my tank nw still working on it

Nice .. not sure all the plants are true aquatic - time will tell how they do in your tank.

Thing about BIG stones for substrate .. it has a small surface area and collects debris, you might also find that some of your smaller stem plants do not do well since root zone is near zero.

Now the thing is to let it sit a few weeks and see what worked and what did not.

Later Ferdie

 

look good!!! good luck!

 

Agree with Ferdie. I used river pebbles (10-20mm) and huge amounts of waste built up. Very difficult to gravel vacuum! The "pebbles" you have look nice and will probably go quite nicely with a 4mm pfs/0.4mm pfs blend with your pebbles mixed in on the surface. Looking good.

 

gonna change to silica wen i get sum time otha problem is nw that my 12 white clouds r ripping my best looking male guppy tails to bits so im setting up a 900mm tetra tank so ill have a guppy male tank 250l and the tetra tank hopefully get the tank next week sum time

 

so i had to take my white clouds out coz they were eating all my best looking guppies ate my two panda corys a peppered cory and one albino cory and a betta male that was blue and red beautiful fish he was o and my 5cm leopard pleco. As soon as i took them out my talking three striped catfish that is also about 5-6cm long came out his cave for the first time since i put the white clouds in there think they went in a week afta he got there . Been about 4days nw and my guppies ,corys and talkng cat r loving life in the tank nw the talking cat is out most of time wen the lights go on and its feeding time . Would like to knw r harlequins or neons also so agressive but i think im going to go get my self some dwarf gouramis instead nice an piece full tank.

 

so youre sayinh the white clouds ate your fish right?

 

they bite all the fins off then they die my poor albino cory swam 2days without any fins i mean no tail no fins at all wen i tried to save him it was to late already . It was like they targeted a new fish every day but they all happy nw ! just waiting on my 900mm tank that i wanna make into a tetra ,white cloud tank lots of small fishes and ill leave my guppy 1.2m tank with only guppies and corrys and my talking cat!!!!!

 

o ja and going to look for sum nice dwarf gouramis 2morw

 

so you dont think that a catfish isnt a predator fish? and he comes out of the cave now because he is looking for other fish to eat now?

 

im not rude or nasty or anything just helping out in my weird way

 

Hey Jacques.

The white clouds are not the issue here. That Talking cat is the culprit. Corydoras have spikes in their fins and a boney structure. So most likely what happened is they where swallowed and spit out by the cat because it couldn't swallow them. Did you actually see the white clouds nipping the guppy's? I'd say move the Cat to it's own tank and leave everything as is for a week or two and then decide. And another thing. What do you feed the Catfish?

 

ya.. i think that you should do a google research on fish before you add fish to a community tank!! it will be quite hard to find anything on carnivorous white clouds anywhere!!

 

i tought it was my cat but his only 5-6cm big if that yes i saw the white clouds destroy a male guppy in front of me but only the males !!!!!!!!!!! I put the white clouds in a otha tank with nuthing else threw in a crappy guppy and the same thing ate every fin off his body then died . So either my clouds r mini paranas or gansters . Like i say my cat is smaller than my corrys brav. i feed flakes for the guppies and tetra pellets for the corys and cat but the guppies ,corrys and the cat luvs the flakes and pellets they all eat together nw neva use to b like that with the clouds in them

 

mmm that is strange ... it is possible that you have some aggressive fish. it is just hard to believe because white clouds have a reputation of being gentle fish... they are related to goldfish afterall.
is it possible to post a photo of these white clouds please?

 

will do when i get home later . but ja you"ll see they ur standard white clouds they must be from sum gangster area maybe i duno. Forgot 2 mention wen i put them in the smaller tank i put a fake plat material like plant the shredded that too.

 

Very very strange. You might be on to something there @Ryno..

Hahahaha gangster white clouds.. not even our fish are safe anymore:cheesy: I had about 20 clouds with fantail goldies at one stage. the goldies often tried to gobble up the clouds.. but never the other way around!

See if you can upload a video of the little beasts devouring something (something non living!!)

 

Maybe the white clouds think your female guppies are actually mosquito fish (Gambusia affinis) and are attacking the male guppies out of competition for the females :laugh:

 

the clouds they r so quick the tank is like 40L and this is the only pick i got will try again got a little movie but duno how 2 load it ,
