Re: Native Alternatives to Guppies

Ha! I know, right? It was right in the OP that I have plans in place that will allow me to breed in a separate tank if needed. AND I'd mentioned it a couple times since, lol.

Re: Native Alternatives to Guppies

Well, like I said in my OP, I do already have a plan in place for a separate tank to actually do the breeding in if necessary.

Re: Native Alternatives to Guppies

Yes, I get that. But it DOES matter a bit more if my intent is to reproduce a slice of the ecosystem for aesthetics.

Re: Native Alternatives to Guppies

Well, like I said I'm not expecting the fish to be the main food source, but something I can offer periodically between mice. So as long as it breeds easily in captivity it would still work for my...

Native Alternatives to Guppies

So, I'm now the proud poppa of a baby California Red-Sided Garter Snake. Right now she's going through guppies at the pace of two per day.

I'm working on setting up a breeder tank to get my own ...

Re: Bioactive Help

Well, I changed out my substrate to Reptisoil and changed my watering schedule, and that seems to have done the trick. Front plant is back to flourishing again. My main concern now is that the...

Re: Bioactive Help

Do you think I should try a different substrate? Repitsoil?

Re: Bioactive Help

Yes, there’s a drainage layer. I’m using a. Neherp V2, their temperate substrate.

So I'm having some trouble with my planted terrarium.

Right now I have two Dichondra (silver falls). The one in front was added May 24. It USED to...

Re: Newcomer Looking For Advice

Got to talking about this project yesterday with my sister, who does a lot of work with aquariums, and she came up with another option of a smaller tank for the enclosure to keep the footprint...

Re: Newcomer Looking For Advice

Yeah, I'm still planning to keep the fish in the tank with the snake. I was actually considering having a hole drilled in the bottom of the tank at one end for the filter intake, with a hose leading...

Re: Newcomer Looking For Advice

Still in the planning stages. I've actually started writing down materials and cost estimates, and YEESH, this is going to be a FINANCIALLY formidable build, as much as it will be one creatively...

Re: Newcomer Looking For Advice

Ok, here's what I'm thinking:

Start with a 135 Wide tank (I'm considering getting glass sheets and assembling it myself to cut the cost of the finished tank in half). 23" from each end I'll put a...

Re: Newcomer Looking For Advice

The longer tank would also better let me use my original plan of having the water area divide the land area in two, so I can use one side of the tank for a warm end, and the other side for the cool...

Re: Newcomer Looking For Advice

Ok, I think I've got a good idea on how to start (and thanks for the validation that much of what I've planned will work, if be a bit of a challenge). The trickiest part of the setup I think is going...

Re: Newcomer Looking For Advice

Was just looking at glasscages.com and they have a tank that's 48x24x24. It would be a little shallower than the 16" I was thinking, but I could do 18x24x12 for the water and end up a hair over 22...

Re: Newcomer Looking For Advice

I was definitely considering aquatic plants, and will definitely consider things like those hyacinths (ideally I'd like to use as much as possible that would be native to the environment). I was also...

Re: Newcomer Looking For Advice

Yeah, I know. Mainly trying to establish which would be the better approach: Go for a larger footprint and shallower water, or make the water deeper. If I make something myself I've got more...

Re: Newcomer Looking For Advice

Heh, never said I was one to take the easy way out. ;-)

Where do you see being the main bottleneck? Water depth or surface area? Was thinking I could squeeze in more water by making a custom tank...

Re: Newcomer Looking For Advice

How much water space do you suspect would be necessary for it to work? I'm pretty limited in how much space I have available so can't go too big on the enclosure. And of course cost is also a factor....

Re: Newcomer Looking For Advice

1. I'd thought about putting a divider in, maybe at a slight angle to help give it a sloped bank, so sounds like my idea there was on the right track. The downside I can think of is that the divider...

Re: New to the Forum

I'm considering a California Red-Sided Garter. Made a post on the Thamnophis board about what I'm looking to do for the setup, and could use some advice.

Newcomer Looking For Advice

Hello!

I live in a small apartment, and because my current space and schedule make a cat, dog, or ferrets impractical, have recently been considering getting a snake again. I've had a snake...
