I've got some really good spiky moss growing on in my breeder tanks, some on stones, some just sitting in the tank, it's growing great, nice and green. I removed some, divided it and put on stones...it's gone a golden brown colour. I think its dead. Does it ever revive or should I just get rid?

I have some little offsets on java fern leaves I want to propagate for my guppy breeder tanks. I want to grow them on a bit before putting them in their home tank. I'm torn between just attaching them to little rocks and growing them that way...or something I saw on you tube. They took the...

I put dry unwashed sand in a small pop bottle 3/4 full. In the tank you want it in, put the bottle under water to fill to brim, no bubbles. Then tip the bottle up and pour the sand where you want it, quickly lifting the bottle out when the sand has gone and not letting the dirty water out in...

I have 4 breeder tanks, two have a thin layer of black limpopo sand. Two are bare bottom. The aforementioned sand is good as the fry are invisible against it, decreasing predation. The other two bare tanks look messy, one that has least detritus on it has built up a biofilm on the bottom. I...

Yes 5 or 6 days. I can make up some more. Got a trip coming up though, need to give it some more thought.

Trying Esha NDX which is levamisole. They have been wormed before, but trying a different wormer.

They have been back in their old tank for well over a week now. No illness or death, but two fish, both female, have had white stringy poop. Don't appear ill. I am puzzled.

One of those drip acclimatising lines dripping water and moina into tank. Just getting settings right.

It's guppy fry which are a decent size at the moment. I had also wondered about using a mixture of decapsulated brine shrimp eggs and powdered fry food on an auto feeder.

something like this. I had seen that video a while ago, but he was just resetting it twice a day. Thanks, I will look at it again.

So I would need to estimate the liquid volume to be dispensed and not fill the aquarium right up. I'm not drilling the tanks, lol.

I will see how they work.

This is what I thought of doing.

Now I have moina, I popped them in a little tank with some yeasty water. Do they need an airline? I wonder if I could gradually drip them into the tank whilst I'm away, sort of intravenous infusion style?

I keep thinking there must be a way to slowly drip moina or brine shrimp into my growing on tank whilst I'm away. I'm picturing an intravenous infusion like you see in hospital, but dripping live food in over say 7 days. Is it a crazy idea? I'm not one of those lucky people that have friends...
