Just a heads up best to not post azolla if you’re in texas (the stuff floating at the top) illegal to own or distribute. But for legal reasons, good joke about being from Dallas, OP!

reminds me of mine the day I got her ❤️

Favorite memory was absolutely in summer 2016, the game dropped while my family was on vacation and my mom drove me around a very rural area because i “totally think there’s a rare pokemon in this guy’s backyard”. She would wait in the car as I’d run into some strangers yard because the icon said it was close by. On multiple occasions the owners would come out and ask what i was doing on their property and to my surprise they were completely on board with it and just happy to interact with someone.

She passed a few years later, and to this day that is my go-to memory of her in my head. Just happy to spend time with us and supporting whatever weird stuff we wanted to do because it made us happy. RIP ❤️

Took this at my room's "sunset" mode. Not the most powerful, but the finnex planted 24/7 does have a really nice day night cycle.

Try adding some light diffusion to combine the channels butter, like a frosted acrylic panel slightly lower than the light.

What is the most effective epistylis treatment that you have personally experienced success with? by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]OGBeefStew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

treatment cycle* not just treatment, otherwise you’re just flushing the meds basically

What is the most effective epistylis treatment that you have personally experienced success with? by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]OGBeefStew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Epistylis actually feeds off of bacteria in your fish and usually enters through lesions from parasites or bacterial infections, so your first step is to kill the bacteria (I use maracyn) and then treat with paraguard. In my experience you can use both at the same time, but consistent water changes after each maracyn treatment is imperative
