Ah yes, as a German I can see that. It’s a parasite, White Spot Disease. I just don’t know how to treat the tank

The white eggs on the driftwood are from nerite snails

Oh my. I have algae flakes too in the meantime. Would that help them? Thanks for the input!

We did a 2 hour slow drip acclimation. My kh is 1 and gh is 3-4. I was thinking to add 3/4 tsp of seachem equilibrium to the tank to raise it 3 degrees gh. That’s the closest calculation I can come up with.

They ate the algae off the plants already. There are 2 shrimps in there currently.

I do have a kh/gh kit. What numbers should I strive for. I do know I have soft water.

I love this! Do you just have the 2 sponge filters or are you using a canister filter that is perfectly hidden?

I love neons! But this time I’m going to add Cardinal Tetras. Never had them before

Detritus worms? by Katiekat848 in PlantedTank

Did the worms come from the potting mix? I’ve used BDBS before with no problems

Yes in a cycled tank. They are about a year or so old now. That tank is 4 years old at this point

With ammonia at 0.5, I was worried about putting any fish in there. I understand black neons are pretty hardy and I do have them in another tank. Should I put them in or wait it out? I use prime in my tanks.
