My water is 4.6dGH (German).Wishafish wrote: ↑Sun Jul 04, 2021 13:35 pmI realise that, I just didn’t think it was a risk. The sterbai moved out to the hospital tank over 3 weeks before I got the endlers. What kind of parasite could go that long without a host?
@Stephen’s is 5 I think? Mine is 12. I have stuck to corys that have 12 within their hardness range on seriously fish.plankton wrote: ↑Sun Jul 04, 2021 12:50 pm How much harder exactly is your water?
I've acclimatised corys for over 3 hours when the bag water was significantly different to the tank.
I've also had trouble with trils (not tribbles) in my water that's 7.8dGH......the longest mine have survived was about 18 months, and they were mature and came from the same water as mine, but I don't know what they were kept in while they matured.

That may have something to do with recovery from any problem then, if they're used to a nice soft water then into a hard one.
I hope the spawnings prove profitable with regards to keeping them.
Oh, and anyone else in the tank could carry pathogens, but not be affected like new fish.

There wasn’t anyone in the tank after the sterbai moved out! Well no fish, just snails and plants of course.

Some updates from my plant top-up in July. These little plants are starting to establish themselves in the foreground, I think this is hydrocotyle.
And some of the alternanthera reineckii mini red is doing ok now in the mid ground.
No sign of the tiger lotus doing anything yet but they were added more recently - the bulbs are just sat being bulbs.
Erm…. guys, can you put those roots back where you found them please

Make sure they are half buried in to the substrate, they'll soon root.
Looks like the trilli are doing well.

This is a problem with Corydoras with sand and plants.
PUDDLE TIP: One trick you can use is to place small pebbles around the plant and will to stop the roots being disturbed. You can remove the stones later once the plant get better established.

They might have rooted, they are part buried and I won’t disturb them. They’ll either grow or not!
