Welcome to the forum, nice looking tank :fish: :hi::fish:Thanks for posting a picture:snap: My biggest tank is a 55 gallon tank that I keep soft water tetras and cory in.

Having some floating plants will help with the stress, tetras like shade. I would also suggest no bright lights and places for them to hide. 10 gallons is small for 6 tetras so low light will help reduce stress.

Very nice looking fish, love the color :fish: :wub:

Hello, :fish: :hi: :fish: great looking tank, welcome to the forum

Byron, I am very happy to hear you are recovering, hope you feel much better soon. Hang in there.

Looks like the fish and shrimp are doing great. :cool:

Hello and welcome to the forum :fish: :hi: :fish:

Sorry about your fish, I have a shoal of 14 glowlight tetras, I hope no more of your fish get sick. I would be interested in the answer to your question too.

I mix RO water with my tap hard water and use a hard water meter pen to keep track of the ppm of the water. I currently buy my RO water in 5 gallon jugs but I am looking at a RO water system for my house.

I catch and release pest snails into my RES turtle tank. :devil: My turtles do not eat as well these day since I cut back on how much food I feed my fish there by reducing the number of pest snails.;)

I just added some more salvinia to my tetra tank, I have noticed as the floating plants thin out my tetra are more jumpy. Many small fish hide under floating plants out of fear for birds.

Nice looking pleco, my last pleco was a rescue and grew to 13 inches, even my cichlids left him alone.

Welcome to the forum, nice looking fish :fish: :hi: :fish:

Welcome to the forum :fish: :hi: :fish:

I agree with @Utar the corys will settle down, neon tetras like shade and will be stressed by bright light. They come from South American jungle streams with lots of shade. I have floating plants in my tetra tank to help shade them. One of their primary fears is birds so they like to stay under...

That is great news, glad he is recovering and feeling better

I changed my 55 gallon tetra tank over from gravel to sand and was happy with it. I also noticed my cory seem happier -at least they like to dig more.

Welcome to the forum :fish: :hi: :fish:

cut back on how much food you feed your fish, this will also help keep their numbers under control.

I used hydrogen peroxide in a spray bottle to kill the BBA and it worked. I had it on some anubias and spray the BBA let it stand for about 5 minutes and rise off or if it is bad just put the plant back into the tank. It took about 2 weeks to kill the BBA off. I had to spray about 3 times over...

I agree with the other members, you are over stocked. I would suggest the 55 gallon tank for the tetras they need the room to swim. I have a 55 gallon tetra tanks with several shoals of tetras and they make use of the entire tank swimming.

I also water down with RO. I premix the flourish and RO and add a little every other day to my tanks.

I agree with @FishFinatic77 they should be just fine.

You tank looks a little empty after all that. wish my frogbit was doing as well just a few new small leaf offshoots after almost a month. Nice to see your embers look healthy.

I test at tank temp but for hardness I have not noticed any difference when using my hardness test pen.

Nice start, are you planing on any driftwood or rocks?

Very nice woodwork for your tank, you did a great job. When my kids were young they liked helping me with my fish, that was many years ago. Now my 1 1/2 year old granddaughter comes over and likes watching my fish.

Cute family picture :snap: :wub:

I still have one tank with an UGF system which works great, you have to do a good vacuuming every other week or so but it really does the job. I have run UGF for years without problems. I have also sponge and HOB filters and prefer the sponge over the HOB filter because of it's simple design...

I agree with @utahfish, I had cichlids in a 55 gallon tank and once they set up their territories they do get aggressive. I had to remove all the other fish in the tank except a pleco which was left alone.

I used it in a spray bottle to kill some black beard algae on some anubias I bought and it worked. Takes a little time but it is gone.

@NCaquatics Thanks for posting pictures of your crayfish, she has a very pretty color and looks great. I dispose of all my dead plants and dead fish in my wife's garden.

I have two tanks that are natural but I still like my LOTR castle tank and it is my granddaughters favorite. I like to see well done decorated tanks, Old Roman or Greek buildings or castles are fine. Just as long as the tank is not full of all sorts of junk that looks like a yard sale.

Impressive, that took a lot of work:cool:

Great looking tank, since the fish are new I would suggest that you keep the lights down low to help relax then as they become familiar with their new surroundings.

Now that is humor, good going:rofl:
