OK, I cleaned the nasties out of my aquarium and changed out half the water. It will take it awhile to settle down. Probably ought to vacuum the gravel again once it does.

I love natural planted tanks but the Discus are a tough species with that. The constant cleaning (to avoid ammonia buildup) makes it tough on the plants because of constant gravel vacuumings.
Fresh water from the Amazon river (and tributaries).

Pic 2.....Mud turtle?
I really dislike jellyfish
Sounds a lot like my swimming pool
I learned to free dive in the Philippines as a toddler, perfected it in S Fla through my teens. Once surfaced in the middle of a Portuguese man o’ war jelly. That was a not so good of a day, had to scrape the tenticles off my chest & back with my diving knife. Damn, that stung!

**#$ you just reminded me, I need to clean my tanks. Since I got back into growing with a passion, my fish have been neglected. Not good.
I have a 200l and a 50 l tank. (What's that? 50 and 10 gallon I think) Tropical at around 26C
Surprisingly, (we live in a temperate climate) having that much water sitting around 26C - 78F just takes the chill of the room during winter which helps with the heating bills.
Box Jelly fish in the North of Australia are one jelly fish you do not want to have to deal with. blue bottles we get them regularly down here..

You would have won the internet if you photoshopped a waldo hat on one of them. Is the last one a shrimp?
Have you been stung by one?
Many, many times, I grew up surfing Huntington Beach and there were tons of them.

So did you have to ask someone to pee on you?
Actually meat tenderizer helps neutralize the stinging.So did you have to ask someone to pee on you?
I wore a wetsuit so it was mostly my legs that got it. I could pee on those myselfSo did you have to ask someone to pee on you?
I'm extremely self-sufficient.Seriously though that doesn't work. Any drawing agent would. But if you didn't stick around the stings were transiently painful sort of like nettles. You didn't want to tangle with the Man O Wars but we didn't see them often.

We had a bunch of small ones wash up on Guam, probably only 5" or less, but there were herds of them. Never saw them when I was diving.

Hey, I remember this thread. It was created like a year after I created my aquarium thread...
I want to start an Aquarium...
Tropical freshwater fish, since I'm a beginner and saltwater seems a little intimidating, as well as more maintainence. I was thinking about a 20 gallon TopFin starter kit, it includes an inadequate filter, but a 100w heater, a fluorescent hood, and some other goodies... They're charging 80...
