Very interesting discussion. For several years, I never vacuumed so deep my substrate. Only recently have I started to do this. For now, my main issue is some kind of filamentous algae. I could do a good sand vacuuming; however, despite several algae over my Elodea densa, there are plenty of...

It seems that my 16-year-old Satellite AS-878 sound is not working so well anymore... the guys who used to repair it, they do not repair it anymore... a new sound system for my computer would be extremely expensive, so I am simply using my JBL Go 4 for now. I think about Edifier X100B RMS 15W...

No, although I have dehydrated BSFL. It seems that he likes to eat. But he is terribly selective; he spits if the particle is not small enough. I suppose that he only did not spit when fed with live brine shrimp that I cultivate (talking about that, it seems that my brine shrimp culture is doing...

Well, it seems that my Trichogaster chuna likes to spit water. The reason? I do not know. Now he is getting the aquarium's front wet as well as some sections around the tank on the surface from the... bookcase? Shelf? Also, now it is the green hair algae that is trying to fight my Elodea...

I have never seen snow in my entire life. It was always something that fascinated me about American and Canadian animated series I used to watch on a free-to-air television network during my childhood. In case of the ice, I have seen some hail that occurred here, but this is not so common in...

Yesterday I had decided to "break the taboo": going alone to a Carnival event here in Mococa ("Carna Bajas" in "Bajas Restaurante & Bar"). As a bachelor (and I am not referring to my Biology degree), I simply went anyway. I have reserved a table for two people. Who knows? Maybe a soul could...

This may be true, but this does not work. I already heard biologists complaining about that, including the ones who care about protecting the environment. While Europeans already sell Paracheirodon axelrodi captivity-bred and with value-added, here they remain collecting the same fish and...

Grass clippings are good, indeed. My red wigglers love it when I put. GaryE, what interesting. Is there Malaria where you live? Here, it is common to have in Amazon. I do not know if there had any case of Malaria in Southeastern Brazil. For the place, I suppose you are going to catch fish from...

Oh, okay, now I am the one who forgot... had I asked you about? I am sorry, I really forgot. That is good. We make pizza at home here, thanks to the terrible shrinkflation in the pizzerias. Anyway, okay, so many days reflecting. New Year's Eve, just me and mommy. I am not the one who thinks...

I prefer black soldier fly larvae. I used to cultivate them, and now, since is summer here, I can get lots and lots of BSFL with just some kitchen scraps in a shaded area inside any container. However, some animals (there are reptiles that apparently live in the warehouse...) started spreading...

That is the first Christmas without my beloved Constantino (Betta splendens)... However, Johann is here. I decided to use a hammer to break Poytara Betta into smaller pieces and... apparently, he is spitting less than before, accepting more of the food. Maybe the issue was granulometry? He...

It seems that this time my brine shrimp culture is going fine, once again... I'm sorry, no English subtitles. I'm trying to learn German in Duolingo, too (I may have already said that, but anyway...). My beloved Johann (Trichogaster chuna) is so picky (in Portuguese, I would say something...

Happy Birthday! It appears that my Artemia franciscana culture is thriving this time. These nauplii nowadays are now older... testing my new tripod. There is a slight bad smell, however. It may be related to hydrogen sulfide which are produced by some bacteria... including the ones from my...
