    Need help with stocking - again

    I am terribly undecided. I recently moved some of my white cloud mountain minnows from one of my tank to another, and they look amazing there, but this left a hole for a new fish in a tank. and I am simply not sure what I want. Tank dimensions 110 cm x 40 cm x 45 cm, so it is roughly 150...

    Could someone please help me increase my chances of "accidental" breeding

    Hi So I have three fishtanks with three types of fish that are not that hard to breed and have bred for me in the past under slightly different conditions. I cannot fully replicate those conditions now, but would like to increase my chances of breeding in the tanks they are in at this moment. I...

    do normal heaters lose some efficiency over time???

    On the other hand, I have had my Eheim Jager 250, in my 95 gallon, always turned on to 25°C and it has been in there and running for about 11 years and it still is on the correct setting so it obviously still works. I dont also remember cleaning it :))) But my room is usually around 22°, the...

    My 'big' tank

    Two months after the replant, all seems ok. I started fertilizing a bit, the swords seem to not have died off. Pennywort, for the first time ever, didnt melt and die so that is a nice plus. The frogbit boomed too much. I scrub half the tank of floaters every two weeks and I could throw out...

    My 'big' tank

    I recently replanted, changed the substrate and added root tabs to all the swords. Before I never realy used fertilizer, now I have some "generic" one and I just guestimate the amount I add during water changes. The plants are now losing their leaves, some of them were newly purchased so they...

    My 'big' tank

    Yup, a lotus, even here they send leaves all the way to the surface (60cm) and you have to trim them. I bought one and all the others are it's offsprings which surprised me :)

    Not crazy about them ?

    Thank you, that is good to know However I dont think I will be able to get them here. I also saw the note Glasser has on them It is almost impossible to tell H. elachys from these other tetras apart on basis of the coloration. So imports of the species are always a mix, sometimes H. elachys is...

    Not crazy about them ?

    I am not a fan of the commercial livebearers, guppies primarily, cause... rape much? Messy, not that interesting body shape or behavior either, so no thanks. I had endlers and except the guppy hybird (yellow tiger) they were ok. I was planning on some Neoheterandria elegans or similar small...

    When to move otos back

    Ok otos and kuhlies are back in the tank, boy was that a lot of work to catch them, they werent this pale when I bought them. I had same issue with rummynose, but they colored back up within 15 minutes, so will watch the otos and kuhlis ( prone to ich) like a hawk. The palm "pod" developed a...

    When to move otos back

    I have almost decided on cherry barbs as they came across as the most live, fun, small and compatible ones, but I do not have them yet, so things can always change :) It is Limnobium laevigatum aka frogbit, it just got very large. But I started with normal size plants, you know the ones you...

    When to move otos back

    I like how it turned out, I still have two more plants to add in some ceramic pots and waiting for the palm "nut" to sink in, but otherwise yes. I wonder how the tank will do though, the substrate that may mix, the plants that may lose their emersed leaves, the plants that will or will not...

    When to move otos back

    Hi all. So I remade my 360l tank, which meant catching all the fish out. After some time I realized I have 5 otos left after the three years I have had them (though lets be real I started with more). I moved them to a prepared 10l box, which was full of brown algae, moss, floating plants, sponge...

    Best setup for corydoras

    Agree. I call them my lampions. They mostly just hover but i feed a lot of live and include them in the feeding and they are amazing hunting mosquitos, bbs or fruit flies

    Best setup for corydoras

    So the tank is finished. It is not just corydoras, it is slightly overstocked and for the funniest reason, except todays newest additions (paleatus), it houses all of my oldest fish that I currently have, all of them are around 3 years old, even the bamboo shrimp. The only older thing I have...

    Best setup for corydoras

    My heart is doing a Billy Idol impression - With a rebel yell she cried MORE MORE MORE :))) More tanks, more fish (recently more dogs idea came up) just more ! I will go for more corydras, I can always move them back to the 360l which I am remaking and can do the apistogramma later. As for...

    Best setup for corydoras

    So. The tank was cycled, the wood is there, the leaves are there, but there is also a problem. I am slowly working on tearing down the big tank to remake, but I managed to catch my corydoras (and one ember tetra, but not the others) in a bottle trap and I have only 4 sterbais left and the one...

    55g Himalayan Foothills Paludarium

    Same here, I also dose bacter are to not only shrimp tanks but also tank with otto's/garra. Didn't help with my sewellia though and I fed them too, even repashy :) Glad I am not the only one with the badis issue. I have a possible pair in a 25 liter tank and guess what. I almost never see them :)

    55g Himalayan Foothills Paludarium

    How are your badis? I am desperately trying to onload 2 of my males, as they are hard to keep with anything else, especially each other, and are a tad disapointing to me. But pretty. Including a picture BTW I lost 6 hillstream loaches in a tank that I thought was perfect for them, ranging from...
