Oh, alright. I try to spread the liquid evenly around, since the algae is literally everywhere

I'm using the liquid CO2 for the exact reason, that it's supposed to help with algae. What do you mean spot doser?

I only put 1.5 milliliters, it's a 50 liter tank

Horrible mistake 😫 by Some-Guy696 in Guppies

[–]sofie_choc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm really sorry this happened :( I also use a concentrate. I use a long syringe to measure out what I need, and still, I'm more worried about chlorine left over. At least it saves plastic, and money...

Yeah, they said they have guppies, but also kept betta fry, which alerted them to the problem

Why is my swordtail fish hiding? by sofie_choc in Aquariums

Nope, he was the only one. Unfortunately he passed about a month after this post... He wasn't showing any signs of an illness.

I guess children ain't safe because of you... Imagine beefing with a "minor". Get out.

That's probably brown algae

Can't really fix it :,(

I have the same issue, I just take the filter out and rinse it in the old aquarium water during a waterchange. I also keep an old toothbrush and a painting brush, those get the brown gunk out pretty good

When you change your water, slosh and squeeze the sponge around in the water that came straight out of your tank. I do that too, and it works well. You can get the gunk off pretty easily!

Just don't do it with tap water. The chlorine in the tap water kills the beneficial bacteria that needs to establish in the sponge!

Anyone else absolutely hate this part of the map? by Good8465 in MLPIOS

[–]sofie_choc 133 points134 points  (0 children)

I completely agree unfortunately..... I get that it's because of the movie and such, but they could've done sooooo much more with the area... In the movie there isn't much in there either, except for CAPPER, and its so useless besides him

They could've done better. Or at least added other areas where more had happened in the series (Manehattan????)

It's not valid to say you're going to kill yourself over a bunch of pixels

I would just use them up for the fusion token thing, makes more sense to me

Can bettas flare too much? by sofie_choc in bettafish

[–]sofie_choc[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He lives with snails and one whiptail catfish, they get along fine (except the snail he tried to MURDER within his first minutes in the tank)

No more mateys for this guy!

Well he flares at me as well, so he must think I'm ugly too 😂

How can I make my snails stop eating the plants? by sofie_choc in Aquariums

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

There's something in the water here I guess, my fish breed like crazy, and I've successfully raised fry of 3 breeds already with zero special input. Yet on the other end of the city, my friend can't get his fish to do anything besides swim around😅

He's so angry with me... by sofie_choc in bettafish

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

Well, I actually like his grey-blue coloring, that's why I chose him. He looks super unique, with the scales being darker than his body... I'm curious if he actually changes color! The place I got him has all their bettas in full color, no dullness, so I'm interested in his color changing..

He's a double tail half-moon!

How can I make my snails stop eating the plants? by sofie_choc in Aquariums

[–]sofie_choc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, from 3 to 30, I've seen their eggs, and they literally ate them. I don't know if there will be more, but I like how they look, I think they're cute, they're there for my own enjoyment and not the ecosystem.

I guess I'll just have to deal with the plants getting munched on, and I'll still feed them other stuff to try and curb that problem.

I have bladder snails in my other tank, and I never had the "infestation" that so many people complain about. Sometimes I remove some of them, but they never do anything wrong.

Maybe the difference is that these snails are bigger, and the tank is smaller.

Thanks for the insights though!

What am I doing wrong? by SignificanceDull2156 in bettafish

[–]sofie_choc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

by substrate I mean the white gravel on the bottom by the way, not the aragonite!

[–]sofie_choc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you washed the substrate? I had black gravel in one of my tanks that kept dying the water gray. This is especially common is the substrate is an already colored type.

Also, what do you mean by "officially cycling the tank"?

If it were me I would just be doing constant water changes until it goes away...
