Mokapi said:Okay, so Prime, a gravel vac, a thermometer...anything else I should pick up tomorrow? Plant substrate?
If the heater ISN'T working, does anyone have a recommendation?
Mokapi said:Cool! I'll just get the Anubias then. And maybe a java fern if we have any on sale.
For the past two or three hours Ruber's been sitting on the gravel behind the ornament...he's swam up to the top to get air a few times, but otherwise isn't doing much. Is he okay?
Mokapi said:Oh no I don't have one yet. Was there a specific one? I added in some info about what he was doing to my previous post. My ghost shrimp started swimming around and startled him and he's swimming again but now I'm nervous that a piece of his tail is gone Could the shrimp be picking at him?
Mokapi said:Okay, tonight I was able to buy the siphon and the Prime BUT we're out of glass thermometers...and we don't carry that API kit. Is there a similar one? We carry one that's pH only and ammonia only :/
And I have a few more questions about the plants before I dive in- the Anubias and Java fern will grow in weak light, right? Will anything else? I want to get rid of these fake plants ASAP but don't want to throw in something that will die. There is a lamp right next to the fish tank that's on for a fair few of hours daily, and especially at night, or there's the weak LEDs.
I did a PWC of probably 45% (I went a little overboard), and then added back in the warm water with the Prime and Ruber responded immediately. Not too much stuff came up in the siphon, but there are particles floating around and it looks GROSS. I should do one of these daily, then?
Mokapi said:And do I bury the roots? Someone said earlier no extra substrate is needed. Do I buy plant food?
Mokapi said:What about anachris (sp?)? We have bunches of it in a snail tank and it kind of just sits there, but it's pretty
Mokapi said:Okay
Will he appreciate a heavily planted tank, or would he want more room to swim around?
