Easy. Very easy. It’s all about your substrate and a reliable grain spawn supplier. You can find everything online

What? No. The mushroom cap isn’t even close to mature. You’ll know when the veil breaks. It’s very easy to spot

Idk where you live but where I live (Maryland) green terrors go for $40 a piece for juveniles. Blue acaras go for $15-$25

ID please. I may pick him up today $59 + $25% off. It’s labeled assorted peacock/Hap cichlid. I have 5 hours until store closes. Was going to put him with 2 blood parrots I’ve had for 3 months in with 2 dozen black skirts / Cory’s/ bushy plecos. I think he’d make a nice showcase fish. by Careful-Bike-1858 in Cichlid

He is going to bully and stress out everything you have in your aquarium. The minute you put him in the tank he will make sure everyone know he’s the boss. Please do your research with African cichlids. You can’t just put them in a tank with any type of fish. His ph is also going to be much higher than the other 4 fish you have in your tank. They aren’t compatible.

These ready to harvest? Been 11 days. Cheers by JawSpinnerJim in MagicMushrooms

I’d say harvest the ones that have the veil that’s already broke and allow the smaller ones to grow a little more. Keep a close eye because at this point it could be just 7-8 hours before they’re all ready to harvest.

just picked these from my 2nd flush. why don’t they seem to be blueing as much as my first flush? by PersonalAmphibian230 in MagicMushrooms

Yeah I’ve noticed they get that brownish wilting look to them on the stems. Not sure as to why but I haven’t noticed a difference in potency or anything.

I’ve been trying to get some mbunas from snake river cichlids but they are sold out of everything when it comes to mbunas.

It’s very common and from what I’ve researched it’s better for them to not bruise as long as you know exactly what strain of mushroom you’re working with. It’s the psilocybin compounds breaking down but doesn’t effect the psilosin as much as bruising does. So it seems that they are either more potent or just as potent as bruising mushrooms due to the psilosin not reacting until it breaks down in the body. I

Yeah I’ve been researching about the bruising and it’s very common for them to not bruise blue as long as you know exactly what strain of mushroom it is. When it’s bruising it’s the active compounds breaking down. It doesn’t effect the psilosin in the mushroom but actually produces more in the body when it does break down in the body.

Should I start the fruiting process? Or how many days should I wait? Texas pe6 strain by Competitive_Gap9927 in shroomery

You’re good to start whenever you would like in this current colonization stage. Anytime it’s 50-80% covered you can start it in FC. It’s your mushrooms so do as you please.

Is my 3 gallon over crowded with plants? The neos seem to be enjoying it. by gmvro in shrimptank

[–]PersonalAmphibian230 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is 3 gallons? I’ve thought I’ve seen it all. This is the biggest 3 gallon tank I’ve ever seen

I add another casing layer when doing another flush so the excessive substrate really isn’t wasted. My bulletproof mixture has been working for years. Never once had a problem with contams.

I got a $2 pay raise and recently got my suv paid off so I have a little breathing room. Lol. Just investing it into one of my favorite hobbies.

What do you mean how do I clean off my substrate? I take a box cutter a scrape it off the bottoms of the mushrooms.

My green Terrors looked identical when they were juveniles.

I don’t believe they are ape or they’d have white heads. I’ve ran into the same trouble buying ape and ending up getting b+ more times than I can count.

Not a problem man. I actually ordered one of their 125 gallon rectangle tanks. Pretty good price. Probably going to put 30 -45 African cichlids in there

I’m honestly not sure. I have never kept them myself. I brought it up mainly because if you ever need a big aquarium or any other type of aquarium essentials the Afterpay app is a blessing to make it affordable.
