:( I don’t think he should give up on him yet! I’ve seen DGs fight and come back from worse

Oh sorry guys I had apple snails they just demolished my plants lol! I have a Nerite now and I think he just nibble on the algae

Thanks!!! I know I know I have algae in my shrimp tank but I think they like to eat it so I leave it be LOL!!! My HOB filters go down a bit below and I get more surface agitation with there being a bit of a gap for my fish to get more oxygen in the water! Also my lights in the tank #1 clip onto...

Hi all! I’ve recently gotten back into fish keeping. Had a few tanks years ago but had to get rid of them when I moved out into my own place (still kept some guppies and a beta tho) I’ve been fish keeping (round two) for a little over a year now again and I feel like I put these tanks together...

Hi did this guy get better?!

These can also eat plants so I would suggest not in a walstad tank since you’ll be needing the plants to keep the balance

Omg my LFS has like 10 tanks and their a chain store ??? would kill for a LFS like these ones!!!!!!

Oh sorry!! And that’s awesome I just clicked on I didn’t see they were 7 pages of replies that go back that far!!! that’s amazing good for you!! Happy you got a job and hopefully you’re liking it!!

Hi, I would say this guy isn’t actually too far gone! He would be if it from a hospital tank or if you can get a 5$ breeder net so separate him from the rest of the fish while he heals up. This guy either has bites and/or a bacterial infection where his scales have been pulled out. Dwarf...

Hi, where do you live? I don’t need like a city but like are you Canadian or American? What State/Province do you live in? If you go into a chain fish store like Petsmart or Mr.Pets etc you can just ask for them to email you an application and they will usually just take down your information on...

He is the cutest I love these guys lol!!!!! ?

Yes no!!!! I am not looking to have another three spot as I’ve had some in the past (like six years ago) and they just constantly fought and attacked one another however that is what is in his tank and since I was looking at another species gourami (the honeys which are more timid ive found with...

Hmmm okay! I know you are very VERY experienced (especially compared to me lol) I just keep hearing different things about what temp Blue rams need to be at! My LFS owner Bradley has a really cool display tank of their own and they have six or seven of them in a huge community tank at 78° with...

I only have a pair of honeys (and I am down to 7 corys as I gifted one to someone who only had three juulis in their tank which I didn’t think was enough lol) and aquadvisor shows I’d be okay adding one more honey and two blue rams I have extra filtration in my HOB but if you guys don’t think...

Yes I love that idea! Might have to add some to my tank!! I have a 26 gal with 8 corys, 3 kuhli loaches and some honeys I’ll have to add more honeys and get some blue rams in there too that will look amazing! I’ve just been nervous to over stock! I have an adjustable HOB filter which has been...

Just curious how big is this tank? I’d love to add some blue rams to my tank but I don’t have as many honeys... but would LOVE to add more

Hi! Newb here too as I defiantly don’t consider myself an expert like so many of the ppl on here with their years and years of experience... but plants are sort of my specialty as I own 200+ Aquatic and tropical plants in my house and greenhouse lol! How long has the tank been set up? Have the...

Welcome! Sounds like a good set up!

I would just try and monitor the water as best as you can, see how the ammonia/nitrite/nitrate levels are and go from there. If you need to do daily water changes of 50% to keep the ammonia nitrite and nitrate below .25 ppm it’s probably your best bet to just do that and add bacteria to the...

If that’s a way to fast track your cycle it’s not likely your fish will do very well as the cycle has not actually been started you just added the bacteria to start the cycle

I have retested the tank and again the test tube has gone PUPLE after yet another 50% water change. I’ve decided to evacuate the kuhli loaches (if I can find them) into my shrimp and tetra tank for now and will put the corys and my Gouramis into my hospital tank(pretty small but will do for now...

Possibly although I usually wash it out pretty thoroughly... I tested against my tap water and it shows 0 so I am once again testing against the tank water and hopefully it shows lower or I may need to set up a hospital tank until I get to the bottom of this

I just bought it from a chain store about a month ago... says ten expiration date is 01/2026

Okay lots to unpack... for starters in a 10 gal you should keep only 1 gourami (dwarf, three spot) or a couple of the smaller breeds (sparkling, honey, etc) Gouramis prefer softer water at a temp ranging between 74-82° F from my understanding right in the middle is best. However mollies and live...

Hi all, not sure if this is an emergency or not since I don’t actually think my fish are in danger... I’ve been testing my water with the API freshwater master kit (the liquid one) and yesterday I did my second water change of the week at 30-40% somewhere between there and first thing this...

Looks good so far!! Water has cleared up probably settles on the bottom nicely for those plants! They’ll grow out and make your tank look like a jungle in no time! Can’t wait to see the end result and I’ll make sure I get a strainer before I start rinsing my soil lol!!!!

What is the temp of the water currently? If it’s already at 24° or higher it shouldn’t turn on

I googled white fuzzy stuff in tank and all these terrifying videos came up about bacterial infections and this was my quarantine tank so I panicked lol! Thanks!

Ok I got a bunch of cherry shrimp from a LFS and added them to my 10gal with about a dozen neon tetras. Things started out fine but they gave me an ornament with some Java moss that was in the tank with the shrimp so they would feel more at home... very sweet of them right? Maybe not lol...

Yes adding that root tab and removing that wool will defiantly help the plant (now plants LOL) to get a better footing in the sand and grow better stronger roots!

That might also be why your plant is dying back, it is just adjusting to its new environment with sand as substrate there’s less nutrients so it will focus more on absorbing from the water column than the ground So I wouldn’t say you’re killing it, will actually probably grow back thicker and...

Yes I would say defiantly salvageable! I’m not sure how long you’ve had this plant, but typically these plants are grown at the farms out of the water so the leaves grow rounded. After you’ve put them into your tank they’ll melt back and kill off all the older leaves that have grown rounded as...

Wow this is really exciting, I would love to try doing something like this but I’m still very VERY new to keeping fish so I’m starting with the basics... Can’t wait to follow along and possibly start my own ?
