    Suicidal clown loaches

    @Slaphppy7 NO nitrites so very probably no amonnia. We should say ammonium as pH is a little low.

    Suicidal clown loaches

    Way to high. I advice below 5. Or better zero. Why 0 ? Coz it gives "you" a margin of safety. Guppies need and prefer a water that is the opposite of Clown loach's..... just sayin' More live plants and less artificial deco would be better ;) You should lower nitrates until they reach 5 and...

    How much do you pay for fish?

    Hi :) I always give priority to quality over price. €5 per juvenile Cardinal Tetra (Paracheirodon axelrodi). I kept them almost 6 years.

    Suicidal clown loaches

    Hello :) 250 liters for 4 clown loaches that will reach 30 cm long (maybe even more) is way too small. It is high stress due to overcrowding probably emphasised if they live with tank mates. Can you provide water parameters in numbers ? And pictures of your tank ...

    Lead weights for plants

    In fact, I don't care if there is a little, a lot, or no lead at all, when in doubt I don't use it. It is the best way to be sure😁

    Lead weights for plants

    As lead is a poisonous metal, "usually" is way too imprecise to me. In doubt remove any of them. We also use "weight" to stabilise plants but made of terra cotta.

    Nerite snails (Algae)

    Hey there :) From time to time mine go for a stroll.... they roam around for a while, while feeding then just stop for a few days. This may be the case so in a day he will be up and "running" again. I never lost my Nerite from their strolls.

    Can someone help identify cause of bloated stomach on female betta?

    Can someone help identify cause of bloated stomach on female betta?

    Haha not at all but I learnt from my mistakes. Possible especially if you didn't add floating plants. Sororities ? It can work but be carefull if once you must put one in hospital tank then reput it with the others, it will be considered an intruder and harassed even attacked. Harem ? I know...

Incidentally, I'm pretty sure you will not like to read the following, but... your tank is overcrowded, the Betta (Siamese Fighting Fish) is not made for a community tank. It must live alone...

    Hey there, Just read on a french forum that (here please, sit comfy), it is possible to house (well seated?) 80 to 100 Danio margaritatus (aka Celestial Pearl Danio aka Galaxy rasbora) in a 96 liters/21 gal, sizing 23 x 16 x 16 inches being 60 x 40 x 40 cm...... Yeah you're reading it right ...

    I use both a pH-meter and JBL© drop test pH 6 to 7.6 How about hardness and alkalinity ?

    Tank disease?

    As it disappeares when out of the water makes me think of a mycosis. How is doing your fish ?
