A few bits and pieces

[Fishbuddy1]

Hey,

I've been keeping fish for a few years now and I've recently got a 45g tank (4fter) or it could be 55g (I don't do this system...I do normal) so its 200 litres

Anyway, I was wondering why my drift wood pieces still tan the water ( I know its good for the fish etc...but I hate it, it makes my tank look very dark) I've boiled the wood several times for several hours....and I've changed water up to 50%....60% and still...to no avail, my water goes brown/yellow within a day . Just wondering whether there are any other thing si could do.


Also my second thing is, I've got a Resun AE-806 runnin in the tank (which is built for a 500 litre tank...so i got plenty of filtration). I have slowed the flow by making it trickle down....

Now I was wondering whether Agassisis dwarfs and cockatoo dwarfs could go together (lets say a pair of each) I have two distinct caves quite a distance from each other.

Other tankmates in there....include a variety of tetras ( I think i have 6 glowlight tetras, 6 red eyed, 8 neons, 1 cardinal and 5 black neons....may add more) I also have 3 bristlnose plecs in there and one cory....(I am getting a few more...i know there schoolers ) and so I was wondering whether the two dwarfs could go together. AND/or any other suggestions

Yes everything is fine...they can go together


Some suggestions = add some angels like 4 or so...and a betta (they make the tank look hell cool) and also many ottos and a couple of common plecs...and if you think you can handle it maybe a redtailed shark or a firemouth

Also if you decide to add a fire mouth in there...you would probably want to add some discus and jack dempsy's

As far as tannins go, Boiling doesn't always work, sometimes you just have to deal with it. I've had wood go months before easing up on the tannins, and my mopani still releases a small amount. You can try running a bunch of carbon in your filter to help clear it up.
