Yeah I agree about turning off the CO2, the tank honestly doesn't look so heavily planted or have a lot of high needs plants to require it tbh

African clawed frogs can get the size of a hand and will trying to eat anything they think they can fit in their mouth, goldfish get pretty big and create a lot of waste, I would suggest separating them before something happens and looking and getting a bigger tank for the goldfish. What kind of...

That's a pregnant female guppy, not a danio.

I would just let it settle and start cycling. Sometimes between sand and very tiny air bubbles from filling in the water you'll get a cloudy look at first. I'm sure the big piece of wood will leach lots of tannins over time but that's going to be normal too although some people don't like the...

I had one that never stayed in the tank, it finally died if I recall correctly. It's honestly why I will never get nerites again. It was my first and last lol.

That is a very small tank for tiger barbs tbh. If he was there first then he is going to be more territorial about his space. I would take them all out, rearrange the tank and then put them all back in together, they should hopefully settle in then. They will still harass each other, that's just...

How big is the tank and what other fish were you considering?

ANY time you look at adding stock or asking compatibility, tank size comes into question. Some fish need specialized habitats, some have larger bio loads, some are territorial or have different swimming zones etc. Tanks are a closed ecosystem and when you start adding fish it WILL affect your...

Cut back on feeding for sure, and then do a lettuce bait. They'll be super hungry and you'll get more. You can also ask around and see if anyone with puffers is looking for free or cheap snails at your lfs too

The thing with tall tanks is that while you have the volume, the swimming space is limited, so really active fish aren't going to have the room they need. Dwarf gouramis would be nice. You could also check out nano fish, they're tiny but you can have more activity without the size. Dwarf cories...

No more fish, you're going to need a bigger tank to house what you already have even without adding more fish, and if you have a common goldfish you'll need an even bigger tank than you think. Goldfish a massive waste producers, plecos are too. I'd wait till you upgrade before adding anything...

What are the levels you are showing for the tank? And was that only two water changes in 3 months? Did you keep the same media when you swapped filters? If it's not a bacterial bloom or a cycle issue then it might be algae, how long do you leave the lights on for?

They are shy fish that like to stick together and prefer hiding spots so you may want to create an area they can be tucked away without completely disappearing.

Good luck finding the gobies, I've been looking for years and have only found like two places that had them, but both had stopped selling fish already :/

Figured you guys would understand lol
