One Honey of a Fish

This journey back into tropical aquarium keeping has proven beyond engaging. Everything has changed so much, especially with the Internet. I could go on and on about the things I’ve learned. Instead, I’ll share one image and a short clip summing up my experiences.

The honey gourami is engaging, responsive,
adaptable, and overall peaceful...

One hobbyist from Australia showed a way to add helpful bacteria via a sponge filter. Usually, adding ‘seeded’ (aka used) material requires a hang on back filter but his DIY water bottle method looks promising. It’s so nice when folks pass along their knowledge without expecting much in return.

I just wish I’d remembered to remove the label first. ~shakes head~ My concentration on setup took priority.

Can you believe a local vender happily passes along filter media from his tanks for free? The stuff does need replaced over time, but can you think of a better way to keep things going while helping others?
