How many degrees do you gain over the room temperature ?

Oh many thanks 👌

Females Guppy are a risk as well as Mollies, Platies, Swordtails.

Lid up your tank, it's the only way to be sure.

I wonder which chiller do you use ? Any link ?

So, so what ? Patience is aquarist best ally ! I cannot understant this obsession of wanting to speed up everything expecially in aquaria !

Or better in RO water that is free of anything.

This is the brand I use for years now and for nothing else on earth I would changed it out ! http://www.aquario.co.kr/neoMedia/neoMediaPure.php?ckattempt=3

Yes but definitely not as well as "rings".

Wrong again ! BB multiply as well with plants.

Wrong ! I always fishless cycle WITH plants and NO ammonia add.

You're welcome ;) Simply put. As you raise water swirl you make CO2 (that participate to decrease pH) vanishing. Less CO2 = more O2.

Of course ! Cheeeaaaper than "rings". Yes but not enough porous. And needs to be cleaned regularly and replaced. Not "rings".

Reminder : Airstone raises pH as long as it is below 8.4 and OP is 7.8 tapwater and 7.6 tankwater..... I think Cories do not need pH to be raised.

NO NEED TO ADD AMMONIA as long as tank has substrate and filter medias ! Plants are important for tank balance !

Keep in mind they won't hesitate to eat each other ! Best parameters for Corydoras hastatus : pH 6 to 7 GH KH below 9 Very fine sand Spider roots, mopani roots Densely planted including floatings Temp. 25°C/77°F

Yes, filter floss or something funny but super effective a little piece of pantyhose or lady's Sheer Knee-High Stockings : very stretchy very thin, hold with elastic band ;)

Let the filter do the job ;)

Hey ! Nice to get news of your "drama box" that turned stunning :) Makes me want to create its Mediterranean mate.

Dedicated shrimp tank or fish below 3 cm.

😬 risk a slight predation on larvas/nauplius/mysis stages (see that like a kind of.... birth control), or a full predation on juveniles and adults especially females guppies.

Be carefull Axolotl eat worms, insects, small fish like mini Cories, and just about anything else that can fit inside their mouth and swallow whole, including other axolotl..... better alone. Guppies and other livebearers want pH 7.5 to 8 and GH KH 15 to 30 definitely not suitable for Corydoras...

The sine qua non hair algae tool remover is bottle-brush ;)

"""just""" ?? Too many !

Clearer pics ?

The best (only?) way for non-reduction and possible increase is to make shrimps live alone. No fish. You also need shrimps breed in freshwater : for example Caridina multidentata "Amano" is amphidromous so babies can't grow without salted water. You can house shrimps and fishes, knowing that...

Tank measurements ? What water do you use ? If water do you dechlorine it and how ?

Any clearer pics ?

Hi :) 29 gallons is 30" x 12" x 18" if I'm not mistaken so it enables quite a few possibilities :)

""as long as it is below 8.4"" 7.6 is below 8.4 so it's gonna raise. Bad for Cories.

Some of you may have forgotten that airstone raises pH as long as it is below 8.4 and OP is 7.8 tapwater and 7.6 tankwater..... I think Cories do not need pH to be raised.

You think right ;)

You can get them in pink, blue, and silver.

You will need to buy once a "batch" of maybe ramshorn snails you'll feed with anything (they are detritivore) then sacrifice them upon the puffer's teeth altar.......

Advice from @Colin_T

Yeah ! They need to wear their sharp teeth out on shells.

Absolutely. @bianca_m35 it is enough to let tap water stand for 72 hours/3 days and there will be no more chlorine or chloramine.

No. Puffer fish is another hard alcaline even brachish fish and it is a known fin nipper. They need species tank.

Hmm there's something that is over adapted to differing water conditions : it is atavism. To be happy and thrive livebearers' water should be pH 7.5-8.5 with a 15-30 dGH water hardness.
