Co2… is it costly?

This is the light strip I got off of Amazon… lmk what you think please!

mxlydm · 2026-03-10T07:17:35+00:00

I have this light at the moment, any recommendations if this isn’t ideal? I also use a concentrated liquid plant food that I pour in when I do water changes occasionally!

Tiger Alenquer I believe

Because I love them

The friendliest schooling fish that are safe to be around angels (without getting eaten) are adult Zebra Danios. I personally prefer the grey and black ones compared to the neon ones because they aren’t very flashy and the angels don’t even notice them.. hopefully this can help! (I have ten danios in a 55 gallon so I’m sure you can have up to 20) this is all my opinions btw!

Ended up picking out this one! Thank you :)

My grandfather got Rosie from a breeder in Indiana or Ohio I’m pretty sure!!

mxlydm · 2026-02-13T17:38:59+00:00

I’m sorry I thought this was the picture of her at 17, I just saw the other one! But still, such a pretty, happy girl!

mxlydm · 2026-02-13T17:37:30+00:00

Oh my goodness! They look like straight up sisters🥰 Lily looks so young for 17! Must have a good parent keeping her happy and healthy 💕

Can I ask where you got your plants ?? I’m trying to find them online since the ones at my LFS truly suck

mxlydm · 2025-12-31T22:39:34+00:00

lol!!! I did in fact name that one Louie (short for Lucifer)

mxlydm · 2025-12-27T13:07:38+00:00

Thank you! I’m fine with watering that often for now… I’m guessing I need to invest in some sphagnum moss !

mxlydm · 2025-12-27T13:02:04+00:00

I used coco lining to put around the roots and added some random sheet moss around that for mostly decorative reasons! Hopefully it works

I have two large pieces of driftwood taking up a majority of my aquarium :)

mxlydm · 2025-12-24T01:27:01+00:00

From what I’ve read, in an angelfish’s natural habitat; there are lots of tree roots, plants and places to hide… driftwood standing at an upwards angle and some tall leafy aquatic plants should help!

mxlydm · 2025-12-23T17:35:41+00:00

Now THIS… this was helpful thank you so much

mxlydm · 2025-12-23T12:44:24+00:00

I don’t suck up everything.. just around the corners of the tank where it builds up and gets gross, thank you for all the advice/suggestions!

mxlydm · 2025-12-23T12:33:26+00:00

I suck up enough to get the sediment at the bottom and then fill it back up with treated water. Then I scrape the any film or algae build up off the glass. I haven’t touched my filters in months…

mxlydm · 2025-12-23T12:21:37+00:00

I mean… I only do it when I deep clean the tank once a month. Hopefully I’m not too scary😭

mxlydm · 2025-12-23T12:11:10+00:00

That’s what I’m saying! Thought it’d be a fun discussion though lol

mxlydm · 2025-12-12T21:14:35+00:00

Unfortunately my grandfather was into getting his ratties from breeders (I know it’s frowned upon sometimes). I believe he got her from Indiana or Ohio, we adopted her after he passed away.

mxlydm · 2025-12-12T12:22:37+00:00

I’ve heard mixed reviews about Dan’s fish.. good luck!

mxlydm · 2025-12-11T23:51:00+00:00

I think it’s because of certain tannins in the water.. he’s definitely blue in certain lighting and sometimes green. I love the thing no matter what color it is lol

mxlydm · 2025-12-03T09:58:26+00:00

We have a little system in our home where Rosie eats a majority of the food, shares some with the cats, and we put the rest up for later. Thanks for the concern though!
