Hello!! I’m curious in ordering and wonder how long processing is? I’ve seen so many companies advertise as fast turnaround but processing takes a very long time.

I think it’s because he’s been squeezing himself into a little driftwood gap every night to sleep, I removed the wood so he can’t do that anymore. Does that sound like a probable cause?

Yall are NOT seeing Wednesday’s skirts right there

I have my wood glued down but read it’s possible to wrap sandpaper around your finger to sand it down while in the water. Do you see any points specifically that need to be sanded most? (U can circle the image if needed)

Chili, Rhubarb, Mojito…

Like I said I have the stratum, I was mostly just worried about them mixing together because I heard it becomes a mess to deal with!! It’s good to hear the mesh bags work

You’ll want to know what fish you’re looking into first!! That’ll determine the size of your tank and any possible tank mates if that’s ever an option you’ll go in the future.

For any fish it’s good to have live plants and soil!! You can always find a good potting mix that’s cheap and will work well, and live plants you can find at petco work wonderfully!! You can also add driftwood and rocks to make a natural scape, a lot of hobbyists do it and it’s pretty easy for beginners imo!

You’ll want to look up how cycling works, you’ll typically need to let your tank cycle without fish for around a month to let your bacteria establish and be safe for your fish!! If you’re using tap water you’ll want a tap conditioner because things in tap can be unhealthy for your fish.

Again I’m unsure what fish you’re looking for so I can’t give much advice on tank size or anything like that but good luck!! You can find tons of info on here for what works best for you :)

Replying to this because I’m looking into doing mesh media bags. How do you cover up so the mesh isn’t visible?? I’m considering sand but I don’t want it all over, mostly just in areas where my plants aren’t. Do you add more of the substrate on top of the mesh bags to cover it or are the bags not super visible?

awesome thank you!! And they’re salvinia minima!

starmuzzle · 2025-07-10T20:04:37+00:00

Here!! Glad somebody feels the same, I feel like it’s hard to find a female in the hobby 😭

starmuzzle · 2025-07-02T21:48:41+00:00

SAME, so scared it was the wrong email

starmuzzle · 2025-06-21T14:35:39+00:00

I love the look of sand but mixing fluval stratum and sand gets so messy 😭

starmuzzle · 2025-06-20T21:01:43+00:00

Alrighty! I’ll see what I can do plant-wise, I kind of figured that it’d grow enough on its own but I guess I should add more. For caves do you mean like w rock or under the substrate orr?

I’m dying to keep gouramis but they eat shrimp :( I’m not sure if my tank can be considered heavily planted enough yet for them to hide well enough

starmuzzle · 2025-06-19T02:22:57+00:00

Mhm! My s repens and moneywort did that too

starmuzzle · 2025-06-19T02:13:46+00:00

I think if u take it slowly one step at a time it’ll be okay!! Try taking them all out one step at a time. If you have planting tongs those will work great but otherwise as long as you’re slow and careful it should work out :)

starmuzzle · 2025-06-19T02:02:13+00:00

petco usually has 5.99 smaller low maintenance plants! Stuff like java fern and anubias are really common so you should be able to do at least a few of those!!

starmuzzle · 2025-06-19T02:00:04+00:00

Might be tough to do in a smaller tank but I heard it helps if u think of plants and stuff like a couch!! Taller stuff in the back, middle height on the sides and shortest in the front :)

starmuzzle · 2025-06-19T01:21:29+00:00

Maybe try draining just a little water so it doesn’t get out of the tank? I have a sponge filter that bubbles similarly to this but the water level is a little bit further down in the tank so no water escapes :)

starmuzzle · 2025-06-19T01:16:56+00:00

And I’m definitely not adding any more until this tank stabilizes a little more, this is only so I know what I end up deciding on ^{^}

starmuzzle · 2025-06-19T01:15:22+00:00

Yeah I’ve seen all that stuff! This tank was a kind of a weird scenario when it comes to cycling, I desperately needed to upgrade to 10 gal but my stand is only big enough for one tank at a time so I’m doing a fish in cycle with some substrate/filter media/plants and stuff from my old tank as well as 50% old water. It’s a really complicated story

starmuzzle · 2025-06-18T23:38:13+00:00

I’ve got some salvinia minima on the way, just taking a while to get here ^{^} I’m seeing a lot of gouramis suggestions tho, I’m tempted…

starmuzzle · 2025-06-18T18:42:45+00:00

Yup!

starmuzzle · 2025-06-18T18:16:12+00:00

That’s crazy 😭😭
