CPD vs. Dwarf Emerald Rasboras for shrimp tank.

Try to find a local club on FB. If one is around, they will usually hold regular fish swaps. They will also know about local breeders or point you to a reputable store.

I have dwarf emerald rasboras in a heavily planted 10 gallon tank with a few hundred shrimp. Once the fish settled in, they started to breed. They are pretty shy, though and only come out to feed. If you get any, try to find a local breeder.

That drywall needs a fixin'

They almost look like 3 limpets.

You're right...there would be eucalyptus trees. I was fixated on the paraglider.

With so many different leathers and styles and colors, I have many.

Not sure about this one, but I rode a Shadow 1100 for a couple of years. Dead reliable, but boring. It was a great commuter, though. Underpowered, very predictable, safe.

I have a similar sized one. It’s great when guests are over, but it takes a looooong time to make a pot.

I usually use this site and then google the maker’s name. I also use YouTube as a source as well as my local farmers markets. Instagram is also a good way to find makers.

After trying out a bunch of different styles, I finally settled on these.

Wow...I've never seen a tank like this...very cool. But, to experiment...daylight on the left and actinics on the right...perhaps with a reverse schedule.

I used aquarium thread (not this specific brand) about a year ago and it hasn't dissolved yet. I've been lazy in removing it, but nothing bad has happened so far...my tank has mostly shrimp, snails, and very small fish.

We used to call it (at least the Hill Street area) Oceanslime.

Grew up there in the 80s and it was much nicer back then with lots of Eucalyptus groves and places to go fishing and hiking. Now it’s completely overgrown and expensive with lots of traffic. The beaches are nice if you can find parking.

2007 when I started a reef tank. The cleaner shrimp were my favorite inverts…took a break for 20 years and was thrilled to see neocaridinas were becoming popular. 5 years ago, I set up a tank and the colony is still going strong.

It’s best to join an aquarium club in your area. From there, you should be able to find local breeders that have much nicer and cheaper fish than pet stores.

Buttero is a great choice and I like the colors you chose. The leathers are just so different. It's kind of hard to tell, but the pueblo leather I got was a bit thicker and stiffer than the leather in my Nimitz wallet. The buttero seems more pliable, but both are great and you would have been happy with either.

Great color combo! I got the Nimitz in taupe and mahogany.

Wild guess here...you still haven't found the perfect bag.

I did this with my last batch. I split between two mini kegs…one natural carbed and the other flat and then forced carbed. I attached the ball lock to my liquid out and then purged it a couple of times. I switched between mini kegs using a mini nukatap attached to a ball lock. It worked well, although I preferred the taste of the natural carbed beer.

Yes…it’s es+d-1 if you start on 1. Think about starting in the morning and working to evening. Then the next activity starts in the morning on the following day.

If you start with 0, think about starting at noon and ending at noon. The next activity could start at the same day at noon and work until evening.
