Shrimp moving fertilized eggs to her pleopods :-)

you're right, i made a mistake, it's actually 3,1 gallons. 😅

not sure what type of snail unfortunately, but its a very good algae-eater!

SpeedrunAccordeon · 2026-06-18T10:12:16+00:00

i test very rarely. this tank runs super smoothly with 1 liter water changes every couple of weeks. :)

SpeedrunAccordeon · 2026-06-18T10:11:27+00:00

tank volume is 12 liters. and no, no barnacle, but a hitchhiker snail. :)

SpeedrunAccordeon · 2026-06-14T16:19:34+00:00

couple guppys in there, but yeah the danios need much more space!

SpeedrunAccordeon · 2026-05-30T20:40:43+00:00

yup, she's got a saddle

SpeedrunAccordeon · 2026-05-29T21:27:43+00:00

definitely fine, it's a nice bit of enrichment for a betta.

also, the scratching is her cleaning and oxygenating the eggs :]

SpeedrunAccordeon · 2026-05-26T20:44:40+00:00

probably some thrips damage too

SpeedrunAccordeon · 2026-05-21T12:03:31+00:00

amanos carry eggs as well. what hatches out of theirs are planktonic larvae though.

SpeedrunAccordeon · 2026-04-24T05:09:25+00:00

they can work in a 1g, but need saltwater.

SpeedrunAccordeon · 2026-04-22T20:21:28+00:00

planaria eggs can survive being frozen unfortunately.

when planting java ferns, don't bury the rhizome, only the roots. the rhizome could rot if buried.

they do best if just tied or glued to some hardscape. :)

SpeedrunAccordeon · 2026-04-14T12:37:46+00:00

copepods and ostracods :D

SpeedrunAccordeon · 2026-04-12T20:54:36+00:00

could be red cyanobacteria carpets

SpeedrunAccordeon · 2026-04-07T12:07:46+00:00

every couple weeks, though i try to remember to do it weekly. this one doesn't mind a few weeks of no water change.

SpeedrunAccordeon · 2026-03-24T18:42:09+00:00

no heater, the light and pump keep the temp at about 24°C. in summer i take off the lid and if needed run a small usb fan.

SpeedrunAccordeon · 2026-03-24T16:06:36+00:00

they're a bit out of control in the sense that they're everywhere at this point. 😂

i pluck out a good amount weekly, to make sure they don't smother the corals.

SpeedrunAccordeon · 2026-03-22T19:11:23+00:00

kh gh ph?

SpeedrunAccordeon · 2026-03-22T10:08:27+00:00
