I took my pothos down off of my very high shelf to move something and found this! Very cool and I've never seen it before. Since I've gotten into aquariums my room has been very humid and I've gotten a lot more fungi species in my plants.
Sorry the water is so murky right now- I added some more aqua soil which muddied it up a bit.
After posting my first try on this 100 gallon I got a lot of feedback to redistribute the rocks and add a really large piece of driftwood/glue together smaller pieces that would arch over the center of the tank. I need to get some more plants (and probably a better light) to fill out the back and foreground but this is what I have so far.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I'm also looking for plant recommendations if you have any :) I'm feeling a lot more satisfied with how it's looking and I'm excited for everything to grow in and to keep adding to it.
These were the clearest pictures I've been able to get, sorry haha.
Several of my corys have sunken stomachs like this, and I've mostly noticed them the past few weeks. I've had two unexpected deaths a week or two ago but they have overall seemed to be a bit less active. I feed repashy soilent green and frozen bloodworms/sinking catfish pellets every other day, and they eat it well, so there's no way it's from underfeeding.
Any chance it's internal parasites? What should my treatment plan be?
I've been a bit worried about this guy since moving him over from a 55 to a 110. He seemed pretty stressed the first couple days (the nitrates were around 20-30ppm but after a few days of 50% water changes those have dropped to 0), and he wasn't eating nearly as much as he usually did.
Appetite seems to have picked back up and he's back to his normal coloring- he was quite splotchy for a bit. But, he's been doing the behavior exhibited in the video a LOT. I don't see him actually sucking on the glass much and it has me worried. Is there a chance this is an indication of low dissolved oxygen in the water? Or some other stressor?
The tank is still relatively new, ~2 months old, so the plants aren't particularly dense and I'm worried the two sponge filters aren't enough to keep the dissolved oxygen up.
This little guy always flares up so nice and I love it. He's definitely one of my best looking fish!
