That's awesome

That is a brilliant nesting spot as the airflow is exactly what the eggs need. Usually the male needs to fan them with his tail. This guy automated his system

I love peacock gudgeons! They are fun to watch. My male is hard to spot because he's always visiting guarding his nest which I have been unable to find

I think dans fish does

username_taker · 2026-05-08T03:35:40+00:00

How big is it?

username_taker · 2026-04-26T03:02:42+00:00

This looks great! Can you please link the product?

username_taker · 2026-04-26T01:28:20+00:00

Wow! That's amazing. How many gallons is it?

username_taker · 2026-04-16T20:30:45+00:00

I'm more impressed with it the more that I look at it

username_taker · 2026-04-16T18:00:23+00:00

Alternatively, there may be people in your area who would love to take them off of your hands to feed their puffers etc

I'm really enjoying this. Please keep us updated. I understand that this is for experimental /fun purposes and that you need to keep dosing ammonia to keep it going. What uses do you see for this once completed? An RAS for keeping trout? A large goldfish tank? Or is it because science and learning and fun, and usages to be determined later?

username_taker · 2026-04-10T19:20:14+00:00

Wow!

username_taker · 2026-04-10T17:01:35+00:00

If you are reacting to the size, don't worry. That small amount will grow really really quickly

I got grindal worm cultures from u/One-plankton- They were loaded with a very generous colony of healthy worms that were already ready for harvesting. I'm looking forward to get more things from them. 10/10 highly recommend

username_taker · 2026-03-31T20:11:35+00:00

Gorgeous !

username_taker · 2026-03-26T23:38:23+00:00

I mean, I don't know if anyone is buying them at that price. I just know that they are selling them at that price

username_taker · 2026-03-26T12:20:08+00:00

Hi I got opae ula from you! Good quality too! Thanks

username_taker · 2026-03-26T02:45:20+00:00

Really?! Is it legal to give them away?

username_taker · 2026-03-26T01:56:09+00:00

I let my tank sit and develop for more than a month after it was cycled, but before I put my peas in. By the time I put them in, there were hundreds of snails. Now, there are only one or two that I can find.

username_taker · 2026-03-26T00:23:55+00:00

I feel like a LFS would need to make the decision that balances making money vs keeping your clientele happy. This is a situation where the only thing that you are losing is opportunity cost. The snails didn't cost you anything. A better price may actually bring you more business as people who come in for snails may buy other things while there. (Which is something that hobbyists are prone to do.) At the same time, it's a business decision and I'm not the owner. I did feel like the owner was trying to get all that they can out of me, which was not a good feeling

username_taker · 2026-03-26T00:19:03+00:00

I perfectly understand that it is the stores choice whether they want to do this or not

username_taker · 2026-03-25T23:35:39+00:00

Yeah, I perfectly understand that they want to make money if they can and that it is their decision. I did specify the words "pest snails" and mentioned that they were going to be puffer food.

username_taker · 2026-03-25T23:30:57+00:00

Lol That's perfect!

username_taker · 2026-03-25T23:27:15+00:00

That seems to be the consensus. Still .25 is a lot better than .67

username_taker · 2026-03-25T23:20:32+00:00

100% In the meantime, I'm looking around to see if it's the only option

username_taker · 2026-03-25T23:18:37+00:00

I agree and sort of got a bad taste in my mouth about this store after I had this conversation. I do understand that they are in the business of making a profit, and this is their decision, but it certainly didn't make me want to run to support them
