My new sorority

[Mrscmurray]

This is on my hit list of things to do when we get a bigger house and I can command a whole room for fish tanks. They're gorgeous fish and so full of character!

Is this what they mean when they say finger food?

Just an update photo. Nothing done to the tank girls are all healthy and happy.

How's the new girl?

 

[NickAu]

Just as flare happy as the other 3, While the 3 older girls chase each other they seem to leave her alone even when she flares at them they just ignore her. The white one is the boss of the tank.

The plants seem to be doing great See last front photo

A few more months growth and it will be where I want it, I want it to be a dense tall jungle, I think the fish will love that. For some reason I am drawn to wild looking over grown but healthy tanks that are virtually maintenance free, All I do is change 50% of the water and feed the fish no ferts no CO2, Just a light that my girls can live with.

I know that not everybody likes this style of tank but thats OK, I like it. I call it the Nick method.

Ammonia 0
Nitrites 0
Nitrates 0
PH 7.2
Water temp 27.8 deg C.

My betta envies your tank.Her tank is having diatom problems right now right im getting under control.

Ok so its water change day for the girls.

Now some of you are going to be horrified when you see this, But relax its cool.

Take 1 bucket half fill with water, Take 2 Indian almond leaves crush them and stuff them into a power head filter, then put in bucket of water, after 2 days you get this.

Next siphon out 50% of the water in the tank and refill with the water from the bucket in the above photo. When done add 30 milliliters of Easy Life fluid Filter Media.

This video shows me adding Easy life and how much current there is in the tank, The cloudiness is normal and clears up in a few hours.

They are upset I didnt put any food in with the easy life .

You don't put conditioner in?

 

[NickAu]

Just easy life.No need to

What chemicals are in your water? What does easy life do? Just curious (please don't take this the wrong way).

I live in the country and the town water is basically rain and river water that has been filtered, The people around here are mostly new age hippies so the water is clean.

Easy life is a water conditioner. I have been using it and only it for 2 years now. Some people are skeptical about it but thats fine.
