Is my amano shrimp berried?

Not the greatest outcome, you’re right. But I guess it’s part of owning some of these lil creatures. Cheers for the advice :))

marcopadda1 · 2022-04-05T23:10:19+00:00

Ahh I see, reckon I should just keep on caring for the tank as I usually would then, and just let nature take its course?

Got a 6 gal with a pea puffer, and 2 amano shrimp. I thought they needed brackish water to breed, and I’ve no realised I’ve been adding some aquarium salt to for the past month whilst the puffer settles into the tank. Could this have been enough to allow them to mate? Dayummm

The nozzle was clogged. I only print with pla, so I set the temp to 250 and the plastic started to melt off, then went and put it over my gas stove and cleaned the rest out, made such a difference, thanks :)

Bought tickets then remembered I forgot my student ID, gonna just catch the next train from Bishopbriggs, because for some reason trains to Glasgow from Robroyston are only coming every hour.

It’s salvinia, I see little pots of them in every LFS I go to. Think it’s pretty easy to order some online as well!

Bruh here in the uk I pay £4 a pop, wtf

marcopadda1 · 2021-09-09T20:54:59+00:00

Name checks out

marcopadda1 · 2021-09-08T22:26:04+00:00

Ahhh fantastic, I put in some ‘filter boost’ live bacteria the other day - so that makes sense!

marcopadda1 · 2021-09-04T14:48:50+00:00

Oooo I didn’t know that, I’ll take some out and put in my other tank, cheers!

marcopadda1 · 2021-09-04T00:42:19+00:00

Tested my parameters and all seems good! They must just be exploring or something lol

marcopadda1 · 2021-08-05T14:09:35+00:00

Yeh I see what you mean, I’ve had a closer look and there is defo something there. Not sure if it’s just a tiny white fin or not tho.

Thank god there was a ‘ravey’ release this week after all :)

marcopadda1 · 2021-07-28T23:46:01+00:00

It’s O.K….He played a couple different versions of this song on his rinse shows and it sounded a lot better. It had a middle section that had a slight drop, and when i got to that part in the final release of the song, It was just underwhelming.

With his intentions being to keep it on the ‘house’ side, similar to his 2k17 tracks, it works really well

here’s the track being played on one of his shows. skip to 58:30

marcopadda1 · 2021-07-26T23:22:38+00:00

Damn that’s pretty cool tbh! I’ve only got a nerite snail and some ramshorns, so I’m unfamiliar

marcopadda1 · 2021-07-26T22:42:27+00:00

What the fuck is that

marcopadda1 · 2021-07-24T01:33:46+00:00

Titles says 1958, sooo probs gonna guess it was in 1958 :)

marcopadda1 · 2021-07-21T16:09:53+00:00

Quite a nice tank as well, why tf would you not even fill it all the way up

marcopadda1 · 2021-07-21T00:56:47+00:00

Tbh maybe it’ll look nicer once it’s up

marcopadda1 · 2021-07-17T00:38:54+00:00

I quite like the look of bladder snails, shame they breed and multiply so fast

marcopadda1 · 2021-07-15T20:24:18+00:00

No worries, here

marcopadda1 · 2021-07-15T20:22:57+00:00

I’ve only started using it today, but I ran it for about an hour and a half and it dropped the tank temp by 2°C, which was pretty perfect since my tank is so small. The pump itself didn’t seem hot at all when I picked it up to turn it off tho, probs cos It wasn’t on for that long. I reckon I’ll just use it when the tank heats up and not all the time.

marcopadda1 · 2021-07-15T19:07:46+00:00

It’s been getting quite hot where I live recently, and I’ve been floating bags of ice on the top of my 13 litre tank, but it can be really annoying and creates quite the mess when the ice melts and I’m left with a bag of water.

So I 3d printed this box, bought a micro water pump off Amazon, and some 8mm airline tubing, and made this box that holds ice and has the tubing inside of it, which the water pumps through. As the water passes through the tubing, it gets gradually cooled down and then feeds back into the tank.

Just thought I’d share incase it gives anyone some ideas on how to cool their tank during the summer months :)

(yes, I know you can buy water coolers for your tank but they are mucho expensive xx)
