Without a doubt, you will have to empty the tank and place the combination of substrates that you want to use, you can take the opportunity to rebuild the aquascape, it is fun but laborious.

Hello again guys, I haven't been in the forum for several months, so I wanted to update my previous thread and I couldn't respond, I decided to create a new thread explaining everything that has happened since then. I have two quarantine tanks, one 25 gallon and another 10 gallon tank, I...

Hello Amy, I must say that your tank looks pretty good, that does not seem to be done by a beginner, I'm happy when an aquarist changes his artificial decorations for plants and natural elements, not only do you do a good in terms of aesthetics, but also your fish, more comfort and less stress...

Man that looks pretty good, I like your new rock. Are you not using any support between your tank and the wooden base? Styrofoam works quite well to distribute the weight of the tank.

So you have hit the nail on the head, sometimes gouramis are also usually aggressive, I had a pearl gourami that was aggressive with some of my angels, they can also grow to a considerable size.

Hi again Kyle, I personally like to take my time when I go to do a re-scape in my tank, so I remove all the water, decoration and carefully also the fish and start from scratch, it's a process of hours, yes you are going to place a couple of layers of substrate for plants just imagine your fish...

Hi Kyle, sorry for the late reply. The tiger barbs and the danios are quite active species, as for the tigers it may not be aggressive but they tend to annoy other fish because their behavior is curious and sometimes they bite the fins or are so active that they scare other calmer fish. I don't...

Your tank looks pretty good, personally I'm not a big fan of plastic plants but that definitely looks good, keep in mind that rainbowfishes and denisonii barbs are shoal fish, they work well with 7 or 8 singles, although 75 gallons such once it's not enough for a group of denisoni barbs, for...

Possibly some blow from the female betta or some internal problem of the fish. To be honest, I don't think the water chemistry is affecting just one fish or a change in temperature, it affects all the fish in the aquarium.

To be honest, I don't know much about these varieties of cichlids but I think that during ich, it's not good to increase the temperature of the water because your fish or fish could become even more stressed and give the parasite more opportunities, I have always been against this, I think if...

In addition to what Aiken told you, I want to add that glofish often die out of nowhere, they are quite commercial fish and are sold a lot for children and aquarist beginners who are attracted by their phosphorescent colors, I know from a good source that these artificially set colors will of...

Hi Alice, I'm not very familiar with large cyclids, but doing a quick search I see that both of your IDs are correct, just make sure you offer a space big enough for the two of them. I found some pictures of the long-finned convict cyclid, the fish in your photo look a bit sloppy, offer good...

Excellent, I see what appears to be a xanthurus angel, how does he behave with your damsels?

Those are pretty nice fish, I see you have several damsels, you have no problem with aggression? I would add more rock to your tank but overall it looks good, what are you using as a substrate? Is it black sand? What size is your tank?

Well, it's possible that I will be setting up the tank in the next few weeks, I now have a contact who quarantines the saltwater fish and "vaccinates" them against Cryptocarion and oodinum, with an oregano based method, so I would buy fish from there and they would still receive my quarantine...

I just read your article Andy, some things are clearer for me now. There is an aquarist here in Mexico who has a quarantine system in place and always working, and if a fish has problems then he goes to the hospital tank and leaves his quarantine tank without fish for several weeks (My main tank...

Well, unfortunately Paraguard was not what I expected, I was almost sure that it was going to be completely successful and as I saw that the points in the emperor angel began to go away quickly and that the fish was also big I was sure that I could pull it off. It was not like that, I have asked...

I have always been confident that freshwater fish are adaptable to other water conditions as long as they are not so extremely different, I don't think using well water is the best for these fish, you may want to use conditioners on these cases if you cannot get softer water, but I cannot...

Hi Andy, thanks for your opinion, to be honest I feel quite overwhelmed now, it's as if everything I have read and learned is useless because apparently there are several ways / methods to install a quarantine tank and a tank of hospital. I know that many quarantine their fish (I'm talking about...

I use drinking water with a pH ranging from 7.2 to 7.4 for my freshwater fish, I think you can change your well water to drinking water. I would not classify the Apistogrammas as super delicate fish but you should be aware that the water quality does not deteriorate too much.

Interesting thread, I have kept Apistogramma trifasciata, Steel blue (super aggressive), and Apistogramma borelli, all males, I'm in Mexico and it's difficult to get them in pairs, I attach a photo of my beautiful trifasciata, it only lasted a few months with me.

Observe the decomposition of the fins, it was practically from one day to the next, very aggressive.

Well, unfortunately I lost my angel emperor a few days ago, I still don't understand how it happened, it is ridiculous to have lost a fish that ate from my hand and fed quite well, excellent to be exact, I made a time line and I hope to get some opinion about what could happen, here you go...

Yes. I agree.

Thanks for your contributions guys, I was also thinking of keeping some species of Parasphromenus, but I'm in Mexico and here it is very difficult to obtain them, I have never seen them available.
