I have a plan for that.

I have an idea for a 29 gallon tall community tank involving Pea Puffers modelled after some other people’s tanks that had success with breeding them in similar setups.

15 Pea Puffers (4 males, 11 females)
10 Kuhli Loaches
6 Amano Shrimp
20 Neocaridina Shrimp (apparently the Peas go crazy for baby shrimp).

Kuhlis and Amanos will be the cleanup crew, picking up whatever the Peas leave behind. According to the people I've been talking to, the Peas get really curious about the Amanos but don’t attack them. Whatever isn’t a Puffer will be going into the tank at least 3 days before the Puffers themselves.

This tank will be heavily planted with plants that are excellent nitrate absorbers. Java Moss, Moss Balls, Limnophila Sessiliflora, Hornwort, Hydrocotyle varieties, Salvinia, Frogbit, Tiger Lotus, Pearlweed, Monte Carlo, Amazon Sword, and Water Lettuce. I’ll try to make it look as much like a jungle as possible to provide line of sight breaks. I may even consider aquaponics with Pothos or Monstera.

I’m also putting a fine mesh bag of Eheim Substrat Pro underneath my substrate for more biological filtration + a Hygger Double Sponge Filter (rated for 40 gallons). My substrate will be aquasoil (don't know which brand yet) capped with sand.

I’ve set up a small 2L tank for Daphnia breeding and a 5 gallon tank for snail breeding. Both to be used for food. From the side of the tank will hang a Fluval 0.5 Gallon Breeder box where I will raise live blackworms. This tank will be connected to the main tank so it would constantly receive fresh tank water.

Thoughts?

Can someone please make a program that blocks all Wojak and Pepe threads? 4chan would be perfect without these posters

Because both sexes are getting increasingly politically polarized and want nothing to do with each other. Include the rising cost of living and people simply ask themselves "Is it worth it?", and most people choose to spend what little money they have on themselves and on things they actually enjoy. Dating isn't worth it anymore, and I have serious doubts about things returning to the way they once were. In my case, I've basically planned my life around being alone forever, and just focus on my fish tanks. Why the fuck would I get a girlfriend, spend money on her, only for her to eventually cheat? Same thing with marriage, I refuse to get married (or have kids) knowing that I could lose half my shit because women can wake up one day and decide that "they're not feeling it anymore" and file for divorce (prenups don't save you anymore either). Fuck that shit, I'm much more content being left alone to take care of my aquariums.

Spite + I want to see how it ends. Gut feeling tells me there's a bigger plan that i'm not fully understanding at this moment.
