This is how JB Aquatics runs their business
Just wanted to share my 45g tank with houseplant hydroponics.
I got an insanely close video of my Vampire Shrimp eating and I was NOT prepared for how hairy this dude is 😂🦐 Wait for the zoom…
I was given this huge walking catfish. Didn't know they get this big! They're previous owner gave it to me because it didn't fit in their tank anymore. I think it's going to be happy in my 750 Litre tank
Accidentally bought (roughly) $300 fish tank for $6
Wood killed half my tank
Is covering the tank at night in a brightly lit area helpful?
