      Hello, do you think that full grown synodontis eupterus are compatible with mbu?

      Hey Corry. Long time fan. First time messaging. Hope you see this. I was wondering if outdoor weather. Like winter is coming and or is here. Can effect cyanobacteria and algae to bloom in our tanks. I've just noticed over the last few years people always seem to be complaining about algae this time a year

      You and Murphy have so totally encouraged me to get a fresh water puffer fish. Lol I can not have a large tank so a pea puffer was the best fit for me. Lol but still. I see why ppl love puffers. They really are just like dogs.

    Murphy is a classic example of a gentle giant 💗💗💗
    This video gives me a clear idea that I can work on escaping my 50-gallon tank even with the colony of whiptails I have inside. Other than if you suggest for me to take them out but I do not want to stress in catching them I just need to put sand and work on removing potted plants and grow them directly to the substrate I am putting in the tank.

  • @mattkinsella9856

    The gardner’s killifish I raised for eggs are just like this, and I just love them so much for it! It really is special when I fish wants to actively interact with you and shows such a level of trust. My fish are constantly nipping and biting my hands and trying to swim between my fingers even if the gap between them has like a millimeter of water to swim through. Even when I try to scare them off when I’m holding an algae wafer or something and flick my fingers at them or touch/poke/swipe their bodies to get them to go away, they swim back immediately without any fear. The most friendly ones I can easily just pick them up and take them out of the water within a couple seconds and they’ll still be swimming right back after lol. Love the little guys, I feel so bad when I have to treat them for disease or anything since I feel like I’m betraying their trust by catching and confining them... but I want them to be as healthy and happy as can be
