New tank for Killifish .

[Back in the fold]

Set up my new tank for some Killies I've got coming. I'm going to try sand. Got this black sand at Big Box pet store. Maybe it's not really sand. Just fine grain aquarium gravel. I like the looks of it though. Contrasts well with the driftwood and the plants should look nice when I add them. The filter is running and all the excess oxygen is slowly dissipating. This was a fun way to spend my Friday afternoon.

That is going to Be awesome!! How many gallons is it?

It's just a five gallon. It should be okay for two small fish. I'm wondering about MTS. Do you think that would be a good idea ?

MTS gets to even the best of us!

Thought that meant Malaysian Trumpet Snail. Don't they burrow into the substrate and eat leftover food and decaying plant matter? This new tank is squeaky clean. Everything is new. Nothing for them so might not be a good idea. They don't eat fish eggs laid into plants do they?

Never add snails to tanks where you are trying to breed fish because the snails eat the fish eggs.

Killifish are worth breeding and should not have any snails in their tank.

Ohh....lol. I though you meant MTS (Multiple Tank Syndrome).

Yes, they do eat leftover food, and spend most of their time in the substrate. Here are a picture of some of mine.....

OK. Multiple Tank Syndrome. I have it but it's in remission. I think it's in remission. And thank you for that reminder Colin. I actually knew that but forgot. Ixnay on the snails.
