Saw this lil guy eating some flake food today he's no bigger than a piece of gravel but he's the only surviver

Indeed I read in a few places to remove carbon and filter pad as it will cause the Bb to colonize on the pad which is a waste since the pads have to be changed

Removing the any carbon and turning off any UV sterilzer for at least 48 to 72 hours after adding any bottle bacteria is important in making it work/settle as it allows the bacteria to settle in the right places and not be removed by carbon or killed by uv, many people I talk to forget to do...

Indeed i know carbon doesn't kill algae now : ) : ) but i thought at first my issue was floating debris so i switched to a filter pad instead of cartridge, however that was not the case, the black out helped alot, so did massive water changes like everyday, but i didnt want to deal with all that...

ty ty, all 5 of them have been that deep cherry red for about 3 weeks now

right on, :thanks:, im feeding omega one food, which contains salmon skin that is suppose to enhance color, however the gourami rarely gets up there for flake food, as my platys eat like zebra danios, however the gourami always gets lots of brine shrimp when i feed that, with that said will...

just some photos i took tonight with my cell

Anyone help me gender this dwarf gourami? I think its a female but the girl at my LFS said it could be a male in need of color enhancing food
