I have had a couple of them - great fish! But I would not characterize them as peace-loving )

Rings are for water flow partition so water goes through sponge evenly.

I was talking about the first level in the direction of water movement.

Colisa lalia - beautiful and peace-loving fish.

Plants consume co2 only whith light. Low light plants will grow much better with more intensive lighting. You will see )

Yes, I think it could be enough.

That is why you need more lighting.

Great tank! The mine is very similar to yours ) the combination of black gravel and light green plants is so colourful! You created good filter but I know that the ceramic rings should be as the first level.

Hi! If you are going to have planted tank, you need to add more lighting and illuminate the tank about 10-12 hours a day. As soon as you are using CO2 sistem it is necessary to apply ferts. And you have to block CO2 for the night or fish will be poisoned.

The ammonia level is really high. Rapidly growing plants is one of ways to make it lower. Я буду очень рад пообщаться как на русском, так и на английском! )

I may be mistaken but I suppose that the massive water change is not good. Aquarium is a small delicate ecosystem so as variant I would recommend to do water change twice a day. It is more laborious process but it worth it.

Bacteria is the guarantee of successful aquarium setup, isn't it? When you do such a large water change you may kill bacteria again and again.

What colors do you like in general? Fry are almost colorless.

It is dangerous for bacteria, daily 50% change is more than enough.
