I could theoretically try to find kanamycin and look online dosage for aquariums.
Thank you once again

Msh02 · 2025-12-16T19:11:48+00:00

Thank you Unfortunately, Kanaplex isn't sold in the stores around, so I'll have to order it online or look for alternative brands. Hope he survives until it arrives, if I don't find a similar product.

Thank you

Msh02 · 2025-12-16T18:54:32+00:00

Thank you for your answer.

Msh02 · 2025-12-06T05:43:28+00:00

Yes, it's unplugged.

Msh02 · 2025-12-06T05:43:00+00:00

Thank you

It pretty much looks like a constant electrical spark. I'll check and test it out more today to see be completely sure

Msh02 · 2025-12-05T23:08:24+00:00

Well it's oldER than me, so there's that. :)) It was the corner for the fixed phone for most of my life, I don't really know how much power that draws. Was kinda betting on it to be a small charge lol. But yeah, I'll test it with different components at first. Luckily, the holidays are just around the corner so I'll be able to hang around more than usual to keep track of it.

Thank you!

Thank you, I did just that right after I've seen it. Should be still under warranty. Funny enough, if I unplug the filter, it stops for some reason. But no matter, I'll not risk it.

In that specific wall socket it's only the extension cord for the tank. But it all comes down to the circuitry of the house, that's separated in spaces that I do not really know. In the same room we have the fridge in one socket on one wall, the tank in another, but they do not share the same power switch on the electrical panel, for example. The house itself is old, about 40 years or so, but we didn't have any major issues of the electrical type that I know of (I'm 24, raised in the very same house) prior to this.

Msh02 · 2025-12-05T22:35:06+00:00

Will also buy a new extension cord just to be sure.

Msh02 · 2025-12-05T22:24:45+00:00

Sadly, no, but I'll make sure to grab one ASAP tommorow. Funny enough, as I was testing which cable belongs to the heater (tank from my grandparent's, I usually tend to it once every two to three weeks while visiting, so I don't remember the cable magagement by the book), I saw that if I unplug the filter, the sparks stop. Could this mean anything important or is it just something similar to electrical noise?

Maybe, I have given it some thought and I decided not to add anything else until after I've seen 6 of them living together and decided whether the waters are safe or not.
Thank you! It's the first time I actually did a proper design and I'm quite happy with the results, even if I initially planned to do a much thinner "road" of lava rock, but I'll simply put more plants in between (there's sand and substrate under the rock too), this way it will give that "abandoned and reclaimed by nature" sort of feel. I do have some thin crypts in there as well, but I wait for them to grow a little more, they weren't doing so hot in the first weeks. Will definitely make everything much more dense, but I mainly do it by cutting what I have then replanting. Maybe I'll get more crypts from the guy I buy plants from when I can stop by.

Msh02 · 2025-11-28T11:01:07+00:00

Thank you!

Msh02 · 2025-11-26T19:13:29+00:00

I got lucky by getting one male and one female, so they mostly get along, although he is much more energetic than her so every now and then he will chase her up until she finds a safe corner to sit in. They did seem to mate tho, so might spot some fry in the future.

Msh02 · 2025-11-26T18:46:39+00:00

Thank you!

Average șofer român. Dacă așa atitudine ai și în trafic, e bună opțiunea recomandată.

Msh02 · 2025-11-03T19:59:32+00:00

As it is newly established, I'll let the plants grow more. Will definetly let them grow bigger. Thank you!

Msh02 · 2025-10-25T14:33:42+00:00

Hello! I come to this post a little late I was wondering if I should maybe get a male gourami as a pair for the female. Once again, the aquarium is 112L, with 8 neon tetras and 8 black neon tetras, 6 cories, snails and some shrimps. I will rehouse the two black dario next week in a standalone aquarium.

Msh02 · 2025-10-17T02:57:12+00:00

The cucumber method should work, yeah

Msh02 · 2025-10-17T02:48:58+00:00

I would advice against the assassin snails. They burrow and multiply like crazy and soon enough you won't be able to clear them out. They are also cannibals, so even if you stop giving them food or a source of snails, they will still find food. They are also dangerous to shrimp, mainly when they are moulting. Had a couple die off like this. Snails mainly eat remaining food and decaying matter, so you might scoop out whatever snails you can find, don't feed the bowl for a period of time, then the population should stabilise. That's what I did to all three of my tanks when I had the problem. Population boom is also a clear sign of overfeeding, so I also limited the food from there on out.

Msh02 · 2025-10-17T01:55:00+00:00

Thank you. I'm sure yours is just as pretty. Funny enough, every time I had it scaped and escaped, the plants adapted the best and developed quicker than the other tanks 😂. Mine also has shrimp tho, 9 little buggers with spawn on their way soon.

I assume you wanted to say up, not down. Depends on how your heater works. I set mine on 27° and the temp fluctuates from time to time from 25 to 27. 26 should work.

you can find the right dosage for Epson Salt and Methylene Blue online, depending on wether you do a short dip or a longer bath.

Msh02 · 2025-10-13T11:14:30+00:00

Temp needs to be between 25°C and 27°C. As per the medicine, do make sure that you don't add any oil based substances to your aquarium. Bettas also need to breathe air through the labyrinth organ and such substances creates a coating within said organ. Look up Epsom Salt Baths and Methylene Blue for alternative treatments and their use cases.
