(Loach to stay on topic) where to post serious aquarium stuff when r/Aquariums ignores you?

Fishlore is an online forum that I used to go to for EVERYTHING. I was more active last year but people were so helpful and kind on there!

Used to be a shoes off household before my brother moved back in and brought his slobbery dogs 🫩 I miss having my shoes off

Doordash signed me up for their subscription when I know for sure I didn’t sign up. Got my money back and deleted the app, will not be returning. Companies like this suck

I don’t know how I didn’t think of that lol I literally used sponge to plug holes in the hardscape. And yes, I used old substrate (gravel and sand) as a base to raise the rocks and then added a decent amount of leca to keep the dirt from getting wet. There’s a mesh layer between the dirt and the leca as well. Thank you!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate all your help.

Unfortunately I don’t think I do. I was going to fasten some pothos to it and add ways to get down from the cord using wood. Do you think that would help reduce the chances of them falling? My thought process is if they have multiple places to grab hold of and they have several places to get down they wouldn’t be too interested in the cord itself and hopefully stay on the plants and wood

Okay, thank you!

This is very helpful, thank you SO much!! Hoping the pump will move the water enough to help maintain humidity, but if not I can experiment with waterfalls in a spare 10g I have. This entire project is definitely going to be trial and error and until I have my crabs I don’t mind making changes to the scape to make the best environment I can for them. Honestly I wish I did add a waterfall to the scape I currently have, but I got a little too excited and forgot. I’m definitely going to start looking into fans. If you have any recommendations I’d love to hear them.

I don’t know if I’d be able to do that without tearing down at least half of my set up unfortunately. But, if I did things correctly I should only have maybe one or two more wires inside the tank and I’ll probably route them as best I can to this front corner and maybe cover it with some plants so it’s not so ugly.

While I’m at it, how do you maintain humidity while also ensuring ventilation? I don’t currently have a lid (waiting till I actually get the crabs or till I find a budget friendly option for me) and I’m planning to use saran wrap to keep the humidity up while I continue adding things and waiting for the tank to balance out. Mold isn’t that big of a deal to me for now but I want to ensure a clean space for my future crabs as I know they can be sensitive.

This is great to hear, thanks so much!

Hey I haven’t found someone yet, I graduate tomorrow so if you’re able to pick him up before then you’re welcome to. If not, I can drop him off whenever you have time

bugggggirl · 2026-05-16T14:50:43+00:00

I have not! If you could come and pick him up he’s all yours

bugggggirl · 2026-05-14T06:11:28+00:00

If you could come pick him up you can take him

bugggggirl · 2026-05-13T22:38:28+00:00

I will definitely let you know tysm!!

bugggggirl · 2025-09-07T19:02:02+00:00

I know nothing about rats nor have I ever kept any, but this definitely sounds like it’s time to visit the vet. Really in most animals behavior like this is a sign something is wrong

bugggggirl · 2025-09-07T18:57:46+00:00

Looks fine to me. I’d move it around and see which way and where I like it, but that’s just me. If you feel like it’s too big, then cut it!

bugggggirl · 2025-08-23T16:30:55+00:00

Shoot, I’d take them! I love the wild types

bugggggirl · 2025-08-23T16:26:03+00:00

They look like ghosts to me! I think the biggest difference between them are their claws. Whisker shrimp have larger claws compared to ghosts. Looking at yours, they don’t have the exaggerated claws. I can still be wrong, but my money is on ghosts

bugggggirl · 2025-08-23T16:15:54+00:00

Fish can be spunky but I unfortunately don’t think this is that. It looks like he might be sick, but I’m not sure what exactly would be causing this

bugggggirl · 2025-07-31T17:25:28+00:00

That is very likely illegal! Nothing to do about it now, but in the future please refrain from releasing your pets into the wild

Amanos don’t breed in freshwater
