Good going on the tank! Nothing beats a free tank! As far as stocking with those parameters, I can't help but a little bit biased because these suggestions are fish that I hope to care for one day. Anyway, I think 30 gallons could be a good size for a community tank of sparkling gourami, pygmy...

Thanks for the heads up! Will definitely keep a closer eye on them here on out to look for that. If I see anything, I will have no qualms about trying to gift them to a different home. They seem do be doing okay for now, bolder and not as shy as I thought they'd be considering there's only two...

I know.... I'm thinking that I'm going to need to remove some at this point if I want to put in any new plants (maybe a tiger lotus like yours?).

I will try and remember to post a better picture of all the fish tomorrow once they've been let out of the bag

First off, I'd just like to announce to every one that I am sorry for never keeping up with these threads that I've started. I simply set them up, get to a point where I am happy with the situation, and forget to ever come back and update. So, now that it has been quite awhile since my last...

Well, the local county fair has ended for this year. I entered a crocheted sweater into the teenage needle arts, and entered some photos. I also volunteered at the fair this year, and it was really cool to get to see some of the behind the scenes. I picked up my stuff Sunday, and am only now...

I didn't mean to! Hope it didn't come across as rude, sorry!

Get some plants is what I'd say.

Hahah, please, seriously, no need. I was skipping two pages at a time trying to get through it!!🤣 I'm glad I didn't skip all the pages though, as I did find some very funny stuff and learned that you are a ginger.

On Saturday (not today, I know, sorry) I drove an hour away in order to check an aquarium club's monthly meeting. It was so much fun! This month they did a "Fish Bowl" contest, where members (I'm not a member) who wanted to could bring in their fish for viewing and judging in different classes...

I. Give. Up. There. I said it. I give up trying to binge read the last 300 pages of this thread in order to catch up. I got to almost 200, and I just couldn't pretend to even skim through it anymore! I shamelessly skip to here and will try and dutifully keep up from here on out.

What are your thoughts on the 24-48 hour method of culturing infusoria using just yeast?

Good thoughts! Yes, I am only trying to hatch a little bit right now until I get my technique down. I also thought that maybe the adult barbs could try to eat it, though it may be too small for them. Once the adults are situated in the tank, I plan to set up an infusoria culture using yeast and...

It's been about two weeks since I first set up the diy filter for cycling and bacteria growth, and I've just finished building the false bottom and divider for the spawning 10 gallon tank. I hope to start hatching the brine shrimp today. We'll see how that goes. Next is just to fill up the...
