You may need to repost that video, because it says it's private.

Ok sofro friend, I don't mean to be rude, but to answer your question simply, just no. That tank is overstocked. You add in no water changes for a month? The odds of survival in that kind of environment are very slim.

You two are so lucky! Percy doesn't show a sign of interest in his invertebrate tank mate.

Oh cool. Any ideas on how to vacuum with a plant carpet?

Thanks for the information. The current isn't very strong; it's only moderate. The filter is a corner sponge (there's one on each side), but I can't remember which brand. Percy can hover on the spot, so I assume it's good? Guess that rules out another possibility of his swimming behaviour. Do...

I did my weekly water change today. My water should have settled by tomorrow, when I should be conducting the water changes. I gave him live mosquito larvae for dinner, and while observing him, came to the conclusion that his pectoral fin behaviour might be because of the water flow? What do you...

Like everyone else has said, that tank is too small. Plants, snails or shrimp would be suitable, though I'm not 100% sure about the latter.

Hi everyone, this thread is going to be about my betta Percy. About five months ago, I was looking for a new betta, when I came across Percy. At the time, I was shopping for cat food, but seeing as I had a tank cycled and ready to go, I got him. Currently, he's in a 70l divided tank with another...

So wait, what exactly is this black water thing, and how are you supposed to do it? I keep hearing about it, and am interested.

Demeter's a very nice fish. I bet Demeter32 will love her.

What is your tank size and what are its inhabitants? If you are going away, you could always ask a friend or family member to come past and feed them, and possibly do the odd water change (though you may need to pay them for the trouble).

What's in there at the moment?

I didn't even notice. :D

Oh (lol). Didn't realise. Make sure to keep us posted about how the girls are going. Do you plan on adding more to the sorority?

Why did you say that? She is very clearly not ugly.

Nice. Where are the knew ones from? Also, I noticed that most are named after Greek deities, which is interesting. Why did you choose them, out of curiousity? Also, I know you did say this earlier, but I couldn't find the size of your tank, so how large is it?

You do realise he hasn't logged on in 3 years right?

If your tap water pH was that low, you wouldn't want to drink it.

You will need to research each of the species you listed at the start, and decide for yourself. The fish will need similar water parameters/temperatures to be put together, and as hobby5 said, you will want to spread out the levels where the fish are (so not have, say, all top dwellers).

Noice.

@Byron I saw this in one of my books.

I finally got around to making my bumblebee goby guide.

True. I wish they were easier to find. Guess they can't get enough of them. :lol:

There are two main things that concern me: You shouldn't do 100% water changes, as this will do more harm than good. Your will just be messing with your nitrogen cycle. 50% would be fine. Second, when using epsom salts, (Byron mentioned something like this in another thread) make sure they're...

Very nice and active fish. Love how she came up to say hello.

So, this is my first guide thingo, so this will probably be terrible. Please note, most of my info has comes from sources about Brachygobius xanthozona, with only a small amount from Brachygobius doriae, as well as from my own experience. Classification: Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata...

Nvm, I just remembered it was less than 100ppm.

You did cycle the new tank first right?

The floating plants filter the top light very well, which adds to the natural look of your tank. Looks great. Wish my tanks were as good. :lol:

Just wondering, what reading range would classify as 'soft'? Thanks.

My pH is at 7.8 and still going up, so I guess my kH is too high? What do you think I should do?

So would my TDS be too high?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not new to the hobby or to altering pH. In the past, I used pH up and down to do this, but now I have been told that this is the wrong way to do it. So how am I supposed to do this now? Thanks.

Hi, just realised I has a TDS tester that I had never used, and was wondering if someone could give me a simple explanation about it. What should it be at for bettas? Mine is at 134ppm. Thanks.

Noice plants.

Good idea. Will get that started later today and let you know the various results.

Geez, that's massive. Would he try to eat the other one? Also, can you get a video of her?
