Black Bean Soup recipe I got from Jacques Pepin off TikTok :) Made my Colombian wife happy. Interesting thing in the video- Jacques shows a way to serve the soup with banana. My wife eats a lot of soups with banana. I always found that odd, but it's a Latin thing. Jacques' wife is Cuban...

Are there places like this in the US? Lids are expensive- would be great to just get a sheet of acrylic cut...

I like the AIO filter on the Fluval Flex. I wouldn't buy a tank with built in filter anymore, but that one turned out to be good, so I got lucky.

love the license plate!

This is the one I was looking for LOL. Now I'm eyeballing my wife when she heads downstairs....

Hey everyone- I bought 8 German Rams and I swear every one of them is female. That can't be true...maybe it can...I'm not sure. They're pretty young, so I'll wait a while to see how they develop. One died about 2 weeks after getting the tank, so I'm down to 7. I have 2 in another 10 gallon...

That sounds like black beard algae to me. I fight it constantly. The only thing I've found to effectively kill it is Hydrogen Peroxide, dosed locally using a pipette. I do it when I change water. I dose it while the water is low, let the tank sit with no flow for 15 minutes (you'll see tons...

I have 2 upstairs- one behind the TV and one in the dining room. When I'm watching the Falcons and can't take it, I turn around and watch the tank in the den behind the TV. It's the big one (75 gal) and I can usually see the game in the reflection of the glass, so I can keep up with the...

I think if I used water from the creek behind my place everything would die in hours LOL.

they sure do- I was very surprised at how many lived - I had heard they were prolific breeders, but dadgum! Rabbits don't hold a candle to them

Love this tank- interesting seeing how you put it all together.

gorgeous swords!!!

Here is my tank just over 2 years on. I love it! Some interesting tidbits: - I started with 6 kribensis- put 2 caves in there for them to breed in (thinking other fish would eat the babies), now have 15-20. I sold some at the club, but they're hard to catch. I removed the caves, though-...

Welcome to the forum! I have found this forum to be the most consistently helpful and accurate information on fish-keeping anywhere. There is a ton of info out there and often you can find folks saying completely opposite things with complete confidence that they are right. It can get...

Sure looks like a Clown Loach to me!!
