That's an interesting fish.
I guess you can't do this with fish in?
Hydra can apparently catch fry if the fry is small enough and the hydra large enough.
I think if the CO2 moves through the filter media in high concentrations it will kill the filter bacteria.
Haha. No ways. Catching them would destroy the tank. I'm trying to grow algae on rocks in a bucket outside.
Try put the airstone under the outlet of the filter so that it spreads more.
Haha - yeah i love my B. dario. I saved him from stodels, and it was labelled as a zebra loach. It was so skinny when I bought it.
Thanks! The tank isn't in shape I want it in. I want mega amounts of GDA and other surface growth, not damn hair, fuzz and staghorn algae :/
Just a partial FTS after I removed A LOT of haair aglae. [IMG]
Only 4 pics. The fry are doing well. Lost 1 so far. Feeding BBS, Flakes and some White mosquito larvae. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Wyvren, can you confirm if that tall plant is in fact Dracaena?
Best is to get some planting tweezers if you plant in PFP. Works great. The capping doesn't have to be too thick - even 2cm would suffice but...
Looks good. That tall plant doesn't look aquatic imo. Think it's Dracaena.
No - no potting soil. A cheap method in the PFP and Nutrifeed mix - search the forum for it. Or you can use inert pool filter sand too , but it...
Rather do a solid 6mm glass brace down the length of the tank. There's a reason why most tanks are braced this way. and PS: the PFP thing - great...
You're in the same boat as I was some 9 months ago when I just set up my old 3ft, filled it etc with great enthusiasm, just to hear the people say...
my 3ft is on a 15mm squre tubing stand which only has legs on the side, but about 2cm thick solid wood underneath the tank and everything is fine,...
Yeah man I've seen a 4mm unbraced 3ft tank filled to about 3cm from the top. I was afraid to go near it.
