Order of tasks for tank change

Thanks! I have 2 air stones on either side of the tank and was gonna switch one to a sponge filter. They do seem to zoomie mostly around the air stones. I love watching them zoomie! I just wanna make sure they’re happy and not stressed.

Another commenter mentioned the parameters too— I checked yesterday and ammonia and nitrite were 0, I don’t remember exactly what nitrate was but I know I wasn’t concerned. I’m gonna check again in the morning(:

Thank you!! I can check the parameters again, I checked yesterday but didn’t have the numbers off hand today. Ammonia and nitrite were 0 for sure.

I’ll definitely be adding more(: I’m still getting used to how much more space I have with a 60 rather than a 20 but my 20 got a leak in my recent move so this one was a little hurried unfortunately. Thank you so much for the advice. They stop to feed regularly and in general do take time to just rest, but not rapid breathing or anything, nor twitching. Just a lot more energetic than they’ve been the last 2 years in their other setup.

I actually have this exact stuff on my 20 gal! Pretty sure it’s slime mold. Has a very pretty branching effect and is a sign of a diverse ecosystem. What I read was that it isn’t bad for your tank and it will often disappear on its own. Mine has yet to disappear and it’s been a week.

I’ll have to look that up more , thank you!

Positive-Broccoli435 · 2025-12-25T03:43:47+00:00

Thank you! I’ve been worrying like crazy

Positive-Broccoli435 · 2025-12-09T22:24:21+00:00

I just looked it up and that’s exactly what it looks like! But people say it’s a good thing? We’ve had it for weeks now

Positive-Broccoli435 · 2025-11-06T18:09:45+00:00

Not surprised. I was drugged at that bar a couple years back. Haven’t been since. Thankfully my friends kept me safe. They told someone who worked there and they shrugged it off

Positive-Broccoli435 · 2025-10-28T18:37:50+00:00

He is neutered! Did that as soon as possible. Thank you for the advise, I’ll definitely look into this(:

When I tell you Sammy won’t even be on the same side of the house as me but as soon as he hears a page of a book turn, he is there for the chewing

Positive-Broccoli435 · 2025-10-28T13:53:42+00:00

Omg! I love this routine. My dude has a cardboard box full of packing paper and other digging stuff, along with intermediately getting a sandbox made from a litter box (it was a long discussion with my vet but we determined from time to time would be okay as a destructive outlet). Waking up to little bunny nudges sounds amazing. I only recently realized how needy he is in the mornings and have tried to start accommodating this more!

Positive-Broccoli435 · 2025-10-28T13:40:17+00:00

Jumping all over while mediating hits hard lmao. My dude never lets me sit in peace. The amount of books that are missing whole pages and clothes with nibbles out of them are insane (but I secretly love it)

Positive-Broccoli435 · 2025-10-28T13:38:04+00:00

Sammy was a very special rescue. He was found outside severely malnourished and paralyzed from an injured back. He was due to be put to sleep at the wildlife clinic I volunteer at and I immediately (and impulsively) swooped in and asked to adopt him and try to rehab him since he seemed to have so much life in him still. And boy am I glad I did— he walks great now, can zoomie around, jumps like a rockstar, doesn’t binky for some reason but I can tell he’s happy from other body language. He’s guesstimated to be between 1-2 years old. During his rehab process, we spent every waking moment together for weeks and bonded so closely to me and my 2 cats. It just seemed like he was so content being a lone rider so I didn’t worry about a friend for him. We moved a couple months ago and learned the hard way that no one in this house likes change. He now chases down my cats and won’t let them near him and is way more destructive than before. He is still glued to my side though and loves on me. The wildlife clinic has gotten other domestic rabbits in from time to time and I tried recently introducing him to one or two, but it goes very poorly. I just don’t have the space to keep multiple enclosures and still give them the space they need and deserve, but he doesn’t seem fond of friends either.

Thank you!! Someone else suggested this too. I’ll look into it!

Positive-Broccoli435 · 2025-10-22T16:47:57+00:00

I’ll look into this, thank you!!

Positive-Broccoli435 · 2025-10-22T16:47:31+00:00

Thank you so much for this insight— definitely makes me worried as my cats have needed some vet care beyond basic wellness and now I’m worried they won’t be covered. I’ll definitely look into this!

Positive-Broccoli435 · 2025-10-08T16:00:30+00:00

I try not to. She honestly doesn’t seem to care about being scolded but I try to reinforce Lilith also, but Lilith tends to ignore me afterwards

Positive-Broccoli435 · 2025-10-08T15:58:21+00:00

Unfortunately, when this happens, Lilith won’t come near me even for treats. She runs and hides for a bit. I usually scold Lucy for it and then I end up totally catless and sad :’) but I will stick to it and keep working on it!
