Aquarium rant: if you have a home aquarium slightly smaller in size than the reflecting pool’s 6.8 million gallons, plecos are a terrible choice for algae control. They get way too big and introduce way too much ammonia. Snails and neocardinia shrimp are a much better choice and can actually live off algae and crud on the bottom to a large extent.
Terrarium rant: if you have a home terrarium it is not the same thing as an aquarium and no, do not put fish in it.
They will die.
I’m helping them evolve!
Has there ever been a push to make the reflecting pool more natural and self regulating? It would look pretty cool with some water lilies and koi. You can even get lilies in red, white, and blue. Or use a native alternative if that’s more appropriate.
Wouldn’t be much of a reflecting pool if it’s covered in lilies.
And just to be clear, I’d much prefer it being covered in lilies.
Probably not, because it does get pretty cold and snowy in the winter at times, which would kill the ecosystem, and there’s a lot of ecosystem that would need to go in that reflecting pool
Clown plecs don’t grow big - three inches or so. And they do keep algae down, though so does a scraper on a stick
Why, you gotta thing for working for people who dont pay when the job is done?
Oh. And he rapes kids.
He doesn’t suck enough to get hired by our current government
The ecosystem is already full of bottom dwelling scum suckers.
Especially in DC
True.
Also, I forgot to add: no offense to the entire family Hypostomus. They actually clean up the swamp.
How do the feel about hydrogen peroxide?
They always wanted to be blonde
That sounds like a solid win then!
