A little introduction for the #aquarists of the Fediverse (which seems to be a very small community)This is The Seas :seas:, my 125-litre freshwater #aquarium, home to platies, panda corys, honey gouramis, guppies, & cherry shrimp. The neon tetra in the photo were recently rehomed.I enjoy the #fishkeeping itself, but have also spent a perhaps disproportionate amount of time on water chemistry, mathematical modelling & aquarium automation with Home Assistant.#Fishtodon@aquarium@aquariums

Still cycling. Excited to add fish. Thinking of celestial pearl danios.

That's when the "big" overhead lights on my indoor pond turn off, and only the much dimmer underwater light stays on.

a great space to relax.

I'm curious at taking care of fish. I am a terribly irresponsible person, but I feel if I have a food self cleaning and self cleaning tank, I can take care pretty easily with enough alarms to remind me.

Which equipment, fish, and setup do I need for what I'm aiming to do?

Let me know in the comments!

I like anemones just because they're so fascinating. Clownfish are beautiful and omg hermit crabs are adorable

5 mystery snails, bristlenose, 2x honey gourami.

Or a Patat, as we call them.

Devils Thorn snails (Faunus ater)

I moved Tina from the big community tank downstairs up to her very own 10 gallon tank. She was being harassed by the big male pearl gourami. So far, she's been exploring her tank and picking off scuds.

I think I'm using that slang term correctly 😅

I think white cloud mountain minnows are underrated. I really like this little things y'all.

Y'all! I have a dang flower in one of my 20 longs. I'm shocked. This tank is running fine. Animals seems healthy but I'm not really doing anything special. This makes me feel like this tank is exactly dialed in though if this plant is so happy it wants to flower! I think it's some sort of Buce but I've bought many randoms from /r/AquaSwap.

Hello. I'm pretty new to keeping plecos and this lil guys in our big community tank. I'm unsure if he's getting enough food. I've read the descriptions on how to tell and it seems to boil down 'is it skinny'. Sold to me as a Super Red Bristlenose Pleco from an individual.

Does my pleco look skinny/under fed? What's your favorite food for you pleco?

The city has asked us to try to conserve water because of drought conditions. My little 20 gallon tanks are whatever but if I do a 50% water change for the 75, well that's like 30 gallons of water.

Am I silly to be thinking about this? Like, I'm not really too worried about the fish. That tank is very solid and has a strong BB community (fx4).

Would you skip for a month or two? Or is 30 gallons a month not that much?
