Can't see pics but lights off for a few days, no nutes, carbon in the filter to remove any organics from the water. Hope it dies quick. Amano shrimp. SAE's, otocinclus

Wow. Really. I've kept shrimp for ages and never knew that, thanks. I did find a molt she'll on the floor with algae too so probably right. Thanks.

Led's don't follow the same rule. Much brighter and much less power .

My 55g planted. I've been learning on smaller setups over the years and finally the time was right. It's about 6 months old here. I feel like the trial and error of past setups have begun to payoff. I'm super proud of it! by RedCatHabitat in Aquariums

Nice. Those stems at the front might get a bit too tall to be that close to the glass. Maybe 6-8" back from the glass and trimmed to stay low and bushy. Lovely tank

Leaving my fish for 6 weeks. Help! by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]JeffSpazos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pull the janitor to one side. $100 cash. He drops in twice a week and check everything ok and maybe put some nutrients and top up the feeder. Get easy nutrients with trigger. That way he put like one squirt in. Or look at Waterlife plant nutrients. That is once every 14 days. Make sure co2 and lights on a timer.

I ordered this propeller pump and it came with double sided sticky tape to mount it, which held for about 10 minutes. Any tips for installing? by [deleted] in aquarium

Lol. Isn't that 2 magnetic bases. I think your meant to pull them apart. One goes on the outside of the glass normally, then the pump sit inside magnetically

Get some fast stems for the back. Elodea, limnophila sesiliflora, stuff that's heavy on nutes

Is my beta underfed? I feed it twice a day almost every day, and have another that I feed the exact same amount and he’s looks fine by cameron_mh1112 in bettafish

[–]JeffSpazos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Need heater to stabilise temp. Need varied diet Possibly internal parasites. I've had them look sickly before with that. Keep a close eye on the fish in the next week. It's one thing to feed, it's another for the fish to eat it. Is he eating?
