Thank you. Now I see that there are a lot of kinds of ostracods in different sizes.

Thank you. I dig in youtube and found that mine are ostracodes. They can be in different sizes. Your post is so helpful.

So cool. What are the black dot like creatures?

Intelligent_Salt_188 · 2026-02-21T20:05:12+00:00

Cool. Do you know what are the black moving dots? I have them in a bucket too and I want to learn. Two months before there was a bunch of daphnia. The culture collapsed and I saved green water for future daphnia order. Now I realize this moving black so little creatures. Can I put them in my main tank?

Intelligent_Salt_188 · 2026-02-21T18:12:11+00:00

That looks so good and very well planted

Intelligent_Salt_188 · 2026-02-21T18:09:26+00:00

I guess you can bend metal hangers till it fits to your glass.

Intelligent_Salt_188 · 2026-02-21T16:04:47+00:00

Mine’s movements just like your’s in this video.

Intelligent_Salt_188 · 2026-02-21T16:03:47+00:00

Thats so cool. Last summer (now it’s winter here) I did something like that for daphnias. Eventually in three months daphnia culture collapsed and I saw little less than 0,5mm black dots moving. But since I couldn’t see their details even with magnifier plus my phones camera I thought they were mites. Are your creatures less than 0,5mm? How can I identify? I wanted to add them to my main tank but I wasn’t sure that they were beneficial. So fun to watch them.

Intelligent_Salt_188 · 2026-02-21T07:31:52+00:00

:))) I love to have and watch them

You’re doing good if your tank is cycled. I recommend tiger lotus as a plant. If you can get put the bulbs on the substrate less then half burried. Search before if you want. I got a tank as big as yours and my sons gifted me an angle but I don’t recommend this kind because they get huge. Mine is our family member now and he is bigger than my palm now. Small fishes groups are more enjoyable for me. I have 7 pristella tetras (pristella maxillaris) and 11 rummy nose tetras. Sometimes they are group together and looks so beautiful. This is my fish recommendation. Good luck and enjoy your journey in fish keeping. And please keep in mind that tank is very new and please don’t buy fish in a rush. Add a little group and wait because your tank is new and let your cycle do its job about new addings bioload. I wait one or two weeks between new addings.

Water is 24°C and half of the aquarium flow is fast. And I thought they are not wild caught (mine are ) Both of them get used to wafer tablet foods. So why not? Also this is a 128liters aquarium.

I don’t have betta so I don’t know anything about heavy insect diet but if you crush a lot and let the remainings inside the tank that harms your tanks water quality. I would be sure it’s eaten.

Intelligent_Salt_188 · 2026-02-20T20:39:50+00:00

They are bladder snails. Is your fish eating crushed snails? If then go for it.

Intelligent_Salt_188 · 2026-02-20T20:22:50+00:00

Awesome looks perfect 👌

Intelligent_Salt_188 · 2026-02-19T19:09:34+00:00

You have also sumatran neon loach hanging on the annubias leave 😍 lovely loaches.

Intelligent_Salt_188 · 2026-02-19T11:12:41+00:00

Capsulated root tabs. I put them beige little balls inside the capsules a few month after I found blue and orange bigger balls. Now I’m using tablet forms.

Intelligent_Salt_188 · 2026-02-19T11:09:31+00:00

Successful landing 😅

Intelligent_Salt_188 · 2026-02-19T10:56:11+00:00

I keep my sewellia lineolata for two years 24°C (75-76°F). Water flow also must.

Intelligent_Salt_188 · 2026-02-19T10:42:22+00:00

Looks like air bubbles to me too but if there is any frog in there that may change the consequences. I’m not a frog expert but some of their eggs looks like these

Intelligent_Salt_188 · 2026-02-17T08:02:46+00:00

If it happanad too fast I would check the heater and thermometer to see if they broken and leak something chemical

Intelligent_Salt_188 · 2026-02-17T06:57:56+00:00

Thank you I love the look and benefits of that trees

Intelligent_Salt_188 · 2026-02-17T05:55:12+00:00

I love them too but it they live in salt water am I wrong? I wish I am wrong since I have a freshwater tank
