I'm not sure how exactly they multiply. Is it possible? I'm a big fan of how the mama looks so it'd be great to get another.

They grow up so fast 🥹

3 weeks old and 1 week old!

First sincere apologies if this is the wrong community, I don't have lab science friends to ask about this.

Over the last few months my ph probe has been working well, then over a few days it started to drift down to reporting a ph of 2-3 instead of the 6-7 I would expect. There are so many cleaning procedures out there for ph probes, and knowing how to clean them depends on knowing what is causing them to foul.

I tried using generic probe cleaning solution, 0.1M HCL, and even just a light detergent. Nothing has worked so far.

I was reading that black spots on the ceramic could be from sulfides. And this probe is used 24/7 in my aquarium, where I dechlorinate freshly added water with a dechlorinate that I believe uses sodium thiosulfate. Could that be interacting with the probe's silver /silver chloride?

I just got thiourea and I'll be trying to prepare a thiourea/hcl solution.

What else should I try? What else might be causing this kind of fouling/errant results?

He's a good baby fishy, I think just needed some alone time.

They're about six weeks old now.

Using lechuza citrus pon as a substrate as I've heard that citrus doesn't take to LECA well. Wicking up nutrient solution from the reservoir which is being kept fresh by an air stone.

I moved it to this setup from soil because I'm bad about checking for soil moistness, and it lost most of its leaves. But I can refresh the water every week or two in a reservoir no problem.

This picture is a week old and since then there's been even more new leaf growth.

On sale for just $6. I have a bunch but never seen one rest like this before. I guess that’s why people call them peacock “goby” gudgeons!

My green water culture is challenging to study with the microscope but still a lot of fun.

Definitely have a long way to go to get better at my microscopy!

Literally 24 minutes of my gold laser cory just relaxing while other things do (or don't) happen around him.
