Fluval Spec V Updated #8 One more longer video of the tank. :fish2:

Fluval Spec V Update #7 So Loachless and snail less (minus the banana plant that died) My tank is starting to mature. I have to prune some plants but for the most part everything is doing well. Inferno took my sick fish's old tank (the one with Pop eye) So the healthier pop-eye fish (yes...

You think this is snail poop? If that is the case Im getting rid of the snail after it cycles!! Gross~:whip: :fish2:

Fluval Spec Vee w Update #6 Sooo... A lot has happened since this tanks planting...and subsequent death of fishes and plants and now I have balanced (I hope for the last time) the nitrites and ammonia in this tank. I have also removed all "land" plants and now have all aquatic species in...

Bettas are extremely smart and can be trained like a dog to jump, go through an underwater hoop (pipe cleaners), and even come to your hand when you wave your fingers. I know she is a little girl (and sort of annoying voice) but if she can do it...so can you! Watch this video: :fish2:

Do you think that is his "eye" hanging out? :cry: *shudder* I am not sure if I should leave it or try to see if it comes off (probably too much trauma for the little guy). Just at odds with this. His other eye seems fine. THAT other one, though, is def messed up. :fish2:

Eye was not saved... :( So he is beginning to act like this old self again...but we lost the eye. I think it popped :facepalm: when I was dosing his medicine and changing the water in his cup daily. I would put him in a net for a few moments and he kept flopping around in it...so I assume...

Where do you buy peat?

How do you lower hardness. My water is crazy hard too apparently I was misreading it.

Types of plants in tank: Dan, Thanks for your feedback and thanks to Fresh2o~ These are the plants in my tank: -Dracaena sanderiana -Lilaeopsis novaezelandiae (think that is the mini swords) -Eustralis stellata -Microsorum pteropus 'Windelov' and -Hemigraphis colorata The bolded ones I...

Thanks Barliman. The loach should be able to live there I thought (he is a baby) and I can move him to another tank (friends 20 gallon) when adult. You think not? And I did pull out that plant BTW. I read a few site descriptions of loaches and my water parameters are good etc. For...

Looks Great! Nice job! :flowers: :fish2:
