I'm old school and just can't get my head around Neon's living in water with a pH of 8.2.You do it, that's great I just don't get it.

Acid water is always best. Just acid, pH 6.6-6.8 that will help solve all the problems with ammonia in your tank.

Look you are a ten year member, congrats on that With ten messages, which is one a year, congrats on that as well.

My Aunty was left in charge of our house and tank. She managed to knock a Galileo thermometer into the tank, killing all the fish including "Credit and Debit" our Discus. The accident was over a week before we returned home and she said nothing, the smell was horrific.

With all fish, sun strike in the morning helps spawning. I always make sure that my tanks get a little sun in the early morning.

I named my first Discus "Credit and Debit" as one was purchased on the Credit card and the other the Debit Card And I named this guy "Charlie" Other than that I don't name fish

A couple of things affect breeding, temperature is one and atmospheric pressure is another. If you are heading towards winter these fish may not breed now till the atmospheric pressure rises, also they are aware of the shorter days. Remember in the tropics, rising pressure indicates storms and...

My Dracaena are just planted straight in the the tank no soil they are living off the water. The tank tonight

20g will be fine for the pair. I love Electric Yellows

So, your tank has no heater, as the Temperature drops the oxygen content of your tank will increase and yes, the algae will go away.

My Discus are spoilt silly, I feed them Back Strap Venison on a regular basis.

I don't understand why the algae will thin over winter if the tank gets no light from outside

Is your tank in a window?

Black edges on the scales is usually a sign of old age. Three to four years is a good age for a Glowlight Tetra. This fish may have 12-18 months old when you got it, I wouldn't worry too much.

You need to remove the surface plants so that light can reach those plants that are lower in the tank.

What are the pH and nitrate levels in this tank, please?

That looks like a zero reading to me.

That is one huge exercise you have been through, WOW!

Increase your oxygen level on your tank and it will disappear. More air stones or lower temperature or more filtration.

Yep, that will be fine, I had a friend who bred convicts and his whole fish room was full of them as nobody wanted Convicts.
