Surprised no one had responded to this yet.. Did you get the cycle to balance itself out then?

If Dr. Who ever comes back as a talking fish I am going to lose it lol. Neat Tardis, looks like your space and time travelling pleco is starting to grow his peach fuzz - so fun to observe over time. He'll be rocking a Tom Selleck before long.

Haha, it took me a minute to find him, crafty fella

I see.. so, if they did lay eggs - can I move them? You guys ever used those floating fry bins or the mesh containers with suction cups? They're pretty cheap.. if it happens, maybe I could move any eggs to something like that and toss in some java moss to improve their odds? Never bred fish...

Just 1 nerite snail from a friends tank that moved. The substrate is 200ppm calcium, and I have some cuttle bone in there too (soft for a nerite, but I didnt have anything else cycled yet). We plan on moving him to the 8.5 gallon soon where the water is harder (cycling). So as long as I can...

Since there were a bunch of threads popping up about people finding random cory eggs over the last month, I started keeping an even closer eye on my pygmy corys over the last couple of weeks. One of my females has gotten more and more round (not bloating), and she keeps cleaning the larger...

Right?? Wildlife is wild lol. We did run into a full-grown black bear one time, but it turns out even fully grown and standing up it was maybe like 4-5 ft tall (adorable) - we scared him more than he scared us and he took off. They're little fellas. Notice though, the grey ones are mostly dead...

Yeah they advise to just avoid them (and elk especially) as they can get territorial - especially towards dogs. We were both hunched over the kayaks packing things in, and an older couple fishing on the shore shouted at us to turn around, and when we did this dopey goof was strolling right at...

Haha yeah, black bears arent too uncommon, same with mtn lions. There's a lot of elk, and some moose too. Sometimes you can find otters, and there are always beavers and trout visible from shorelines. Here is a few month old moose that interrupted us (and probably a dozen people fishing the...

So I was going through some pics on the camera and came across a bunch of when my g/f and I went to Grand Lake (town name) for a few nights. This was in June 2020, before the fires. The area west and north of Grand Lake caught fire (known as the East Troublesome Fire). For those few days, we...

That's a really good point too, overfeeding makes them overpopulate. Remove as many egg clutches as you can find during maintenance too - bladder snails lay a clutch of clear gel and you'll see the eggs in them (ranging from clear with a brown dot to foggy white colored, the more solid white...

Aah I would love to have a bunny again, when I was little my grandma had a floppy eared bunny that loved attention and it was adored. I had never heard of the mini rex but I totally believe they're the softest though lol, he looks so plush!?!

Oh awesome! Was one thing to read about this in chat the other day, whole different ballpark now that I can see what you were discussing! That's too cool.

The snow really slowed the growth, we have more on the way next week if the forecast holds. It was a quiet weekend for the fires as they slowly smolder themselves out. @Silvermist80 how are things going with your tanks? Were you able to work things out? Just curious. Hope you and your loved...

Oh, they're still burning but it's a lot more calm - we got a bunch of snow last week and that pretty well stopped/slowed the fires from growing anymore, so now they're just kind of smoldering themselves away. Think there's more snow coming next week, hopefully it'll smother the rest out. *Edit...
