Angel Fish nose up
Thank You.
I plan to do another water change tomorrow. I will do a 50%. The ph is down to 6.5. Everyone looks good. 29 gallon tank. Temp is 82.9. Inhabits are 1 Angel Fish, 1 Pleco, 3 Bengal Loach, 2 Blue Rainbow, 1 Red Rainbow, 1 Dension Barb (Red Line) 3 Serpae Tetras and 5 Moonlight Gouramis I notice today, the Tetras were nipping at the Angel Fish. (first time ever) I fed everyone and it seems to be fine. I figured since Christmas I added the Loaches, Tetras and Gouramis, a week apart. I would like to add an apple snail and other small snails. I was informed that the loaches eat the snails. Is this true. I didn't see this when I had them before. And am I at my limit. I read that the Tetras are better at 5. I prefer to add 2 more bengal loaches.
That is why the filter was really dirty, I needed to change it more often now that I have additional fish.
I don't scrub. I use a small tooth brush to clean the removable tube that sucks up the water and goes into the pump. I also use a pipe cleaner. Everything is just cleaned and rinsed with warm water. I do not use any chemicals of any kind. I also know not to clean the glass with nothing but a damp cloth. I use paper towels.
I have two other tanks, a 10 gallon with 4 guppies, 3 neons and 1 baby guppy that survived from the original 8 I had. This is in a breeder floating holder.
The third tank is a 2 gallon which I had a beta and the neons, but the beta died. So, I have a light blue crawfish, that was a baby from another crawfish. This one ended up eating his brothers and sister. He is by himself. Didn't think I could put anything alive with him.
Prior to this, I have had red claw crabs and a blue lobster. They lived for a good time. But I don't want to invest in any more exotic species. Outside I have a small man made pond in the court yard with 8 gold fish.
As you see, this is a hobby of mine.
Thank You for all your assistance.
