it's been a week since I bought my ottocinclus, they ate all the algae by now, I'm planning on giving them algae wafers and blanched cucumbers, but i just want to know if they are fine for now, do they look healthy and thriving? I have a lot of plants and they swim happily (i think¿) in the center of the tank in the night
Hi! I hope everyone is having a nice day, I'm here because I have a concern... so i bought some ottocinclus (5 of them) for my 20 gallon long aquarium two days ago but I didn't know that they would be such big POOPERS, i had to do a huge water change yesterday because they pooped a lot the night before, I'm so confused, I mean I think they ate a lot cause I had a lot of algae but I didn't think they would do that much of waste, i have a lot of plants but now i don't know if its gonna be enough to prevent an ammonia spike or a change in the parameters
Hi I hope everyone is having a good day, I'm here today to express something that is been making me feel a little worried or sad, lately my betta has been avoiding me, he runs away from me every time I approach the tank, and i haven't done anything to hurt him, he just started to hide from me, he also looks a little floppier than before, he used to have his fins all spread when he lived alone, now he lives in a bigger tank with a a few plants and Cory's, for some reason I feel that he is not that happy with that, should I move him to his smaller tank? I don't want to have him alone either :(( i don't know what to do
The first picture is from when he lived alone in a tall but small tank, the second is from a 20 gallon tank, where he lives with 8 Cory's and 1 snail
Hi! I rearranged my tank yesterday, my java fern died and I feel like i need more plant to suck up the nitrates and ammonia, what plants would you people recommend for that?, i will really appreciate the help 🙂↕️
I just wanted to share this! My Java fern had little sprouts 🥹 I'm so happy that I gave a healthy environment to my plants to the point that they wanted to spread they're genes all around my tank, i though I was being a bad fish/plant mom, but they have been looking healthier than ever 🥳
Hi! i made this some days after finishing the first game 🎉 it was the best game I played in a while, and im loving being part of the fandom
I'm starting with the second one but sometimes I have to give it a break (unfortunately) cause my laptop is a potato and it gets so hot sometimes that I think some of this days is going to blow up on my face lol
Hi! I hope everyone is having a nice day, I'm here today to ask for some advice and positive criticism about my tank, I feel like I need to improve the decoration and do some aquascaping, I'm not looking for something professional but I do want to make it look better, today is a little dirty cause I'm letting the algae for a couple otocinclus im gonna get in some days, so please ignore that, I'll appreciate any help and advice, thanks! ☺️
Hi! Im a begginer and im still new at testing my water parameters, I have been looking for them to be perfect but it is really difficult, my nitrates are always at 20, and I want them lower, but on the research I have been doing, some people say its not necessary to have them at 0, is that true? cause i really want to get ottocinclus, and i don't want to make the mistake to get them and see them die gradually.
I introduced some photos(the plant) to my tank so it can eat the nitrates and ammonia, I havent done a water change today, cause I did one yesterday, and i don't know if it's okay to make too many water changes, anyway, i tested the water today and this are the water parameters, are they okay? 😮💨
Are this good parameters to introduce some otocinclus to my aquarium?
I bought the Freshwater Master Test Kit for the first time, from my perspective my water parameters aren't that bad, but i need a professional view, can someone tell me if i need to improve anything?
my mystery snail fell from the aquarium and severely broke its shell, ITS REALLY BAD, WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP IT???
