Had to do it again

This is a more distant pic. I couldnt help myself. I'm so proud he has made it to for 5 days, but I guess it pays to look elsewhere for healthier fish.

Looks like a nice tank! little dark though!! Is it naturally a sort of light brown colour? If so its probably because of that big piece of bog wood in the background leaching tannins, which are course not harmful to the fish, I think the colour looks quite pretty as well

The color comes from peat soaked in RO water. When I replace the water part of it is tap water that is 7.8 and the peat is anywhere from very acidic to 6.6. I like to keep my tank at 7.0.

William,

I'd like to thank you on questioning my water color. It sent some light bulbs off in my head to investigate further as I didnt have the tank quite that dark before. I had found the impeller shaft was broken and not filtering correctly. Thank you, thank you!!!!!
