Caught my foxface finally acting like a foxface and eating tank algae. So that's kinda cool. I mean, he's stuck in the running because he's one of the three fish I've had since I decided to get into this hobby, what? Three years ago. Miss my puffer but you get what you get and you don't throw a fit, as we tell the children in these parts. .

Hoping to make a trip next week to the good lfs. I have about 7 noticeable aiptaisia in the 53. I'd like to get rid of them. I also am of the opinion the aiptaisia you are aware of in your system is better than an unknown. So idk. I'm not under the delusion that ill be able to completely eradicate them in the frag system or the 120. But. I'd like to clear my best rock.

A certain @F i s h y told me said lfs has the good peppermint. If they don't work I suppose it's a good excuse to get a filefish. We'll see what happens

Aiptasia Kryptonite?

My tank is/was full of Aiptasia. The substrate is covered not as thick as grass, but close enough. Aquascape had it popping up all over. A few weeks to a month ago my return pump started sucking in air somewhere and is producing micro bubbles throughout my display tank. Same size bubbles as...

Not sure if there's anything to this yet, but can't hurt!

Were you coming to the swap? It would be a pleasure to meet you.

Yeah, I'm planning on being there. Don't know yet if I'll be buying anything. But I've been meaning to go to the swap the last few years. Hasn't worked out until now.

Thank you! I'll give that a read. Ironically I've now found a few bubbles of bubble algae (been so long I can't remember the scientific name) also finally removed what I suspect was a fire worm I've been after for a while

Anyway. Still got lots of plans. Just dealing with things that are forcing me to take more time than I would like

Her name is Vada, she also goes by Bug. She's 9 weeks and has about doubled in size

She also thinks dog beds are for peasants and much prefers to sleep on my lap or foot..

She looks like she's got some pit in her. Love the name.

Sounds about right. Shelby thinks she's a parrot or something and walks on us, tries to lay on our shoulders, and just doesn't understand personal space rofl.

Rusty sits on us. And tries to walk on us. He doesn't realize he's basically three cinderblocks wrapped in velvet lol.

Idk. I'm the dog equivalent of the archetype "crazy cat lady" so ymmv

She's a Gotti line Blue pit. Mon and Dad were both Fantastic looking, happy, family dogs. She's a spitfire. I'm not to having a puppy. Biggs was already acting old at 5 and lived to almost 13.
