Oh that's great. 8 is ok! They haven't spawned yet but that would be really cool. I'm diluting the salt out.

I'll just keep diluting the salt out. I missed a water change yesterday. Tetras are doing great. I hope the salt level is acceptable. It hasn't been 4 weeks. I'm so hot and sweating it's unbearable. I can't do a water change now. Hope I can later if I'm not too tired.

Oh yeah I forgot. Sure I'll post a video thank you

It's very frustrating when the filter doesn't go when I turn it off and turn it on again

Where did the other 2 go?

I have 8 tetras in a 70 litre tank. I have java fern and floating plants. Two male tetras were chasing a female around. I have only 8 when I used to have 10. They are also flitting around the tank super fast. I remember that I was supposed to look out for aggression. I have been syphoning the...

I've taken another 20 litres out and replaced it with clean dechlorinated water

I've taken out about 8 litres for 2 days and today I have taken out first 8 litres and couple hours later another bucket 10 litres. I'm trying to speed it up without harming the fish

How do you suggest I dilute it? I was just going on what @Colin_T said

I am diluting out 10% for 1 week then 20% for another week then bigger water changes after that.

To be honest I don't know anything about cycling. I'm not sure what you mean by there is something wrong with my cycling. I thought I would have been cycled?

Do you think that there is something in the water that is killing the fish? I will really bash the nitrate testing bottle tomorrow and test again. It does seem strange to me that it was 0. The Cory passed away so I'll take the other one back and wait a while to get a few tetras and then ask on...

I'm just now diluting the salt from the tank slowly. Will try to catch the Cory I guess in a couple of weeks when the salt is less and take him to the local fish shop? I looked on seriously fish. Little bit complicated website

limnophilia sessiliflora, or some cryptocorynes. The first one never grows. I have to keep replacing it when it finishes surviving in 3 weeks or so. I looked at the cryptocorynes. They are $15 each. They look like java fern but I guess they grow in the gravel. I don't know if the light would be...

When I feed the cories is it ok to put a bit of novotab in the gravel? Or just feed all the fish bug bites or put a novo tab on the glass?

I'm considering this now. I think I'll keep the gravel substrate. I'll try something other than cories and rehome the remaining cory. I'll still have to wait now for taking the salt dilution process and then wait another two weeks before I get anything else. The tetras. I could maybe get a few...

The ammonia reads at between 0 and 0.25ppm. Its a bit more yellow than the last time I checked. Maybe it 0.20 The nitrite is 0. It's blue no mistaking it Looks like nitrate is 0 as well.

I think I will get this one. It's not the finest but I think it will be ok

Or the even finer grain

I'm at the local fish shop this is the sand I can see

I'll just post in this thread now.

Here is a photo of the floating plants

The tank is 24 degrees. I can change 4 buckets (maybe 4 1/2 at a stretch) I haven't checked ammonia, nitrites and nitrates but I will do

This is it this morning

I am worried about the sand. I can buy it but I really don't know how to put it in. My thinking is that I make a corner with sand as I have a large piece of wood that I can place sideways through half the tank. Sorry about jumping around on different posts

There is still salt in the tank. When I did the water change I replaced the salt. I'll leave the salt in the for the recommended time 2 weeks. But how should I do my water changes for the next two weeks or so. If I did 4 10litre buckets last night when should I do the next water change?

I'm not sure what else I can do

Yes

This Cory is not doing well. It can't get up to the surface and is just lying on the bottom of the tank. Should I take it out and put it in a bucket? Or just let it die in the tank?

Ok. I'll wait and I'd like to get the sand in there. I'll buy it and then I'll get back on here to get how to do it. The water changes are tricky.

Would it be ok to miss the gravel clean and just do a big water change. The gravel is clean and I have a sick fish and need to change the water and also add salt and gravel clean if I didn't have to do it would make it so much easier

I better do a water change tonight for 70% for the sick fish. I'll tell you what its hard work!!!!

It's been something I have been worried about. In the summer the tank gets very very warm, and in the afternoon gets some direct sunlight as the sun is going over. I actually think that the tank is in the wrong spot and maybe the heat and sun in the afternoon is getting too much. In saying that...
