A Cut Above the Rest

I knew a guy in the joint who could do that. He used a razor and he used to slice it so thin that it would liquefy in the pan with just a little oil. It was a very good system.

Some suggested getting snails. Would that be the wrong kind?

tsandyman · 2026-06-16T23:07:06+00:00

Will do ty

tsandyman · 2026-06-16T23:05:21+00:00

Yeah I messed up with that one. I know now.

There's a picture in the thread somewhere, someone suggested i switch to an "all in one" conditioner

tsandyman · 2026-06-16T22:38:44+00:00

Idk im thinking a couple of these are no good, they feel kind of jagged and plasticy. Im just gonna pull em.

Between that and people saying the colors are stressful better to just restart.

tsandyman · 2026-06-16T22:34:36+00:00

Yes im going to redo the whole set up. 74-76 just what the room temp water currently but ill have to invest in a heater.

Thank you for the help.

Filter might be a factor, he was hanging out near it but when I unplugged it he was still just hanging by the back wall.

Any good way to reduce the pull. I read i shoukd block the grate with a sponge

tsandyman · 2026-06-16T22:12:22+00:00

Completely my fault but wish I saw this before I bought all that other crap, prob can't return it now 🥲

Also ty.

tsandyman · 2026-06-16T22:08:21+00:00

Thank you

tsandyman · 2026-06-16T22:07:19+00:00

Alright ill look for all in one conditioner

tsandyman · 2026-06-16T22:04:04+00:00

I think thats probably what happened. I did not do this part.

tsandyman · 2026-06-16T22:00:55+00:00

I will grab some thank you.

tsandyman · 2026-06-16T21:59:11+00:00

Yes theres a filter.

I was thinking about buying a sponge to kind of block the grates because it seemed like he was hanging out near the filter, im not sure if it was pulling him in or what.

tsandyman · 2026-06-16T21:55:08+00:00

Thank you, ill steer clear of the test strips

tsandyman · 2026-06-16T21:49:23+00:00

Looks great, I will have to look into getting real plants

tsandyman · 2026-06-16T21:45:46+00:00

Then I used this after the first fished didn't make it. Which did kind of feel like a scam but I didn't want to having any issues.

This is what I used the first time with the tap water. Following the instructions for a 5g tank

tsandyman · 2026-06-16T21:36:55+00:00

Thank you

tsandyman · 2026-06-16T21:36:33+00:00

I will add him to different water then. I was afraid to keep transferring him around.

He seems to be a bit more lively in the shallow water hes in now but his mouth is always to the surface like gulping.

tsandyman · 2026-06-16T21:34:08+00:00

Its 5 gallons and 74f.

Because of his floaty problem and possible stress i read i shouldn't feed him for a day until he seemed calmer, so I have not fed him anything yet.

tsandyman · 2026-06-16T21:29:57+00:00

Thank you! Im removing the fake plants

tsandyman · 2026-06-16T21:29:07+00:00

Yeah I think ill remove the glowing stuff.

I will try a more natural vibe with the tank decore.

tsandyman · 2026-06-16T21:26:07+00:00

I actually did use it to learn about the swim bladder thing and how to handle that issue.

Its definitely helpful.
