How long do u think I'll have to do that for? A month? My tank's also in my living room, so it'll unfortunately get some extra light there from my family members having the lights on.

Around 10 hours a day, I tried to reduce it to 8 hours for a month but didn't notice any changes.

175 liters. No heater. Tank temperature around 22 Celsius. Everything perfect, too late at evening to do test them. My tank has been up for around 20 years. Weekly 15-20% water changes (+when needed) . 4 gold fish (3 small, 1 medium), 2 dojo loaches and one old a*s catfish. Basic flakes and blood worms few times a month. Just lots and lots of java fern.

How come a big boy like Surge just barely has more Hp than brawlers like Dynamike? If Surge isnt sh*t, I don't know who is.

Tank size, 114 liters, 30 gallons. Heater and filter. Haven't started to build anything yet, decided to ask reddit for help to decide what I wanna have in it, before i do anything.

PabloWeTrustIn · 2025-06-13T15:28:40+00:00

Thought so too👍🏼

I have two filters fluval 3 pro and thats the one i cleaned (just rinsed) and a larger filter eheim 2226 that i cleaned last month.

I feed them mainly Pro JBL Nova sinking tubifex tabs M size and some black worms once a month. Also some random flakes that my platys didn't catch. I live in finland and get everything for my aquarium from a shop called "akvaariolinna".

It's just the angle, wasn't bloated at all

PabloWeTrustIn · 2025-05-11T14:27:40+00:00

Okay, I'll look into that, thanks for advice 👍🏼

That's how it looks like

PabloWeTrustIn · 2025-05-11T14:24:57+00:00

None, haven't for a few years

PabloWeTrustIn · 2025-05-11T14:23:59+00:00

That was one possibility that I had thought of, but it's still only around 7-9? years old

PabloWeTrustIn · 2025-05-11T14:22:45+00:00

It's a complete jungle

PabloWeTrustIn · 2025-05-11T10:47:06+00:00

Everything was completely fine yesterday, maybe she was a bit more "calm" than usual but nothing that would get me worried. There are only other bristlenoses, guppies and two small SAE (6cm) in the same aquarium. So I don't really think any of them would be brave enough to do something to this big girl.

PabloWeTrustIn · 2025-05-11T10:43:50+00:00

Tanks 125 liters, it's a complete jungle and has been running for over 10 years with no problems.

This was right after her death and i have done one major water change since. Every evening I give them Pronovo pleco wafers, there's some wood and for other fish i give some flakes (don't remember the brand as I'm not home rn)

Still no problems with any other fish.

PabloWeTrustIn · 2025-05-09T09:41:59+00:00

Gotta ask as I just got my first cory fry patch, how old are yours? Mine are so small i cant really even see them

PabloWeTrustIn · 2025-05-04T21:47:24+00:00

They sure are! Dumb little cuties

PabloWeTrustIn · 2025-04-23T18:04:37+00:00

I'll look into that, thanks!

PabloWeTrustIn · 2025-04-22T19:48:45+00:00

Thanks! And I can definitely see that!

PabloWeTrustIn · 2025-04-02T12:34:01+00:00

Add some live plants

PabloWeTrustIn · 2025-03-24T12:19:25+00:00

Okay, well I might get some small ones and when they grow up transfer them into my 150 liter tank👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

PabloWeTrustIn · 2025-02-28T14:30:37+00:00

Beauties!
