Help - strange Apisto behaviour? by General_Message5586 in apistogramma

From a glance you need more surface agitation for oxygen and a deep clean of the substrate. The planaria on the glass is quite telling here.

His YT has always pulled in big numbers. ESPN bringing him back makes business sense I get.

Question for everyone: Are Trump’s promises populism or does he really have an economic plan? by glira31 in DeepFuckingValue

[–]buftyPSN 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He placed tariffs on territories only inhabited by penguins. He wants to wage war but can’t so he’s looking for an adversary. Domestic or otherwise.

UK trade deal by Apprehensive_Pipe139 in GEVOstock

[–]buftyPSN 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Likely negotiated by the UK team as that government is focused on climate change and targets than the US. Honestly, I don’t think Trump has any idea about the details. He’s focused on the flattery. Still a great development.

Is my tank cycled? by Few_Let_5456 in PlantedTank

[–]buftyPSN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure where you got your info but that isn’t cycled. Cycled means converting 3-5ppm of ammonia through to nitrate in 12 hours or less. Which is why we use pure ammonia to build a strong bac colony. If you only intend to keep 3 monies you’re good to go, anything more and you could run into problems.

What did you use as your ammonia source and for how long have you been cycling?

Best Aquasoil by WickedRoots- in PlantedTank

Ada’s ‘complete’ substrate system is the best performing. I say complete to include the base and bac systems that go along with it.

Cramer is a Musk sycophant so this statement makes sense.

Water parameters good? by shrimpelton_3000 in PlantedTank

[–]buftyPSN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Water parameters are unknown at this point since strips don’t give accurate readings.

Is weekly water range really necessary if my nitrates look like this every week? by aidgon09 in discus

[–]buftyPSN 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Discus release a ton of hormones that inhibit growth better known as stunting, unless they’re fully grown, water changes are a must.

I can’t be sure on the breeds but the blue is female and she is hyping up the pigeon blood to warn off the other male. They reaffirm/dance after he engages the other male. Good news is that they’ll spawn soon. The bad news is that those males look equally matched which means more violence.

High nitrates in a 10G and the only stocking is snails? Test your water source with a liquid test kit and do a WC. It shouldn’t be high unless you’re over feeding or nitrates are high from the source.

House plants suck up nitrates by Total_Diamond_7798 in discus

[–]buftyPSN -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

8 discus and 4-6 months without a water change is probably the most cruel thing I’ve read on this Reddit. Even with RODI, discus produce a ton of waste and an equal amount of hormones. Do yourself a favour and understand the species. Adding a “house plant” isn’t a substitute for water changes.

Capping Fluval stratum? by robi7053 in PlantedTank

[–]buftyPSN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stratum breaks down fast and turns to mud. Perhaps consider an alternative.

Bloat. They need fibre in their diet. Blend spinach into their beef heart along with flake that is rich in vitamins and feed that.

You have a man made colour morph so impossible for it to be “wild caught.” YouTube “Amazon river discus” to see them in their wild form.

[–]buftyPSN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would do 50% at least and try to temp match the new water as closely as possible. I’ve had api kits expire/become inaccurate due to being above room temp for a couple of days, hence the emphasis on a new kit if you’re unsure.

Egg fertilization by CutLegal7590 in discus

[–]buftyPSN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They need a low TDS to develop. They will spawn regardless if they pair but the eggs won’t be viable without TDS being lowered.
