I'm getting ready to go on a trip and my cousin's going to be caring for my ducks while I'm gone, she's only going to be stopping by twice a day to check everyone's food and water so no one's going to be replacing their water as frequently as I usually do, so I'm curious to know what you guys do to make sure you're ducks have good clean water all day or is it even possible?
Someone gave me two Baby Comet goldfish, I do have a large tank it's about 75 gallon stock tank, but currently they are less than an inch long so I was wondering if I could keep them in a 10 gallon with frequent water changes just until they're a hair bigger? I am aware that eventually even the 75 won't be big enough, I am fully prepared to move them into a 1,000 gallon stock tank, I would just like to be able to find them once I do, plus they would probably get snatched up by the existing fish in there at the moment, like I said it's just two they're less than an inch long and the 10 gallon has strong enough filtration for a 55
It's a bit cloudy because it hasn't settled fully settled yet, I had went to pick up a 10 gallon tank that had some live plants in it someone gave me, when I got it home there was a betta fish and two zebra danios in there, apparently they haven't been seen in like 6 months because the original owners forgot about them somehow they were still alive in little over an inch of sloppy kind of thick water, this is what I set up for them the Sponge Filter I put in it was already cycled along with the substrate, this isn't the first time I've done a fish in cycle and this is not the first time I've had these kinds of fish, just currently curious to know what you think about my setup I plan to get some more plants, I did have mono grass but it died for some reason and I also had a second Amazon sword that died as well, currently what's in it is for lucky bamboo plants they used to be bigger but I trimmed them down a bit, once the three bits that I trimmed grow roots I'm going to stick them back in the tank and then I also have in the Little Flower Pot a little bit of java moss with hopefully a viable Amazon sword Sprout or whatever you call it, and then something that came off of that funny looking Moss ball thing in there, not sure what it is it was one of those random plants that was in the tank I got with the fish, I do have a bunch more Java moss I just couldn't figure out how to place it in there right now and make it look good, I think I'm going to try to attach it to some wood and make a little bonsai tree to go in there possibly, I may possibly just make a guppy tank with it not sure yet, there's also like a microscopic amount of duckweed in the tank that I hope makes it, for some reason most of my duckweed died so I'm hoping it revives because I really love it, let me know if I should get some more zebra danios and put in this tank with the better or should I set them up their own tank of course still getting them some friends and give the better a different kind of tank mate
It's been a long time since I've had guppies, I really love them but unfortunately the person that was supposed to be taken care of them while I was on a trip did not make sure my heater was plugged up, I even left clear instructions to check it that they didn't and it got really cold in the house and unfortunately only one made it, and sadly that one died about a week after for an unknown reason so it's been awhile since I've had them, the setup I originally had was a 10 gallon with a bit of gravel in the bottom and a bunch of duckweed and java moss, I'd like to set up something that does really look good this time but still provides hiding places for babies
Could this be worms? Visually nothing's wrong but he's just been scratching his butt a lot recently, I'm wondering if it's not worms but I figured I would come on here and ask first, I'm not seeing any signs of mites or anything like that and it's only his butt that he's really itchy at
I have a almost 8 week old Alpine buckling, and a soon-to-be 1 year old La Mancha weather who has only been a weather for about a month now, I know they cannot be introduced right now due to the size difference, I'm just curious to know when would be the best time to introduce them, I've been walking my buckling past the fence so they can get used to seeing each other, I haven't let them actually touch through the fence yet, but I want them to be used to each other before they ever meet without any barricade, so when would be the best time to introduce? Both have horns
