I have to start this topic off by asking: 'are planted tanks really good for the fishes or the aquariast?'
Automatically, I'd think it's definitely better for my fishes. It's the fishes demands which are primary to any concerns here. So why am I asking this question?
Here we go......
For the last couple of days, I have not seen head nor tail of either two of my Yo-Yo loaches, and today, as I came back from a shopping trip, looked into my tank, and saw my one of my Kribs nibbling at a gas-filled rotting corpse of one of the Yo-Yo's.
I think it must of died within the last couple of days, and somehow got stuck in my bogwood/lava rock substrate. Only to be flushed out at some point by the constant predation by my Kribs, or by the 'strongish' water currents.
The point is this. If I didn't have the substrate I may spotted whatever ailments this fish may have suffered from. Then, would it be right for me to bypass their needs for the good of their health?
Your views please......
