yeah yeah definalty, I've personally never had success with it and i known because of the breeding of bettas they can be a little bit more sensitive. You can try certiang things out, but on a small fish it can be a bit tickier

Unfortunately, if it is a swimbladder problem there isn't really all that much that can be done to help/ fix it. Its a real shame sorry

I may be too late but just be carful when choosing snails some of them do prefer hard water with out it you may run in to shell problems

ah ok that's fair, it was just something i saw in a documentory

most are though

not all bettas are soft water

Umm ok ill post one of mine I guess I sometimes think wild-caught fish is ok in certain situations, in lots of places where fish are wild court the area is rather poor. Allowing wild court permits and regulating the catch can provide income to people that have very few other options. Also, in...

welcome to the forum good to hear you have learnt a lot and still loving it

No sorry only have nano tank, It may take a little while to find someone to buy them people with un stocked tank looking for a large amount of fish that your selling may be few and far between

I had this problem, I just removed the moss and baked the wood it was on, it took over my tank really quickly and killed everything, you could try removing the moss and then thoroughly washing it in water or keep the wood its on in a humid box this should keep the moss alive but no water might...

So cute

Ah yeah I was going to say a 350 litre for £25 I’ll be right in my car for that price haha

Wait your selling the whole tank for 25 pounds or the fish

I dont mind some extra work to keep up water conditions, i havnt got may tank so im spending more time makeing the ones i have look great

oh yeah I like that idea maybe a pair of endlers or a small group of CPDs thats a really nice idea

umm yeah I like rasboras but I'm not sure there are any hard water ones well not ones that I've found

ahh yeah my mistake

Hello So if anyone has seen my last threads, I've had a problem with stocking my tank due to my hard water. I could not find a fish I liked that I could keep. Then I found Betta Mahachaiensis which naturally come from freshwater but also brackish water so like harder water compared to the rest...

Youll need root tabs anyway as sand doesn't have any nutrients so the plant won't grow all that well without fertilisation, as far as anchoring you could try attaching it to rock

you can also do it in a fine food grade sive and a bowl but it will take longer

Ok, I had this with my pond, I added a large amount of sand to the bottom and had to wash it all. what i did and a way that works really well is dump some of your sand in to a bucket (I recommend doing it in stages in order to not over flow the bucket). once you have some sand in the bucket put...

Hey all so, over the last few months, I have been, creating a nano aquarium. It's a 7-gallon tank/26-litre tank. It measures 40 cm long, 26 cm is deep and 25 cm tall. my ph is 6.5-7.2 though it can change if i add driftwood or tannis but on average its around that my KH is 220 my GH is 259 ppm...

yeah ive seen these before, i think there quite intresting but im not usre they have the personality im looking for in a tank inhabitant. they are still really cool for super small tanks

2 is pearl weed i think 4 is a type of ludwigia

yeah i currently have a single nertie snail which is nice

yeah yeah ill look at endlers, I've kept livebearer for so long now i was ready to move on. Never kept Endlers but guppies.

my tank is small which is a problem its a 26 litre/7-gallon tank dimensions being 40 long 26 wide and 25 tall its really hard to find a hard water species that so small most micro fish or things like bettas are soft water

yeah ok, not likely the sound of going to buy RO water every time in need to top up or do a water change ill probably look into hard water fish I was going to keep wild bettas but am not anymore because of the water difference Yeah ill take you up on that offer what are some good hard water...

Ok just checked The level of calcium carbonate in your water zone is 259 ppm DH 14.5

This is my own test, I have Thames water as my water company and the information is nowhere on their website (well not that I can find at least) so I had to test myself. I know the south-east is a bit notorious for hard water, all the taps in my house is covered in lime scale

Hi there I was wondering if there are ways of keeping soft water fish in hard water areas. my waters parameters are: my pH is 6.2-7.0 depending on tank set-up my GH is 120 my KH is 220 as you can see my water is quite hard and I've heard that GH doesn't change much in a tank I wanted to get...

Yeeasessss it’s amazing

It’s Java moss but a big ball of it

Welcome

1: I've kept Cherry shrimp nice colour 2: on and off about 2 years 3: I now keep the shrimp in a heavily planted ecosphere 1.5 gallon 4: hornwort, java moss, ludwigia repens 5: no just the shrimp and a few bladder snails 6: well there are lots of algae and biofilm in the tank, on top of that a...

ahhh interesting well it's still a beautiful animal

Yeah sorry about that I’ve tried carpet before with no co2 hoping for the best results and it’s not ended well

Yeah your right I think it may be some type of guppy I haven’t kept guppies in a while but it looks like a normal female guppy to me no idea why the shop sold it to you as a neon tetra I wouldn’t go to that shop anymore

Ummm well it’s a yes and a no, they may grow in the tank but not create a full carpet. If you plant either there not going to be as hard as something like baby tears and they may not die but they won’t spread fast enough to form a full carpet. Unless you buy loads and creat a carpet from tissue...

oh side note full cargets can be really hard to achieve with out co2 jave moss on a rock can make a nice carpet effect though
