Get a tds pen and shoot for 250-300. Work with the water you have and do nothing. Feed only twice per week small bits, have alot of moss and dead leaves. Only top off water no water changes. I think your way over thinking things. My most successful tanks are the ones I do the least with. To...

Id sure love to know what fish she bred and sold for $30 let us know.

Id suggest youll need an extra 10g tank. Put a small plastic cup with moss in it in the main tank and remove the cup each day to the other tank or fill main tank with guppy grass for the fry to hide.

If you had deep substrate or a plenium with about 6" of substrate, full of plants and only topped off with RO water or bottled you could do fine. For fish id stick with low stock micro fish like CPD. Check out LRB aquatics.

Read the article and all he says is the water was 82 in 1 foot of water the day he was there. That I agree with but, what I said is not all year and there are many other articles or videos of the water at 78 as well. Again we all differ but, my rams have lived in Canada for over 40 years with...

I am a breeder of the much hardier GBR and all my tanks are around 78-79. My GBR are very healthy and I have never seen an issue other than when I fed blood worms so don't. If you look at some professional breeders in Israel and most in Florida do not have high temps as some claim. The GBR will...

I thought I would chime in on the fry grouping in the top corners once they are free swimming. I am certainly not coralbandit but, I have bred GBR in the thousands as well just to qualify my process. My solution was take a old dirty sponge filter from another tank and squeeze into a bucket just...

They look like tiny clear marbles say the size of those round sprinkle candies on a donut. If they are not viable they are all white not clear. If you seperate eggs from main tank into a container you can use a bit of hydrogen peroxide to keep fungus away.

German blue ram, peacock gudgeons are my choice maybe even 5 or 6 rummy nose tetras.

They will not mention aquariums because once a plant or fish is banned its irrelevant as to what someone may use it for. They cant possibly list all types of uses just the plant itself and if its on the list then that applies to indoor or outdoor water.

if the spots are not spreading in numbers I would not do anything. I have an angel with similar spot on fin and I assumed ick but, its also the go to once you get ick in a tank that all spots are ick so we panic. The angel has had same spot now for over a year and all is good and no other issues...

I find with rams too much bloodworm or surface floating foods cause similar reaction. Or a parasite which for me I used a dog dewormer panacur c and mine seemed happier. If you are feeding bloodworm only do it once a week.

I use Eheim jagger as well.

I have 4 40g breeder tanks all Tetra and very well built and no center brace, love them and getting two more next week.

id suggest peacock gudgeons a very pretty and friendly fish in a 20g. You could do a dozen or so.
