Devils Thorn snails (Faunus ater)

I moved Tina from the big community tank downstairs up to her very own 10 gallon tank. She was being harassed by the big male pearl gourami. So far, she's been exploring her tank and picking off scuds.

I think I'm using that slang term correctly 😅

I think white cloud mountain minnows are underrated. I really like this little things y'all.

Y'all! I have a dang flower in one of my 20 longs. I'm shocked. This tank is running fine. Animals seems healthy but I'm not really doing anything special. This makes me feel like this tank is exactly dialed in though if this plant is so happy it wants to flower! I think it's some sort of Buce but I've bought many randoms from /r/AquaSwap.

Hello. I'm pretty new to keeping plecos and this lil guys in our big community tank. I'm unsure if he's getting enough food. I've read the descriptions on how to tell and it seems to boil down 'is it skinny'. Sold to me as a Super Red Bristlenose Pleco from an individual.

Does my pleco look skinny/under fed? What's your favorite food for you pleco?

The city has asked us to try to conserve water because of drought conditions. My little 20 gallon tanks are whatever but if I do a 50% water change for the 75, well that's like 30 gallons of water.

Am I silly to be thinking about this? Like, I'm not really too worried about the fish. That tank is very solid and has a strong BB community (fx4).

Would you skip for a month or two? Or is 30 gallons a month not that much?

They grow up so fast 🥹

3 weeks old and 1 week old!

I am just a proud papa is all.

It’s a UNS 45U, with an Oase 100 thermo and a Chihiros WRGB Slim. CO2, and aquasoil in a mound under the rocks. There’s an open area behind and under the stacked rock, making a nice little hide.

So far I am liking the poppy pipe style, it’s my first time using it. And slowly I’m getting diatoms and snails, usual early tank stuff.

Lemme know your thoughts :)

Have anyone dealt with this store AquaticMotiv? I placed a plant order with priority shipping and nothing has shipped in a week. No answer to my emails or messages on the website. Are they a rip off?
