So its been a while, I only managed to move one set of cory eggs to the 20ltr and one set to my 150ltr before they decided to change where they were laying them and I haven't seen anymore since. Two have hatched and are growing well in the 150ltr, i have bought some bronze cories to keep them...

For the water cloudyness did you wash the sand before putting it in? Questions: - water is very cloudy, and wondering what I can use to clear up the water as best as possible? I've done many water changes but it doesn't seem to do much. I tried filter floss overnight and it doesnt seem to do...

Found even more cory eggs. I've decided to setup a old 20ltr tank i have from when i first got into fish keeping to try and hatch them in there. I've already got a heater for it. Will get a air filter for it either this weekend or next and start moving any eggs i find across to it. Will move the...

Found some more cory eggs, the feeding twice a day has prompted them to start breeding i think. I havent moved them across as i want to get rid of the planara in the other tank as it looks like they eat eggs and even fish, and the baby corys would be a easy target id say. So the plan is to dose...

Thanks for the info. I've been looking up info on how to get rid of them, i've never used medicine in my tanks before but would something like this work. https://www.amazon.com/Genchem-Planaria-Shrimp-Killer-Planted/dp/B07M683JK4/ref=as_li_ss_tl?tag=theaquariadise-20&s=gateway Or what other...

As per title, i have some cory eggs I moved to a tank that has some of these in them. I'd like to turn it into a grow out tank for the eggs if possible. Family Planariidae Danger: Harmless. How it gets into your tank: Plants, Water, Live food. Size: Generally ≤ 4mm Planaria are non-parasitic...

I found more Cory eggs last night, i accidently killed some as i was starting to push the suction cap back onto the glass and noticed some while stuff coming out before i stopped. So to try and keep more alive i moved them into my 150ltr tank as it only has a few rasboras in it right now. I...

Worked out my pre-filter has been blocking too much of the water flow, so got a piece of spare pipe and drilled a heap of holes in it. Put the pre-filter over and the flow is now back to normal as it can use all of the pre-filter to now suck water in instead of just the bottom. The Amazon Sword...

Eggs are gone this morning. The ones in the breeder box are also gone too but i cant see any little wrigglers in there (there are holes in the bottom though so i think they have dropped down. Hopefully some survive.

Eggs are still there and it looks like at least some of them have been fertilized :)

My Cory's are breeding. Woo-hoo. They choose the leaf that has the highest water flow in the whole tank. I've taken a fee of the eggs and put into a breeder box I have and left the rest on the leaf to see how they go. The leaf is so high and in the current that most of the fish never go up there...

Oh and I ordered a pre-filter sponge from ali-express, will hopefully help some baby corys to survive.

Time for another trim, the Aponogeton undulatus looks to have sent out a runner. My Amazon Sword has also sent up a flower stalk. Still monitoring how its going now the 9k bulb has been blanked out but i think there is less hair algae growing. I'd like to get some more growth on my red plants...

My tanks not really setup to collet the eggs, (I've never even seen any in there) I'll get the pre-fillter and just just hope that some survive.

Ok so i think i need a pre-filter sponge. :)

So now that i know my corys have spawned once in my tank i'd like to try and give them as much opportunity to survive as possible. How do people cover their intakes for canister filters? A specific sponge or something is what i was thinking to stop any babies getting sucked in. I was thinking...

Blanked off all of my 9k light as the hair algae was still growing. Gave it a trim. Also spotted my baby Cory, its getting its colours like the other venezualian ones, makes me happy to think that they have breed at least once in the tank (with a survivor). It's too over grown to try and see...

I have the same tank and am fighting a bit of algae too. It grows on my wood as well as some plants. (looks like a different type but still annoying.) To save money for now I have used electrical tape around half of my Day bulb to reduce the intensity. I'm thinking of blocking it all off as I...

Yeah i thought that might also happen. I might just tape around all of the 9k bulb.

Yep its a Juwel 240, i've gone down the cheap path so far and used electrical tape around the Day tube to block off half of it. TBH i think the single tube would probably be enough but i dont want to take the other out and expose anything in case of rusting.

I've swapped to Seachem Flourish in this tank now (1 capfull a week after water change.) Giving it a few weeks to see, i know it wont repair those leaves but hopefully the new ones don't experience it. I've also been fighting hair algae so have taped off half of the "Day" light thats 9k (from...

Tried to block off half the light for the 9k bulb. Also saw the baby Cory from a month or so back during yesterday's water clean so happy he's survived so far

The Ambulia and Water Sprite will grow back within a few weeks and I tried to pull as much algae off the hard scape as possible. Did a bigger 100ltr water change too (normally only 60ltr) also changed the filter floss on the filter as its been 4 months since that was done. Oh yeah it also looks...

Got sick of fighting with alae (also worked out since I had been cutting the tops off the stem plants and throwing them away instead of replanting them the lower leaves were effected more.) Soooo did a massive pull out and trim, will post pics later and see how it goes. Have also added some...

Fighting with some string algae, have dropped the lights back by another 30 mins. Also reducing feeding a little as it looks like some food was sitting in the string algae. Time for another trim. The extra Crypts look to have established themselves ok with no major crypt dieback, the original...

Did you work out what the bug on the 1st day was?
