That is sad to hear. So far the gold line is affected, I bought almost all the stock from the same breeder, lost 4 fish to it, maybe 5 in the past year, they are over a year old. The normal line is not having this issue How come it happens so sudden in a fish that previously didnt experience it...

Another one seems like it is affected I took a video ( daylight, so glare), and am going to do a water change (was planned anyway)

I caught a strange indostomus behavior, maybe mating but usually the male is supposed to entice the female into his tube, this was not the case. I moved the clown killifish back before the weekend and this is not the first time I have seen the indostomus doing this. ofcourse my glass is not...

The indostomus tank is working, though I lost one of the fish, no idea why. May be feeding as I fed a bit less, might be age as I have had them for about a year now. No clue. Others are doing ok For now a pair of clown killifish were moved in there to attempt a breeding, as I was thinking, the...

Over weekend I finally got a delivery of dario hysgion and added them to the clown killifish tank. I also moved some shrimp there some time back, so the tank is now full of life (and red, so much red:) ) I do not have the most recent picture of the tank, I have added two sava pods, some...

So, it has been few months and I dont think the tank is doing well First of I lost all the water lettuce plants, cause as summer stopped, the sunlight stopped hitting the tank in the morning and the light I have on is not sufficient for the floaters. The past few weeks I have been fighting with...

I bought a newer batch to add to the existing one and it took them over a month to actually color up the same way the others were. Maybe that is the case? I also have one that hangs at a different corner than the others

BTW I took a quick picture to show how shrimp safe the pandas are. Astonishingly so. The shrimp took the pellet away for a while. Hillstreams have less success taking the food from garras, as the hillstream will sit on it, but the garra will burrow under it to get at it

There are several garra species, flavatra (panda), rufa (the one used in those dreadful pedicure saloons) and gotyla. I also saw mention of spilota https://aquadiction.world/garras/ especially flavatra and rufa look the same but differ in coloration. I suggest you check their description...

I did decide to add one more thing to the tank, and it brought me to a question. I bought a snail. I used to have a mystery snail here, a magenta one, but it died after half a year. Not sure why, maybe the temp. I went for a different snail this time. It is a brotia, either pagodula (sold as...

Back in December i added around 20 shrimp. I chose cheaper culled ones and colorless cause i didn't really expect anything out of it. Imagine my surprise as i am seeing more and more few mm babies, not hiding in the moss wall but sitting on the stones between the panda garras and right under the...

Strange that I have to ask this, given I have had the rabbits for the past three years, but maybe someone has some tips. I have too many snails in a too small tank. It makes not much sense to me, given my water parameters are not what they should like and for a year I have had them they didnt...

I will have to do something like that, but I put the water with hose in the tank itself, no extra step with a bucket. I just do it slowly and take about an hour or more to fill the tank back in, so the temp difference is not so drastic. Or I hope so.

I dont test much, sometimes NO2 and NO3 and results were ok every time. I cant really do a 50% water change because I use cold water from a tap and it takes a long time to equalize temps since the tank has no heater. I can implement changes more frequently, but not higher volume.

I removed half the rocks recently and every other water change I do I vacuum under the java moss very intensly to avoid the buildup. I also vacuum between the stones as well to try to keep it clean once the issue occurs again I will document it better for sure so we know better next time. I...

Ah like Esox but in a tank form. Got it. In that case I have no ideas, but people here recently started keeping Channas and they look georgeous. The size though

I am a bit daft today, but what is considered a predator? Arent all fish that eat other things than algae essentially sort of predators? Just curios, because I am getting dario hysgion soon, and I consider that to be a predator, will hunt fry, hunts food and wont accept dry. I believe they may...

I know asking about a possible illness without photo or video documentation is foolish, but maybe the description will be enough for someone to recognize. In the past year that this tank was running with this fish, I have lost 3 or 4 fish in the same manner. Given that the fish were juvenile...

Luckily tetra are low bioload fish. I would just up your water changes to every 4 days and add some floating plants to help leach out nitrates faster If you do not want to do this for the rest of the tank existence, get a new tank :) I would move the insufficient-number corydoras that also...
