Aquarium Advice Addict
Ok, I am going to move my BN to a non CO2 injected tank. I am moving my Sunset in there a long with some Java fern. I am aiming for a pH of 7.0-7.2, gh and kh at tap water levels, <1 degree. Have planty of caves for them and some PVC pipe.
Question one: Should the caves have a bottom or is the gravel ok?
#2: I know what to feed them. For green beans, is low salt that
important?
#3: Will a sponge filter be enough to keep the tank clean with regular water changes? I have a cheap Aquaview HOB on there right now.
#4: I know a 10 gallon is a little small but it will only be the two BN, is there anything to make them feel more at home?
#5: Will Snails eat the eggs?
#6: Is tanin a needed additive, if so, how dark can the tank be and not harm the fish? I don't care if it looks like strong tea as long as the BN breed. That said, what type of driftwood is best for BN? I have beach DW in with them now and they chew on it regularly, is that enough?
#7: Is there any effective way to encourage BGA or green spot or whatever their favorite algae is and not get BBA, string or hair algae?
Anything else I need to know would be appreciated. TIA
