Me in Reverse posted:How hot does your dorm get that your tank water was 100 degrees F? I could see that happening if enough direct sunlight was hitting the room and tank.

I would be interested in what you come up with. I have cats as well and a small pump laying around that I could repurpose.

I have two fancy guppies in a maternity tank because they're getting ready to download their fry. I had a divider up between them but every time I check on them one or the other would be in the other compartment  I just took it out since they obviously want to chill together.

Checked on the tank this morning and saw one of the guppies was in the process of having fry. Little baby fish in the breeding trap  Edit: I know breeding guppies isn't the hardest thing in the world but this is the first time I've actually seen the babies. I've had 2 pregnancy cycles so far and assume the fry fell prey to either the danios or the filter  When does coloration start to manifest? I'm curious about guppy genetics.

Current project: Bedroom 10 gallon for guppy fry grow-up and place to move some of my boring neons and corys from my 20 gallon in the living room.

I'd imagine it has a healthy colony of bacteria. I'd watch the levels on adding fish though.

Yeah my albino bristlenose has quite a bit or personality and has earned the nickname "Fishtronaut" after he survived a little adventure on the kitchen floor and being batted at by one of my cats. He jumped out of the glass I had him in while I was moving him to a new tank. I know that their behavior is schooling related but I'm fascinated by the social behavior of my guppies. It's like a soap opera  Or a trailer park.

Got an absolutely gorgeous betta from my LFS today that's going to live with a small school of neons and some corys in a 10 gallon I have upstairs.  Him name Jermaine.

My favorite guppy mama dropped her brood last night. Hope I get some interesting looking offspring! (The rest get sent off to my LFS)

Chichevache posted:I woke up this morning and found my lovely betta, Julian, outside of his tank. He's now a dry fish-chip in the garden. I don't know how he got out of the covered tank, but he did. Rest in peace you dumb bastard. I swear Bettas are like the cats of the fish world. Kinda dumb but incorrigible trouble makers.

I wish this guppy would drop the babies she's very obviously about to have.

Neitherman posted:I have a neon tetra that's looked like that for months now. When I first realized it I was excited to get some neon fry but soon realized it seems to be a permanent situation with my fish. She keeps getting bigger. Poor thing kinda floats around like a giant balloon.

It's got a slotted base that goes across the bottom it doesn't show up in the picture I posted. I'm wondering if I should put some stuff in there or at least reposition it in some plants so she feels more comfortable.

Cowslips Warren posted:I'm not sure the guppy is pregnant....I don't see the dark area at the vent you usually get with fry. The gravid spot? Yeah it doesn't really show in the first picture but it's super dark and I can see little eyes. She also got like this last time she dropped a litter. I just hope she isn't aborting or anything

 New digs for my betta. Now with 100% less doubling as a water bowl for my cats. (What the hell was I thinking getting an open-top fish bowl.)

Hi, I have a pretty stable 20 long going and am interested in going up a size. I'm looking for something that has similar proportions and research has suggested that a 30 gallon breeder is what I'm looking for -- possibly a 40 long. Are these common sizes?

I've been working on my partner to get a bigger fish tank and we went to the aquarium store today. Have a 20 long, looked at a 33 long and he just said "well you might as well save a bit more and get this 55 gallon all in one kit". Plan worked
