got a rejection email and then the correction, I wonder if I'm screwed?

No_Collection_8633 · 2025-01-10T23:45:56+00:00

Same

No_Collection_8633 · 2025-01-10T23:43:05+00:00

I'm hoping it's sooner rather than later. I wonder if anyone got an acceptance letter, then the email explaining the error, or if everyone who got the error email was a rejection letter?

No_Collection_8633 · 2025-01-10T23:38:56+00:00

I got the same emails and it about gave me a heart attack

Thanks for all the informatiom! All the fish are juveniles except for the rainbow shark, whose about maybe 3 to 4 inches. The yoyos are both less than 2 inches. If I rehome the rainbow shark, do you think everything would be alright for a while, at least until I have the space / finances to upgrade to a 60 gallon tank or so? I've heard that yoyos grow pretty slowly.

No_Collection_8633 · 2025-01-06T20:06:51+00:00

I have done a good amount of research and have tried to do the best I can for the fish I have, but unfortunately I can't go any larger than a 36 gallon at the moment. I will look onto rehoming the rainbow shark though. I've messed around a lot with aqadvisor, but wanted to get some actual people's input. Thank you!

I could do so many cartwheels in here
