I thought I'd lost mine recently but they both appeared when I was looking for my female Apisto. I've had them for 10 years!

Interesting really, I have 6 in my rio 180 and they are always out and about bullying the plec for his food and chasing each other about. Probably depends what they are in with and how well planted.

Last night I tested the water in here after I had to euthanize one of the angels. Everything came out as I expected, even though I haven't tested this tank for over a year.

Ammonia 0.0
Nitrite 0.0
Nitrate 5.0
Ph 6.0 (maybe less because the test starts at 6)
KH 2 DKH
GH 4 dkh.

It's water change day so I may test the pH and hardness when I'm done to see if its changing over the week.
64l kitchen tank: 16 golden tetra.
5ft 425L: 3 blue angel fish, 30 rummie nose tetra, 20 black neon tetra, 1 longfin bristlenose plec, 2 corydoras sterbai, 24 corydoras duplicareas,2 SAE.

I bought the NT labs kit like you recommended and it's all much better apart from the pH. I still use my JBL for that as it gives a full spectrum from 3-10

Good to hear @PaulVerrall I might try and buy a jbl pH test. That's the sort of range I need.

The water changes are done but I haven't tested the water.

I roped Jacob in today because he had to help with an adults job for homework.

While the bairn was cleaning the glass I removed the bolbitis and cryp balansae that sprouted from a runner from the bottom left corner.

I'm alot happier with how it looks now.
