We are going away and the fish will go Friday - Sunday without food - I bought an automatic fish feeder but it gave way too much food so had to fish as much as possible out and will not be using it. Slightly concerned about the amount left in the tank. Will they be okay for a two/ three days...

Thanks Angie I guess my concern is having fish thrive over just dealing with the conditions they’re in. Your probably more experienced than I am so I want to stick with fish that I know as a beginner I can definitely manage and care for :) I’ve got a few more cords totallly six in totally bow...

Edit - I have read that marsilea crena or hirstuta might be better options? Marsilea Crenata

I'm planning on buying a new tank and moving my current fish over to it, my plan is to continue with no co2. My current tank has a layer of aquatic compost capped with sand and I have to say, the plants have thrived and grow very quickly in it, however it isn't the scape I want. (I will move...

Celestial pearl danios are another favorite of mine, and looking at them I reckon they could tolerate my water hardness?

Yes I actually have more amano shrimp (loads actually). I think maybe this would be better then or

According to AqAdvisor, these would all work - although I probably wouldn't go for a pleco at the moment anyway but nice to know for future?

Thank you - the fork tail rainbow fish is lovely, seems to be compatible with the fish I have/ want and can tolerate the hardness really well!
