the danio and harlequin was from person who owned the tank before and didnt want. As for the neons i think my lobster is slowly picking them of as i had 11 at one point and now down to 3. am thinking of a school of harlequin as he seems to be surviving alrite? ideally i want a school with more brighter colours
Hi,
Great looking layout and impressive plant health. If you can maybe add a little red to the greenery, it does look good as it is with the different plant species/ textures.
Is that an Apple snail too I see far right.
Are you aware your Vallis will probably melt, it doesn't like liquid carbon very much.

Yeah thats an apple snail, i had 6 at one point but they where munching through my plants way too quick and not touching the black algae which i was hoping they would. I read a few articals online that said the vallis would melt and so would the anubias but i havnt seen anything yet today is the 2nd overdose day. The only change i see is the water going slightly cloudy which im hoping is the algae breaking down also my flying fox seems to be sitting on the algae a bit more for some reason hopefully the algae is dying off.
Ah, I was wondering if they found your plants tasty.
The hair algae I had went brown then red before dropping off the plants, I spot dosed the worst areas too, make sure you don't overdose when spot dosing. I have shrimp which loved eating it when it died. I don't remember any cloudiness.
I found it most effective by doing a large water change, greater than 40%, then dosing at the larger dosage as per the instructions.
