Hi everyone, been lurking fo a couple of days, great forum
I've had a Biorb 30l for about 3 years and on the whole am quite happy,
Had some losses in the 1st year ( started with 4 golden barbs, 4 zebra danios and a chinese algae eater ... not all at once of course)
all went well untill the CAE started getting massive !
Any way long story short ... I lost the CAE, 2 barbs and 3 danios.
Then i read on a forum, cant remember which one about cleaning the sponge in tank rather than changing itand added a small heater to keep it at 24 - 26 degrees.
HAVENT LOST A FISH IN 18 months ( could be coincidence I suppose)
SO i am getting brave again and feel i might try 5 or 6 neons as they are really small and shouldn't make too much of an impact on the tank.
Spoke to the LFS today and bought a water test kit and its all spot on, he thinks 5 or 6 should be ok!
What do you all think
( I really would love Ottos but you know , the rough substrate! never mind eh)
Thanks in advance, sorry to waffle
