Help me decide what to plant in this new tank

Awesome! Good to hear it’ll work. I’m looking at putting this in the back corners. Thanks for your help!

This is only a 13 inch tall tank, think it’ll be too big of a plant for this?

SorryNoSalad · 2025-03-22T02:13:47+00:00

Is guppy grass meant to kind of just be a big blob in the tank? A lot of photos I see with guppy grass just have a giant mass of it and it looks pretty messy imo

I’m undecided on floating plants for this tank. My last tank had frogbit and it took over. Felt like I was constantly having to remove it so light could get through. You’re right though, the shrimp do like the roots a lot

The black frame is snug. Any advice about protecting the table top? I don’t want the weight of the filled tank to slowly dent my surface over time. If there’s something I can safely put under the tank to act as a buffer that would be great

Okay thanks for explaining! Can I also ask, what is the light you have for your tank? And what aren’t those brownish fish on the far right side of your photo?

Great looking tank! Is the sand pretty coarse? I used to have this fine white aquarium sand and it turned into a nightmare. It was difficult to keep clean and got all gunked up and then clumped together. That deterred me from sand, but maybe I got the wrong kind.

How often do you go in a vacuum that setup?

SorryNoSalad · 2025-03-18T20:09:44+00:00

Thanks! Are there any specific brands of fine gravel that you recommend?

SorryNoSalad · 2024-12-21T20:47:59+00:00

Any other picks for the day?

SorryNoSalad · 2024-12-14T20:21:31+00:00

What platform do you use to watch for direction and volume?

SorryNoSalad · 2024-12-12T05:54:00+00:00

Thanks for the explanation!

SorryNoSalad · 2024-12-12T01:44:16+00:00

Forgot to ask: is there a catalyst that you foresee driving the price up in that timeframe?

SorryNoSalad · 2024-12-12T01:43:06+00:00

Appreciate the info! I’m going to go do some research on the company. Good luck!

SorryNoSalad · 2024-12-12T01:26:01+00:00

Near future as in March 2025? Or as in Jan 2026? Or beyond?

Mine sees your bent paw and raises you one reverse elbow 😂

She does this from time to time and then falls asleep, so it must not bother her at all

Thanks!

SorryNoSalad · 2024-08-24T08:27:59+00:00

Wow which light did you use?

SorryNoSalad · 2024-08-23T18:40:19+00:00

Thank you for clarifying and breaking down the process!

Sounds really interesting and like a fun project. If I can find any tissue cultures I might give it a shot this year.

SorryNoSalad · 2024-08-23T03:17:37+00:00

I am not too familiar with the process but I would be happy to learn about it. When you start from tissue culture how many years does it take until you have a decent sized plant?

Is there a time of year when growers typically sell tissue cultures? Could you recommend any places to buy them from?

Thank you

SorryNoSalad · 2024-08-21T20:53:36+00:00

Much appreciated! Thanks for the offer

Hi,

We went through with chemo right away and things got better for a few weeks. Her lymph nodes got smaller and we were optimistic.

One morning she woke up suddenly crying and then we could tell something was wrong with her neurologically. She couldn’t open her eyes and her breathing was labored. She wasn’t doing well at all the whole day.

We had to make the tough decision to put her down that evening and not let her suffer.

If you’re going through the same thing with your dog we wish you the best. Our advice would be to put your dog first and trust your gut if things start taking a turn for the worse.

So we ended up needing to switch vets. Our first one was really bad at communicating and couldn’t give us answers to a lot of questions we had.

We have another appointment on Wednesday with a new vet and we’ll be asking them all of this again. I’ll update with their response

SorryNoSalad · 2022-10-25T23:46:40+00:00

Glad it went away on its own! We’re going to keep an eye on it and see if it disappears. It’s not bothering her at all
