This might be a little late, but next time I get a batch, this is what I'm going to do. 1. Hatch them in RO water. I'm just gonna go with pure water while they're hatching. 2. Small container with very very high current (due to a bubbler). Even with the eggs bouncing all over the place, I found...

The ammonia & nitrite readings were due to a recent die-off of plants due to algae (and then algae due to tackling the algae,) but the plants are getting back to normal. The two females who had symptoms stopped showing them after having peas. The small male didn't eat the peas as much but has...

I feed them Hikari sinking wafers (spirulina, silkworm, krill) they also eat some pretty quality flake food at times, and once in a blue moon they'll steal the betta's pellets if he misses them. I was definitely overfeeding them. Filter hasn't been messed with in months. It's well-established...

That's tested right out of the faucet. I have some tap water that's been running in a bucket with an empty filter (to clean the filter) for about a week, and it's PH is about 7.8.  I have no clue what the KH is, and my city doesn't record that information. I couldn't find a KH tester at a store...

5 Corydoras Trilineatus If I were to get more corydoras, these are the species I'd want   -Corydoras Sterbai -Corydoras Similis -Peruvian Green Laser Corydoras -Corydoras Pygmaeus -Corydoras Elegans

I've seen different species of corydoras shoaling together.  It's not easy, and I think it's more an act of desperation. They never completely fit in.

  Yeah, I did about an 8 gallon water change (5 gallons RO water, 3 gallons tap water.) Tap water PH is about 7.4, and I know that RO water will bring the PH down. I'll follow it up with another 5 gallon water change, or so, perhaps Thursday morning, and test the water parameters again thursday...

So, I have an aquarium with 5 Corydoras Trilineatus. I've had them for maybe 8 months now, and I think I can safely say that they're some very hardy ones.   Here are some bullet points for all information I think is relevant.   Tank: -30 gallons (3'H x 1'W x 18"H) -Play sand substrate...

I had intentions to spread them out as they grew. Eventually, I'd hope for 2 breeding pairs, maybe 3 if I can get another suitable tank for a pair. Also have some friends that would like angelfish. I'm thinking now might be a good time to split them up into two groups. I only ended up with as...

It wasn't going to the surface as much as it was just being in head-up position. The gill movement was a little more rapid than normal, but not exactly what you'd call "rapid." Yeah, these fish have grown larger since I got them, and I did recently have to put through a 2/3 full tank due to the...

I have 13 angelfish, about half are around nickel size, and the other half are about quarter size. The aquarium is a 30 gallon high (2' high, 2' long, 1' wide.) As I mentioned before, it's a grow-out tank, and as they get larger, I'll start moving them around more. Perhaps this new-found...

So, I've got a tank where I've been growing out angelfish. It's a little overstocked, but I haven't had problems since I set it up (last summer.) The angelfish are still a bit too young to breed, I think. These are the angelfish symptoms: 1. Losing color/sides look a little scruded. There's...

Well, it's the sixth day for the fry. Of 21 that hatched, 19 are still in there (1 is injured [has been since I had to help it get out of it's egg] and only swims in tight circles.) I've put some filter squeezings in the water, and also some sinking wafer pieces (dissolved in water before hand.)...

So, I was at PetSmart today, and I saw some Melanotaenia Splendida (labeled as Australian rainbowfish) for $1 or $2 each. I've been wanting to get rainbowfish, and I was wondering if this was really cheap or not. Any information is much appreciated. Thanks!
