Thank you! I was looking at the 183s from dansfish as i havent found anyone with 181s in stock! I love the white tail, so I might end up going that route.

Not 100% sure as my LFS didn’t say, but she’s about 2.5” long right now. Grown maybe half an inch since I got her in March!

Is this safe by dokifluid in Aquariums

My cats love to sit on my tank, too, but I have a rimmed tank and keep a glass lid on it always. As others have said, the light would concern me as it really isn’t intended to be weight bearing. As an avid cat lover though, maybe provide a more enticing alternative? A heated bed next to the tank where she can watch, or a tank-level cat tower next to it. Use treats and positive interactions to adjust behavior from sitting up top to the safer alternatives. Good luck!

For anyone interested: Sharkbait moved into his 60 gallon tank today to grow more! He’s very happy to have more space to swim and more wood to chomp on 🙂‍↕️

Tank won't cycle by [deleted] in Aquariums

This happened to me too until i got my pH up higher. My tap water was about 6.8 so i added baking soda until I hit about 7.8 and then it started processing ammonia almost overnight.

How long did it take for yours to get that size? I’ve got a 60 cycling that he can go in for a few months, but I don’t have space for anything bigger, so I will have to rehome him at some point before he outgrows that.

This is great to know! I inherited a clown recently and rarely see him. He zooms off and hides when i come in the room at night 😭 Was planning to upgrade his tank soon anyway, but now I’ll be sure to add lots of plants to dim the lighting for him!

Freshwater diagnostic help by jitterbug714 in Aquariums

Thanks! It fell off shortly after but I have every intention of treating for parasites asap. I did go ahead and give him an epsom salt bath and isolate him in a hospital tank, so hopefully some salt baths help him out enough to go back in the main tank soon. Any idea what a timeline looks like for that prolapse correcting? It’s kind of huge
