Stupid magic quaratine tank.
(lemmy.ml)
He was dying. He had been on his back for 24 hours. I picked him up out of the fish tank and he could barely move. I dropped him in this fish tank in the pipes so that he could find some protection from the mollies.
And he bounced right back. He's still a little slow but he's making his way around the tank on all of his legs now. And he's able to give off enough of the threat display that the Molly's leave him alone.
I really need to go through and figure out all of the parameters of this tank.
Highly recommend. I could give you some advice to help save as much money as possible if you're interested.
Setting up aquariums is really really fun just make sure you know how to cycle an aquarium before you do so otherwise you may go through some heartbreak with your fish.
Oh and Fritz bacterial products are no joke.
I'm thinking if I do it'll be an ultra budget little mini pond since I see some opportunities to keep costs low if I go that route, and I've kinda fallen in love with medaka rice fish :)
Any advice welcome! Even if it's not mini-pond related/applicable, there are some other things I'm considering doing instead or in the future with normal tanks and I'll probably still be broke if I even do any of those lol
Right now it's just fun to have something to mildly obsessively research lol, my life is pretty boring so I've learned a loooooot about fish lol
