Hi, everyone first time on TOTM. I went and post a thread my bad. So this is my 100 gallon with description below. Description of tank Dimensions of the tank is 4 feet x 2 feet x 2 feet and Volume of 100 Gallons. Built on the wall to capture Natural Sunlight during the day and Circulate Fresh...

Beautiful tank. Your tank fish and plants look fine. If your looking for a up-lift, you can use a power sand on top of the gravel substrate.

Thanks!. Well you could build it or go custom. 12mm glass would do for a 125 Long. I love building my own tanks and taking up those projects. The max size I have built is 48 x 18 x18. Custom tanks are expensive where I live if its imported. You could also do a DIY sump filter and place it above...

This I totally agree gona make a 10 to 12 feet long aquarium someday in the future. My 100 gallon is long enough to work as 3 sections of 35 gallon breeders with the soft & hard scspes as fish spawning sites. When all 3 spawning sections are insync it gives you action among the fish and Young...

It's definitely the latter in the 100g. It has transformed the bare bottom tank into a planted setup with schooling fish with alot of admires that come to my space. Noahm, you are 100% correct. I do have the means to do a new project however, I do have other plans set for the year and not...

Yes my wants for the year 2024 are my aspirations. Your Right I don't need it. I would be kidding my self as a fish hobbiest that I don't want an upgrade someday. The 100 gallon aquarium was earlier boxed with cichlids (green terrors, texas, oscars, jaguars, fire mouths, archers, catfish...

In the current context of maintaining a 100 gallon aquarium for nano fish contrast to (cichlids) was a reason I couldn't sustain my 100 gallon tank due to digging up of substrates and plants by cichlids. The softscapes that you invest your time, money and knowledge to make art is destroyed over...

Welcome to TFF! Beautiful aquascapes and aquarium setups.

You could try a penguin tetra.

Pencil fish are good community fish so you wouldn't have any headaches or stress with the others. Attache the rhizome of the plant with super glue, thread or fishline. If the other el nino has a rhizome follow the same and you will be saving the plants.

This probably spawning or mating happening as they lay their non adhesive eggs between sand and river stones. Mine are kept the same mix with whites and golden.

Golden whitecloud mountain minnows are top level hemi-stomus fish. They also feed on algae would be a good fit for your planted tank. Nice tank.

Interesting scape, plants looks healthy accept for the red on your alternanthera Reineckii which requires recommended CO2 and nutrients. I would agree on raising the light higher as your hardscape is obstructing photosynthesis and distribution of equal lumens of light.

Your tank looks great! just a few adjustments you need to change. Your java ferns should be attached to rock or driftwood. Leaving them buried under the substrate is gona rot your rhizome and kill your fern plant. With circulation of more disolved oxygen you would increase the chances of your...

Lol, we all end up there. Good luck with your tanks and cannon ball explanation.

Wow, I know the feeling when you lose them you just wana give up the hobby, Right. I agree 100% on getting your fish from recommended sellers to be on the safe side. I get mine from nano fish corner with acceptable grades. This is when I take a hollistic approach to the hobby, sometimes you...

@fishdin sorry your comment got deleted when replying. Thanks for your insights definitely will work on the light. Feel more convinced now that a few trusted members have shared their views. This is general citations and references I get from the Internet on rummynose tetras.

Do you quarantine the new group or only acclimatised them in the tank when you got them.

I Thanks for your information, Just googled pristella fish. Very beautiful looking tetra. My concern too was as you mentioned they taking time to assimilate. So I'm gona go with trial and error on expansion of the rummynose tetra schooling clan.

Thanks for a very informative description. I absolutely love the rummynose tetras as they always school. The holistic approach is in general my take on fish. I'm still observing rummynose tetras (my 6 pack) learning how they breed and how they inspire other fish to tag a long when they school...

Thanks, need to run to the nanofishcorner in piliyandala.

I got 6 of them 4 months back while they were smaller in body size however, presently at adolescent size males and females are ambiguous to the naked eye. I rate rummynose tetras as my No.1 schooling fish as they own the tank schooling around laying low to the substrate since they are...

100% agreed. I was ref: about 2 fish in a 5 gallon, definitely not more than 2 as per the recommended rule for thumb.

My pencil fish and whiteclouds are in a 100 gallon but they hardly school. Most of the time the pencilfish shoal near a log or a plant and whiteclouds shoal at the top middle of the tank close to the surface. These fish does fine with disolve oxygen circulation in a tank.

I got a school of 6 pencilfish they would fit in a 5 gallon tank. They got lateral lines on their bodies which draws your attention at any level when they school. Whitecloud mountain minnows would also be a good choice as they keep your tank free of algae. Your 5 gallon is definitely gona grow...

Hi, I have had my Alternanthera Reineckii variegated for a month and it suddenly stopped growing and losing its red color and veins on the leaves. My tank is a low tech eco-system and the plant started with all the root tab nutrients (macro and micro) however, it has started to lose stems and...

Picking the Right Starfire Tetra pair is the start for breeding Starfire Tetras in quarantined tanks. Males are small in size with pointed and long-narrow dorsal fins and more starfire-red on their caudal fins. Females are bigger and plump with a whit-line on the adipose fin between the dorsal...

Sometime people mistake it for a overdose of CO2. It's a job for the clean-up crew! Cawa bunga!

From my fish keeping experience replacing the old filter with a new filter without changes to your fish tank is fine. The new filter should be nitrofied after a week or 2. Keep the old filter media for backup just incase, since I don't know the fish you got.

Yes it showed media upload with links. Wondering if it's possible directly from my phone video.
