Final update! Single beta in there... Happy out!

Update....

3 setup almost 3 months now. 2 female axlotl's Loads of dairy cow isopods in land area and lots of other little critters!

Possibly small pond snails with limited protection but iv never seen them eat a snail... Not trumpet snails or assassins or any larger snail. Iv noticed my shrimp population decline.... I have over 20 of them :)!

Hey, 250L aquarium, went for paludarium setup for isopods (Dairy cow) in land area. I have a pump under land area surrounded by clay balls and gravel. 'Filter island' is a similar concept to a 'bog filter' used for ponds. Eventually the tank will be fairly self-sustaining with all the plants and...

I ordered the lucky bamboo online, and they were shipped in those vials.

What's your filtration and water flow like? I have a prefilter installed on the intake of my external filter. When i do a water change i just pour the bucket over all area's of my tank dislodging any fine particles which get sucked up into pre-filter. Aquarium is fairly spotless till next...

Slowly growing :)!

Better off with pressurized C02. I use DIY C02 on my 25gal, but i wouldn't bother trying it on anything larger. You would need like 3 2L bottles worth and it would be a pain to replenish every month. Very difficult to monitor fluctuations.

8 Glass catfish 'Kryptopterus vitreolus'. They would suit having midspace all to themselves. They like densely planted tank.

Rooting Cuttings I made 3 cuttings. I try to leave at least 3-4 nodes of leaves. I made cut few cm under lowest node and removed leaves from the lowest node. I added the stem to dechlorinated tap water with a little honey mixed in which has antibacterial properties. Now i just need to wait...

Yes long term I will build something stable. Mesh would work.. I was thinking dried bamboo would look nice, I can make a mesh of bamboo sticks.

Hi all, As the title says, I want to grow a Wall of plants approx 60cm out of my fish tank. Chlorophytum comosum ;Spider Plant' Epipremnum pinnatum ‘Golden Pothos’ Philodendron scandens 'Micans' Dracaena sanderiana 'Lucky Bamboo' I'v been growing spider plants in my tanks for years and loads...

I have two methods. 1) Open-top tank where I only top up water and never actually change the water. Minimal ferts, low bioload and low light. Weekly top up due to evaporation helps replenish minerals for plants. Never had algae issues. Or... 2) 50% weekly water changes standard. Plenty of...

Sounds good to me. If they are growing well, breeding and looking healthy, you're doing something right. Fish always look hungry :).
