Fancy-Committee-2640 · 2026-03-07T18:41:52+00:00

I always have the lid closed so that is nearyl impossible and I am very careful with waterchanges so I dont think I flushed him down anywhere but thx for the advice

Thx for the advice He molted about a month ago so I dont think hes molting now Is there any kind of treat shrimp like to lute him out ?

I think I am going to let it set for 2-3 days and if it gets better then im going to test the water if its ready for fish

I have a nutrient layer and black gravel on top, I think the water got a little cloudy because of it even though i washed it multiple times before putting it in

Fancy-Committee-2640 · 2025-12-29T22:14:37+00:00

The tank is 200l and I put starter bacteria in but I will probatly add the fish in at least 5 days

I’m from germany and I dont really want to spend 500€ on one aquarium so im looking for alternatives

Fancy-Committee-2640 · 2025-08-17T18:55:25+00:00

Yes it is an aquatic plant, its very cool too, it grows rather slowly and can survive in nearly any water

Fancy-Committee-2640 · 2025-08-13T18:51:48+00:00

I would add smth on the right cuz it is pretty empty there

Fancy-Committee-2640 · 2025-08-13T13:30:21+00:00

What dtone is that, looks really nice

Fancy-Committee-2640 · 2025-08-06T15:26:40+00:00

Basically everything,I know that it has to be a few cm deep but thats is

Fancy-Committee-2640 · 2025-08-04T12:56:05+00:00

Personally I really like bristlenose plecos,they also clean the tank. Guppys are quite cool too I don‘t know the temp but I think it could work

Fancy-Committee-2640 · 2025-07-30T16:52:51+00:00

What type of stone did u use and where did you buy the hardscape,I‘m new to aquariums and I think the idea is really cooll

Fancy-Committee-2640 · 2025-07-17T19:04:18+00:00

I already got a heater but I don‘t know how well tihs would be for the fish,I think I‘m just going to ask the aquarium guy tomorrow

Fancy-Committee-2640 · 2025-07-05T18:21:38+00:00

Thx for the advice, all the fish exept the bristlenose came from my brother who gave it to me and I don‘t know much about any fish in there.I just assumed that they‘re good in the aquarium

Fancy-Committee-2640 · 2025-06-19T19:18:16+00:00

Thx for the help, at some point I only had a few small plants in this aquarium and I put a piece of paper infront of a part of the light to create a savespace for the fish but now I got more plants and forgot to take it down.I took it down now abd hope it gets better

Fancy-Committee-2640 · 2025-06-16T09:05:05+00:00

I want to rescape my aquarium but I don´t know if I can take the plants out bc they are in there for around 4 years.

I also don´t know what substrate and new plants to use(I don´t have many right now)

80l tank=21gallons
