My fancy guppies had babies!
So i set this home up for them...all of the plants are from my 40gal...i wanted lots of hiding places so i opted for a nature style setup.  they love it in there! |

thats my homemade "dripper" to acclimate fish & shrimp and dose medics and adjust pH and etc etc...
it just has a valve attached to some airline tubing, pushed through a hole in the bottle, using a glue gun only on the outside of the bottle to secure it.... it is great because you can adjust how fast the 'drip' can be...anything from 1 drop per second to a little stream.... |

Actually that is a neat contraption. I use gallon milk jugs for my Saltwater tanks to do Kalk Drips but I guess I never thought aobut acclimation bottles. I use an airline and tie knots in it.
I do like that 5 gal. Definatly doing something right. I will learn to turn my black thumb green. Ray

Yeah that loach looks like a stingray when its up against the glass....and its eating my algae off the glass! i can see little teeth marks.
 hey i had a black thumb in the beginning too...no big deal. it gets easier...ive actually noticed that when i dont interfere with an established tank everything just works. |

Are these real?

One day... I will have Cabomba growing as nice as yours
Can you share the water conditions that you keep Chocolate Gouramies in? I find them extremely attractive, but heard they need soft & acidic water which has kept me away from them so far.

Yv1: could you post a pic and little explanation in the DIY section for your fish acclimator. I like the idea of acclimating the fish without standing over the tank for a prolonged period of time. If you can show how you regulate the drip, that would be helpful.

Hey everyone, sorry havent been browsing the forum! Busy......
anyways to answer everyone's quesitons.... Chocolate Gouramis: I will have to get back to you on that, I ran out of testing supplies  Like I said, I think my tank had become extremely established and self sustaining because I havent tested the water in over a month and everything is fine. But once I get my hands on a new test kit i will let you know....Fish Dripper Thing..Ill post up in DIY! |
