Giant danios- I was told they would be great in a community tank, but they just chased my other fish and would let anyone on the top 1/3 of the tank

I don’t really know, when I had mine, all he ate were blackworms, but that might be a viable option ^_^

I’ll probably also give less algae wafers and put in cucumber for my algae eaters instead

I have cories, but I also feed algae wagers which make a mess as well as fish poop, so I need to help them out a little

I’ll definitely try that, how close to the sand do you put the tube?

I recently switched my 29 gal long to black sand (imagitarium) and I’ve been cleaning it with a regular siphone, but it’s pretty inefficient. The siphon doesn’t pick up all of the debris and it drains water too fast to get it clean, I’ve tried to stop the flow in order to slow the draining, but...

You might want to get other food just in case as they can be picky. Black worms are a good choice if they won’t take snails

I’m going to test the water tomorrow and go from there

Okay, so what are some steps I can take to soften the water?

Is it dangerous for the fish, or could I try it just to see what happens?

this is what they gave me, they said to put it in my filter

The information was not available in my area, I’m going to try to get a gh and kh testing kit

Oh, I got it tested at a pet store and they told me it was hard and gave me something to put in my filter, I remember seeing bright orange on the test strip, but idk if that was hardness or something else

I just tested my water, it is hard, I’m putting in water softener today, ph is on the alkaline side. No ammonia, nitrates, or nitrites
