Is this what I get for having a Skittles Tank?

I have a Skittles Tank with all kinds of neos. They are breeding like crazy, so will they all start looking like this eventually?

I've got nobody to share this with.

I finally have been able to get a little colony going. Just had my first birth if shrimplets and have at least two berried. Exciting times!!

Help with hydraulic brake upgrade.

I am trying to upgrade my brakes and have run into an unexpected issue. The hose is supposed to run internally in the frame, but the hole is too small to fit the end. Do I cut the hose and replace the insert? Seems like the only way, but I am afraid. Is the insert easy to pop back in the hose once I cut it?

I got my Ozark Trail Fs 2 Slalom today!

I'm old (55) and really want to get out on some trails again. I am not sure if I will stick with it, so I'm starting with the best budget bike I could find. I have been watching FBMP for a while and nothing has jumped out at me. Made a few simple mods and can already tell the brakes will have to be next.

This is a female German Blue Ram, right?

So, I recently got two German Blue Rams (supposedly a male and female) and unfortunately I lost one. I would like to replace the one I lost, but want to make sure I don't end up with two males or two females. This is the one that I have, and I am pretty sure it's a female, but would appreciate if someone can confirm for me.

Edited a typo.

Should I add one to my community tank?

I have a 36 gallon community tank with some Corys, Neon Tetras, CPDs and Oto Cats. Could I add one Pea Puffer, or will it be a menace?

Why is this one so much bigger?

I got all my Corys on the same day and they were all about the same size. This pic is about two months after I got them. I have a couple that are 2-3 times bigger than the others. Are males or females larger? Do some just pig out more? Could they be pregnant (hope not). I'm just curious.

Hello,

I acquired a Celestron NexStar 130 SLT that was supposed to be new and never used, but that turned out to be a lie. As you can see, the primary mirror has black marks on it that I can't seem to get off. It's almost like they are below the surface of the glass itself. The secondary mirror is all chipped up. Are these usable as they are? Are they replaceable? The seller refunded all my money and I get to keep it, so I figured I'd see if I could get it to where it should be for a few bucks. Any suggestions on what I can do would be greatly appreciated.

So, I mowed last weekend with no problems. I was mowing yesterday with no problems. Turned it on and off several times to empty grass, and the last time, it wouldn't start. I get nothing when I turn the key. Maybe a click, and sometimes a whining or weezing sound. I used my multimeter and was getting nothing from the battery, so I just assumed the battery was dead and picked up a new one. Well, that wasn't the problem. I also think my multimeter doesn't work, but that's another issue. I have checked the fuse, all the safety measures seem connected and I banged on the solenoid a few times. I feel like this is something simple that I am missing, but the more I mess with it, the more frustrated I get. Hoping one of you can help me solve this.

TIA!
