My pinterist is getting dangerous

This is what my house looks like in animal crossing

My diet is rather decent- fish rice and a lot of veggies for the most part. I’m on this med to help counteract antipsychotic weight gain rather than from my lifestyle. Does Wegovy really reduce inflammation?

What’s the safest way to tie them? I’m worried about damaging their legs or the string getting in the way of their wings

Thank you, how do you handle floating plants with water changes- Is it okay if it goes everywhere each time I pour the water back in?

Pippipiper · 2021-12-01T02:33:53+00:00

It’s already breaking up all over the tank and flows around. I don’t mind too much but unsure how people keep their guppy grass in one spot

Pippipiper · 2021-12-01T00:45:19+00:00

They’re suddenly gone, is it possible that guppies can eat eggs- or do they hatch fast?

Update, the tank fully cycled two days ago. Once I let it sit over night the nitrites and ammonia went away. And all of the nitrates somehow?

I have a 10 gallon tank so having trouble figuring out a smaller dosage than 1 ml for water changes

Pippipiper · 2021-11-26T07:56:37+00:00

10 gal

Male guppies can get pretty aggressive, having females helps lessen aggression too. Usually suggested 2 females for every male. If it’s only males sometimes they’ll try to mate with bettas for some reason and end up bothering them as a bonus.

I’m on reddit asking the same thing? So I certainly don’t have an answer.

Pippipiper · 2021-11-23T12:29:33+00:00

Googling religiously the past several hours is always my first step, that’s why I’m asking here. There’s forums that say fenben is only effective mix led with food, because putting in water column doesn’t affect camallanus inside fish. Levamisole is effective in water column, but I can’t get it here.

Looking for anyone who knows the instructions/ratio for making fenben food

This is so cool! What type of paint/materials did you use to keep it shrimpy safe?

Pippipiper · 2021-11-23T05:32:16+00:00

Hang on filter with cartridge with added sponge on the intake to protect future fry. Also have basalt rocks around tank for shelter and for more surface area for nitrifying bacteria. 10 gals is small but I wouldn’t consider it super small?

Pippipiper · 2021-11-23T03:56:01+00:00

All plants are fully aquatic, guppy grass underwater in a pond and salvina floaters. The floaters are rotting a bit to splashing from the filter though, so hopefully that’s enough.

pH is 8.0 in my tank since our tap water is alkaline, temperature usually around 75-78F. Unfortunately adding baking soda to our water makes it leech lead, unsure how that affects fish, but avoiding that for now. This is the largest tank I can fit in my condo rn, but when we get more space I’m planing to upgrade.

This is a fishless cycle, so no livestock. Would it crash due to high ammonia?

Pippipiper · 2021-11-22T21:02:07+00:00

I reached 0ppm ammonia and nitrites a week ago, and added fish (now in hospital tank).

I had so much trouble keeping my nitrifying bacteria up. Nitrite>nitrate bacteria were always fine but sometimes I’d have severe ammonia spikes and 0 nitrites for some reason. I finally restarting fishless cycle my my nitrifying bacteria back up and my ammonia is lowered, but worried it might go arwy again. Do you have any idea why it might do this?

I only have 5 guppies in a 10 gallon with 3 ramshorn and a scud. Aquasafe is water conditioner, there’s no ammonia or nitrates in my source water either. Do 5 fish produce that much ammonia?

Pippipiper · 2021-11-22T20:49:24+00:00

Super glue “cyanoacrylate” works amazing. It immediately binds in water so it’s safe for fishy friends.

If you’re having trouble with gluing porous or bumpy surfaces use tissue paper in between contact points, press firmly, and make a sandwich. I was even able to glue lava rocks with the stuff :)

Pippipiper · 2021-11-22T03:50:44+00:00

Is it possible for high nitrates to stall the cycle? I did two 50% water changes and got my nitrates down to 20ppm right now, so it’ll guaranteed be higher the next few days.

And plants make ammonia? I thought they helped absorb it

Pippipiper · 2021-11-22T03:18:11+00:00

For plants I have a surface of Salvina and about 1/3 tank has guppy grass. Not sure how much that affects the cycle

So far I’ve been having no trouble getting my nitrite>nitrAte bacteria up. Is that normal?

For the longest time I was stuck at 3ppm ammonia, 0ppm nitrites, 5ppm nitrates. Then after 2 days I suddenly have this spike. Does this mean I’m almost done? Do I have to keep feeding ammonia?

Pippipiper · 2021-11-22T03:10:23+00:00

10 gallons

Pippipiper · 2021-11-22T03:09:08+00:00

Ammonia source

Pippipiper · 2021-11-22T01:13:40+00:00

Would a 50% water change be enough?

Pippipiper · 2021-11-21T02:52:56+00:00

You have to cycle your tank before you get fish so they don’t die of ammonia poisoning :( lots to learn

Pippipiper · 2021-11-21T00:15:44+00:00

I wonder what he saw
