thanks for the comments I will leave it than and maybe add a few more cories. It looks so nice now I really would not start over unless it's hopeless. puskas

thanks guys for the help! do you think that I might get away using gravel in this setup? somewhere I've read that I should have used sand for such a heavy planted setup where vacuuming is not really possible I will add than more malaysian snails and hope for the best thanks, puskas

Hi guys, my tank is getting up nicely, it's 260l / 70 gal and have a lot of plants in it. I have 2w/gal lighting and no CO2 added. I have gravel heating and special sand below the gravel substrate to support the plants. Now I see the issue that I can not vacuum the gravel any more because of...

Thanks for the help... My last molly stays in and she is happy so far I guess I'll get her 2 new buddies and we'll see Amanos seem very efficient in keeping the tank clean :-) p

they are officially gone cleaned up tank, moved all deco, checked filter, looked around outside, everywhere they probably died and got eaten. it's wierd though that 2 at the same time do you think any of the tankmates might have caused the death? or they probably died of stress from moving and...

mollies were 2-3 inches plecos are ~3 inches (it's teh small, pitbull pleco) corys are also ~3 inches cardinal tetra are 2-3 inches I bought all of them in last 2 months all fish are more or less the same size, shrimp are smaller do pitbull plecos eat dead fish? I thought they are herbivores...

filter and ornaments already checked. coudl not find them there. Once I get home I'll check the floor and around the tank. It's fully covered though so I don't think they could jump out. Unless they got stuck somewhere between the hood and the reflectors... any ideas about the tankmates? do you...

they can't really be hiding. I looked around the entire tank. Could not find any remains, no bones etc... would the shrimps eat teh dead fish totally without any remains? about the pitbull pleco, I though they are herbivores eating mostly algae... thanks, P

Hello guys, I need some help. 2 of my 3 black mollies gone missing without trace and I am clueless. I have a 260l (70gal) planted tank that's just finished cycling a few weeks ago and now being populated. The population: 10 cardinal tetra 4 sterba's cory 4 pitbull pleco 10 amano shrimp 3 black...

hi biffster, thanks for your comments My question is how long should I wait with adding new fish AFTER the tank is stable (ammonia and nitrite consistently at trace level) is 1 week waiting ok or shoudl I wait longer to allow time to recovery before ammonia could go up again due to having...

one more week into cycle I still have all fish alive and the corys seem to recover nice gills are not red any ore and fins are healing too yesterady I saw nitrite peaking, it was around 0.8 so I did 50% WC yesterday and plan to do it again tonight. Ammonia is below 0.05 so I think I am set from...

just a quick update tank is stable, ammonia is ~ 0-0.1 with 40% WC every other day I cut down food, started to feed vegetables too and fish look quite happy fins are growing back, gils still look a little reddish I hope they will recover fully Nitrite reading is still zero, and I start to...

thanks fluttermoth, I understand the objective is to keep ammonia at zero... will be hard I guess with so many fish anyway, I will try to do that my kids are 5 and 7, love to help but sometimes it makes things more messy and slow ;) puskas

thanks a lot for the quick advice in defence of the shop, I think it's an honest mistake I live in Austria but speak little German as I recall the situation, I think he understood that I cycled the tank without fish but I ment that I added something called Sera filter-start. basil1 - I see...

Dear TFF community, I am new here and also new fish keeper. I have an emergency with my new tank and need help. I am afraid I started with the wrong fish and too many. What shall I do? It's a 70g Jewel Vision with the internal Bioflow 6 filter. I set it up 2 weeks ago with plants 7-8...
