Re: Video of my last remaining tank

Hmm, kind of sad to see as my first post after being away for so long. But on the bright side, things change and you will always come back around to wanting more tanks in the future. I went from 5 tanks to one, lost some otos but the rest seem happy. The other tanks are now terrariums for orchids. W...

Re: maidenhair fern - how to keep? alive?

I keep my ferns in the bathroom. Seem to like it there, low light, high humidity. Also you can place a tray of water with pebbles in it to set the pot on. Don't let the plant pot touch the water, hence the pebbles. Keeps a nice cone of humidity around the plant. If you're worried about it drying out...

Re: English is a crazy language

If you say "make the bed", do you put sheets and pillows on it or get out the wood and hammer?

Depends on the language.

Shut the light, turn out the light, put the light out, turn off the light. Same meaning in four different lingos.

Got any others like those?

Re: Farlowella

Glad Phil was saved! Here's two more to warn about, both fish were saved. Coconuts with holes in the end - Twigs ( Farlowella vittata ) fit right into the little holes but can't back out. Mini plant pots sold with aquarium plants. If your plant gets pushed out of the pot, many corys will fit through...

Re: Year end wrap up, how was it?

That sounds like a cheery way to finish the year. I'll have to follow your progress in the cory section. Maybe it will inspire me to redo my cory tank too, it's looking a little overgrown atm. Comfy for them but I really miss watching them.

Here's wishing any and all good health to you and your fish.
