Thanks! I was thinking of changing the substrate to sand. Sounds like i have a lot of work cut out for me

my two dwarf puffers are great. I believe they are both female, so that may be why they get along in their 10 gallon tank. They leave their 5 ghost shrimps alone as well. A male dwarf puffer is more likely to be aggressive than a female, I believe. My two females only get nippy during feeding...

I have two dwarf puffers and five ghost shrimp I currently am NOT happy with the set up. It is very cluttered and I want to redo the substrate and move the plants around. several questions 1) what is the best way to remove the fish? Should I place them in their current tank water? 2) how...

Dwarf puffers are tiny little freshwater fish that'll hunt and destroy snails for food. however, dwarf puffers are very territorial and are typically considered aggressive. I have two of them in my 10 gallon along with 7 ghost shrimp. mine are very friendly towards one another, at the moment (...

Dwarf puffers will hunt snails

In my 10 gallon tank ( It's going through its Fishless Cycle, near completion) I have amazon swords, Java moss, anubias, and wisteria. One of my anubias started to turn yellow-brown, and im assuming its dying. I might have buried the roots or did something wrong so that its dying. The other...

I did about three more water changes since i've made this thread and the nitrites are still really high. In addition i've added about 5 plants. Im hoping the high nitrites will not stall the cycle. Im going to be dosing ammonia less, probably 2 ppm every OTHER day. I want my dwarf puffer fish

In my tank I have a {mod edit} poor LED light that I recently learned is not supportive of plants that need medium-high light. I went and bought amazon swords and was wondering if one hour of direct sun light everyday would be enough to keep them alive and green. I personally don't care if...

Yeah I feel silly for thinking it was heavily planted. I still feel that this is a good amount of live plants for two dwarf puffers

You have to take into consideration the fact that my tank is 10 gallons. I have a total of seven plants in there at the moment ( anubias, amazon sword, and wisteria ). I haven't taken into consideration the java moss. I want more anubias plants because I have a low light output Im hoping my...

I want to house two dwarf puffers, so I need to break their vision. I would still like to hear more opinions

10 gallon FW aquarium right here. Going through it's fishless cycle :fish2: would you consider my tank heavily planted?

I just dont have the room to keep a subtle 10g snail breeder tank. I could potentially do five gallon, but I would rather find ways to work with my current 1.5g tank. maybe i'll just throw them into my 10 gallon cycled puffer fish tank, with no puffer fish, and let them breed like crazy...

For my dwarf puffers, I want to breed feeder snails. I currently have a 1.5 gallon set up. so far I have turned one pond snail into atleast 20. However, I want more snails. In addition to wanting more snails, I want healthy snails. How often should I clean the tank? As of now, i've been...

By the way, this is a fishless cycle

Before my 50/60% water change. Ammonia - Ammonia would never fall below 1 to 2 ppm. I would redose it to 4, and the next day it would be 2 ppm. I would let it sit, and it would hover around 2-1 ppm. Nitrite - Dark purple. way over 5ppm Nitrate - between 80-160 for over three days. pH - over...

idk much about mixing the dwarf puffers and cories ( I am buying 2 dwarf puffers for my 10 gallon soon) BUT i know that in a heavily planted/ decorated tank that a total of six fishes could potentially get a long since 20 gallons is quite a bit of space. I honestly think you will be okay. It...

Interested in java moss, let me know how much !

Hi, I want to use some flourish Excel, but have read that some individual's fishes died due to the usage of this product. Can anyone tell me their personal experience with this product? I have a 10 gallon FW tank with anubias in it under a really low LED light. the plants that I intend to use...

My current readings are ammonia - 2.0 nitrite - 5.0 + (its a very deep purple, so its off the charts) nitrate - between 5 and 10 ( I honestly cannot tell...) pH - 7.6 + ( I test it with the lower range pH, and its always a deep blue) EDIT: I just checked my pH with a high level test and it is...

Would re arranging my tank's plants, decoration, and filter cause any problems with my tank AFTER it completely cycles?

If my cycle is COMPLETE will adding more than 4 ppm create more nitrite producing bacteria?

I have two clams and some snails in a small 2 gallon tank. I want to put some algae from a pond outside. Is this a good idea to keep them fed? At the moment I am only feeding them left over "ADF pellets" to sustain them.

Hello, I currently have my 10 gallon tank cycling, and its showing nitrates =) took about 2-3 weeks, so i'm glad things are comming together. I have a question in regards to making a SUPER strong bio filter. In theory, After my tank has fully cycled, ( ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate, below 20)...
