With surviving Fish maybe just extra airpump for surface agitation / max oxygen

The RO water before you add anything should be that turquoise colour on the chart. Bang on 7.0. I use RO and the same test kit. This might not be relevant.

Is that picture you posted the straight RO water readings? Because the pH is showing as acidic? Might be nothing. The other readings if that's straight RO are good

Sh** sorry to hear this. What a nightmare. If the pH is 8.4 as indicated in your pictures then that ammonia reading you posted in the other thread would have been very toxic to the fish. I think your ammonia reading was about 3.0 ppm ? @TwoTankAmin will now. Maybe he can confirm. I think the...

The rest of your tank looks so natural that these things you have in the tank almost look straight from their natural environment as well 😉

Hybrid mbuna cichlid / parsnip

What's the nitrate levels in the fresh water going back in?

That's really good news on the nitrite. Save you having to think about adding a small amount of salt to protect the fish. That's if it got that far and you don't have anything living in there that can't handle a small bit of salt. These API ammonia kits can be a bit temperamental sometimes. The...

To say nitrates should be 20 max. What are you basing this on? And for what fish? All fish?

I think you said you are using straight RO? That means your pH will be 7.0 or very close which means the ammonia will be quite a bit less toxic than say pH 7.5 or so which you might get in your area of UK without RO? Unless you are adding anything to the RO that raises the pH. Do you have a pH...

African Dwarf Frogs. I wouldn't do it. It's not meant to be that way. Feeding time can be difficult and if you ever need to medicate the tank, you have issues. Thats just two headaches. The frogs deserve better anyway than to be mixed in an environment not for them. With the festivum, could be...

Well said. I got bit and felt like someone chopped off the tip of my finger. Lots of blood.

Some hamsters don't like being woken up. I learned the hard way when younger. Am being serious.

Clown loach can live a long time. Some clown loach claim a state pension

With Father Fish, I like watching his stuff, as I also find it very relaxing and visually appealing. However, he will come up with some head scratching advice. For example, I've often heard him say that when setting up a new tank, to leave the lights on for 2 weeks non stop, 24 hours a day, and...

I vote release the fry if they are already 2 weeks old :)

Do you know your water hardness (GH) and pH?

Can wife take a video ?

Ah! I knew there was something different:-)

Got to be one of your best pictures there! :banana:

You are one thoughtful fishkeeper. That is one blessed Betta. Maybe it's just because she is still settling in with the glass surfing thing. It might not be an issue. I know Betta's can be at risk of obesity more than some fish. I'm not sure on the Daphnia question. You could do it as a trial...

I would check out the bug bites range and also JBL ProNovo Cichlid

What cichlids?

I like the API one, very reliable as I have tanks with both tap water and RO water. I test GH all the time, mutliple tanks with different mixes of tap water/RO. You don't need to stand there and enter 1 drop at a time. My tap water is fairly hard and goes from orange to green at either 15 or 16...

Does it improve the quality of the compost?

I don't believe in bare bottom tanks for any purpose. Too stressful for the fish. QT should be least stressful as possible, but still easy to observe the fish. I vote substrate :)

I am assuming the filter is running? If not, ignore my entire post, sorry!

That you might not ever be able to clean the impellor is not necessarily a bad thing. I am probably in minority. For me, the best thing about Juwel tanks is actually that filter. I've had all kinds of Juwel tanks over probably a 20 year period. I might have been lucky. Never had a filter...

80cm that's much better than if it was 60cm. Sounds like those danios are better with you than they would be with most people who buy them. They seem to get treated like cannon fodder generally. If you were reincarnated as a fish, you probably wouldn't want to be a zebra danio. 80cm they will...

Probably 90% of people keep zebra danios in tanks too small because they look like such small fish, but their nature needs longer tanks. They are too active for small tanks and will be not be living the way they should (ideally).

There are no fish that should be in a 24 litre in my opinion. That might be a minority view. Well maybe some fish really microscopic, or a holding tank for fry. Zebra danios should be in a 90 to 100cm long tank and your 64 L is probably not that. I know that reads harsh, but that's me putting...

You talking in gallons and 1 bedroom apartment, wondered if you had made the journey across the pond into Kent.

I think Gary will be responding to you Magnum Man :)

How are you adapting to life in the UK?

Definitely upload a video this time. Be good to see

CrowdStrike incompetence.... you had one job...

Get this. Safe for fish, plants and the filter https://www.amazon.co.uk/your-orders/pop/ref=ppx_yo_mob_b_pop?_encoding=UTF8&gen=canonical&lineItemId=ljqlsrqsppknwoy&orderId=202-4797155-3113138&packageId=1&returnSummaryId=&returnUnitIndices=&returnUnitMappingId=&shipmentId=UJ0RCvVFV

Yeh but a fish should not have to need "hiding spots" in this scenario. A betta should be able to go about their business as they would prefer
