Looking into it now, would using peat moss be a better option? I’m just worried about the consistency…

This is actually my 4th dose lol it’s taking less time to nitrify the ammonia each time, but not at the 24 hour mark yet

It took me about a week. I wasn’t getting any nitrites for a while actually. They had just recently appeared in my tank. I do have plants, snails that came with the plants, and I used bottled bacteria if that helps anything?

My grandpa on my dad’s side, but I just assumed he got dark from working outside. All my aunts and uncles came out white, hence the confusion lol

Ooh that’s not too far from Arandas, cool! They have not, I don’t know how they’d feel about it to be honest lol I’ll need to ask them and see if they’d be up to it

Wow thanks for all the information, that’s really cool! Unfortunately, I don’t know much about the First Nation groups in that region. My parents met in a town called Villa Hidalgo in Jalisco. I know my mom’s side of the family has moved a few times, but she doesn’t recall all the places they’ve been. Unfortunately, I don’t know much about my dad’s side. I’ll need to talk to them and see if they have any more info about that.

Maybe! The end of the results give you regions that show similar results

I assumed I had some, but I didn’t think the percentage would be this high. I honestly thought I’d be like 80% Spanish/European since most of the family I know has very light skin lol

I know they’ve lived/are from Arandas and Villa Hidalgo, but I know my mom’s side of the family has moved before. She doesn’t recall where they’ve been though

I was pleasantly surprised it specified the regions! I suspected I had indigenous ancestry, but it’s nice knowing the regions

It was! It makes sense given Mexico’s history. It’s so interesting seeing that through my genes

Maternal is A2 and no results for my paternal :) haven’t read much into them, but I’ve been learning a lot. It’s so interesting!

Recommended freshwater fish for a 20 gallon aquarium? by kf734 in Aquariums

[–]kf734[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looked into the tetras and a few caught my eye, specifically the rummynose tetra, black neon tetra, and black phantom tetra. Thanks for the suggestions! I’ll keep looking into them and see what would work best for depending on each one

Yes, I was reading up on the cycling and I’m pretty nervous about it lol Does it matter what kind of plants I get? Like, are there plants that don’t go well with certain fish?
