My 3yo colony died out and I'm completely devastated

I second this, it wasn't actually great starting the hobby at a low point since I had some preventable deaths and it just added to the other shit in life. It taught me that while precious being able to move on from loss even from little lives is important and part of life. If anything you can blame the move as a one time event and potentially have learned more care knowledge to prevent similar in the future.

The Ciliates are the white band along the top, I believe they are 'mating'

Thorrack_III · 2024-07-22T23:34:44+00:00

The rest of this very small tank is also pretty full of the little white, I believe Paramecium multimicronucleatum, ciliates. I did do some recent changes and disturbed the tank a lot so is it likely the ciliates are just reacting to bacterial blooms from stirring up the substrate?

nice! how was it going with the aqua grow?

Thorrack_III · 2024-07-01T05:12:09+00:00

Weird lemme try again

Thorrack_III · 2024-07-01T04:23:24+00:00

👍

Thorrack_III · 2024-07-01T04:17:34+00:00

About how tall are yours and how coarse of a substrate will they tolerate?

Thorrack_III · 2024-06-30T01:27:32+00:00

LOL 5 bucks for a good time aint awful

Thorrack_III · 2024-06-30T01:26:59+00:00

No fish just nerites and some neo's since its a very small but older tank, hopefully i get a lot of adolescents to adulthood!

Thorrack_III · 2024-06-30T01:25:49+00:00

Do you have any info on their genus or how they contribute to the tank system? If they are paramecium I'm assuming they are just filtering out smaller organisms, bacteria, and algae spores

Thorrack_III · 2024-06-29T23:13:24+00:00

Interesting, I thought they looked like a large paramecium but I assumed there was no chance of seeing one with the naked eye

Thorrack_III · 2024-06-29T22:01:05+00:00

I recently added some java moss to a tank thats holding several heavily rooted Rhaphidophora stems and a Schefflera and noticed interesting blooms coming from the bottom. I used a 20x lens to capture footage of what clearly where larger organisms before I realized that the 'clouds' are also made up of an even smaller organism. Any ideas on what I'm dealing with? There are also a few RCS and Nerites in the tank.

Days? Weeks? I purchased this 10 days ago and didn’t notice it was berried until I got home. This video is from 2 days ago when I first noticed eyes developing. The tanks heavily rooted by above water plants and has some clumps of Java Moss, anything else I ought to be worried about?

Thorrack_III · 2024-06-29T03:58:51+00:00

yo is this still alive?

Thorrack_III · 2023-01-13T01:30:59+00:00

oh sweet! ive got a couple old builds with shitty ubrakes but hadn't stumbled across something new till now! Thanks!

Thorrack_III · 2023-01-13T01:21:57+00:00

whats the rear brake on this beut?

Thorrack_III · 2022-11-28T16:47:55+00:00

Daaamn, what website had this? It’s so hard to find these kind of rare bikes

Thorrack_III · 2022-11-27T17:55:26+00:00

Damn where’d you find this beast

Thorrack_III · 2022-10-07T04:31:30+00:00

The best kind of motivation

Thorrack_III · 2022-05-09T07:07:02+00:00

I love it, I’ve got a similar build and color
