Cool tank! Mine has some algae that spreads like wildfire too, they dwell on the amazon frogbit’s roots.. Btw how do you get different light colors?

Yea i bet a very few people know about this. This doesnt sound familiar at all. But yeah, those parasites are ruining the entire tank. Theyre about 1 cm in size and have those “hairs” on the entire body, just like the caterpillars youll find on non-aquatic plants. It still confuses me until...

Much appreciated! Thank you!

Hello anyone?

Nice setup man! It’s hard to find such good branches here. My tank used to be heavily planted also, but once there were “green caterpillars”, they ate up all my plant so I got rid of them all! :byebye:

Nice set!

I see.. but can i do it on purpose if i want to eliminate the algae thats sticking on my driftwood? Or is it just fine to brush them in the tank water? I mean, will the algae come back faster?

Occasionally i’d change 50% of the water once every 2 weeks and take out all the driftwoods and soak them in tap water, then vacuum the debris from the gravel. Is this okay? The frogbits are much more healthier when i got them delivered to me months ago, now they have yellowish leaves, some are...

Hi guys, ive been using Tetra Pleco Tablets and Hikari Algae Wafers recently. Twice a day, in the morning/afternoon (somewhere between 8-12) and before i go to sleep at night like around 23/00 Questions are, which one is better? And does it cause algae growth? Because in my tank, green hair...

Dont worry, it’s still safe, nice setup!

This is my 200 l / 50 g blackwater tank t There’s a feast going on after i throw in an algae tablet, my kuhlis love it soooo much. I call the event “The Kuhli Conference” lol so there’s a DIY LED bar on top of the tank (hidden LED stripes), and a rail for 3 LEDspotlights, and a fan on the...

Nice source man!

Well you can just put a driftwood and say you have no idea why it’s getting black :rofl:

Wow nice setup man! Really love the bowfront as well! I used some leaf litters too but they always end up breaking down to small debris that are a little bit hard to get rid of :no:

Thanks mate!

Thanks! Looking forward to seeing their tank here :D:kewlpics:

Thanks for the reply, I’ll try to get one!

Hello guys, if you have a blackwater fishtank, you can share it here, the more detail the better! Also if there’s any question, I think we can discuss together with other members as well. Starting from me, thank you! :D

Yep i think so. But i asked about this red spot thingy to my neighbor, he has TONS of guppies in his tanks without using any chiller/fan and he succeed in breeding them. he answered that the guppy in such condition, needs a warmer temperature to heal faster, is this correct?

Nope. Maximum difference is 1 degree C. Theyre both constantly at 28-30 C. It’s tropical area here so i dont use any heater, if it gets too hot (to 32 C) i turn the fan on to keep it stable. But most of the times, theyre both at the same temp.

Dude. Wow. I just searched for the API kit that you mean, it costs around USD 55 here . Do you have any idea how long it can be used if i test the water parameter once a week?

Thanks for your reply,mate. When i had them all at my smaller tank (clearwater) they seemed not as active as they do in this blackwater tank tho, some of them often lied on the bottom and hid a lot. I was thinking that it could be happier for them to join a large community, as some of them were...

this is the pic that pretty much resembles what my guppy experienced before. so this is the chronology: I had 2 identical guppies with brilliant navy tails, they were pretty active and i could see through their tail when it was pierced by the light, very beautiful dark blue in gradient. one day...

The tank started in june 1st and I got all the bacteria starter and driftwoods. After 2 weeks i added the fishes gradually, and everyone was okay, no sign of massive deaths at once. Ive been changing 50% of water every 2 weeks using distilled water. I’d be better searching for the kit right now!

Too bad i didnt have the chance to get the pic, but when i found the dead one, the tail seemed more “infected” by the red spot, ill try to search for a pic in the internet that resembles the condition of my guppy tho, thanks for the answer!

Im sorry but i dont have any kit yet, im about to get one. Is there any kit that able to test all parameters in one package; water hardness, ammonia & nitrate level, and acidity?

Hello, everyone, I’m new to this forum, so please dont be harsh to me, as I’m still learning new things i havent known before I have a 200 l / 50 g blackwater tank, there are: 9 kuhli loaches 7 ottos 7 african dwarf frogs 8 sterba corys 8 guppies (which the 2 of them were dead several days...
