Your hairgrass must be doing really well! I was more meaning in a community setup without too much lighting for normal conditions, or would one...
Okay maybe not such high lighting... but yeah any system with respiring organisms will have elevated levels of CO2. I've never used injected CO2...
Of course, in the end its what you like. Some fish will be a little harder to see on a black background, but your wall should be fine. I'd just...
High lighting, check, CO2 made by lots of fish, check, fertiliser check. Thanks. Does it have a preferred pH and temp or is it unfazed, hehe?
Mmm... Imports, yummy. Thanks I'll keep this in mind.
Nice... I'm from Plumstead, unfortunately no space for a new tank...
I wouldn't recommend it for that reason but I can see how it would work practically. I say do weekly 25-50% water changes, with a good filtration...
Hey guys, I'm new to the forum but not fishkeeping, I've introduced myself in the new members thread. I currently live in Stellenbosch but spend...
I absolutely recommend Pearl gouramis. Hardy, peaceful and beautiful. How they look in an LFS doesn't do justice to how they could look in a...
I've successfully bred Kribs in a 50L tank with natural caves, normal lighting, standard gravel, nothing fancy. 24C, pH 6.5, soft water. I thought...
Henk, I've been looking for good hairgrass for a while, what conditions have you found it to grow best in?
Dwarf gouramis are some of the few fish I have never had much luck with... I gave them plenty of hiding places, plants, slightly soft, acidic...
Congrats on both the baby and the tank, I'm happy for you! I agree with most suggestions here, I must really look into some of these interesting...
Could someone get me up to speed with how the social groups work around here?
If the tap water isn't too hard or alkaline thats probably an okay practice (though the costs of chlorine removers might get a bit much for the...
Check out bicolour or redfinned sharks, though only keep one of those because they love to rip each other apart. Many cichlids have darker bodies...
Oscars are fine for very big tanks, without plants and only tankmates that don't have to have a territory. Many catfish are fine to keep with...
I've personally run tanks for 6 months at a time without water changes, but these were special cases with blackwater-loving fish and a high plant...
I hope you don't mind if I answer, but from my experience and knowledge of charcoal I can give some pointers. First, carbon is only active for a...
I concur with JesseG. You know what you want, I'm sure the fish you have will be gladly accepted by a friend, or you could invest in more tanks...
