I released it and it started moving right after falling to the bottom of the aquarium. Perhaps a little confused since it first went where the other fish were crowding, but turned around and went towards the wood/hiding spots. It seems like it was a little confused, or maybe it just tricked me...

Hey! Thank you for the reply. I turned the lights off for now. There's no change in colour in the internals, it's still transparent. EDIT: I changed the water again and it's frontal limbs were moving a little. It's still alive.

Hey! I'm very concerned! I was meaning to trade my lonely Amano shrimp today into a new home with more amaons. I captured it yesterday evening into a baby fish floating box. It was very active last night and this morning. But when I came back home at eleven it was laying on its side. I was...

Big Congratulations to @emeraldking! 🐦

I visited a local famous fish store again today to get my pre-water-change tank water tested properly. I have the quick tests only but they test properly free of charge! The results weren't pretty: Test: (recom.) NO3 (15-20) NO2 (<0.1) PO4 GHd (4-8) KHd (2-4) pH (6.5-6.9) CO2 (5-15) Fe...

5 new baby basic Vallisneria plants now in a row in the very back right. Added a bit more plant substance. I didn't want to over do it, many more were available for free. One of the decorative stones is still holding down the sunken wood. It would still float. Maybe after a week I can put the...

My evening aqua. It's serene and calming to watch the action in the aqua. So, here's something to look at before sleep, if you wish. Remember to up the quality setting of the video to HD. I'm btw considering to try Neocaridina davidi var. "Yellow" in my tank. The bottom level of my tank looks...

My aquarium setting Here I spend most of my time when at home, at the computer. At times following what's happening in the tank and being enthralled by it. Sometimes I move in front of it to stare. After a while the tetras move closer to look at what am I doing here sitting on the floor. At...

Thank you! It stated the next for example: :oops:! Wonder how much is that 50 ppm A. vera. I found another article form Goodle Scholar, which reveals something but not much: It leaves us with the question of how is this "calmer" behaviour achieved? As it seems to me it doesn't rule out the...

Close up of my Green Neon Tetras with a couple of Otos For evening entertainment. Green Neon Tetras and Otos chilling before the lights went out. I don't know what they eat to stay fit and chubby, but maybe I don't need to know. As long as they keep being that I'll just continue with the...

Hey! Sorry to hear that! I had a quick look at some of your earlier posts: is it so that you have now changed to new filter as well as new bottom substrate in under a week? That could be risky to do. I'm not an expert though in how fast a possible nitrite spike disappears so I can't say what's...

For anyone interested in my local search result: I did a search to a couple local popular aquarium special stores and seems that here every water treatment brand (no API available) (10 brands in total) has a coating effect or alternatively Seachem Prime stimulating effect (which safety I don't...

Hello and thank you for your answers and info! This topic has troubled me. I'm told that my tap water has rather chloramine than chlorine. I can try to contact the water provider next Monday to verify this and to also ask for some data about the other substances in the water. That might be...

Hey! I'm troubled now. I intended to buy Seachem Prime from my local dealer because it was so concentrated and the brand rises trust (though that has been shaking a little lately due to some comments), but the dealer said that according to his details Prime also does this: (translated from...

Does anyone have experience with feeding Otos in a Neocaridina shrimp tank? Do the shrimps take over all the food sources hardcore? I've currently had success with feeding my newcomer Otos with a spirulina-meat-jelly rubbed on a wooden feeding stick. I'm wondering if the shrimp would take it...

Otos having a lunch! 💚 I'm still so happy and relieved that they are finally eating! Now for the 3'd day and I've had them for a week now. There's still the challenge of how to feed them if I'm away. Need to perhaps teach them somehow to finding pellets also. Otherwise it'll be fasting time for...

Hey @MattW! Thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate it! I used to have at least one more Amano, but it passed at some point. I can't recall if there were more of them initially. You are right, it should have more company. I have forgotten about it and need to decide what to...

Your close up pictures are like watching a nature documentary! Very well done, thank you, was a pleasure!

Hello! Thank you for letting me know your experience! I think your points sound valid and I am eager to see how things work out in the future with this Tropica Premium Nutrition which I have now. What comes to the link you shared, I'm not so sure how it would work in my low tech low plant...

Hey all and welcome to my diary! My 54 litre freshwater aquarium at the time of starting the diary on the 28th November 2024. Recent changes: My aquarium is now 4 years old and it has recently recovered from a long infestation of algae so I'm finally getting it back into the positive...

Thank You! :D

Hello! My aquarium details: I have a 4 years old freshwater aquarium, which brand and model is Eheim Aquastar 54 litre LED. I've upgraded the filter to an oversized EHEIM biopower 160 litre filter with mechanical filter media, Eheim Substrat Pro and Seachem Purigen (50 ml) in it, finished with a...
