She is beautiful!

So while op is awol, has anyone ever had problems feeding bloodworms? Either frozen or dried......

Sounded like they took the fish straight out and cleaned tank, so water would have been changed. They were still dying in holding. Can frozen bloodworms be tainted? I've had problems feeding dried bloodworms, but never frozen

They started dying whilst still in the tank.

Hi, really sorry to hear that! @Colin_T will have info hopefully

Mine are the opposite! I have them in a planted 20 gallon with my habrosus cories. They all forage around together and are always out and about no matter what time of day. And never worry when I come near, might stop and see if I'm going to feed them, and then ignore me. I had them in my 47...

Hi. I have mine on: white.......85% green......75% red ......... 68% blue........ 19% That's for the daylight time, which is about seven and a half hours. Night I have 23% red, 9% green and white and...

I have a Koralia, I don't use it all the time as I put in extra filtration and a bubbler. But when it is on, it is silent. Completely. So much so, I forget it's on. And I don't own a TV, so there is no background noise to cover it. My fish love the flow....and I love the quiet!

I've just added platinum ricefish to one of my tanks. Really lovely little fish, and no problem to anyone. And really look good in a planted. They use the whole tank and are quite the busy bodies. Very curious. Always trying to socialise with the panda cories, who mostly ignore them, but they...

Wow, I haven't fully appreciated how lucky I am for it all to have gone smoothly. Enough work mucking around with aquariums, would not like to have to add looking after the ponds to the mix!

I have four ponds, and I don't use filters, UV or otherwise. The only one I have an algae issue with is the one that gets a lot of morning sun. This year I just strategically placed a few old palm fronds to shade it for the summer, and algae problem solved. So much so that I've had to remove...

Thank you! I used root tabs under the sword and the crypts, only put one lot in to start them off, but found they separate and end up all over the place. I use liquid ferts, but at a far less rate than they recommend. Once everything is established it is it's own ecosystem. If it looks a bit...

Bump

Harlequin rasboras are lovely! Beautiful, peaceful and no trouble in a community tank. I love to watch them when I put the koralia on. They will all swim up to the flow, ride it the length of the tank, then race back to do it again.
