Yeah to me it seems like the CO2, the colors were fairly bright before I added it this week. I also wanted to thank you so much for your help, and everyone else here! Y’all have been great!

Will definitely look into doing that once my CO2 stabilizes a bit. I had 6 and one died while moving 2 months ago. He was already kind of weak and frequently had swim bladder and health issues on and off. Since I added the 2 there was some fin nipping among them for a few days, then it stopped...

29 gallon, established for about a year now. The serape tetras are definitely aggressive to each other, but don’t seem to mind the Bolivians. I’ve seen the Bolivians occasionally chase them off if they don’t want them somewhere for some reason or another, but the serpaes seem to know they’re the...

I think I found out what happened. My drop checker doesn’t seem to be working well. I found one of the rams gasping for breath, and when I moved him into a net next to a fan and filters, he improved. They are still pretty sick but definitely improving.

I’ve had t he pair breed before, and they definitely didn’t do it like this. The three spot is a juvenile and smaller than the rams. The rams don’t bother him except sometimes if he tries to take their food the male will chase him away.

They are all the same fish at slightly different times. The symptoms aren’t as extreme on the female yet. This is the male.

Just double checked, ammonia is at 0. I’ve fed the frozen food before, I was just temporarily without a freezer for a little bit. The tetras pretty much make sure nothings left

My rams are in a well established tank, nitrates 15, all else 0. I recently added co2, but the drop checker is reading green, so it seems fine. 2 days ago, one of my rams developed red along the base of his fins, it was especially prominent in the dorsal fin. I originally thought it may just be...

Intere Interestingly enough I noticed the male is much more tolerant of the female at night. I caught them digging another hole together at night, with him only mildly nipping at her once. It’s not like he doesn’t see her, because there’s a blue light and he’s chasing the serapes away. Whenever...

Just a slight update, I caught them lip locking and fighting for a good minute. They’ve never fought like this, and this isn’t the females ysual territory. Their colors are also much darker, especially the black stripe and spot. I don’t mean that their color is darker (as in when they’re...

So my Bolivian rams spawned. This was pretty unexpected because the male was a bit of a dick to the female, and didn’t want to pair off. Anyhow, he still doesn’t want to pair off, as he refuses to let the female anywhere near the fru, and will vicious chase her away. He seems to be protecting...

Can anyone help sexing my Bolivian rams? here is the first one, his tail fin has no trailers. Here’s the second one, his tail fin also has no trailers. Here’s the third one, the tail fin has trailers. It’s also the biggest.

Black skirt tetras are a few months old. They’ve been doing well for a while. It’s a 29 gallon, and they do lighten up when they get scared (usually when I do a water change it freaks them out). Water parameters are 0 nitrites 0 ammonia 5 nitrates. I did a water change shortly before adding the...

The only thing that has changed is I added a Bolivian ram female. She’s not being aggressive, and mostly just exploring the tank and chilling. Before, they would swim freely at the top and not demonstrate any schooling behavior.

Ottos should be in schools. Tetras generally only school with their own species.

I am building one out of cinerblock, my Home Depot however, didn’t have anyone to cut the wood for 2 by 4s and were out of them. Is it ok to put it in a plywood sheet as long as all the corners and middle is supported?
