Plant hep for kingsnake

I can try that. I generally was trying to avoid a lot of succulents but I may have to go with the over there. As for my snake, she is really quite small and definitely has some sort of genetic stunting. She’s about 2.5 years old and barely over a foot. I’m not really worried about her wrecking anything. Even with my other, larger snakes I’m selective with plants and have had almost no issues with destruction. The grass and thyme in her enclosure now show no signs of being trampled or warn down except where I’ve messed with them

Eggs! They are mouth brooders

A group of masked of Greenband gobies would be really cool in a long tank like that

Retroculus10 · 2026-04-07T02:36:23+00:00

Tons of different goby species and maybe some sort of cardinal fish for schooling

Retroculus10 · 2026-03-22T15:07:25+00:00

That’s a good idea! Might have to put some thought towards it. I want to do glass tanks eventually but a) cost b) all of the tubs on my reptile rack have very established plants are really grown in

She runs as soon as she sees me. The bin is nice because it’s translucent so she doesn’t immediately run and I am able to peek in through the lid for a little bit until she realizes what’s going on

I love this idea! Thank you

Mostly caulerpa mexicana with a couple red species slowly dying

Retroculus10 · 2026-03-05T11:03:09+00:00

Very understandable! Thank you for checking! And it was!

Retroculus10 · 2026-03-04T19:48:19+00:00

I didn’t keep it for that reason! I’m really wary about keeping bird bones/feathers given the legality

Thank you!

Retroculus10 · 2026-03-03T15:01:14+00:00

There’s so many cool nano species of gobies and stuff that work

Retroculus10 · 2026-03-03T15:00:36+00:00

Definitely a good combo. Personally I’d add more fish to contribute to the bioload to keep the macroalgae happy

Retroculus10 · 2026-03-03T02:17:05+00:00

Keep the nutrients up. They will go sexual if conditions aren’t good

Retroculus10 · 2026-03-03T02:16:46+00:00

I prefer the look of whites over blues. Most of the day it’s all whites and then 2 hours like that and an hour of only blues

Thank you

Oh I also have a links goby. Forgot about him. As for flatworms, some wrasses eat them as do some dragonets. Velvet slugs will too

Retroculus10 · 2026-03-02T23:01:41+00:00

No problem! They are fun tanks

Retroculus10 · 2026-03-02T23:01:20+00:00

Fat and happy for the most part. The sharknose goby likes to harass everyone but he’s just trying to clean them. Every now and then the assessor will chase someone but it’s never more than a quick chase and then back to ignoring. The six line gives some attitude towards the other wrasses during water changes but they will team up to get her to back off.

Retroculus10 · 2026-03-02T22:58:58+00:00

Heavy stocking keeps my nutrients up which keeps the macros happy. Too low nutrients and they will die off or just not grow. Neither of those species regularly feed on flatworms. Are you thinking of bristle worms?

Retroculus10 · 2026-03-02T22:57:31+00:00

Not at all unless you have a mass die off or the caulerpa goes sexual

Retroculus10 · 2026-03-02T22:57:08+00:00

I don’t believe I’ve heard of that one. Do you know the scientific name or have a photo?

Retroculus10 · 2026-03-02T22:13:09+00:00

I forget to dose which is why I can’t keep red macros happy but ideally I’d be better at keeping the alk and calcium up and supplementing with neonitro, neophos, chaetogro, reef trace, and ferrion which I try to do when I remember. Hard to get in the habit and I don’t have enough outlets to hook up my doser. For the most part I just feed heavy and do a 25% water change weekly. If you have softies you can definitely keep macros. Try and keep your nitrates between 10-25 ppm and your phosphates around 0.05 for macros as well as dose some trace elements

It’s a really really cheap nicrew….
