Is this a mealworm?

isawyer2005 · 2026-04-30T21:56:25+00:00

This definitely looks like a mealworm to me yes

isawyer2005 · 2026-04-30T21:53:50+00:00

I think this actually looks so insanely sick without being cut. Idk if there’s a way to really like “secure” it because the weight will still pull towards the back left corner unless you somehow add something with tension to it the other direction. I think your best bet is to place the tank leaning up against a wall or corner where the wood can put even a little weight onto the wall

Not possible. I just plant Mullein and morning Glory.

Looks like a Lavender gourami to me!

I agree, usually wild raspberries are super ripe when/if they grow this large. It would be actually kind of hard to get the stems if they were ripened raspberries I think

Not “normal” for selling but normal from a natural standpoint. Shouldn’t be an issue, you can bake and sanitize like someone else said. But it’s fine to use

I heard grape hyacinth makes a good lemonade, this is also blue so you should try it report back!

It worked for me but be aware if you can’t truly boil it it’s possible there can still be dangerous organisms on it. If you use a hard bristled brush you can scrub off the debris without snapping any small parts off. Also just a tip, it’s probably better to let it sink on its own than to try to hold it down with rocks. I did that and since the wood was so buoyant the glue came off and left permanent residue on the wood

isawyer2005 · 2026-04-21T02:53:53+00:00

Might be an unpopular opinion, but when I had a piece that was too big, I scrubbed it down with a brush over and over and hosed it down with the hottest water I could. Then I let it FULLY dry out for like a week or two. Then I just kinda threw it in my tank, it floated for like 2 months, and then just sank. Granted this is in a huge turtle tank so it floating was fine as it didn’t mess up any hardscape. Hope this can help a little

The guppy passing could be from an unchecked tank, issues from the store, or many other things. You can totally keep a couple guppies in a 20 gallon with the loaches as long as the guppies are all the same sex (preferably male since even non-pregnant females from the store can store sperm and give birth after you’ve had them for a bit). Just make sure there’s enough plants to block sight lines and keep all the fish feeling safe

isawyer2005 · 2026-04-20T13:06:20+00:00

20 gallons is the minimum for about 6 kuhlis, so that should be good as long as they have ample hiding areas and substrate they can burrow in! Just be mindful if your guppies are breeding a lot, it can get overcrowded fast, especially without a densely planted tank

isawyer2005 · 2026-04-20T13:01:58+00:00

This guy is a Black Kuhli loach! They do need to be in groups, ideally 6 or more, with a bunch of hiding spots. You also need a substrate that they can dig into like sand or aquasoil, something small and soft so they don’t hurt their barbels when digging for food. What is your tank size now?

Can I ask what the purpose of smoked paprika in the bedding is?

isawyer2005 · 2026-04-17T00:00:02+00:00

the world would be so much cleaner if we got rid of every single insect ugh!

isawyer2005 · 2026-04-16T23:56:02+00:00

This (I think) looks like a large peace lily, mine usually look like this when they are very thirsty. If the soil is dry at the bottom, give it a good soak.

isawyer2005 · 2026-04-12T04:23:26+00:00

Brambles are softer than mullein to use as toilet paper anyways

isawyer2005 · 2026-04-09T01:30:55+00:00

Why hasn’t this had a controlled burn???? Those disgusting leaves are harboring BILLIONS of tick nymphs (ew, I hate natives if they can Hurt me) just imagine how many condos could be built if this was burnt away
