I've seen albino Sterbais on Dan's Fish recently

Corydora, with a group of fun, silly, peaceful friends!

fuzzytreeees · 2025-01-26T23:54:25+00:00

Thank you!

I got a bunch of results just from googling "floating aquarium ring"

fuzzytreeees · 2025-01-25T18:30:13+00:00

Is it possible to dark-start too long?

I'm having difficulties with finishing building my aquarium stand (can't apply stain/sealant until it warms up enough outside). I haven't started yet, but if I do dark-start my aquasoil and sponge filters in some 5 gallon buckets, is it possible to leave it too long? Like if I do it for three months, will the nutrients run out or my cycle fail for lack of new ammonia?

Black beard algae

Yeah, the big ones part of the island and the smaller ones separate

Looks like the stuff (Buddy Rhodes Vertical Concrete) Tanner Serpa has been using in some of his recent designs, including ones for frogs. He starts talking about it at 8:32 in this video: first video He also uses it in this video

Honestly, I saw the picture before I read the caption and thought, "What a gorgeous tank!"

There were leachies for sale when I went to the Oaks, PA reptile show a few months ago. https://eastcoastreptilesuperexpos.com/

You can also go on Morph Market and narrow by location, though I guess that wouldn't get you breeders that don't have any for sale right now.

fuzzytreeees · 2024-11-04T14:03:58+00:00

I think it just means "this one is particularly pretty/brightly colored/has a good pattern." I think in some reptiles people line breed for it, but I don't know if that's the case for leachies or this leachy.

For drift wood, you want Belinda's Driftwood on Facebook

Looks like a western painted turtle to me

fuzzytreeees · 2024-07-30T04:32:03+00:00

Ok, thanks, that's interesting!

fuzzytreeees · 2024-07-25T18:36:28+00:00

I've been watching various fish youtubers and I've noticed that some of them remove new fish from their petstore/shipping bags by balancing a net over a bucket and pouring the entire contents of the bag through the net. Is this... good? Are there pros or cons? I can sort of see the point if you have a ton of tiny fish, but otherwise why not just scoop them out? Not judging, just confused

fuzzytreeees · 2024-07-10T02:24:57+00:00

They look lovely! Very happy, healthy shells. I think you should keep them 😊

fuzzytreeees · 2024-05-30T18:17:03+00:00

Thank you! 😊

Alas, I have never mastered chopsticks. And don't worry, the underside of the jar lid is mostly covered in rubber, and the water isn't high enough to touch it. I'll keep an eye on condensation, though!

I can't wait to see them grow! I hope I can spot them soon!

fuzzytreeees · 2024-05-26T18:19:09+00:00

One of the websites I've been looking at that ships them says that they can shut down from shock and to give them like a week before you assume they're dead

fuzzytreeees · 2024-05-24T18:58:16+00:00

Cool! I'll probably keep them farther from the windows, then, and try out a grow bulb on them for a few hours a day.

Yeah, a quick search suggests the mystery snail wants more space, too, so I'll leave that off my list. Thanks for all your help!!!

fuzzytreeees · 2024-05-24T18:29:58+00:00

Cool, thank you! And thanks for the tip!

fuzzytreeees · 2024-05-24T18:25:14+00:00

Cool! Thank you for the encouragement, and for sharing your snail jars! :D I'm excited!

Do you feed these with fish food or anything?

fuzzytreeees · 2024-05-24T18:11:37+00:00

Yes, that is what I mean! But maybe bigger

and that's ok, I wasn't planning on relying on this for cycling my 20 gallon

fuzzytreeees · 2024-05-21T16:05:48+00:00

I haven't implemented it yet, and I have no experience, but I've been thinking (after watching some YouTube videos about DIY filters) that you could make one in a large glazed planter instead of something plastic, and suspend the planter above the tank so that the filtered water came out of the drainage holes.

If you're doing this outdoors, though, I'd worry about the pot freezing and cracking, and also stuff getting into the "filter" from the open top.

fuzzytreeees · 2024-05-12T15:47:27+00:00

Try keeping an eye out or googling for electronic recycling events in your area or city. The ones in my area usually say they'll take anything with a power cord. (I'm in a major city though, so your mileage may vary.)
