I took out the willow and moved it to my other tank. New pictures from all the sides, the anubias has algae but it floats :) I sometimes put it back under.

They are available in CZ, I have been eyeing them on my last visit to this place !! I was like wow, those are nice. Will do more reading I have my marthae hatchets, 5 remaining that didnt jump out yet (2 years now), and this tank will have some parts covered with glass, even for the corydoras...

Yeah I am super curious about how this will work myself :)) The sun hits the tank for about 2-3 hours in the summer, I think maybe half an hour in autumn and none at all in winter. I have no idea how it will work, how I will handle the algae, but maybe, as long as it is not cyanobacteria or hair...

Just checking. Is there a fish that likes: flow open waters, no cover bare tank sometimes too bright, sometimes too dim light I am just musing, cycling my 100 liter tank for corydoras, sand, wood, leaves, household plants. To help with filtration I put house plants, I assume their roots...

When i managed to find pictures of females online of other dario they looked similar with a sort of spot around the gill so hopefully it is just a sign of a female I will be moving her and a male to a different tank, given it may be a female and i want to try to breed them

The fishkeeping business have been super active here for like 35 years and noone has ever used any form of dechlorinator ever. All our water is drinkable, tbh I dont even know if any form of dechlorinator is sold. I have been doing direct water changes from the faucet for 12 years and not even...

I remade this tank in June and added this fish that i had since February. Had the luminatus in this tank since last year July. I don't use dechlorinator in any of my tanks and none of them exhibit this, the last change was today and before like 10 days ago. I will keep an eye on this...

I cant get a decent picture for the life of me, I tried for hours. The fish is shy, the tank glass is dirty, there is a glare. The fish eats and behaves ok, but I am unsure if there is a gill issue. Dario hysginon, might even be a female, though I am unsure as always with these fish

I have had this group for about 3 years now, and while they initially hid, past year or so, they just sit on the substrate. I fail at feeding them well, hence the move, but they are not shy in particular. They will sit under my driftwood, but most often, sit in open areas, on top of plants...

For sure, I want to wait a bit to see how the wood will look once it sinks, will do a large leaf litter and add the house plants with large roots, that should do some fun cover, and then will consider adding more :)

Setup has been started, I will add the leaves after the weekend, I am still waiting for the plant holders to go in the tank, and once I see those, I will consider a lid. In the summer I dont think the lid is necessary, I wont keep the water level all the way to the top so they cant jump out...

oh I have the usual salvinia natans, but none of my fish eat plants. It goes ok, when it covers the whole surface, I scrap bucket of it, and let it regrow :) is not bothered by the flow and now, it gets stuck on some of the anubais leaves so it works in its favor. I have frogbit in my other...

TBH I also dose bacter AE to a tank where I have otos, and I also use it to supplement grazers. I mean I have not read anywhere it is a good fish food, but agreed, cant hurt. Same as repashy, sometimes I will sprinkle the powder in the tank instead of making a gel. If you wont overdo it, why not

So, since I will be redoing my other big tank, and I grew tired of all of my anubias, instead of throwing them out, I threw them all here. I squished the now cut moss and put like 8 or so anubias plants here. The garras LOVE them, they hang on the leaves, so a good decision I think I have a...

I have to keep trimming the upper leaves, they keep reaching the surface (60 cm!!!). And it even multiplied. Funny how i can suck at keeping plants but they sometimes do well in spite of my keeping :))

Front Back Just in case it is relevant, the stocking that will remain: 4x bolivian rams 6x pearl grouamis however many otocinclus I have same with kuhli loaches, I think I have 6, I will buy 10 more once established all my corydoras, embers, hatchetfish once I figure out a lid on the new...

Given my new tank (sixth, dont judge, replaced a previous one so technically it is not one more tank) will be ariving later this week, I will do a quick cycle and then onto the big project - tearing down the big tank, catching all the fish, reshuffling, removing the sand, adding aquaclay/new and...

I added an airstone that ran 7am to 10pm (was too noisy to run at night) in October when I added the last batch of sewellia. I dose bacter AE for the shrimplets and for the growth every other week or so, repashy green once every two weeks, spirulina tablets, fed at nighttime few times a week...

So agreed! The tank has been running for a year and eight months, and even if I decide on something, it wont be purchased until August. However I have been feeling like it has been missing something for a while, I added the other batch of normal colored minnows to make a color difference last...

My water supplier says the following: pH is 7,6 but whenever I tested I got closer to 7, in my tank filled with wood I get under 7 GH 1,06 mmol/l, Calcium is 29 mg/l and no iron. It doesnt show me the KH, conductivity is super soft, 32,7 mS/m

I know, I am here again, I just cant decide 🙂 I lost my last sewellia, which concludes my sewellia keeping experiment, since I obviously do something wrong. Even though the tank was made for them, looks perfect for them, one would expect them to thrive, they do not. I am done debating why, I...

From what I have read, Congo tetras and pearl gouramis are a bad combination. I love the look of them though and have to try them at some point. Thank you for your suggestions. I am looking at scissortail rasboras, though I have never seen them offered here, and cherry barbs who I heard are...

I know i already asked, but i am still unsure. I will be redoing the stocking in my tank and want to find a fish that will complement the fish i want to keep and will be interesting. 120x50x60 cm tank. Fish that will stay in - 5 pearl gouramis, 4 bolivian rams, some kuhli loaches, otocinclus...

Finally found the time for a much needed trim Before (and not even the latest picture, the moss reached the surface !!! now looks almost empty now :)
