They are very orange!~ :lol: They "fit" well in the tank as well.

if they haven't been in the water for ages they go white on the shell. but keep an eye out for known deficiency diseases. yours look pretty happy.

well its not ludwigia helminthorrhiza then :lol:

does it have weird puffy white things near the nodes"?

do a water change, add some salt and stress coat and leave him be. if possible, keep him in a different tank with new water until your main tank sorts itself out.

cool!

They are checkerboards! They had blood worms today, tomorrow I'll renew my supplies of colour bits. Fish keeping is so much fun when the going is good.

could you take a pic of your staghorn algae?

So a while ago, Ron (discusguru) promised me some discus, for free might I add; and they arrived this morning! :bounce: So thanks so much Ron!

LOL no. the 4ft ones are 54w x2 tubes HO 2ft ones are 24W x2 HO 3ft ones are 36W X2 HO

Don't discount the 405 too fast either. The parts on an eheim are a total killer. To get rid of the green tubing you need to get an expansion set. I had to replace the "aquastop" / flow controller/stopper on my 2028... $60 later...

They are better. more flow etc. the eheim core design is the same, so the amount of media you can put in there is also relatively the same, except in the heater models where you have to leave the bottom free, and in the other ones like the 2028, you can put something in the last layer (under the last basket). I use that space for nitra zorb or something like that... I have both the fluval 405, and the 2028 and have tested dozens and dozens of other filters (eheim and fluval), and the ones I have are the ones I would keep purchasing in the future. also, with the thermo filters, you need to adjust the thermostat on the heater and read the temp on the tank. meaning there is no 28 degree setting for example. you turn the knob, wait for a few hours and then tweak the temp as needed. only the 2326+ come with digital temp controllers, but by the time you shed out that sort of money you are better off buying a 2028 and a 2215 or something like that.

Actually Double income, no kids. I have 2 jobs. Definitely not married! I'm only 22!

I'd go for an eheim 2028 or similar. Or a fluval 405.

I assume the size down is much cheaper?

its high output, and will be more than sufficent.

maybe keep her as a pet then? something new for the park?

i'd be growing it before I bring out the garlic and butter. :lol: :oops:

That's a great video! your choice of plants is really good too.

sooo tempted ahahaha. it would help pay off my student loan. :lol:

how big is it?

well there's an idea! :lol:

its a bidding war now. I do not think she should be selling that, and im surprised what people are willing to pay for it!!! next time a fish dies, im selling its dead body.

ones without brains? :lol:
