The betta and 5 cories were added about 3 weeks ago but that was already after this cory started being sick. After adding more fish, I change 40% of the water instead of the usual 30% water changes that I do...

Hi all, I have a sick bronze corydora and I have no idea what the problem is. I have had this fish for 2 years now (the first fish I bought) with other 2 bronze cories. He is still active, sometimes swims the whole aquarium during the day and appears to be eating with the rest of the cories but...

It seems you are right, I feel a bit dumb now, I had no idea they can rot. I will replant them and try not to break them. Thank you for all the feedback everyone, I need to learn how to replant the plants without hurting them. I will reapply some root tabs, stop using my Tetra liquid CO2 and...

Thank you everyone for the insightful messages. This is how my tank looks now, the plants used to be more bushy. Most algae is now on the Anubias, it grows new leaves sometimes but they do not look as big or healthy as the leaves it grew before. I have the easylife root sticks but have not...

Btw I wrote my parameters in the above edited post. I tried a blackout once, it nearly killed the plants but did not affect the algae. For a time I reduced my lighting to about 5 hrs per day and I saw no change. I might try that again tho and see if it helps.. Algae is not much of an issue now...

Thank you for the reply! I have the Juwel RIo aquarium set which involves MultiLux LED 60 cm 2x12W (1x12 W DAY & 1x12 W NATURE and I leave it on for about 10 to 12 hours. Unfortunately I live in central EU and I have not seen any of the ferts you mentioned, not even in our online shops. As for...

Hello, I am here again after a long time, in need of help... this time, it is the plants. I am anti-talent for plants, even in aquariums. It seems like I do everything wrong. Can you please help me care for plants or tell me how to care for them better? I have had my 33gal aquarium for almost...

Thanks for the tip... the fish already died a couple hours after this thread

Hello, today I found an injured Cory laying upside down in the tank. It has a red belly and is breathing fast. Is it injured? Here is some info: Tank information: My tank has been running for 7 months, is 125l , heated at 24 C, has a filter. Stocking: 1 Pearl Gourami, 5 male guppies, 5 neon...

As the title says, I never thought I would have an assassin snail problem as everyone says they breed so slowly. You can see my aquarium information on my profile. 6 months ago I got my 32 gallon aquarium but I had a pond snail problem very soon. I bought 2 Assassin snails but they could not...

Hello, I have a planted tank, you can see my parameters on my profile. Problem is, I have a constant problem with green thread algae (have to get rid of them every week), and dark green algae covers almost every plant. On top of that, my plants are obviously deficient. Any tips or products for...

Another update! I got a pond snail problem because I have hair algae. I am currently on the 2nd day of my blackout, hoping I would make the algae go away and cut off the pond snail's food source. It does not seem to help, I peeked in today. My plants just looked sad but with hair algae on them...

I will think about that, good to know I can fit in more fish

Hello, so, you can see my stock in my aquarium details. I was wondering if I can add more fish as I love having many different species. Maybe a small pleco species, or a couple of ottos, or a bigger fish type like a swordtail perhaps? How many more until I start being overstocked? I am also...

A little update! I got helanthium tenellum and bacopa australis today, with easylife root sticks and seachem flourish. I hope my plants will thrive. I also got 6 neon tetras and a additional male guppy and 3 more assassin snails because the pond snail population is growing fast. Could I add...
