Does she have the name sarah73 Also? Lol cause that is me.

Wait who are You?:p

Depends on the type of plants.

You can always add a light layer of gravel and that should keep all of the plants down.

How is the contaminated siphon doing?

Didn't realize that sorry. Ignore me then.

Wait is the OP going to get clown loaches? Thought he wasn't? Also SAE get 6-8 inches. They eat algae so I hope the OP doesn't have a new tank. I don't know what the op is getting. OP tell us what you want to stock with/fish plans and then we can help

Weather loaches are fine. As long as the OP doesn't have small fish.

Weather loaches are capable with other fish. Though I was concerned about the butterfly fish as they would likely eat the smaller fish.

Good luck!

Hmm ok...you can get one and try it, but I can't guarantee nothing.

They actually are fine in groups of 5 or 6. Believe it or not. Tbh I don't know where you are going to get these butterfly fish as they aren't common in pet stores.

No what is the ammonia for the water you add to the tank??!! Black widow?

Yes I know prime is just used to cover for the fish. I'm just saying what he can do to protect his fish while he figures things out.

You need a few weather loaches. Like 6. But they have a specific diet. They eat snails as well! You need to get a least 6 African butterfly fish as well.

Yay congrats! I just say 15 gallon minimum for beginners. I have 6-7 pygmy corydoras in my 10 gallon as well.

What are the water parameters for the water that you add to the tank? And yes agree with @Byron . We need to know exact parameters. Also what kind of "tiny fish" do you Have? Neons? Guppies?

No. Weather loaches are completely different. Hillistream loach is also called butterfly pleco.

Erm....just a little over feeding. Really as you feed your fish, you should feel when you had fed enough verus not fee ding enough. Just an instinct really. I have over 100 corydoras in my possession. Have 15-20 in a 10 gallon (Yes I'm a breeder), 30 in a 60 gallon. And 40 fry in a 2.5 gallon...

Have you tested your water you are adding to the tank? Add prime.

The minimium for dwarf corydoras is 15 gallons. I have a mix of sand and gravel. The barbels are sharp and perfect, so you don't ONLY need sand. Sharp gravel is a no no for cories. Add more neons as you can't really add anything else in there. No beta....but if you switch the neons out for...

No hillistream loach. They need very fast moving water which gourami's need slow moving water. Next pearl gourami's need to be in pairs or groups.

I was gonna say I easily did it with my 60 gallon. And I have a water soften. I was gonna also say that you can always add prime. As for the clamp fin... could be many different things. Stressed, got an infection, immune system is weak, etc.

Yay! So glad to hear!

Do you have any ice? Got an idea! Put ice cubes in the tank. Easy as pie and brings the temp down quickly! As for the angel, are the fins clamped?

Yay congrats! As for the white spot is it fuzzy? Does it look like cotton? They could just be his natural colors showing.

I'm not blaming you at all. As for turning the temp up two degrees every two hours, it isn't suppose to go that quick. Turn it up one degree everyday slowly. Hmm desert, so do you have any fans to put over the water?

The things you gotta worry about are hydra, leeches, dragonfly larvae, etc.

Just watch her. Unless you like getting free snacks?

I need to go. Good luck! I'll be back on later. If there is something urgent you need, just mention me and I'll pop up.

Lol! You gotta make sure she doesn't over feed too much as fish will start to die from ammonia poisoning, bloat, etc.

Your fish will gladly make a meal put of them. Put them back in with your fish! Yummie snacks.

They are completely harmless. Look up copepods.

How much do you feed your fish? Does your fish eat all of the food? They are there just to eat extra leftovers along with algae.

What about them though?

Oh yes I know what those things are. Your fish will gladly make a snack out of them they are totally harmless to fish. They just eat food that others don't eat.

And leeches come from plants that aren't washed.

Oh sounds like you are talking about planaria! Lol they are harmless. Just means you are overfeeding some. They are just flatworms. Or are you talking about the little white things that look like tiny Cyclops?

Hahaha well welcome to the expensive keeping of fish! And you are very welcome:)

The snails ? I see leeches and snails. Could be wrong about the leeches unless I got a closer look. What about them Though? No it won't harm snails or shrimp.
