Hmmm. Algae pellet would never work. The angels would peck it neutron particles by dawn.

Spock's breath, I'm having this same war. Dozens of little dark snails from the the new pennyworts I put in last month. I can't get them all. Wish I never put them in. I can't use loaches and when I...

The most common cause of white spot is not taking the new temperature difference well. Meds as often kill the fish as cure them, turn the water blue and harm the filter bacteria.

I cured my clown...

Bad, I appreciate the feedback and your taking the time to post that up.

I agree that Ammo-lock is a mistake, because it temporarily freezes the ammonia. You actually want it to enterprise into...

This discussion interests me. I'd like to see it continued. We can provide a wealth of experience to share.

Bad, what is your source from all you said last page? How do you know the bacteria in...

They are cory eggs. I recognise them. They will hatch quickly. Mine laid them on the glass once. The cluster didn't survive. They don't guard them like angels, and I suspect my catfish. Ironically,...

Corys are friends with everyone. They mind their business, clean the floor for you, and don't bother anyone.

Welcome! But wrong questions, friend!

You have to ask yourself, what plants, fish and gravel do I want NEXT YEAR?

Our tastes change. We grow in wisdom. Crawling leads to walking and then we...

Bond's Brit accent, did you say the angel had paired with the gourami?

That's... that's like Prime and Megatron strolling to Buckingham Palace for a tea 'n' scones. Please, let me know if that...

Ammonia doesn't space shuttle so high so quickly.

When I employed Stability's "one day cycling" I had the tank running a week or so. I wanted accelerating cycling, not bamf! some Nightcrawler...

Ah nostalgia of the old days....

I miss those old tanks with the corner bubble recesses. Quiet and eye pleasing. Miss the old Pac Man too...

I had an emergency transference that should have overloaded a new bacterian filter, and that Stability worked like fine gold. Bi-daily tests for a week afterward, and not a purr from the ammonia...

Tap water chlorine? Did any chemicals go into the buckets or equipment you use for water changing?

I've lost dwarf gouramis in my early days of fish keeping, but from high ammonia bikies before I...

Mum, also depends on the decor. Too much furniture can make it seem smaller to catfish. Depends too on the food. Some are just fussy eaters and subsist on scraps. You can feed them all the zuccini,...

Those bottles work, buddy. API Stresszyme boosts the bacteria. Stability claims immediate cycling. I used for the first time. They weren't kidding; it was cycled next day.

I know, because I was...

What did I wish I knew starting out?

Nothing. I didn't need to know anything.

Now, I know I knew nothing.

Well done! Excellent layout for fry and baby fish. They cna refuge themselves in the gaps and layers.

Dwarf gouramis are hostile to communities, and I hear the pearl is viceroy to the king, You...

The common sailfin is sold very small and doesn't grow all that big unless the tank is spacious.

All those fish were originally in a 110L tank?

The angel, gourami and betta invites a three way war. And my bet is on the gourami, the chutzpa fish that howls at fish twice its size. But maybe the...

I was thinking the tank might be a bit tight for 2 turqoise rainbows too. But they're big enough to hold their own against the angels. The angels are quite friendly, though they're dance mating all...

Angels are relatively peaceful, smaug. I was thinking swapping the tetras for 2turquoise rainbows or 4 harlequins.

What I wanted were 2 mating rams but rams are not available at the moment.

AquaStyle 850 165L tank
2 adult angels, 4 corys who hide all day, one juvenile catfish.

I'm thinking of exchanging my 7 glowlight tetras. All they do is stay at the bottom. I bough them because...

You're optimistic! I had a cory fry survive 5 weeks in inside the filter box.

Hey, let me know how that eventuates. I'm planning on Ramming my tank with an angel couple... if i can find the rams. i don't expect the angels to be in a sharing mood, but we'll see.

Can a small airstone not suffice for water movement? They're noisy albeit.
