The old Red 40 chile bag vs the new no artificial dyes bag. You can even see the visible difference in the old bag with the powder in the last picture.

Here are a few pics I took today of the corys. I got Bertha a new friend who is the exact same species as her! By chance I found another male just like her at the same fish store! She immediately began chasing him and now she won't leave his side. Also immediately hit the T pattern hehe

He had a molt a few days ago that seemed to go well. He was walking around seeming fine for a few days, and last night I got these Hikari Sinking Carnivore pellets for my CAE, and figured he might want some, so I gave him a few pellets.

He is in a 5g heavily planted tank with only him and snails. Only one pellet reached him, and the next morning I found him in this state next to the pellet. It seems like he didn't even take more than a single bite off it, now his chest cavity looks like it's butterflying.. Water parameters are great, the tank has been up for many months, and he has been perfectly fine until now. I read online that the carnivore pellets have copper or something which may be toxic to him? But then I searched more and it said that these pellets are great for CPOs because they are high in protein. I'm so confused and I just want him to be okay. I put an airstone in the tank for extra filtration, and I cut the light off. He has moved quite a bit, but every time get gets back up right he falls over again. He's definitely alive and trying. Is there anything I can do to help??

Edit: Now he is jumping around with his tail! Moving a lot more, maybe trying to shake off some of what might be a failed molt? I have a video I'll upload too

Just got this PAL copy of 2 today. Trying to collect all the slipcovers so they line up nice and neat. All I need is the PAL version of Borderlands 1 with the slipcover and Borderlands 4 Super Deluxe

It's food time and everyone aside from a few on the perimeter of the tank came to eat

This bronze is a part of a group I got at the local fish store to school with Bertha, but he doesn't seem very well today. Not very lively, really gray, almost translucent, but his barbels look fine and his fins aren't rotted or tattered. Gills a little red, but not terribly.

Thing is, he's been in the tank for a month or two now, and he goes through these phases the others don't where he will get exactly like this and be lethargic and not interested in anything, then go back to normal next day.

I'm not sure if he is long for this world, but what do you guys think?

EpicQuest Reivial build on Android runs great!

I genuinely didn't expect to see active people, but it's still an alive world! Almost brings a tear to my eye.

I saw my two albinos sitting together after a nice meal :)

The albinos typically get large pouches like this that mysteriously dissappear the next day or two

Ours keep dying no matter what we do. We have them in a 10g with snails, there is a lid now because one or two jumped out, even with the lid, and they never seem to last more than a month.

I felt bad shining the flashlight in her face, but it's interesting to see how they breathe and blink when still.

One of my brochis interrupted at the end lol

A lot of you liked my emeralds in my previous posts, so here is a bunch of pictures of them!

I've had this specific albino that has had a very large pouch that seemingly looks like eggs but could also be food.

I want to say it comes and goes after feeding, but its only this one who's stomach looks that large. Its almost looks dark inside then when she's flat against the glass swimming you can see a slight darker line underneath. She doesn't seem to be swimming weird and loves food. Just curious if it is eggs and if she will ever lay them?

I have a CAE I'd like to post and was wondering if there is a sub dedicated to them?

Edit: I just created r/AlgaeEaters for anyone who is interested!

I always find it funny when the corys throw their entire body in the sand to kick up food
