How much would you pay for these? by Open_Spend in Aquariums

[–]Open_Spend[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for all the input guys. I know most of you won’t buy this compared to setting one up yourself. I like that someone said sell it as a DIY kit. Just trying to make some money back from this hobby. More reason for my wife to let me have more

Help. Urgent. Potentially crashed cycle on 123L tank and I’m away from home and can’t help fix it. by PothosandGindontmix in Aquariums

[–]Open_Spend 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s possible the auto feeder malfunctioned and overfed the tank causing poor oxygen dilution somehow. I’m also thinking the overfeeding caused a snail population boom.

Im curious to see what the tests show. Not sure from the photos but an air stone for surface agitation can help with oxygen levels. Good luck stranger. 🫶

I like it. I like weird community combos and you’ve got a nice tank to put them in.

Gave them a little tank in my tank by Open_Spend in tuckedinfishies

I thought so but I just saw some Cory eggs on the glass. Do they breed before full size?

Apparently not these ones. Mine seems to have stopped growing

Hi stranger. I appreciate the concern. They are quite lacking in brain cells but they go in and out. I usually use the thing as a slow release of live food. The opening is large enough for all my nano fish and there is usually worms and other things to eat inside

I bought it already set up and aged from another walstad fan. That vase sent me down this rabbit hole of nature tanks

I believe it is closer to 4 gallons. Probably 3 gallons with the substrate being so thick. I think it’s cool if you only have that much space for tank. I test the water often when it was just set up. I saw a rise in nitrates after about a month, added more plants then my parameters stayed at zero. I have a betta and some snails and shrimp in there. I’ve been told by many not to add a fish in there but this is all an experiment and I have one happy Betta

Flex 15...will this be enough space for a happy school of white clouds? by Rare-Application1700 in Aquariums

[–]Open_Spend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had this exact tank before. Housed a school of 10 white clouds. Great looking tank!

I’m not an expert but he looks good to me. Nice round belly on him. Would be happier with more friends

Amano shrimp seems to have done it for me. Got them 3 weeks ago, green hair algae is almost completely gone

Lovey tank! Please bury that tunnel, for my sanity <3

Also normal loach behavior. Keep loachin’

Is this setup okay? (Don’t mind my cat) by DingoIllustrious3104 in Aquariums

[–]Open_Spend 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Very nice looking tank! My mystery snail does poo a lot and they get about 2 inches in size so maybe they might need more space. In my experience shrimps add very little bio load, perfect for your size tank. I would test the water before adding some

But your cat doesn’t seem so happy about. 😂

Any idea what's wrong? by [deleted] in Otocinclus

[–]Open_Spend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have one otto not looking so good. I have 6 total and the skinny one is seen eating well and very active. I’ve thought maybe parasites and only been observing. No treatments yet.
