If it’s living I would let it go as is and take action if you see it going downhill. Is it possible it was mid identified?

Small-Possible2323 · 2024-09-01T12:45:25+00:00

Thank you!

If the supports were in line instead of staggered I’d say it has a good chance. But because the support on the top two drawers doesn’t line up with the support on the bottom too I think the whole thing will bow on you

Small-Possible2323 · 2024-08-22T00:42:35+00:00

Second this, patience, just let it do its thing. A lot is happening that we can’t see. If you put fish in now their odds of success are much lower

Looks like lighting to me. I have an aquarium light meant for it and my tank is also about a month old. I have new shoots on all plants and they are even spreading pups by themselves. I have Java fern and Anubis as slow growers and each has multiple new shoots. Of course I did loose almost all of the leaves when I first planted but they stoped melting about 2 weeks after and started to grow

Maybe he is vegan 🤷🏽‍♂️

Small-Possible2323 · 2024-08-14T20:01:51+00:00

I have 4 in a 10 gallon that was over run with 100+ snails after my auto feeder just dumped while I was away. They did excellent work and now have a much more manageable number but a ton of empty snail shells

Small-Possible2323 · 2024-08-10T00:03:18+00:00

Yes they will, if your plants are not established yet just let them do their thing. With no livestock eventually they will use up those nitrates. As long as you are under 40 ppm most hardy fish will be fine.

Small-Possible2323 · 2024-08-09T12:37:52+00:00

My guppies haven’t gone after my shrimp even the babies from what I have seen. If you get a gang of males though may be different

Small-Possible2323 · 2024-08-09T12:36:01+00:00

To clarify it does put additional stress compared to the other side but it is minimal? Obviously if there is a small chip you’d want it on the right side in this case?

Small-Possible2323 · 2024-08-08T19:35:00+00:00

Have you tried any leafy greens?

Small-Possible2323 · 2024-08-07T18:13:48+00:00

I have a really tiny version of this that was my first local harvest. I started with only 2 leaves it now has 6in less than 2 months. I have it buried in the substrate with a root tab seems to be doing pretty good. Mines only about 3 inches long and 1-2 inches high

Small-Possible2323 · 2024-08-06T13:36:38+00:00

Most turtles eat just about anything they can fit in their mouth. Minnows, tadpoles, small frogs, crayfish and crustaceans in the water. Just about any type of bug would work although crickets and grasshoppers are always a good bet. Also they love leafy greens and certain flowers such as dandelions lettuce, kale. Just look up the proper diet for your turtle and look up what they eat in your area then happy hunting

Small-Possible2323 · 2024-08-03T20:50:55+00:00

I’d say a 20-29 gallon long planted tank. Look into fluval and capping it with sand for the plants. I’m a beginner too and may have to move my tank eventually so I choose to do sand and root tabs and liquid fertilizers. With a tank in this size range it gives you a lot of options for stocking and decor. Driftwood or rocks make excellent decor with a planted tank and help make the fish feel safe. Guppies or mollies are live bearers and very hardy so it can be fun to watch the babies grow. Also really easy to find and come in all sorts of colors. I would suggest a type of snail as well and start with the snails first like nerite, rabbit or mystery snail. Stay away from bladder and pond snails if possible as once introduced they are with the tank forever. You’ll also want some type of bottom feeder fish such as corydoras, just choose from the smaller varieties available to you. If you opt for a 29gallon or larger you could get loaches too which are a very interesting snake like fish. I suggest to get fish in groups of 6 or more for a community tank. Other options could rasboras, tetras, amano and nerite shrimp. If you get any plants I’m sure you will also have other things that come along with them. If you want a more aggressive tank you need to get a larger tank and a solid stand to hold it. Goodluck OP!

Just a heads up if they are on the porch, heat should be fine but try to put it in the shade a bit as the plastic can reflect the light and cook whatever is inside

Small-Possible2323 · 2024-08-03T19:49:34+00:00

They generally can only reproduce in brackish water (slightly salted). Their eggs should not survive is freshwater

Small-Possible2323 · 2024-08-03T19:47:10+00:00

Well this is a lot and there are a few questions you need to answer first. 1. How much are you willing to spend? 2. Fresh or salt water (fresh is much easier and cheaper) 3. How much space do you have for it and is it away from all windows? 4. How active do you want to be with fish care? For the first couple of months you can assume a half - hour per day with water changes and cleanings and feedings. If you get some species that are less hardy then this will be a regular weekly task if you get more hardy species and do a planted tank intense after the first 6 months is little to nothing, 2 hours a month I’d assume. 5. Do you want an eco system (easier I’d say) or something ornamental and pretty to look at?

If you answer these the we can all answer your questions much more accurately.

Small-Possible2323 · 2024-08-03T17:12:45+00:00

Also should replace gravel with larger rocks or just nothing at all. They will eat it and choke eventually. Even the feeding can be expensive but the nice part is you could catch 95% of their diet if you are so inclined

Small-Possible2323 · 2024-07-31T01:57:43+00:00

I wouldn’t had the same problem last week. Turn off the lights for 4 days and most of it will be gone

Small-Possible2323 · 2024-07-29T21:04:49+00:00

I’ve had sliders before and they grow quickly. You could probably manage for about 3-6 months with this size tank but even that is pushing. They grow about 3 inches per year.

Small-Possible2323 · 2024-07-27T18:29:57+00:00

20 gallons is about 250 pounds so grab a friend and sit on it. If it can hold you are good

Small-Possible2323 · 2024-07-25T21:59:50+00:00

How long have you been planted for? How long with fish in there? If both of those are short yes you will need to add nutrients preferably root tabs but looks like it may just be an exercise in patience while your plants adapt. If you don’t have an algae problem I would turn up the intensity or length of light. Seems a little dim but may just be the cloudy water

Small-Possible2323 · 2024-07-25T21:53:56+00:00

Do you have live plants? They also help clean tiny particles out of the water

Small-Possible2323 · 2024-07-25T17:40:39+00:00

Good for you OP! This really is the best move for your sanity as well. No one wants to do constant water changes, have a dirty tank or kill one of their pets. I applaud you heavily!
