When you start looking at trees as potential driftwood.

Yeah research is sooo important. I read somewhere that fish will actively try to scare off other fish that are sick, not sure how true that is. Could that be why the corries got bullied? they may have already been sick b4 you bought them. Sorry you lost another one.

Goodluck hope it all works out for you!! PS I would keep a close eye on the parameters. The soil WILL leach ammonia into the water. Fitabout may have had luck in his/her setup, i personally wouldn't take the chance.

I used organic potting soil as well. great stuff. Initially i had massive phosphate issues arising from the dirt. This basically turned my entire tank into an algae cesspit. Still fighting it off. In another tank did the same however this time i did a dry start for about 8weeks. Have had no...

Wow, scary!!! How can we make sure we dont get fish with this disease? I bought some glass catfish the other day for my low light tank. Some of them were bent at the spine???

yes they do!!

Snails are super cool!!! Just keep an eye on them too. Ive had huge issues with them over populating my tank as well. Mine came free with some plants so i wasnt sure what kind they were - at the time i was overfeeding. Little did i know i was fueling a massive snail army.

Yeah im sorry, it is a lot to take in. The more reading you do the more it makes sense. By the way; that’s simply the method I chose. There are plenty of ways to look after them. By using indian almond leaves – I am softening my water. The leaves remove metals from my tap water – I still use...

I’ve never been able to get antibiotics for fish in Australia. As for discus, basically any professional article you can find. There are plenty of threads on this forum. There are different ways to look after them – and you will need to go the direction that best suits you. I went down the path...
