This is 2 buckets of water, you can fill the aquarium only 16 L, minus objects & gravel, it's perhaps 12 L of water, that's not normal, and the fishes can't turn round their own's back, the neons under such conditions will become one day bad pirahnas, c'est pas du tout possible ca in a long term.

Surely a good idea with the vinegar but I had once a very old 200 L with the same issue and I believe it's impossible getting ride of it.

Hello Miffyiscute4 and happy new year, is this right you are speaking of 20 litres and not 20 gallons? If you have litres, you cannot by no means keep these fishes in a realistic way, it's impossible I'd say, it's much too little.

Just to inform you mon ami that the trouble with the chocolate guramis already began, they really don't like any trouble at all with other fishes but are also quite agressive to each other, is so a provervbal fish of the most dificcult to hold, so if you want to have a happily aquarist's life...

Bon courage mon ami, that's life sometimes unfortunately.

That was already the first fish school day you've well absolved, I can only recommend you to be a stranger too, there is nothing better, and anyway when it occurs you to be an stranger don't forget very often it's not funny having to learn geography, and all you need in order to become a fish...

Welcome to this forum Pecemon.

Hello and have much joy with some beautiful cichlids with personality!

Hello and merry Christmas.

Welcome Weimargirl01, I'd recommend you to have at home some frozen food, you should grant to the fish to live like real persons and give them diverse and fresh food, not always the same sort of pellets or some flakes etc, you will see and feel the difference at the fishes. The frozen food...

Welcome under the water, you are not the first!

Welcome Marz, I'm also from Europe, well now there are surely two of us here.

Thank you @AbbeysDad, it's not too late to wish you and everybody here all the best, especially for the beginning year. Feliz navidad a todos.

Mais non ma chère Jenny I wont take offence of nothing but I can definetily say to you that there is the supranatural and the unbelievable on this earth, everyone is going to have their especial experiences and they are really different, even what I have seen I couldn't tell you what it is, but...

Oui mein grosser Häuptling but life is too short and I'd not be able to realize no one of the suggestions you gave me and no book could be writen by a chicken or something similar, I had to learn that life doesn't always be what it appears to be but unfortunately I've no answers I can trust, one...

Welcome Jas76! And well done!

Yes I heard the Jesuits had been there in california but the old indians inhabitants were death altogether anyway, or almost, the world is a crazy place and as it seems there should be some influences even from remote extraterrestrial times all over the world, creatures from out there that will...

I heard the Matrix from seachem should be the best for denitrifying bacteria, i noted after the removal of the guppies females better conditions in general and the plants have brilliant colors and developpe well all the time, in the sand aren't no mud or sediments at all and the eels are going...

Alors ca est tout encore dans les nuages? Nothing heard? Something online? Yo soy un comanche en mi corazón y de aprendiz de brujería un apache de profesión (lo sabe el Gran Espíritu).

The image of the end of the day, im content with my swarm and the lot of shrimp

Hallo JuiceBox52 from nowhere and welcome back! You have lotsa tanks!

Merci Jenny, today i fished 36 Corydoras hastatus i've added to the 11 in the eheim 150 what is a swarm of 47, my biggest aquarium fish swarm ever.

Because the old crystal 300 l/h monster filterbox from Tetra went kaputt 2 weeks ago i had to take my reserve, an old tetratec interior that makes 800 L/h and it's much better now. I took all of the blue dream neocaridina and i could count some 80 of them but it will be it, they are all gone to...

I needed to say you some little about the right filtration in freshwater tanks, in all of my currently four from 20 till 150 (including 30 and 60) and they are all "the nanos" untill this 150L giant nano from eheim that can be used for salted water, i ve seen that the mechanical filtration with...

Cichlides should remain cichlides, only for the giant tank category, i can't afford them but i find them full interesting and beauty, most of them are rough predators. Crenicara filamentosa or some apistogramma for my possibilities

It would be interesting to know how many litres does your aquarium have, for a betta you should have room for him to get calme if he wants, you could try some beautiful bush of java moss and some floating plants like hornwort, there are lots of plants, in adition you should consider to have the...

In a very old book from Gunther Sterba "Aquarienkunde in zwei Bände" from the sixties this fish is shown as Chiclasoma Biocellatum and does lives in the Amazonian main river and in Rio Negro as well, nowadays names changed quite as for Cichlasoma and in the 60es there was no Jack Dempsey, which...

If i may ask, do you want to keep living plants later? And have you got some particular fish in your mind to grow there?

I do mean the colors are out of a French controversial painting, seem to be strong and appealling, taking your total attention, and besides these results should be deadly for many fish, or I'm not right? (I really don't understand nothing sorry).

I have been keeping 4 of the assesines in a 60L shrimp tank with a monster amount of melanoides snails, after more than 2 months they don't have changed the big amount of melanoides, perhaps tween 500 or 1000 individuals, at least, but eliminated planorbis.

Looks dangereous.

A little time before fish come in you should have had the light on and some plants in the tank, I'm not right? That depends on your preferences of course, I always prefer to have plants testing artificial light and seeing the results, most easy to cultivate plants.

I'm also looking for denitrifying bacteria in my filters, but to my capacities it seems to be impossible to realize. As I have read long time ago for both nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria to do their work they should have a very slow water circulation through the filter media, a big sump...
