Good. Then, try and see if your betta likes other fish or invertebrates. In case he does, i would recomend a shoal of harlequin rasboras, a few cherry shrimp and a shoal of kulhi loaches.

yes, it all depends on the bettas personality, some may be mellow enough to even allow another betta while other will kill any tank mate you try

105 liters are 28 gallons, not 23. As for fish, we would need to know your water's Ph, Gh, temperature, flow, and tannins content. but considering you have a betta I will assume that you have a slightly acidic to neutral tank with low to moderate hardness, 24 degrees celsius, really low mild...

yes! they are rather good, thanks to the detritus worms in my tank the methane bubbles were removed before they could fizzle away and get dissolved methane in my aquarium (I have methane bubbles since there are spots I cant gravel vac without removing plants or decor) and they also feed my guppy fry

L Literal flavor. Since if a fish it's large enough they Will eat the worm

yep then it is definitely a detritus worm, jus a larger more rare species

i mean detritus worms are a variety of tubifex worms so it may be a large detritus worm

maybe it is a large tubifex worm

at first I thought "oh this may be about a detritus worm" but after reading and seeing the pic I think that you sir have something no one in this forums has ever seen before, it kinda looks like an earthworm

that's what I thought was odd, I have far more sensitive species like otocinclus and the only ones dying are the guppies.

Yeah now let's just hope the 30 gallon arrives soon and that FedEx doesn't turn it into a jigsaw puzzle

I know it is. And i am in fact waiting for a 30 gallon tank to be shipped to My house for My Blue gourami and the goodea atripinnis, the pleco is also getting his own tank in a few more months.

Yep it was a faulty test strip, just did the test again 2 times to be safe and it came out at 25ppm nitrates.

Sure

It's a 10 gallon. My Ph is 7.5 I do 30% water changes twice a week I have 4 guppies now (not including the de dead ones), 3 assassin snails, 8 otocinclus, 1 bristlenose pleco, 1 goodea atripinnis and 2 Blue gourami, i am working on getting all the other fish their own tanks ay the moment, but...

The tank has bien set up for over a year now, i cycled it with plants and mature filter media from My backyard pond

Bus dorsal fin was still there You can't see it because it is sticked to his body, no i haven't noticed any fin nipping nor aggression

Here is a picture of todays victim, is there anything wrong with him?

I have bien doing water chances everytime a fish dies and i haven't seen any weird behaviour

my guppies are dying and I don't know why, I lose a guppy every 1 week to a month, I feed fresh cleaned vegetables, fish flakes, and live foods that I grow myself. I checked my parameters and there are no nitrites, nitrates, chlorine, or ammonia, they don't seem to have parasites or any other...

multiple plants grow like crazy and duckweed is one of them but its problem is that it is really hard to manage and it can die fairly easily thus producing detritus that in turn generate nutrients which is the opposite reason we want plants in the sump

yes, they do. Also, they hate currents. I breed my bristlenose in a 10 gallon and they are ok, the thing is that you can only keep a max of 2 fish.

bristlenose pleco

I mean if this was my project I would use a 20-gallon long tank for the plants apart from the sump and it would have a light to help the plants grow and I would use my plant mix (Salvinia natans, water lettuce, rotala rotundifolia, najas guadalupensis, Egeria densa, pearlweed, ludwigia repens...

I proposed water lettuce since it is an amazing nutrient eater but it can be as invasive and quick to breed as Salvinia if not more in some cases, still a worthy opponent in this battle for the best sump plants

Why don't You also make my experiment? If You read it you'll see that it doesn't have water parameters (Ph, Gh, Kh) because You are suposed to use the water with the parameters of your fishtank (in your case an alkaline hard water) to find the Best plants for YOUR specific situation, since the...

The problem with hornwort is that it tends to shed it's leaves and that makes a bigger bioload than the one it consumed and it creates it on a shorter amount of time.

African, North american or south american?

Sounds good, the more knowledge you have before experimenting the easier it will be to interpret the results to find the best plants for you. then do the experiment 3 times, one with high N levels, one with low N levels, and one were you mix the plants that performed the best in the high N with...

Yes, I am talking about diversity-stability, and even tho I love this theory I know that going only from written sources isn't viable so I am also talking from experience, not only in the aquarium but also in other areas like ponds and home-level agriculture. I have at the moment my read-eared...

Yes, think of it as a rainforest. The Salvinia is the canopy, the emersed part of rotala for example is the emergent layer, the najas are the understory and the green or brown algae that will inevitably grow on the bottom is the forest floor. And it would work just like one, as you'll see, the...

I have had experience with Salvinia and let me tell you they do reproduce like crazy and they do eat up a lot of nutrients, also they can survive in really low light conditions so it can be a good option, but I would also say to use najas guadalupensis as they also eat a lot of nutrients and...

saddled means they have eggs ready to be fertilized its called saddle because it looks like a horse saddle on the shrimp (the yellow spot)

As some of may know i have some Cherry shrimp on 5 gallon containers in my backyard and i am looking forward to buy some ghost shrimp. I thought that with the temperature being so low (10 degrees celsius) the shrimp would not reproduce, but it turns out that I was wrong and one of my shrimp is...

a list of all the freshwater puffers I know of that can live in 80 litters 1. pea puffer 2.amazon puffer 3. red-eye puffer 4.congo puffer 5.hairy puffer 6.green puffer 7.figure 8 puffer 8. Fang's Puffer 9.humpback puffer 10.arrowhead puffer Just keep in mind that some of these puffers will need...

no problem, he eats clams to help to wear down his teeth

pea puffer, amazon puffer, red-eye puffer, congo puffer just to give you a few examples of not so large puffers
