Hi people!!! I just grabbed a bristleworm.

Ok details, Sir.

With your bare hand?

Saw one and got excited and threw it in your tank?

Had a pair of tongs and ninja'd that MF out?

 

[Mschmidt]

It’s Ann here! If they are currently on the glass you can take a credit card and very gently lift up a part of its foot, slide the card against the glass and slowly wiggle it under the foot. Once you get a small piece to lift up you can slide your finger under and very slowly peel it off the glass. For any that are on the rock, just chisel around it and break up the rock.

Mille grazie

Bare handed. Picked up a Zoa rock and saw it rolled up and grey and thought, "Uh oh! Zoa escaped the rock!" And picked it up and tossed it back on the rock. It stuck to my finger and I thought it was weird until it unrolled and crawled off the rock. Oops.

man, my goni is not doing so well...

Mine like mediumish flow (higher FL w makes them not stretch as long but more fluffy) and low to medium light. They sit on the sand bed. Move yours to slightly higher flow and see if it helps? No flow makes mine shrink.

Note I said "trying". HR wouldn't support it. Maybe next week.

They can handle light so I'd focus more on finding the flow that makes them happy.

Thanks, i will try to move it a little higher, you it gets very little flow, but some as in the camera i can see it moving it a little....... I will try to find a new spot for it and see if it helps...

STORY TIME!

I'm lucky enough to work from home (and have for 10 years in March!), but I'm also in client calls most of the day every day, so it has its trade-offs. Calls are all via zoom, and I don't blur my background. I have three tanks behind me: my 29-gallon chaos tank, my small 4.8-gallon pico tank, and my hospital tank which is barely visible but can be seen. Most folks never mention a thing, which is fine.

But today, towards the end of a particularly good call the guy is like, "So if you don't mind me asking ... are those SW tanks behind you?" To which we had a wonderful conversation re: tanks, livestock, and the hobby. Turns out, he's looking to get back into the hobby after about a decade away (moving, kids, life) and doesn't know where to start. Of course, I point him to the forums, but I also happened to be wearing my LRO t-shirt I won in the last sale, so HI PUT ME ON PAYROLL ( ), I was like, "Once you join, you have to follow LRO, and join in their sales to stock your tank when you're ready."

Fun fact, it also reminded me of @ktfloyd01 because he had a blue and red macaw screaming at us the whole time which I found hilarious. He kept apologizing, but it was great.

That is hysterical as it never fails. After the "hello's" when the phone rings, it is then a signal that the attention is no longer on them so let the scream fest begin!

How cool that you both got to enjoy non work conversations.

Does anyone have any fish tank goals they are trying to achieve this year? Mine is to actually get mine up and running, hopefully before the end of the year

Gorgeous room!!! I love the colors and light fixtures. That tank is going to be awesome!
My tank goals this year are to do better with my reef tank maintenance and…..drum roll….I’m hoping to add a discus tank
