Okay guys I might have some of the nicest clients in the world 🥹

09/12/2023

A client of mine set up this beautiful 75g bowfront today. Upgrading from a 20g, she's thrilled for the new tank and for rediscovering herself as "a fish girl" (her words, not mine 😂)

I can't wait to see this thing mature and grow in!

We went from over 180 PPM nitrates to around 20 PPM after 4 water changes with RO. TDS from 4800 to 500.

Thank you so much again to the client that had me out - I hope your little lady guppy recovers soon 🤞

This looks like a mess.... Because it is...

I inherited a fish room last weekend in exchange for dismantling it. I just need to figure out where to start in sorting it 😂

Made the pilgrimage to and met Murphy today!

I'm off getting married in the Pacific Northwest. More fish things to come soon.

Long-fin super-red calico bristlenose plecostomus. Now that's a name 🥴

These babies are growing up wonderfully. They're only now getting pictures because they camouflage too well in the sand I couldn't ever pick them up 😂

06/17/2022

I bought 100 olive nerite snails 😶

I will be away from the fish room for two weeks and know I'll need help keeping the 24 currently running tanks clean.

I expected them to take a couple days to clean the algae I had... It was done in 48 hours 😂

06/15/2022

I've had this big girl over a year. The previous owner claimed she was already 3. 😳

It's not always sunshine and rainbows 😟. Keep all your fingers and toes crossed for our last boy to pull through 💔

My CPD colony had 12 live babies and was going strong... Until three days ago. The colony has crashed. We have one struggling male, one healthy female, and one fry left.

His gills are red, but ammonia and all water tests are clear. No physical signs of sickness either... I'm at a loss as to what happened.

I read CPD's might be sensitive to temperature. They've been moved indoors to 2° cooler temp water (it's all I could do... It's Arizona after all) in hopes they make it. 💔💔💔

More content coming soon!
I'm not going anywhere - I'm building out the PVC overflows for all 30 tanks, finalizing the drain to the outdoor reservoir, and GETTING MARRIED this month.

It's busy around here but posts will be a bit further between for a couple weeks!

Added 6 more 40 gallon breeder tanks today 😂😅

Mystery corydoras - thoughts?
I picked these two up from a local fish shop. Unsure of what they are, but one of them had a busted face (poor dude in the back 😟). Hopefully they do better here

Porch pond fish! The water gets to 95f in the summer 😯
