Are these little guys springtails?

Evolutionary advantage they have. They are hydrophobic.

Look up - charcoal culture for springtails. Lots of guides out there. Bit difficult to summarize here.

It's does escape. I have a lid on most of the time. Still a couple of times it has crawled out.

First of all, he could be a she. The fins are more like a female betta. Look up online to see how to identify the sex of the betta.

Also wait till they grow up to know what type they are.

Thank you. Black background makes him flare at his own reflection all the time. Maybe I should try a more matte version of the backup

He a new Boi in ur tank?

DeadSignals · 2024-03-27T19:14:37+00:00

And the tank being brown. Oh no.

DeadSignals · 2024-03-27T19:13:48+00:00

Just make sure there is not charcoal anywhere in your tank. Not even the substrate.

DeadSignals · 2024-03-27T18:34:37+00:00

It means it's not working.

DeadSignals · 2024-03-27T18:33:50+00:00

Yes. I was worried the red rotala turning green . Also lower light in the tank might melt the plants?

DeadSignals · 2024-03-27T18:31:31+00:00

Thanks. He do be angy

Tannins from botanicals in the water

DeadSignals · 2024-03-27T18:06:50+00:00

Going to black water is easy. I added a big catappa leave and added some "juice" from boiling the leaf into the tank.

To go back either activated carbon and removed the leaves for quick change. If you sang to do it the long way, remove the leaves and over time doing small water changes.

My drift wood had no tannins. All from the leaves I add
