So after lots of advice on here and a LOT of reading i have decided to gain some more experience on keeping water and also improving my planted aquarium before stocking a discus community tank. I now have a pair of wc apistogramma cf huascar, the male took no time at all to become a 'dominant...

Hi, great info thankyou. The otos are definitely eating/damaging my plants, there isnt much algae at all in there. Also a new issue, an apple snail has taken a liking to the cucumber before my otos have recognised it. Here is a pic of the greedy devil. . This was my thought until i saw them...

I think my otos have started to snack on my plants due to the lack of algae as it isnt a mature setup. Can they have a bit of melon spinach cucumber etc. ? Thanks

We have a winner :) glass bloodfin tetra it is, just need to find a home for them now as theres only 2 and i wont be adding any. Thanks. Good shout :)

Word of advice, the newt will escape lol. If he doesnt heres some more, they love live bloodworm and mosquito larvae, a nice dark hiding place out of the water is a good idea too along with somewhere she can dry off and shed her skin(looks female to me). Not sure which species are compatible...

Did you get much further with this project?

Its completely transparent and seems a bit too long/narrow for bloodfin imo, that is the nearest i got to identifying it though. Sorry about the pic i had to compress it on my phone so i could upload.

Very good :) i like the sterbai, if i get corys they will probably be the ones. Learned so much on these threads in the last few days its great. I put my tank info, filter make and model and planned stock into a stock calculator. It said my stock will be at 90% and filter efficiency 98%. Sounds...

Could someone tell me what these fish are please? Received two of them with a setup i bought, cant find them in a book or on google. Thanks.

Probably best that i stick to one variety then as il probably only get 6 or 7, dont want to overstock and the plan up to now is to have 5 discus 3 otos 1 raphael striped catfish 8 rosy tetras Are serbai the corys that like the temps nice and high like the discus? Ive just been looking at the...

Thinking of some corys for the discus tank, will corys mix with other corys or is it best to stick to one kind?

This puts things into perspective, i have actually screenshotted this incase i need to refer back to it. I will carry out frequent tests and monitor changes, am i correct in assuming my kh will increase over time?
