The loach's 29 gallon tank journal

There's no other way to pay, like send cash over there or something?

Or just get one dwarf gourami? Don't need to get multiple ones.

And maybe you could add a few more fish to your schools.

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

Yea, I already have one dwarf gourami
I think that dragon girl is right, I have enough fish

You can go into Walmart (or any store nowadays) and just pick up a check card, that you put cash on right there and pay online things with that. For example I have a vanilla visa (I think another is green dot visa? There a few out there). I got it for 1$ or so and put 25$ on it at the register. It doesn't link to your bank account or anything. They have a few like that, I prefer to use those to buy things online cause its safer.

Loach your all over the map! Lol good for u tho man. Keep on fish keeping brother

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

Thanks if my parents would just let me put the leopard gecko cage on top of my drawer, my desk would be able to keep a 55 gallon tank!

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

Ok, so this weekend I was going to get everithing to finish my aquascaping, but I might have lost my high school literature book, and it costs 80 dollars to replace it, so If I did loose it I might have to hault the tank for a while:/

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

So, I added a cave today for the fish, I added a java fern, and two more amazon swords, all I need for the aquascaping is to add dwarf hair grass all over the floor
How does it look?

DHG might be a little too difficult with the lighting you have and without co2, I suggest researching it a little more before making your purchase so you know what you're getting. Tank is coming along nicely

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

I still need
The dwarf hair grass
7 neon tetras
5 red eye tetras
1 German blue ram
1 Bolivian ram
3 peppered corys
4 otocinclus

Thanks!
The pump I have won't work by putting in co2?
Do I have too much lighting?

The air pump and air stone? This won't add any extra co2 to your tank. Supplemental co2 is added by a DIY yeast and sugar reactor or a pressurized co2 cylinder. I doubt you have too much light, DHG is a high light plant. What light do you have again?

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

It is the light from my desk, but it is brighter than an led light, it lights up my whole room with no other light, and from about 7 am to 6pm it gets my window light, and from 6 to about 11 it gets that super high light
How do I add the co2 and how much, is it a thing that I can just get a tube in the water and blow in co2 for 10 minutes a day, or is it something that I need to supplement all day long? All my other plans ave been fine with nothing added on

Co2 can be quite expensive or it can be relatively cheap. A quick google search can give you more information about co2 systems than you ever need to know. It's also not about how much light but how much of correct light. With using a lamp that's not dedicated to the tank and window light I would assume that it probably won't do what you're wanting the plant to do

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

By window light i mean natural sunlight (sorry if you know what I mean by window light)
The light is not a lamp, you know how those hood lights have the bulb that is long and cylindrical, it is the same thing but double the size and light it gives of

Do you have some sort of a CO2 system? without it the chance of you succeeding in growing out the dwarf hairgrass is very minimum IMO

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

No, all that I have in there is that airstone in the back, what is a cheap way to put in co2?

 

[Goldfish loach boy]

I think I'm buying this, it's 15 dollars, I need to put 3 mililliters every day if I'm correct, and it has 16 ounces, so that will last me about 169 days, which is ok, so is it good?
Also, in a pretty far future(maybe six or seven months) I'll be changing my gravel for plant fertilizer, the fertilizer won't harm my fish right?
Also, the co2 won't harm my fish or parameters right?, also, I am going to put root tablets in, so will this be good?
