    Hi everyone. My tank has been cycling for a little over 2 weeks now (only plants) and Iā€™ve been noticing some VERY tiny brownish almost red dots everywhere like on the glass and especially on my Monte Carlo plants, itā€™s extremely light and you canā€™t really see it unless youā€™ve got your face...

    Hello fishy friends, I think one of my Blackskirts just ate one of my new Rummy Nose Testraā€™s tail. I didnā€™t actually witness it but the Blackskirt looks kind of guilty tbh.

    Hello, Iā€™ve set up a new 80l tank, and I wanted a second opinion on my problem. Tank has been going for about 1 month.
