    Best Tank mate choice

    I do give him other things to eat. He's a fan of plain shrimp pellets and will latch onto those for awhile. I also sometimes switch them out for algea waffers (broken up a bit) He used to grab them with his mouth and swim off to his cave it eat it alone, it was cute. But now he's calmed down...

    Best Tank mate choice

    Ok thanks for you input. I know where the danio's come from by the way. I've never really had a problem with the Danio's, they used to pester the neons but now they leave them alone and stick to themselfs. Arnt Rams also called Dwarf ButterFly Cichilids?

    bubble curtain

    I guess its some kind of algea, I get it on my air stone too. One thing you could try is soak it in hot water. It always kills the brown algea I get on mine, turns green :wink: Then it seems to come out as soon as I plug it back in.

    Green water saga......phosphates?

    Remove everything but fish and gravel. Do a complete cleaning of the gravel making sure to get everything out. Take a much time as you need I did a 67% change but my tap water and tank water are the same. Give all your filters a cleaning in a bucket full of decloritnated water. Then give what...

    Brown algae plague!!

    I've found a easy way to get rid of the algae of the plants. Take the bucket you use for water changes and fill it will really hot water. Then just let the plants sit in it for 10 minutes, give it a quick rinse and place back in the tank.
