As a fish nerd & big fan of FA, I'm very curious to know if Caleb still is into fishkeeping. I've noticed a lack of fish in his studio tank over the last few months!

My false Juliis love hiding out here sometimes :)

I’ve successfully set up SyncThing on my PC (home device), and added my RP6 and Thor. However, I’m trying to add my new TrimUI brick hammer using NextUI but I’m a bit confused on the folder setups on PC.

Are there any visual guides on this? I’ve asked around but am struggling to find a guide for NextUI. I watched Joey’s video but he didn’t show the folder structures. Thanks!

Looking for some help regarding my axolotl, Rootbeer that I've had for about a month now.

Params: pH 7.4-7.6, ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate ~10. Temp 60-64F via chiller. (No tank light), tank has been running for 2ish months.

A Fluval 307 canister filter is being used in this 40gal breeder tank & weekly 25% water changes are performed with Seachem Prime.

Rootbeer has ALWAYS loved this back left corner of the tank, so the other day I added a hide which "he" clearly loves. Before the hide was added, he would always just sit in the back of the tank. I get my current scape isn't ideal, but I have a very large piece of driftwood for the tank that is perfectly smooth for an axolotl, hence the semi-wack looking tank, as my driftwood will be a centerpiece to scape around.

Bubbler was added yesterday, but this behavior was happening prior to adding the bubbler. Plants are a work in progress, and my anubias are floating until I can find something to strap them down to.

However, I've recently ran into issues with feeding him. I primarily fed cut up red wigglers for the first few weeks I had him, but then he started spitting out due to bitterness. Tried blanching, won't eat them anymore. I had also tried pellets, which he just completely ignores and I end up having to suck them up out of the tank daily as they don't get eaten.

The last two days, I have tried feeding nightcrawlers cut up into very small pieces, and he only eats about 1/4th of the worm. I know axolotls at his size (~6-7inch) should be eating pretty much once a day until larger. However, I truly cannot get him to eat even more than 1/4th of a worm a day. I try wiggling it in front of his face, but he ignores it.

His head width is about the same width as the body, which I know equates to a healthy weight. Am I doing something wrong, or is this totally normal behavior for an axolotl? I really feel like a bad owner or that I am doing something wrong which greatly upsets me, because I have poured so much into this. He poops maybe once every 5-6 days.

TLDR: Axolotl hides in corner all day, only eats 1/4th of a worm, and doesn't ever move much. Help!

Come on mannn!!! Ruined my 6k locker run smh. I got downed by arc then this joker runs along and knocks me. Oh well run it back!! My spaghetti was upsettied tho

My 40 breeder is finally fully cycled, so I was able to pick Rootbeer up yesterday from a local breeder! They’re just a bit over 6 inches. Very excited to see them grow!

Looking for some large climbing grounds / hides for my future axolotl. My 40 gal breeder is almost done cycling and I saw these at Petsmart. They’re labeled as terrarium safe / turtle basking decor - but are these safe for the water quality? I’m looking for something other than just PVC / terracotta pots. Thanks!!

I’ve been having issues with my plants in my tank, but only this tank. They melt away like this and end up with holes in them.

I currently supplement Thrive AIO liquid fert, a few times a week. My params are stable when it comes to the API test kit, pH 7.5, 0, 0, 5-15.

I do have frogbit floaters, but clear them out as I can sell them. I keep my lights on for 6-8 hours a day.

Should I be using plant fert tabs instead? I really am looking for some guidance. Thanks!

Pretty disgusting, not shocked though
