Not quicker. But much more naturally. Nitrogen cycle has 5 stage : 1) ammonia 2) ammonium 3) nitrites 4) nitrates, 5) gaseous nitrogen.

Hi :) clear pics please.

Hi :) By changing the substrate you you made a new nitrogen cycle start. So daily water change of 20% at same temp. as tank water. Monitor ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates. Wait patiently until they are zero.

Actually, none of them !

You could also offer them somme homemade lollies.

Gross mistake ! I told you "salt bath, ask for details". 2 different things ;)

I told you for trying to cure eye problem : salt bath. Ask for details. To raise GH KH use dedicated salts you can find in Hong Kong. Here some good ones I know : SaltyShrimp© aquarium mineral GH/KH+ JBL© aquadur Dennerle© shrimp salt GH+/KH+ Sera© GH/KH Plus I REALLY HOPE YOU UNDERSTANT THAT...

And give shrimps some time to get used to it.

Hi @kachibi Excuse me, but do you mean you keep KOI CARPS in a tank ?? Yhis is definitely the wrongest way to maintain Koi. Not surprising your fish faces problem : fishes are more likely to injure themselves or others in tank that is overstocked. Do you realise that the minimum volume for 1...

Red Cherries high grade. Not mine so I'm not sure.

Yes, but for shrimp ;)

Cories are 80% carnivorous/insectivorous fishes : not surprising they don't like shrimp food ;)

I see. Everything is more expensive for islanders. You can also give your shrimps dry pasta.

Tanks :) 10 sticks 15$ is expensive ! I buy mine 6 to 8 € 10 sticks !

A link maybe ?

Why ?

I never encountered this issue.

Snails do feast on plants only if there's nothing else to eat or if plants are weackening.

You're welcome :) Melanoides are useFUL : they bury themselves in substrate during day avoiding ground compacting thanks to their tunnels. They feed at night.

Well different strokes different f̶o̶l̶k̶s̶ er, no, fishs 😁😂

Super quality !

Also, thanks to Byron, Fluval BugBites. And OceanNutrition. And OmegaOne.

From JBL I use : NovoFil, NovoFex, NovoDaph, NovoArtemio, PlanktonPur, and Atvitol.

Some JBL items are also very good.

Same for me : Dennerle !

Who says that ? LPS/LFS ? Brands ?

Hey :) Any brand that uses only whole ingredients and promtes full transparency on composition and analytics.

But as you're gonna have to get back to pet shop you'll take pics :lol:

Also vinegar eels. Mine loooved to see them wiggle before he snacked them 😈

Any pics ?

What species ? Depends on how big they are and what they naturally eat.

Hi :) Can you provide your pond details please : Setup : Pics of the pond Liters/gallons Live plants Nitrogen cycle Filter capacity Temp. Parameters : pH GH (hardness) KH (alkalinity) Ammonia Nitrites Nitrates Water changes Tests Livestock number and species Is eye "only" swelled up ? Or cloudy...

Hi :) All snails are useful : they are algae eaters, waste eaters, snail eggs eaters (Asolene spixi), even cannibal (Anentome 'assassin' helena).

Hi @biofish Your title says it all... unfortunately for the Cory. Betta aka Siamese fighting fish must live on its own. A 30 liters tank, cycled, heavily planted including floatings, dimly lit, slow flow, pH 6-7 maximum, GH KH below 7, ammonia nitrites nitrates = zero, high quality food ...
