Can't tell if this is a troll or not...

Tiger barbs can get EXTREMELY aggressive, especially in small groups. I also agree with the posts above regarding the gourami & betta.

At a lower pH, ammonia begins to change to ammonium (NH4) which cannot be nitrified easily by bb, which can lead to bacteria starving.

Bryangar, meet Trash. Trash, meet Bryangar ;)

Hello. Who are you again? I didn't start this. Sarah and Trash (?) came here first.

Fish forums tend to specialise in a certain area, so maybe this one could solve your problem.

I totally don't know you! Fishlore is WAYYYY more active than this one. On fishlore, threads get posted like every 3 mins at times. I'm from Sydney (Australia), so it's a bit sleepier on the way home from uni & stuff, but still more active than this one ever is. Sleepytown around here :zz:zz

Yes, but make sure you wash them really well with vinegar and hot water.

Try raising it to around 6-7 using a small bag of crushed coral or boiled & washed seashells.

KH and GH are completely different things. What is your KH? KH should be high in most circumstances, to prevent fluctuations.

A TDS meter measures the level of total dissolved solids in the tank.

How about you get the API Master Freshwater test kit and the API GH/KH kit to test your water. Some good stocking ideas could include: A single betta Ember or green neon tetras Asian Stone catfish (not with bettas) Shrimp/Snails (you'd probably need a TDS meter) Killifish CPDs ADFs (probably...

Oh, whoops :eek: didn't see that! Are there moderators on this forum??

What if I removed the airline tubing from the tap each night?

Goldfish food is lower in protein than tropical food so it just won't be as nutritious. It won't harm them though :) The bigger issue is goldfish in a 10 gallon :o

How should I turn off the co2 without the bottle exploding?

hardness/pH is really not a big deal unless it's unstable (potentially due to a low KH); most captive bred fish, even neons will be fine between 5.8-8.6 pH and 2-10 dGH.

Really? I know people grow it using the dry start method, but is it best as an emersed plant? If so, what other carpeting plants would you recommend? Good to know, I will try to direct the flow away from the diffuser :) Yes, it has had an effect on my pH/KH. my pH dropped .3 overnight and my KH...

Looking for my goddamn siphon...

Haha I think I know you...

I think your setup is overstocked as is; uaru grow to 1' so you want to rehome them to something like 120 gallons. As for the other fish, maybe focus on getting larger numbers for your schools (aim for 8-10).

Hey everyone, this is going to be where I post on my new planted tank. I'm already on my way to completing it but I'll give you all an in-depth guide to it. Specs - 7 gallon glass tank - Generic LED light (8w) - 155 gph power filter equipped with a spray bar - 25w Aqua One heater Ferts/CO2 -...

For me, generic LEDs off eBay work great. I have one for my 23 high and it's fantastic and cost me less than $40.

Mainly nano fish like guppies, neons, cories, bettas etc. I'm contemplating an oscar tank in the future though :)

Hey, fellow fishkeepers! I've been keeping aquariums for a little over two years now and I'm excited to help and learn here :)
