Hello

Hello,

I'm new to the forum, but I've had tanks since I was a kid. Currently DH and I have a 65gallon breeder with mostly tetras and plants, which has been running for years. I really like kribensis (kribenses?). My tank is not optimal at the moment, so I'm heading off to an appropriate forum.

Welcome, I bet that large terra tank is a site to see!

Thanks for all the welcomes. The tank is recovering from an unexplained total die-off after running for years with no issues. We now have 8 redeyes and about 12 ghost shrimp to maintain the good bacteria; all seem to be thriving, but sometimes it's hard to find the ghost shrimp. Water conditions are holding at 0 ammonia, 0 nitrites, ~30 nitrates, 7ish pH. My local tap water is pretty hard (184 ppm and >9 pH), but that big log keeps the tank water on the softer side. I actually had to put some limestone in to pull the pH

up, LOL.

We're trying to decide what else to restock with besides another female kribensis. Suggestions welcomed.

That tank looks beautiful. I would reccomend cherry barbs they last a long time.
