Could I get a full back view if possible?

It looks as if you already have overflow boxes in?

There would be little to no water in it? Only substrate for the frogs?

It’s completely normal for driftwood. Harmless to fish but non aesthetically appealing. Just scrub it off with a brush and put it back in if you don’t want it there [emoji106].

It absolutely is an amazing hobby with endless knowledge and limitless possibilities. We’re all in it together and here to help! [emoji23][emoji106]

I would also prepare just a little extra water just in case. A small water change about midway will keep stress levels at a minimum. Not required but a little something extra to increase success chances. Otherwise the previous comments were well written and I would follow those fairly close...

Yeah, they get fairly large but 40 is fine. Maybe a few other fish but not a lot as you have to plan for them being 4-6 inches ish

Sounds like a plan! Keep us updated! I definitely want to know how it goes!

Well it’s not colored necessary (green) so it’s not a lack of filtration, or algae bloom, your bio load is safe as well. In your case I would leave the tank to settle. Wait about 5 days which is plenty of time to start seeing results. This is natural for new tanks, as substrate always clouds the...

Great start! You’ve been through half the battle picking fish out and researching! In my many years of keeping angles and silver dollars in particular I have never had a problem with them together. But every fish is different! [emoji23] the first setup sounds good on paper for sure though. You...

Interesting problem... sorry to hear about it. As far as help goes I have some info that may help and we can figure it out from there. I had a similar thing happen to me with swordtails and mollies. Typically they were fine, but in my case I had more fish. Now all fish obviously are different...

Personally I wouldn’t even get the neons. I’ve had both kinds of fish and just by personal experience and observations my Bichir has and will just swallow them up. Especially with the right conditions it would be a playful hunt for the Bichir, and at night it would be a nightmare if the neons...

I don’t have as much experience as some in the medical side of fish, but I can tell you to leave the neons in the quarantine tank for a good amount of time. Make sure the current effects like the white spots have gone down and then do some water changes on that tank. Maybe wait a few more days...

What’s your question? Is it how to remove that sting algae or help the plants?

Thanks for the help! I know the run down of the basics and what happens when they swallow rocks, I was just looking to see if anyone knew any other tips. But since you’re the only person who commented I guess that’s all! [emoji23][emoji106]. Thx and I’ll keep you updated
