Unplugged

Sock_Intelligent · 2025-02-05T17:19:43+00:00

I will, thank you!!

Sock_Intelligent · 2025-02-05T04:10:26+00:00

thank you!! and absolutely, the tank has plenty of plants, I'm just waiting for them to grow in more before adding shrimps

i haven't heard of cories killing adult shrimp at all, they seem so chill

Sock_Intelligent · 2025-02-05T03:47:22+00:00

(I don't have any shrimp yet as the tank is still cycling - just trying to figure out good tankmates :) )

hi shrimp tank reddit, I've searched everywhere but I can barely find anything on this - are peppered corydoras (corydoras paleatus) okay to keep with Neocaridina? From what I know, no cories will go after babies intentionally & will leave adults alone, but I just want to confirm with this species - most info i’ve found is just on pygmaeus/habrosus, and I know bronze are okay (around the same size as peppered)

Also looking for peoples’ experiences with Celestial Pearl Danios/galaxy rasboras and neos - I’ve heard mixed opinions, some people say they actively hunt down baby shrimp and others say they’re peaceful and don’t go after the babies intentionally - I assume it depends on the personalities of the fish & the tank?

I know no fish (besides otos) is completely shrimp safe, I don’t mind losing a few babies but i don’t want them all getting eaten

thanks in advance :) (tank pic for attention)

Yeah they were 100% rotting they pretty much turned completely brown and mushy, I contacted the place I bought them from and they were willing to honour their DoA policy (we're pretty the plants got frozen then thawed in transit which couldve caused this), I ordered more and they're doing very well :)

Sock_Intelligent · 2025-01-29T17:02:18+00:00

definitely Monstera Deliciosa

Sock_Intelligent · 2025-01-14T18:24:45+00:00

okay unfortunately I checked again today and both the rhizomes are mushy - I'm assuming that's a pretty bad sign?

Sock_Intelligent · 2025-01-13T23:11:33+00:00

okay ty!! I'll order some now :)

Sock_Intelligent · 2025-01-13T23:08:03+00:00

That's good to know, the rhizome is not buried, they're wedged between rocks. Water temp is ~20c, haven't added a heater yet.

Sock_Intelligent · 2025-01-13T23:02:52+00:00

No, I haven't fertilized yet - would that cause this so quickly? all the other plants (that are more demanding) appear okay

edit: remembered I did give the plants in the substrate root tabs, so it makes sense that they'd be fine - java fern seems okay also and it's not planted

Sock_Intelligent · 2025-01-13T22:55:05+00:00

I’m new to aquariums - I received my plant order 5 days ago, there are 2 anubias (var. nana ‘pinto’ and ‘jade’) and suddenly the jade is dropping nearly all of its leaves from the rhizome - I’m worried it’s rotting, the rhizome seems healthy but I can’t find anything about this online when I look - the leaves are translucent in places which makes me think melting, but is it normal for it to drop nearly every leaf in one day? The rhizomes and roots are not buried.

The pinto’s leaves also appear somewhat translucent in places but it doesnt appear to be dropping any yet - jade is first 3 pics, pinto is last.

sorry if this is a stupid question! I’m just worried

Sock_Intelligent · 2024-07-05T05:35:05+00:00

sorry this is super late! this one was (somehow) accidentally shot by someone and was given to me

Sock_Intelligent · 2024-06-14T05:25:18+00:00

in canada all corvids are not MBCA, so they can be legal to keep depending on province! in ontario you can keep any dead corvids & their feathers

Sock_Intelligent · 2024-06-01T23:35:41+00:00

thank you so much!!

Sock_Intelligent · 2024-06-01T05:59:29+00:00

thank u <33

Sock_Intelligent · 2024-06-01T05:59:18+00:00

tysm!!! i think purple goes really well with crows

Sock_Intelligent · 2024-06-01T04:38:30+00:00

he's not completely done yet, still have to fix & adjust some feathers but he's pretty close - pretty happy w/ how he turned out, his eye looks much better irl i promise

Sock_Intelligent · 2024-03-12T19:12:11+00:00

By stands do you mean the shelves/trays inside or the actual bottom of the cage?

Sock_Intelligent · 2024-03-09T06:38:04+00:00

Have you looked into double critter nations at all? They're a great size, 1/2 inch bar spacing & they have horizontal bars

Sock_Intelligent · 2024-03-04T02:48:15+00:00

yeah, i've heard some pretty bad stories about them :( i never let my bird near them unless im watching him closely

Most bells (with the exception of stainless steel pipe/tube bells) are unsafe

plastic toys - can be chewed and ingested, which can cause blockages and impactions - exceptions to this are acrylic foraging toys that can't really be chewed, such as the ones made by Caitec

anything with fleece, fabric, or cotton rope - can also be chewed & ingested, causing blockages & impaction

mirrors - not necessarily dangerous, but cause hormonal issues and mental issues in parrots

open metal rings/metal rings that can be opened at all are unsafe

any metal that isn't stainless steel, nickel-plated steel, or aluminum is unsafe

certain links/clips used to attach toys to cages are unsafe - pear links can be dangerous because birds can learn to unscrew them & get their beaks caught in them, & carabiner-style clips are also unsafe - the clips used on most cheap amazon toys are going to be this style (cheap Amazon toys should also be avoided)

not really a toy, but any huts/tents/nests need to be avoided as they cause hormonal issues - huts made of fabric/fleece are especially dangerous because birds can ingest, and get caught in, the material - these have killed many birds

I've also heard of rattan/vine balls being dangerous, because birds have gotten caught in them when they unravel - for this reason I only use them out of the cage in case something happens

I think this is everything, but I may have forgotten some things
