This is very helpful for me to. I tried feeding some frozen food but it was all too big and even though they went mad for the smell of it they just swam past it.

I know it's the other tank but what filter do you have in this one and how do you clean it?   Sounds like a fair bit of food but I'm no expert.

When you maintain this tank do you clean the sponges in the filter?   I remember you saying before that you have done this and would explain why this is happening.   Also how often are you feeding the fish and how much?   If your other tank is cycled try and get some of that water into this tank...

I have a lot of vanishing fish and never found any bodies but never been lucky enough to have any of them reappear. That's amazing!

My new plants arrived today, 2 Anubias Bateri and 3 Java Fern. I have put one Anubias and one java into this tank and the rest into my other tank. I added my new fertiliser last week and have noticed an improvement in the plant growth already, and I got my root tabs yesterday so will get them...

Just a quick update on what I have decided to do.   I ended up going with dry ferts but not EI. I have a complete dry fert mix which I am going to combine with water at the required dose and add to the tank weekly. I also ordered 50x root tabs to help booth growth.   I'll keep you posted on how...

So time for an update on the tank and my recent decisions.   Yesterday I picked up 3 Scarlet Badis and the day previous to that a young Krib. The Krib will only be in here short term whilst it grows, I didn't want it getting eaten in my other tank. The Badis seem to of settled really well thus...

Keep me posted on how you get on with it Far_King when you get the chance to set it up.   I bought my light purely on the fact it had the correct colour temperature (6500K) and the Lumens was right (1650). This was based on research I had completed at the time of setting up the tank.   I...

Yes everything I am talking about now is on the nano tank, I started setting it up a few months ago and was able to kick start it by adding a matured sponge filter. I am picking up 4 Scarlet Badis tomorrow for the tank.   Ok so based on the lights that you use on your tanks my light is pretty...

She's stunning! I hope I end up with a shrimp like this one day
