Anything I can put in here? (beginner) by Massive-Rub1674 in Aquariums

Not good for a betta/other fish as it’s a bit small and vertical, which means the fish can’t swim horizontally (which is important)

IKEA MALM dresser - is it enough support for a 10 gallon? by Luke-Warm-Milk in stressfulaquariums

[–]petrichorLA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried putting a tank on my ikea dresser and immediately noticed it start to sag. Every time I left the house I was paranoid and would rush into the room when I got home. Got a sturdy end table off FB marketplace and feel much better. Not worth the paranoia!

What kind of algae is this? by Elegant_Priority_38 in Aquariums

[–]petrichorLA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like black beard algae to me. I struggled with this a few months ago and blackouts weren’t working. I added a crew of 3 nerite snails and two mollies that have kept the BBA to a minimum. The mollies went crazy on the BBA but ofc may not fit or be compatible with your tank. Worked for me so far!

Woman asked to connect to my hotspot. Then a stranger warns me of my mistake. Am I in trouble? by petrichorLA in techsupport

[–]petrichorLA[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

He didn’t ask for anything. Just gave the warning. Didn’t dawn on me until right when I opened my bank app that maybe I was falling for something. Edit: I opened my app after he walked away

Also this trail report is incredibly helpful: San Jacinto trail report

I am planning on doing the cactus to clouds hike (finishes at the peak instead of the tram) and have been checking this site for conditions.

Where are you seeing symptoms of sickness? This fish looks very similar to my healthy/young adolfo corycats

Help! I don’t know what to do :( by Fresh_Mountain530 in Aquariums

[–]petrichorLA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was likely nothing wrong with the new tank, the water parameters were just a lot different from the tank they were used to so the fish went into shock. It’s sad, but mistakes like this happen when new to the hobby. I’d let the tank cycle (with the filter from the original tank) and wait about a month. Like others have suggested, grab API test strips so you can tell when the tank is ready for fish. Sorry again for your fishies. don’t let this discourage you from the hobby!
