Makes sense

So I'm curious, how did these tigers lose their stripes? 🤔

Cool 😎

LFS a couple blocks from the house. Now I have an endless supply it seems...

Yeah and they breed like crazy. Want some??

6 tanks in the house with: Tiger barbs Siamese algae eaters Zebra danios Yucatan mollies Serpae tetra Assassin snails (and their prey) Salt and pepper corys African clawed frogs Kuhli loaches ~400 tanks at work with: Many many different types of clownfish :)

I have a few Kuhli loaches, and they are great. I know Indonesia is a bit far of a trek from South America but they are pretty easy to take care of and don't grow past 5 in. They are omnivores as well. They would make a good fit for that kind of environment.

Barbs go all over the place. They are really very energetic fish.

Why can't you mention 25%? That's all I ever do for all of my tanks. They are pretty heavily planted though and I'm sure that makes a difference.

Definitely safe after you've let it sit and out gas. I wouldn't recommend using it for anything but smaller valves and tank fittings though.

I've got five tanks going, I need all the plants I can grow LOL. Now the guppy grass on the other hand has no problem getting wildly out of control. I can't get duckweed to survive in my tanks for some reason.

Unfortunately for me my plants have been a little too effective in their duties and are a little starved for nitrogen now. So I've been doing water changes less often and the plants are getting healthier but I do wonder if I should put some fertilizers in there. It's surprising that they can...

I've got five aquariums here and about 30 plants. I generally let water sit for 24 hours and still add prime before putting it in the tanks. I don't add prime for the plants but if I don't let the water sit and I give my plants chlorinated water there are definite repercussions. If you have time...

Really sorry this is happening, it's always frustrating when your little buddy is not doing well and there's nothing you can do. I felt the same way you did when I first started raising tiger barbs because they just die all the damn time, but now that I have a strong tank of healthy fish they...

My Siamese algae eaters are absolute fiends for those algae wafers. It's fun to watch them and the tiger Barbs go after the wafers, they seem to have worked out a mechanism for sharing them now. I have five of the algae eaters and eight tiger barbs in one 30 gallon tank and they do pretty well...
