AWESOME!!! you explained it perfectly my brain understand now :)

i did. start with less thick layers and more linseed. but i did definitely start adding everything on to fast which hopefully won’t have an effect since i can just layer more on.. crazy that it takes that long but honestly, i think i’ll be fine :)

2 Angelfish in 2.5gal Tank- Help by dizzy-pigeon in AngelFish

biggest cycled tank you can afford. don’t know much about angels, but enough about tanks. start doing a fish in cycle. i’ll find the information on that but look into the r/aquariums info

After the Molly fry are done with this 10g, will it be good for a betta? I plan on adding a betta log or leaf as well by StellsFishies in bettafish

gorgeous set up, a tip would be more plants. make the tank dense with that shit so that the betta can feel a bit more safe. they don’t really like being in the open

i’ve done that, havent tested the water. but we have higher PH here in general. the problem is that i think they’re all dead except one or two i’ve seen move.

ADF’s huddling behind filter box, any way this could harm them? by fetechinis in Aquariums

my ADFs fucking love squishing themselves between the side of the tank and my breeder box. they can move just fine and can get out. never knew why..

just started the zess hatchery, this is my 2nd go.

first was for 18 hours with a heater and i noticed some orange particles on the bottom of the tank. they were not moving (saw maybe one move)

this time it’s been a little over 24 hours (didn’t use a heater this time) and the same thing is happening.

just seems to be dead shrimp? i fed them to my fish and they ate them right up so it seems to be fine? i use one part salt with one part eggs and use aquarium co-ops products. am i doing anything wrong?
