Nope. attached to driftwood.

if the tank is empty and dry I would reseal it before you do anything. Perfect opportunity and peace of mind knowing that it won't have any leaking issues.

and my Java Fern won't grow for anything, no matter what I do or try, just won't grow. Every other plant is doing fine.

silver tip tetra?

not near capacity at all

neon tetras will do fine in higher ph water, they just won't breed. If breeding is your goal, then you need your ph to be in that 4-5 range, if you are just keeping them it doesn't matter. My cardinal tetras have been in a tank that is 7.6 for coming on a year and a half and very healthy.

I do as well. Therapy.

your tank isn't cycled. quick start will help get it started, thats it. Keep an eye on your water and keep up with water changes

lava rock or bigger pebbles or stones would make for tough time to clean detritus off the bottom of tank as it will slip into the crevices. There is small gravel options you can use that are easy to clean and if you aren't doing plants you can get away with less than 2" for sure. I have larger...

describe your maintenance process when you do your water change, maybe someone here can pick up on something you may be inadvertently doing wrong. Also if going to gravel vac only do so lightly on the surface of the gravel, don't deep gravel vac unless you are only doing a quarter of the tank at...

they all look like what you say they are to me, just really young.

the question shouldn't be about ph, which is fine, but is your tank cycled yet?

Marineland Penguin cartridges suck. They plug up within a couple of weeks and flow gets reduced greatly. Cut the blue floss part off the black frame, dump out the carbon, clean the small vent like holes with a tooth brush, put a piece of filter floss against empty frame and put back in filter...

So much wrong with what you are doing. Too small of a tank, Rainbows are going to get too big for your tank. I believe they aren't really 'schooling' but they are staying together because they are stressed out. As Sara said, change out 50% of your water, wait three days then do another 50%. Stop...

Ditch the Carbon, but only do one at a time. There will be some bacteria living on that cartridge. Put in a sponge in first slot, and filter floss in second, or 1 big sponge, endless options. You don't mention what type of HOB filter?

you can tie the anubias down with thread, fishing line, or glue it to a rock or piece of driftwood.

He says his have always done better in large groups, they are more social and playful. You should see the mess when he feeds them, water everywhere, its like a shark feeding frenzy lol.

And your numbers don't make any logical sense at all. Your Nitrates can't logically go from 40-160 overnight, that doesn't make any sense. What is your water coming from and what does it test before you add it to the tank?

for starters, neither Anubias or Java Fern are stem plants. They feed off water column, if you plant the rhizome they will die.

His biggest Clown Loaches he estimates to be 26 years old. Got them right before his daughter was born, its how he keeps track. Tank is 11' long. He just recently moved all the bigger fish out of it and is currently filling it with plants and lots of nano fish.

And the importer he gets his stuff from is based in Calgary, Alberta, but he is the one who brings in the fish for him and his Sera products and other stuff from germany. The one thing I noticed different about my endlers that differ from some pictures is the dorsal fin is quite long and orange...

I'm in Canada so be tough to get some to you lol otherwise
