So it has been about 2 and a half weeks that the tank has been under a timer, and I notice a slight improvement in behaviour each day. Basically, the barbs now remain calm when the light goes on or off, and they seems to be adapting to the light just perfectly! Thanks for all the help...

Ok so no signs of fry, and the growth is till there, Guess I will remove it during my next water change (2morow). Weird stuff tho......

no live plants, I know that snails might be contracted when buying live plants. But it isn't my case

lol oh well guess i'll soon find out, just hope that they aren't snails(although i don't see how) but could it be some leftover angae wafers?? i'm boggled... I'll observe for another day and get back to you :)

LOL... oh ok, well i have 5 tiger barbs, red light tetra, and a common pleco. Thats about it!

animal-wise? You mean to ask me if all in my tank if safe and meant for aquarium? I'm sorry for not understanding your question.

snail eggs? from where? lol should i remove them just in case?

Hey everyone, I couldn't help but notice that im my tank this morning, there was a whitish, almost milky seethrough substance next to one of my fake plants. There are about 3 f these things present. What could they be? Is it possible that they are algae wafers that were uneaten? (since i fed...

well, the barbs go crazy even when i'm not in the room (i've peaked from around the doorway). Usually when i approach the tank, they remain calm and seldomly go nutz.

No no, I usually have the light on in the room for about 30 mins before the aquarium light does its thing! This morning the fish came out 5 minutes after the light went on (11:15am) and went back to hiding around 3pm. I guess that fish will seek shade during the course of the day..... Am i right???

3 inches? uh oh... i guess i won't be adding anymore barbs or any other fish to my tank..... gonna have to buy myself a new one later. When i bought the tank, it seemed pretty big, but soon enough, I learned that i should have opted for a bigger one.... Newbie mistake i suppose. Anyway...

Tried another small feeding attempt. this time it was successful!!!!!! :):):) All the barbs (but one) came out to munch on some flakes! Surely enough they went on to hide behind the plant as soon as food was gone, however, progress was made! I think they will get used to the light sooner...

Well, light is on, and now instead of having 2 lonely tiger barbs hiding behind the plant, i have a lovely 5 of them doing so ..... :oops: oh well, my timer is set up now, turns on at 11:15 am, and turns off at 11 pm. Gonna cross my fingers and hope it all works out! I'll keep everyone...

Have gone out to purchase some more tiger barbs. Going to add 3 more of them, hopefully it will regulate this problem.

Hey everyone, I just went out and purchased an extra tank to use as a hospital/quarantine tank. It's a 10 g (seems to be the norm) Basically, I wanted to know how to go about isolating new additions (when buying new fish) before placing them into my main tank. Thanks for all of the info!
