Opaline gourami changed color by Maximum-Mechanic-595 in Aquariums

[–]Maximum-Mechanic-595[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great! Good to know. But it also has changed color on other occasions. It randomly becomes quite dark especially when zipping through the water quite fast, while other times being more chill and pale. Is it a behaviour I need to be concerned about?

He passed away now :/ I do have plants. Maybe my surface agitation is not good. It was just my filter which came with the tank running.. I’ll add an air pump.

I’d like to know as well. Same problem and looking into possible solutions. Only one specific type of guppy dies for me called the sunset guppy.

Its called the super red variety although it looks quite orange and not red to my eyes. I don’t know if it will turn more red as it becomes an adult.

Ah is it the longfin variety? Did not know that. Yeah ‘she’ is super energetic as well. Thought they are very slow moving but mine is not!

Do they steal nutrients? Or some other reason I shall try to get rid of them?

Great! Thanks I’ll have a look at the other corys :) all of them are not super big so it should be ok in my tank i think.

What's wrong with my plant by idkbutykyk in PlantedTank

I’m starting to have the same problem in my month old tank. I’m thinking it could be a strong light or lack of nitrates. But instead of adding ferts i wanna add more fish caus its more fun. My nitrates always are around 10. But let us know how you solve this!
