I have had a couple of them - great fish! But I would not characterize them as peace-loving )

Rings are for water flow partition so water goes through sponge evenly.

I was talking about the first level in the direction of water movement.

Colisa lalia - beautiful and peace-loving fish.

Plants consume co2 only whith light. Low light plants will grow much better with more intensive lighting. You will see )

Yes, I think it could be enough.

That is why you need more lighting.

Great tank! The mine is very similar to yours ) the combination of black gravel and light green plants is so colourful! You created good filter but I know that the ceramic rings should be as the first level.

Hi! If you are going to have planted tank, you need to add more lighting and illuminate the tank about 10-12 hours a day. As soon as you are using CO2 sistem it is necessary to apply ferts. And you have to block CO2 for the night or fish will be poisoned.

The ammonia level is really high. Rapidly growing plants is one of ways to make it lower. Я буду очень рад пообщаться как на русском, так и на английском! )

I may be mistaken but I suppose that the massive water change is not good. Aquarium is a small delicate ecosystem so as variant I would recommend to do water change twice a day. It is more laborious process but it worth it.

Bacteria is the guarantee of successful aquarium setup, isn't it? When you do such a large water change you may kill bacteria again and again.

What colors do you like in general? Fry are almost colorless.

It is dangerous for bacteria, daily 50% change is more than enough.

I have never boiled stones too and think it is enough to scrub and wash it in warm water.

It depends on your preferences. As for fry, they have chances to servive in common tank if you add more plants.

Ideal aquarium is a model of nature reservoir so if you love your fish, you would not let them be like canned herring.

Good news, thanks! I have two couples of Microgeophagus ramirezi with lots of cherry shrimp. Sometimes fish successfully hunt for shrimps children and I thought that Betta is strong enought to hunt down all the adult shrimps.

Once a day! It's more than enough!!!

Photo is needed. In general algae grows when plants cant compete with them for getting nutrition. What the light do you use?

I've had Gouramis, they are the biggest gluttons I have ever seen! Annnie is absolutely right, Gouramis are interested only in food. Their stomach instead of the brain :)

I've kept Guppies with Black Skirts and there was no problem... But it is my experiens. I would recommend try again.

Guppies usually are very hardy so I would suggest to make one more attempt and change a pet store. Good luck!
