    Wow, such a fascinating tour! I am hoping to get some CPDs further down the track as I lost all of mine in a catastrophic tank leak a couple of years ago, which has taken me some time to get over. Also lost were a school of Chilli Rasboras. But I am hooked again! So planning, planning, planning … thank you for helping to enthuse me again.

    I've been constantly hounded that you need to have axolotls at no more 18°C and you absolutely need a chiller on their setup (Reddit is partly to blame) I'm glad to see someone with more realistic solutions for their temperature requirements.

    I thoroughly enjoyed seeing your fish room. You have beautiful fish and tanks. What are you feeding your African Butterfly Fish?? There was a shortage of crickets in my area and I didn't know what else to try. I was also feeding bloodworms, but once they started to sink the butterflies don't eat them. I need more food options. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    @dellseasandoval8187 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi again Blake I whoever might be able to answer this for me. I have another question about my decor. I have 4 eight gallant aquariums & my question is can I use some cheap china rubbish toys (because they have sentimental value to me) & also because there’s no paint chipping off. It’s just the colour of the plastic.
    My question is regarding this plastic is it in notes like when people glue stuff to rocks or wood such as plants with superglue?
    Another question would be because there are these little hollow segments at the bottoms of these toys does that increase the healthy bacteria considering I have dirted cold water 💦 tanks?

    How are you going Blake? I decided on 4 eight gallon dirted tanks. I am relying on the advice from Father Fish. I hope to hear from you Blake because I would be interested in future purchases from yourself of fish & potentially I could separate a tank for these cute little crabs 🦀. I have a few questions for you or anyone that is versed in being able to answer them.
    Are the Darwin little freshwater crabs 🦀 you mentioned able to handle cold water 💦 because I also decided on cold water 💦 tanks only. Is a piece of wood 🪵 enough for the crab 🦀 good enough to get on to get out of water 💦 plus how many little of those Darwin crabs that you mentioned can I have in an 8 gallon tank?
    Do you have any dirted tanks Blake?

    I've just got a dozen goyder river rainbows in my tank and noticed yours have white lumps on their lips and so do 2 of mine. Do you have any idea what that is on yours and possibly mine. What do you do to treat or just leave them be?
