Re: How much crushed coral to use in a 55l tank

I don't know, but it appears that it's usually case of "trial-and-error" to get it how you want it.
Try to get it in a bag in the filter if you can, or a bag by the filter as scattering it can harm fishes mouths (and barbels for bottom feeders).

Re: Baby shrimp!

The problem with keeping any freshwater crab in a standard layout tank is that they need to leave the water occasionally, this is why I would always recommend a crab-only setup with less water and more land. Oh, and I always thought pom-poms were marine and didn't look like that, but I see there's a...

Re: Blisters on my plant?

I'm not sure, remind us what's in the tank please.
It could be snails, but the manner of it doesn't look quite right.....??

Re: DuzMano's Leddy 60XL 72l

If you look at a small group of minnows and a small group of one of the rainbows you'd be surprised how full the tank will look. ;) I'm always reluctant to suggest a "centrepiece fish" for any tank under 3'. Tha anchors are fine if you make sure they get enough food and the tank is cycled....

Re: DuzMano's Leddy 60XL 72l

I wouldn't try keeping honeys or loaches in your hard water, I can't keep them long-term in 8dGH. Also the minnows will want it much cooler than gourami and loaches. I presume you mean cherry shimp and not cherry barbs, loaches will probably have a go at shrimp as well as snails. Sorry...I would loo...
