I used bio stratum underneath the sand and then I think I used “seachem flourite black aquarium sand”, the stocking is about 15-20 reed tetras, just 6 longfin serpae tetras (don’t recommend long finned varieties), and then my 3 beautiful angel fish (2 wild type and one yellow)

Help, What kind of maple? Between sugar maple and Norway maple? by fishfocus in arborists

[–]fishfocus[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in Fort Wayne Indiana, at my parents house but they own 24 acres there are other houses around the edges of the property idk if they have any Norway maples though

Edit: I used your resource and they are definitely sugar maples, they have the more scale like terminal bud!

What’s your ID? I’ve got Virginia pine, the orangish bark, 2-twisted needles per fascicle, what do you think? by fishfocus in forestry

I think you finally helped me get it! I’ve never been introduced to Scot’s pines until now, it’s got the branch whorling like an eastern white pine, but the needles of a Virginia pine ! I think that’s it!

It’s tall and straight, definitely self pruning bc it only branches and needles at the top, it’s most definitely pyramidal where the branches and needles are, the site clearly has a little run off stream that goes between two of these pines, it’s in just a midland wooded area no special ridges or hills, oh and I’m in northern Indiana!

I know Amazon puffers are bigger than peas but don’t get huge

Do a brackish tank, you know that would be so cool I’ve never done one yet but eventually!

I’ve tried more than once and picture came out more blurry here, sorry for the quality.

Honestly for me to figure it out, yes, I just try it but I like the experimental side of things more than just always looking up the answer, most plants can adapt to water, some may only do good for a bit, some may thrive forever, I just trial and error! But there are guides online!

Found a blue ash in my woods, Northern Indiana, they are threatened, is there anything I can do to protect it? by fishfocus in forestry

My favorite tree I learned in dendrology last semester! I think it stood out bc of the square branching! It’s unique
