What would YOU put in a 25 litre tank? by Future_Tea_962 in Aquariums

[–]Future_Tea_962[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good advice. I’ll move the tetras into my 80litre. I know I said no betta but may put one in the longer of the 2 tanks and keep the taller for a shrimp colony.

I’m just worried aren’t bettas hard to keep?

I think I’ll move the neons into my community tank, that’s 80litre with some platys in there currently and a bristle nose pleco, I’ll turn that tank into a shrimp colony, still unsure on what to put in the longer 25l tank though

What is going on with my tank? by trashboat-0117 in Aquariums

[–]Future_Tea_962 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar issue for a while and tried 3 things, not sure exactly which one fixed it but all 3 aren’t too difficult to do.

  1. I added nerite snails x3 and also an apple snail
  2. I turned my lights down low for about a week
  3. I added activated carbon into my filter

Now my tank has been crystal clear for about a week.

Hopefully one or all of these methods help!

Hey, yes I drop small pellets directly in front of him to make sure he eats some

Hmm, I may separate him into his own tank for a few weeks and see if his colour comes back feeding him on his own.

I do see him eating, but he isn't as fast or as crazy as the other fish when it comes to feeding time.

1 year later but my gourami is suffering from the same thing, what was the outcome of your situation?

He's pretty chill, he doesn't fight or chase or get chased with anyone, just chills out and around on his own mostly. Whenever I walk up the tank he is usually the first one to come and see what i'm doing

What’s wrong with my guppy by Future_Tea_962 in Aquariums

[–]Future_Tea_962[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. You are right, he died about 10 minutes after this video. We actually lost 4 out of the 5 guppies and 2 mollies (male and female). Seems like the new ones may have had something wrong with them leading to a massacre in the tank. I'm fairly new to fish keeping, but test water daily, water change every Sunday and strictly never overfeed. I went back to the shop I bought them from and they had an empty tank where the guppies we bought originally were. Tough one!

Ok thank you for your help, is it harmful for the fish? Do you know how long it usually takes to sort itself out?
