What about the cardinals? What will they take because they dont go to the surface either..

I have 2 Blue Rams and 5 Cardinal Tetra and none of them come to the surface for flake. Why is this? When it gets soggy and sinks they eat it, but they never seem bothered or even attempt to go and eat when its floating on the surface. The frozen brine shrimp cubes just drop in and spreads...

Will do soon. At the moment the bigger one chases and is lip locking with the smaller one. The smaller one has bright sparkly blue spots near his/her face and the bigger one has a longer/spikier dorsal fin. Are they male/female from what I'm saying and do males and females fight/chase/lip lock?

Went with 2 Blue Rams, 1 male, 1 female and some Cardinal Tetra. Should be good as the tetra were already in the tank with the rams :)

Anyone else?

And some small tetras would be okay with 2 rams and 2 cockatoo cichlids right?

90Litre Fluval Roma

Ok, getting my fish tomorrow, is this a good stocking and are they all compatible? 2 x Blue Rams 2 x Kribensis 7 x Purple Emporer Tetra 5 x Cardinal Tetra some shirmp or some sort too. Is this overstocked or understocked and will they all be compatible? Thanks!

Thanks for the help :)

Also, is it better to use warm water or cold water with water changes or doesnt it really matter?

Is it okay to do it now? Im getting my fish tomorrow afternoon, as I'm busy all morning?

Ok, my tank is now processing ammonia and nitrites within 10 hours..I'm getting my fish tomorrow, so when should I do the water change, and is 75-90% really the best amount? I have a 90litre Fluval Roma :)

Just realised theres bright green algae growing on my ocean rock, looks like a bit of brown fluffy type algae too. Is this a good sign?

Well at the moment I'm adding about 1ppm-2ppm everyday..and the Nitrites arent going down..

I'm getting off the chart Nitrite and Nitrate..is this good?
