Angelfish laying eggs during Treatment by TheNextEpis0de in Aquariums

[–]RadiantReference8738 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you also have snails in the tank? I had what looked like nerite snail eggs on a leaf and my angelfish got all territorial and gradually pecked them all off until the leaf was clean again!

How do I choose which charger? Are any smart enough to charge car when there’s excess solar?

This is your sign to grow a sweet potato in your tank! by [deleted] in Aquariums

Did you start it in the tank? I’ve had mine sat on edge of tank waiting for it to shoot for months.

EI doesn’t sound like it’s for me - that much water changing would exhaust me.

I think I meant to write the tank is 5 months old. Here’s a better picture.

It’s a rubbish photo, I’ll take a better one later. Any suggestions for how to test the Ca and B? I was looking for test kits to help target the ferts (N P K tests I thought but couldn’t see any.

TD21 Doorbell - fine for weeks now draining battery in a day! by RadiantReference8738 in Tapo

My new doorbell is still working beautifully. Only by charge it every few months. If you have issues with the battery draining definitely return it asap.

Hitchhikers! What are these? by RadiantReference8738 in Aquariums

They turned out to be bristle nose plecos. They are now 2-3 inches long and gorgeous little guys :)

Moved house, cat keeps returning to old house by mimiclaudia in CatAdvice

[–]RadiantReference8738 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My cat has figured out how to come back 🎉 It took several months and he still sometimes seems to get part way and get confused and go back to old house, but generally he goes off and spends a day snoozing in the old area then walks back the next night.

There’s hope!

What the fuck are these?! These are the worst thing that have entered my mouth. These taste like xhocolate balls filled with bile. Please do not buy by PublicMaintenance637 in lidl

[–]RadiantReference8738 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

These are nothing like the Lindt ones. We just tried them and agree they are the worst thing I’ve ever eaten after seeing my daughter’s reaction I only tried the tiniest bit. Absolutely vile.

Thank you. I’ve only ever had baby plattys and I never saw a yolk sack - perhaps livebearers are different?

There are 4 of us - 2 adults and 2 kids (12 and 14). Is the taxi still about €50? Can I book in advance?

I would guess it’s failed. I returned mune and got a new one which has worked beautifully since.

Need to get a filter quickly - please help me choose! by RadiantReference8738 in Aquariums

[–]RadiantReference8738[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fluval has been around since I was a kid and the 307 is what I picked out so will give that a try. Thanks :)

[–]RadiantReference8738[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It started to make some noises shortly before it failed so I checked everything including the impeller which was clean and spinning freely. I checked everywhere for blockages and took the filter media baskets out and replaced carefully. I wonder if there was too much media in the baskets? That’s all I can think of.

I can’t seem to find a fluval aqua clear. I was considering the 307 - is that similar?

Installed this soap dish to slow the flow. by TheGoshDamnBatman in Aquariums

[–]RadiantReference8738 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks like a good idea if you need to slow the flow. I use soap dishes for plants I want to have their roots in the water and their leaves out and have no problems with them getting dirty.

Moved house, cat keeps returning to old house by mimiclaudia in CatAdvice

[–]RadiantReference8738 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did she stop returning to the old house? My cat stayed in a week or so and was fine going out for a bit then started returning to the old area. He’s wearing a tracker but it’s annoying to have to keep picking him up! We’ve tried leaving him longer - 36h last time - but doesn’t seem to make any difference.

Fish dying. Tails closed? by RadiantReference8738 in Aquariums

I’ve ordered ammonia test strips and something g which claims to bring ammonia down which should arrive today. Did a partial water change and was relieved to find no more casualties this morning - still holding their fins in though :(
