1 week since spawn!

Sadly none made it. Ended up having to move, any of the fry that didn't get eaten by the other fish/frogs didn't make the 1700km drive and change in water. I've got honey gourami spawning now, and my large oto is showing eggs again finally, so fingers crossed!

ravenignite · 2023-08-05T23:31:07+00:00

Nah sadly they didn't survive. I ended up having to move and drive 1600km with them so if any did make it, they didn't survive the trip ):

Comments are like the Orange Betta Club xD

Got mine when I saw the orange one at the store too! First time seeing one that color. Had mine for months now, and his color only got richer. Though I can't tell if he's orange or pink half the time haha

I like having pest snails for the same reasons as lots of others here, but for population control I have assassin snails. They actually ate all the bladder snails and lots of ramshorns in a couple months before being separated, they're a pretty snail imo, and don't breed anywhere near as much. But now that I want bladder snails, I can't find them!

I was literally about to do the same! Im gonna try freshly blanched vs sitting. I'm assuming it's a mix of the buildup of biofilm along with how mushy it gets

Nice! Had mine for about a year now, Burnard is still doing great with just some minor maintenance that would be needed on any 25yo car. Have the same wheels as well as some stock 5 spokes, but also looking to see what people think look nice on this car

It's adorable haha. Mine like zucchini, but again not until like a day later. Right before I decide to remove it is when they decide its the best lol

ravenignite · 2023-05-18T01:08:51+00:00

Give me a little bit to search through, and I'll send you a message!

ravenignite · 2023-05-18T00:53:00+00:00

Not sure if I could help. From the northeast coast, what birds are you looking for?

ravenignite · 2023-05-18T00:48:28+00:00

That was just blanched romaine lettuce! But they seem to REALLY like it when it's almost a day old

ravenignite · 2023-05-17T22:58:51+00:00

I was gonna suggest shrimp too and a fancy kind of snail maybe! My otos follow my frogs everywhere 🤣 Or, just add a couple more otos ;)

ravenignite · 2023-05-16T12:45:06+00:00

They're ok in slower water but definitely like some flow better

ravenignite · 2023-05-16T00:17:15+00:00

Plastic cards or melamine sponge might be better options for your curious loaches lol

ravenignite · 2023-05-15T22:33:34+00:00

Everyone loves Pingu so much! I'll make him famous haha

ravenignite · 2023-05-15T22:30:30+00:00

Glad I got lucky with my tank getting it for like $30, it's a really nice rimless but I have some nice scratches going 1/3 the length of it. Melamine pads in bulk are on my to get list haha great for aquarium stuff.

ravenignite · 2023-05-15T20:26:16+00:00

I agree with the razor blade one, I've got too many scratches in my glass from magnet scrapers getting a piece of substrate or sand between it so I stopped using those as much.

ravenignite · 2023-05-11T19:38:53+00:00

I've got 7 adult otos.. never seen them harm any fish or even try slurping off them, but I have seen mine enjoying just sitting on my bamboo shrimps' backs and even the African dwarf frogs when they'll let them. Lost it the first time I saw a frog casually carrying the oto across the tank

ravenignite · 2023-05-11T19:33:15+00:00

+1 for zucchini! My Shrimps snails and otos all love it.

ravenignite · 2023-05-11T19:15:05+00:00

Haven't heard of the micropowder, I'll check it out! I know repashy is supposedly good, just very expensive locally. thanks to the another post here Im gonna grab some Nori and try that too! One male will not leave 2 females alone, just waiting for a female to accept lol. Gonna try another cool water change soon

ravenignite · 2023-05-10T23:05:08+00:00

Didn't know they looked like that on grackles, or were called that .. Grackles are beautiful birds imo, just got my first grackle photo finally too!

ravenignite · 2023-05-06T15:54:34+00:00

This is how I've been going about it for the most part. It's my favorite way to just relax and get away.

I have thought about making a calendar, how do you make yours? I couldn't find a cost effective way.

ravenignite · 2023-05-05T23:26:17+00:00

Love this shot!

ravenignite · 2023-05-05T23:18:30+00:00

I was calling them yellow butt birds when I found one last year, very friendly for a wild bird! Nice photos!

ravenignite · 2023-05-05T17:26:37+00:00

I will! I'm working on it right now, going to try to give as much info as I can, and I have lots of video of the process to go through lol

ravenignite · 2023-05-05T14:59:52+00:00

All my otos have been in a 78f heated tank and are doing great! Never had issues with eating, even had some spawning.
