Been a while since I’ve been here! I’ve currently got a mature 125 litre tank (27 gallons for Americans) stocked with 5 juli corys and 19 green neon tetras. They’re all very settled and I fancy adding in some new species to the tank, anyone got any good ideas for new introductions and how much...
I'm still leaning towards the green neons after what you've just said. As for what parameters, my ph sits at around 6.8 and my temp is usually 24.5 degrees Celsius.
Currently debating between green neon tetras, Cardinal Tetras and diamond head tetras. Which would you recommend and why? Currently leaning towards the green neons.
I've also heard quite a few people say that they were disappointed with their danios after purchase. The way they swim around is apparently a bit erratic and nor very relaxing.
I have quite a few plastic plans of various size and a few little hiding places in different areas of the tank. My Cory's love surfing over them and eating any algae that's on them too.
I will have a look at some danios but would their fast movements not spook the honey Gouramis?
I don't do live plants in my tank but I have a few plastic lily pads on the surface for them, they actually seem to really enjoy going to the middle or even the bottom of the tank too and having a...
I was thinking of adding some neon tetras originally but I'm not too sure if that would be suitable. Peacock gobbies are an option I've looked at as well as some species of nano fish.
I currently have 5 Juli Corys, 5 five banded barbs and 3 Honey Gouramis in my 125 litre tank. I have a fluval U3 filter and my ph is around 6.8
I'm looking for some recommendations for new fish to add to the tank if you all think I have any room for more? Ideally something relatively small...
That's what the general idea seems to be, although I have seen people recommend them as a quick fix to stuff like this. I imagine antibiotics aren't pleasant for the fish to deal with though.
At the start I ended up with 5 males and 2 females. There isn't an awful lot of info about five banded barbs available online so i made the mistake of thinking that was okay. The LFS didn't seem to have an issue with it either.
After realising it was a problem I went back and bought their last...
We don't have the same strength of meds that are available in the US. The main thing over here is melafix I think? Which produces very mixed results. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Very hit and miss.
Yes some of it is, my barbs used to chase each other pretty relentlessly until I added another two females to calm things down. The female in the picture is the one who was chased the most in the group.
It's just trying to differentiate between tears from nipping and an infection.
