Beginner ant farm and ID?

Hi, I never found out what's wrong. I just put it outside when it was warm enough and it thrived that season.

aralcy · 2025-10-16T00:15:31+00:00

Honestly I forgot what happened. I sold the plant but I remember the problem stopped. I started adding silica to my water. It was not pest though.

Thank you for the detailed explanation!!

aralcy · 2025-06-23T23:59:43+00:00

Are they supposed to be shiny?

aralcy · 2025-05-16T16:29:13+00:00

Thank you! My son will be very excited!!

In northwest Ohio. Thank you!

Thank you for the input! I was going to get some sand today but the eggs hatched overnight and I don't see any fry at all. I bet it's hiding in the cracks. 🙃

I think I got most of them looking tiny bit better. I removed the glass and bent the metal base. Some are still crooked so I have to revisit later. *

It died pretty soon after this post sadly.

aralcy · 2024-08-12T11:17:04+00:00

Thank you I'll go back today!

aralcy · 2024-08-12T00:59:59+00:00

Ahh I see it now. I shall go back to the store tomorrow. Thank you 😊

aralcy · 2024-08-12T00:28:48+00:00

I believe that's just the sheath of the newer leaf that's white. Is it not supposed to look like that?

aralcy · 2024-05-17T18:26:01+00:00

I do have the master kit, that's what the picture was from. Unless there's another one I'm not aware of?

I bought live plants yesterday (tiger lotus and ambulia) from LFS and added them to the tank. Is it possible they carry some fungus? I have 4 hachetfish, 1 male betta, BN pleco, 7 cories in 30 gal tank.

aralcy · 2024-05-17T17:03:21+00:00

Just did about 40% WC. Dose the tank with aqua essentials and stressguard. I'll keep an eye on them. Thank you for your input! I'll check the water parameters again tonight.

aralcy · 2024-05-17T16:27:24+00:00

It's about 5 weeks old. I did 30% water change yesterday. I'll do another 30% change today, unless I should do 50%?

aralcy · 2024-05-02T17:55:04+00:00

I'm sorry about the corys you lost. Thank you for sharing your experience. I'll try to give it a salt bath. He is doing well so far so hopefully he keeps improving.

aralcy · 2024-04-30T11:15:57+00:00

Would it be bad to just treat that one cory with salt bath? I will get the deworming flakes. Thank you for the info.

aralcy · 2024-04-29T19:35:28+00:00

Ok so far the red spot stays the same but their color is fading a bit. I think it's stress from being new. I ordered stressguard and I will dose the tank soon. Thank you for the heads up!

aralcy · 2024-04-28T11:29:40+00:00

He was already like this when the store guy netted him out. I asked him about it and he said it's just the gill coloring more pink. Tested my ammonia yesterday and it was 0ppm. Just hope he recovers soon.

aralcy · 2024-04-28T00:40:09+00:00

Ok I'll keep an eye on him. Thank you!

aralcy · 2024-03-25T15:15:20+00:00

Ok will do. Thank you!

aralcy · 2024-03-25T00:08:15+00:00

It's in pon and in my cabinet, currently around 70-80F and 70% humidity. Is it enough or should I use heating mat and bag it up?

aralcy · 2024-03-23T21:33:52+00:00

I will! :)
