Re: Terrarium as Aquarium...?

Darn, alright. I was hoping. But I'd rather not have an aquarium explode everywhere, so probably best to do some aquarium hunting!

Re: Terrarium as Aquarium...?

OH! It's a Zilla, not a Zoomed! I thought it sounded wrong when I said Zoomed...

It's the 40 breeder that came with the XL Bearded Dragon Kit.

Thank you!

Re: Terrarium as Aquarium...?

It is silicone sealed. I'd have to test it still, just to be safe. I suppose I can try measuring it. It does have black trim on it like any other terrarium/aquarium. I can probably pop one of the sides off to check though. The tank came with the larger of the two Zoomed Bearded Dragon Kits. So it's ...

Terrarium as Aquarium...?

Hey guys, I'm not sure if anyone here has done this, but worth a shot. I recently had a cory lay eggs, and decided to try to save some of them. I tried a few times but they never hatched. I was pretty sure these ones were. They hatched a week ago and are doing well. There's somewhere between 50-60 o...

Re: Raising Albino/Pepper Cory Fry

I'll keep it in mind! The one I have is a little overkill, but might work if I need it. Their water's about 73-74F right now without the heater. They ate some more, and there's even more of them. More hatched. I thought all the eggs had hatched, but apparently there were still some waiting to come o...

Re: Raising Albino/Pepper Cory Fry

Thanks! a. They're only a few mm. Really tiny! I'll stick with the fry food I bought. All my other fish get a mix of different foods, so I could grind some of those down to try.

Raising Albino/Pepper Cory Fry

I read through the "raising fry" thread, and had a couple more questions. I successfully hatched approx. 30 cory eggs! They hatched some time late last night. I caught my big albino female carrying them around, and after she laid them I moved them to their own small tank. The tank is about...

Re: corydoras and gravel/sand

I've heard sand is preferable as well, though I keep mine in an aquarium with larger round pebbles and they seem to be doing well. Everyone has long barbels and are quite healthy. There's a smooth flat stone in there that they all like to group up and hang out on, but they need to root through the g...

Should I give the cartridges a gentle...

Jungle tanks are always so pretty. Very relaxing to look over. I'd love to set up a fully planted tank one day. But I have a giant Peruvian apple snail who would end up munching it all.
