The honey gourami is a top dweller, you've got neons for the middle, so a bottom dweller would be a good idea.   Catfish are the obvious candidate, but you need to ensure that you don't overstock too much. If you wanted to take Munroco's suggestion, it would be easy to do so, as cories need to...

Mucking about with pH level is not a good idea.   First, you want a nice high pH for growing bacteria, but even when the tank is cycled, it's far better to choose fish which suit your pH, rather than choosing a pH to suit your fish. Even then, many "low pH" fish will work just fine in a high pH...

Nice to see you back on the forum, OM.

  There's always one who's deliberately awkward......

Me......

Going back to the 12 days of Christmas - does the person get all the milk that the maids were a'milking? That would be more gifts. And I reckon that the pear trees should be counted separately, since they are not permanently attached to the aforementioned partridges.

No, you're not.

  Agreed.

  I listen to a local radio station, (it tends to focus on events within a 30 miles radius) and it is the lead story on there.   I feel for all the hostages, and hope that they aren't harmed. What I absolutely love is  "#Illridewithyou" - non-Muslim Aussies offering to travel on public transport...

  And very much also to Sean Abbott (the bowler of the ball). I truly hope he has the inner strength to continue to play. By all accounts, Phillip Hughes would not have wanted Abbott to quit.

I am selling all my old John Lennon memorabilia online at the moment.   Imagine all the PayPal. It's Ebay if you try.

  The helmet didn't do Phillip Hughes much good though.  :-( And that was "only" cricket.   RIP

Happy Thanksgiving to all my American friends.

  Such a simple explanation, thank you, kind sir. Does anyone know whether Mr Odell Beckham Jnr wipes both hands, or just the one?   (And when did he change his name from Brooklyn?)

Right, then, Stateside Cousins, please explain something to me about American Football players - why do they have what looks like a little towel, such as I would find on the bar of my local pub, hanging down from their rears?

  Oh dear, I think you need to be disqualified. That isn't a useless fact. It's not even a fact.   http://qi.com/infocloud/knees http://www.krugerpark.co.za/africa_elephant.html   As with ALL quadrupeds, the elephant has knees on the rear legs. On the front legs, the joints halfway up its legs...

  Sorry, old chap.

  Just to add, in my experience, this behaviour isn't exclusive to male mollies. As it goes, I've had more aggressive female mollies than males - including females that would attack males. Mollies are just nasty fish on the whole, so the bigger group size, the better, assuming you have the room...

It does look good, I must say, but the level rose quite a bit from day 10's 0ppm, so I would give it another snack dose of ammonia, and see what the nitrite reading does then.

OY! Eagles told you to raise your game.

  That's a new one on me.   As Nic says, the bacteria live pretty much everywhere, not just the gravel - and in any case, they cling on pretty darn tight, so, IMHO, you lose negligible numbers of bacteria when you vaccuum - and that's backed up by what you've seen in practice.

This is an issue that has been around for a while. It seems that it only manifests itself if you try to come here from a Google link. There is an issue with a file somewhere, and with the number of files there are on the site server, it takes a while to find the hack. It may also be a file (such...

So, if it's inside your house, then it's not their fault, so you won't get a refund.

Not a game I play, although my boys do. I used to play Hay Day (by the same company).

Now there's an interesting question. If the fish is completely blind, does it know he's not in a shoal?

That is a good compromise, Deano.

Thanks to the last 3 posters for adding their thoughts, however the thread was started in October 2013, and we haven't seen the OP online since January, therefore your advice to him will be somewhat wasted.   No more comments, please.

I agree with the lovely Mamashack, they don't look particularly squared off to me either.   Now, about this whole "breeding" & "letting nature takes its course" thing.   Livebearers have loads of fry for a reason. They take zero interest in rearing their offspring, and its often the parents that...

The "It'll adapt" thing is fine for softwater fish in hard water, but not hardwater fish in soft. Hardwater fish need the dissolved minerals in hard water, but the minerals don't, in general, harm softwater fish that don't need them.   However, if the OP particularly wants to keep those species...

To be ideal for livebearers, you would want your pH to be up around 7.4 or perhaps a tad higher.   Yes, your idea would work fine, and yes the effect would diminish over time.

Just wanting to check - your ammonia readings of between 1 and 4 - I'm assuming this is measured in parts per million (ppm) - are there any fish in this tank? If not, I want to know why you are seeing ammonia.   Definitely don't put any fish in there at the moment (or any more if there are fish...

You would also need to tell us what model of Glofish(R) you have - they manufacture at least 3 different types of fish.   BTW, having seen your other thread, which says you have a 20l tank, none of the types of fish that Glofish(R) manufacture are suitable for a 20l tank.

  Some are, some aren't. There are a few games which are specific places (NYC only, London only, UK only), my favourite being Famous Places. Some are soooo easy (eg Stonehenge, since I live about 45mins drive from it), others being seriously difficult - I know that the view is of the Great Wall...

www.geoguessr.com   Jeepers, that's addictive.

    No, it's not. What made you think it was?

  Blimey, it's been a long time since I've seen you active on the forum.

It looks more like a physical cut to me, is there anything in the tank that the fish could have hurt itself on?   PS, Off topic, I know, but the gourami and the betta will probably end up fighting each other, they are both territorial surface-dwelling fish, unless you have plenty of tall plants...

  This is the key thing. THe fact that they know they have somwehere to hide, should a predator appear, gives them the confidence to come out of hiding.   If you have a bare tank, they will just hide in a corner.,

I started out with AquaOne, and still have one, albeit that mine have always been smaller tanks.   In my smaller tank, I have had to drill extra holes in the filter outflow in order to have sufficient capacity, otherwise the filter overflows. This had a knock-on effect in that some of the...
