Well I just got back from my lfs after football practice, I ordered lemon tetras, red pencil tetras. And purchased some christmas moss which 99% is probably not from the xingu river... But I have read a few places that it may have originated from SA (doubt it) but it works haha

Sweet! How many of each?

 

[BLUEaquarium06]

Right now 5 of each, I'm hoping they breed but I'll most likely be buying more of both

I bargained with him a little, I guess he had been in the tank for sale for almost 4 months and no one was interested in him

Will the GN eat glass shrimp?

Will the GN eat glass shrimp?

Not sure. The consensus on bristlenose and rcs has been that they will eat babies and when full grown possibly adults.

 

[BLUEaquarium06]

Well... As I am slowly transforming the aqua scape to my xingu river bio type i discovered my GN has ich and fairly bad too... I've never personally treated ich before, is there any way I can treat it without using meds?

Bring the temp up as high as you can and try to create a stress free area. I would recommend a quarantine if you have one.

Like 86° F? Around that? My heater goes up to 94° Would assume that's way to much

 

[Dubs1281]

What ever the max temp a gold nugget can go plus 2-3º. 86 should be great.

Aquarium salt helps too, try that. It's not really a medication and infact is good for fish no matter what generally

Ok thank you very much
