Yes, you can use them! I have some in my Wife's tank which is currently cycling, no water parameter issues

Hi, Any news?

Thanks man Pearl danios do look great! I still like the idea of the rams as a centrepiece and maybe the pearl danios with the rummynose and cardinals? They should all be compatible i believe, maybe add a few red cherry ?

I second this, do 25% water changes daily, this will help more than anything else

What are the water parameters? Did you follow the instructions on the bottle?

Hi, You received the tank in the beginning of June. Did you cycle it at all? Or are you using safe start right off the bat?

!!!! I can pay two months rent with that money! It equates to over R17000 (Rand)

Howsit guys! I have been busy rebuilding my 250 Liter Tank. Photos attached! I can't seem to decide on what fish i want to stock. :fish1: The setup i originally aimed for was an african chiclid mbuna tank, but have since changed my mind, afraid of mixing species up too much and having to go...

Thank you. This will be a new endeavor, something i haven't done before, so any advice is appreciated. What types of softies would i be able to grow? I am still learning and researching saltwater tanks.

Update: So it has been a few days since i did the epsom salt bath, but no improvement thus far. Now i am at a crossroad - do i wait a week an do another salt bath or do i put the poor fishes down? Doesn't look like the fish is getting worse, but not better also.

Thanks for the advice. So i am assuming if the neither Tetra gets better within a day or so, i would be best to put them down?

Update! So i got some epsom salts, and did a partial water change on my 50 liter pleco tank to make sure parameters are in check. Busy acclimatizing the tetra, i moved another tetra with him, looks like he has a lump on his side. I am going to add the 1/4 epsom salt mix every 4 hours. Just...

Hi, Autumnsky Fish is still heave bloated, doesn't like like a pinecone, scales are still flat. It's not very active, but swims around a bit, mostly hangs around in the corner of the tank. Water condition is still good according to the test kits, and we do weekly water changes. I will give...

Howsit guys I have been recently busy with my tank, it has been an established tank for about 3 months with no ammonia or nitrite readings, only some occasional nitrate readings indicating a water change. It was really heavily planted and it developed a really bad snail infestation, so I...

Btw I am picking up my co2 bottle on Saturday, more issues than come I'm sure I am going to inject using the method in this video

Hey I have scratched around and found some extra extenders for my spray bars, I have drilled extra holes in the green to match the amount of holes in the black, I have increased the size on all of them by about 1mm, positioned them towards the back facing down a little bit and I have removed...

:thanks:Thanks so much:thanks: I am going to add some holes in the spray bar and open them a bit to decrease pressure, move them and angle them towards the back downwards.

Looks like i will have to take out the controller, the pumps don't like to be switched on and off. The one is making a clicking noise now when it starts. I also noticed when either one of them starts, sometimes they run in reverse for a sec or so and then go in the right direction. It is...

It seems that it is working well, the water is more calm and the plants have settled down. My powerheads are at the sides of the tank facing each other. I have attached a drawing of my existing setup and the setup recommended by King Fisher if i understand correctly The only problem for me...
