Im rearranging a tank and im looking to rehome my last few dwarf crays. I have a handful of breeding adults left, and about a clutch worth of babies (theyre about the size of a neo right now). Natural colored crays; grow to about 2". Breed quickly and happily in neocardinia conditions. $5 adults, $2 juvies; $13 priority shipping (heat pk included if needed....but these guys do great in cold weather shipping) Im trying to expand my neo collection again, im interested in yellow neos or blue neos for trade

I use frozen 20 oz soda bottles to regulate temp in my 10g with a small clip fan. Timing on the bottle is what makes all the difference on maintaining my temp. Frozen bottle goes in at 1 -2pm; as the heat us getting bad for the day. The bottle usually melts in about 3hrs....really hot days ill trade it out for a second one, but as long as my tanks iced during the worst heat of the day I dont see a ton of fluctuations

if you could have any exotic animal what would it be?
featherblue replied to aquariumlover10's topic in Lounge
Sugar gliders were an adventure. ....their fruit diet created a regular tank clean ritual or horrible rotten fruit smells. Ferrets are fun but huge thieves....chinchilla was my favorite exotic mammal so far. Super friendly with some encouragement (pikachu would do anything for a raisin); very cuddly Corals are very fun to propagate. ..im still trying to convince the hubby a frag tank could pay for itself in a year just in money I don't spend on new corals;-) but any reef set up (thats dialed in) would count as propagating if u split corals off the ones in the display...its possible to propagate with a nano reef if u try -
Sw is totally worth it! I love my reef. A bit of effort to set up and get running balanced; but well worth tge effort! (And not really more difficult than soft water shrimp)

Shrimp and fish are way easier than coral at TSA...they move (demonstairing theyre alive and my liqiud is the water I claimed)...corals take a bit more explaining but you still get thru. They never measured liquid on me, just wanted to verify it wasnt a no no fluid (and got a laugh at the weirdo with fish n coral in her carry on)

Super glue and super glue gel are tank safe; I even use them in my reef. Id recommend the gel over the traditional formula for gluing in a tank; its what I use for coral fragging. The gel doesnt run; you can put a dot on a rock and it stays a dot even upside down. You still get a white blob, but much smaller than the regular super glue smear The gel also cures to hard quickly back in the tank (and apparently doesnt release anything back into the water....I did some checking before I believed that super glue gel was all that was in the fancy tube of "frag glue")

Easiest way to divide a tank

Its a fusion quite power (whatever was rated for 4-5 ornaments at petco); nothing fancy -
Easiest way to divide a tank
featherblue replied to EbiBunBun's topic in Filtration, lighting and other equipment
I just had glass cut to fit the interior dimensions of the tank, that way the glass was solid and a tight fit. I do run all the sponges off one pump with a gang valve to adjust pressure to each sponge -
Easiest way to divide a tank
featherblue replied to EbiBunBun's topic in Filtration, lighting and other equipment
Im running a divided 20g. Shrimp on each end, with ADFs in the center. Each compartment is water tight and seperate. 1/4" glass siliconed in for the dividers, a sponge filter in each compartment, a heater on each end. With a glass lid I get constant temp, even in the middle, and my frogs deal with any explorers before they can get to the other end -
I also removed all the molt when I saved my orange neos. Mom molted and died, but I saved 15 eggs with 13 survivors to adulthood. I held them the last week they needed in a piece of uplift tube with a nylon over the bottom, and an airline on really low at the bottom of the tube
