Re: New Tank Log: VikingMummy
They like lurking but today I was able to count 7 fry all visible at one time in various locations around the tank. There are definitely 2 that are larger and belonging to a different spawn from the smaller ones. Looking at those 2, one has green eyes and the other has blue so that’s exciting to see...

Re: Sick swordtail
Even with the gH having been raised and maintained now, being raised in soft water (if supplier didn’t harden the water) and then being in soft water until December will have compromised them unfortunately and make them more susceptible to diseases that would normally be kept at bay by a healthy imm...

Re: Hi! New and confused
3 days of that and you’re good to go. It’s amazing how quickly those nitrite munchers catch up once they get going.

Re: Feeding fry in a community tank
Thanks guys. I figured that was probably the case but always best to check as I don’t always trust my instincts!

Feeding fry in a community tank
I still definitely have 5 Emperor tetra fry in my tank today, after first spotting them yesterday. I’m hoping there’s lots of microbeastie food amongst the decaying leaf litter, but should I add some Interpet fry food just to be sure? I’m inclined to let nature be but now the boy knows we have babie...

Re: Buying Vallisneria?
I think I started with that in my very first 240l tank and it spread but never took on much height in my very soft water. I’ve done much better with cryptocoryne ballansae these past 3 and a bit years. @VikingMummy2015 Which type of Vallisneria was you growing, as I seen a few different ones with v...

Re: New Tank Log: VikingMummy
We have BABY EMPEROR TETRA!!! Squeeeeee! At least 3 spotted this morning that must have been maturing amongst all the leaf litter as they’re 100% recognisable. Makes up for the dead cardinal I found this morning (difficult to say cause because it had been nibbled at). Perfect start to National Pet D...

Re: Can you cycle a small tank (fish-in) in a week?
Seriously Fish say 21-25 for neons, 22-30 for betta. Given 25 is the absolute top end for neons, long term best temperature for them is 22-23 degrees. Betta is best at 26-27. It doesn’t sound much but it can have a big impact on metabolism and shorten lifespan. For a 25L tank, it’s really only suita...
