Thanks! Because of. his genetics color changes can be ongoing. I think becuause it was red it was freaking me out.

ank What is the water volume of the tank? 10 gallon How long has the tank been running? 6 months Does it have a filter? Yes, sponge Does it have a heater? yes What is the water temperature? 79F What is the entire stocking of this tank? 1 male HM betta, 5 pygmy cories, two nerite snales...

It'ws been awhile! I ended up making it a home for my betta, Long, and a few ember tetras and a nerite. It's naturalizing nicely and Long is nice to his neighbors. I put in a few red rilli shrimp and have only seen one lately. I"m thinking of trying a less conspicuous coloration.

Update: the tank is thriving! My two remaining gobies appear to be girls. I'd love to add a male, but that type is hard to find locally and it's expensive to have them shipped.

Correction: I use Fritz Turbo. It comes with a cold back and you keep it in the fridge. It lasts a long time. I've cycled a number of tanks, fish in and fishless. FT is the best I've found, but it's not a single application process. I couldnt' tell from your post if you were doing daily water...

I really appreciate that. Apology accepted.

No that was the 10 gallon in the OP. which I have since shifted him over to. I see that the pic of the 5 didn't up load I created the contouring left and back with bags of leftover controsand. so the substrate isn't actually that deep. But on the right I could take some out. More plants...

I have used Controsoil in all my tanks with no issues. It's easy to use, no rinsing, and the plants do great. It comes in different sizes, and black and brown.

I'm in a bit of a dilemma and hope for friendly advice. I've been creating tanks since last spring. I've done quite a few, and currently am trying to downsize from six. My five gallon Bettta tank has been very stable for months, then a few weeks ago the Nitrates shot up to 80ppm. All other...

I had just made it that day. But later in the morning I saw there is one survivor, a girl, I think. There continues to be lots of algae and biofilm on the rocks, but wonder if there wasn't enough, even though I added more rocks. The gobies loved the repashy

I created a high flow, coldwater Hillstream tank for stiphodon gobies. Now that they have gone to fishy heaven, I'm thinking of putting in Hillstreams. The conditions are ideal, but it's only 15 gallons. Would that work? It's planted, and lots of smooth rocks with algae and biolfilm.

Heart broken this morning, One dead goby and the other missing. Did they eat themselves to death? Was it the Repashy? They've had it before. The water parameteres are fine, and recent water change.

At 2.5 months I am really pleased with this scape. On goby has disappeared but that’s the only loss so far. Could an add another Stiphodon of a different type? A random Malaysian Trumpet Smail showed up in another tank and I linked it in here to save it from my Assasin Snails. It must have been...

Thanks all, for the good ideas. I have various thoughts on fish Dan's Fish has pairs of this fancy kilifish that I'd love Home > Killifish > Killifish Mature Male in Full Display PreviousNext Aphyosemion bivittatum 'Funge', Pair (1M1F) Hobbyist Bred and Raised in Europe Aphyosemion bivittatum...

I've had this tank for over a month and have been staring at it, trying to figure out what I want to do with it. I thought I knew. I usually do, but I'm a bit stumped. I'd like to crete a drifwood and stone superstructure with moss and plants, lots of epiphytes. If you have any advice on coating...
