Just stunning

Thanks!! I'm hoping they'll spawn so I can have more to share! They do spawn now but so far no babies.

Ew.

I have still never seen snow, I'll pass.

Keep the cold wet fluff away unless it's mint chocolate chip ice cream.

I can show ya

Question, can a fish get itself stuck in rocks? I added a new rock yesterday that had lots of hidey holes. My purple firefish found an especially tiny one, and it seems stuck now. I see just tail wiggles like it's trying to back out.

My angelfish used to dart into small spaces when my Raphael catfish would scare them and they'd get stuck, so I'd say yes - typically if they get surprised they shoot for an area that looks "safe".

This is just day 2 of it running. How long to "break in"?

Sometimes a day or two, sometimes a week.

I assumed I scared it by placing rocks, so I'm trying to not touch anything hoping it'll come out.
