Err.... no. Siamese Fighting Fish is kept any old how in a slapdash way whereas it has rather accurate needs to thrive, in particular : - No bowl - No tank mate - pH 6-7 - GH KH below 8 - Temp 25-26°C/77-79°F - High protein pellet food (no meal food) - Live/frozen food A Betta can live, in...

Hey @bianca_m35 you should follow Byron's advice ;)

Probably ash soda. @Byron according to you ?

Could you provide links I could read about that ?

Is it cactus wood I see ?

Hey @Helix1994 As they are getting big (up to 30 cm) to me, your tank is too small : no hiding places, not enough space to escape and run away. Substrate isn't suitable, neither are plastic plants. We need more details : ....Setup : Overall pics of the tank Why not live plants ? Nitrogen...

Ah OK, so only too active :lol:

Housed with calm and slow swimmer it is too hardy and active.

A nice one for sure but too large too hardy and too active for this small tank

👌👏 Definitely agree.

Very sad news.

What does brand says ?

Colin said it is OK.

On the condition that you stop the pump, otherwise the current disperses everything. Trichogaster "dwarf gourami" lalius is territorial, will try to enlarge its territory and can be aggressive up to kill all tank mates. So : NO. Especially is a small tank.

To me it's a mistake to keep 2 schools of 2 different species even if they are relatively close. For fish wellfare it would be MUCH better to opt for ONE school of 15-20 Boraras brigittae that will thive this way so better than in 2 unbalanced schools.

Yes (?) on trio in 20H with no other bottom feeder : compete for food could lead to issues.

So we didn't read the same litterature :lol: I always consider ADULT SIZE. I keep on saying 250 litre isn't enough. So let's take the least risk ;)

Hey :) Could you please answer my post #69 ?

???? ???? Any pic ?

It means let water rest 72 hours if possible in blackness, to let chlorine and chloramine that burn gills evaporate on their own.

Ah 2 good points :) About GH KH are they in ppm ?

The 2 first are aquariums after my own ♥

Sorry to say this, but 250 litre isn't enough at all for Angels even young. They are territorial and aggressive fishes. Ramirezi are also territorial and often turn highly protector when spawning. This could all go bad. I encourage you to rehouse your Angels, keeping in mind they will grow 7 x 9...

Hello :) We need precise results (in numbers) on : pH GH KH ammonia nitrites nitrates. 70°F is definitely not enough for Betta that IS a tropical fish. He wants 77-78°F. Do you stand water 72 hours before any waterchange ? Or do you use a water conditionner against chlorine and chloramine ?

In French it is said, a word for word, recognition of the belly, I think cupboard love should match :lol:

Hey @Shushan Your tank measurements and set up are ?

C. hastatus prefers slow or even no current. C. habrosus prefers medium current and loves to play in. C. pygmaeus prefers slow current.

Is this soil one of those that need waterchanges usually twice a week during 4-5 first weeks ?

Java fern dislike to be planted too deeply. Leaves base (rhizome) must remain above ground.

@kateh very probably a bacterian bloom, happens often at aquarium start. Let it run on its own ;) Also check what fluval stratum substrate instructions are, sometimes it is recommended to waterchange with some "complete" commercial soils.

Just in case, check their chalkyness with hydrochloric acid. Its holes are too small to hide the entire group. Shrimps live in colony.

20 gallon long allows you to keep 15-20 Corydoras pygmaeus and shrimps. Dragon stone is beautiful but I'd rather go for smooth pebbles (not shingle from beach). You could choose dark fine sand to accentuate Cories, shrimps and plants.

As far as I know Axolotl wants : Tank filled with 17 inches high of water not higher + a lid. Temp. 62 to 71 maximum. 72 hours rested water is usually suitable : pH 7.5 to 8 Hard 11-12 °gh and alkaline 6-7 °kh water Nitrates below 5 Ammonia Nitrites undetectable. Weekly change 20%. Many plants...

Test drops ? So should be accurate.

This - according to me - bad habit is typical of our days.... for years. I call it in French "tout, tout de suite" being in English everything right now.

Wow ! Super effective ! Thanks again.

How did you test it ? Pencil ? Please post a pic of it.

LOL I was saying this to ni-ine in particular ! Sorry my passion led again !
