Otos are happy and healthy and getting bigger! :-)

Looking forward to seeing this come together

Start testing and checking for nitrites if you're seeing ammonia levels rise then drop, what temp are you keeping the tank at? I would keep it as high as your fish will tolerate.

That's actually what I might do, thanks!

I currently have a hob filter I figure that causes enough surface agitation to give adequate amount of 02. It's a 20g tank, just seeing if others agree

Trying to get an opinion, think there's a need for air stone and pump for a fully planted tank? Thanks! Joe

Woke up to a dead oto and one of the male guppies, who was also the smallest. All the other fish seem perfectly fine, energetic, and happy. All water parameters are fine: Ammonia 0ppm Nitrites 0ppm Nitrates 20ppm pH 7.8 As a side note the guppy who died also wasn't eating much. All other fish...

Was thinking of putting some kinda of moss or grass for a hideaway under my driftwood, make a sort of natural cave, or just buy one of those hang on net/cage deals to keep them in on inside of tank, don't have another tank I can keep the fry in

I have a pregnant guppy, what are some good live plants to put in the tank for them to hide in once they are born? Thanks! Joe

I have half and half, I'll stick with it for now really don't want to get rid of any. I am pushing 200gph for filtration so 10x turnover

I got them algae wafers for when their food supply dries up

It's a 20G long with PFS substrate

I plan on adding other fish over the next week, probably 2-3 swords and maybe some tetras

Cycle was 100% done today, did my 90% wc headed to LFS and finally stocked! Got 3 oto's who are already going to town on algae on glass and plants, 4 male guppies 4 female guppies, 1 male lyre tail guppy and one female lyre tail guppy who I got already with a belly full of fry!

After calling 5 stores in CT, one finally could get in what I needed but only minimum of 2pounds each, may just order online now
