As far as shell dwellers, you could do a pair of N. Multifasciatus if you got the lake cichlid water hardener. They do frequently a lot though, in my experience. I have had a continuous colony for several years and they are fun. They much prefer length over depth, though, so the top half of the...

You could do a small group sparkling gourami, maybe. They are a small labyrinth fish, very fun to watch. I find pea puffers very entertaining, they have a lot of personality.

Cool, it is an interesting little thing. He can continue hanging out on the driftwood then. Only ever found the one, so it must not be too quick to spread.

I would definitely never dump them down the drain. All of my aquatium water gets pumped out the window into the bushes. I switched to a powered pump for out water a couple years ago and only use my python for my refills now. The city has enough problems without adding invasive mussels.

Boundava has the right idea. Nano rasbora are pretty nice, and are very small schooling fish. I just got some Strawberry Rasbora and they are fun to watch and starting to color up nicely.

Long time no see! I found an unknown mussel on a driftwood piece that hasn't moved in over 2 years, until today. Background on tank(s). I was tearing down my 20g long and transferring all of my livestock, plants, and decorations into my 29 gallon. The 20g was in rough shape and kinda...

I have lids on almost all of my tanks now, but they used to mostly be open to the air. Duckweed goes crazy with or without, but with a lid I occasionally have problems with my frogbit. Without a lid I also find myself doing a water level top off midweek between water changes. It can take a...

That is actually super cool. Makes me wonder what the original common name for them was.

Well, my LFS doesn't sell them yet, so hopefully I can give them for credit. That is how I pay for all of my frozen fish food anyhow.

Been a while since I have been on the forum, this last year has been rough. Hoping to be a bit more social in the future. I went to Fishtoberfest last weekend and acquired about a dozen Black Chin Livebearers, Girardinus metallicus. I put them in my 40 gallon breeder tank (36L x 16H x 18W). My...
