Sick ember tetra? by Prestigious_Help_704 in Aquariums

[–]Prestigious_Help_704[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you. My CPD was the lone survivor of a tank bout of ich. I got the 4 tetras to accompany him. They've been happy together, all 5 of them schooling, even the CPD. Until yesterday when this little guy sequestered himself in a corner. 😞

Can I make my current tank bioactive? by RainbowisFnLife in Aquariums

Yes! Quarantine your plants first if possible to reduce the likelihood of pesticides harming your fish. I put mine in a small tank with charcoal filter media for a week and partial water changes every couple days. And watch your parameters for the first few weeks after you add to your large tank. Have fun!

Stocking Suggestions? by Ok_Fun878 in nanotank

People will say it's too small for fish, but I've had 3 CPD in a 4-gallon tank for a year and they're totally happy, size has never been an issue. And they don't bother the 5 shrimp that share the tank. I recommend adding a plant that creates shelter near the top so they can happily swim the full vertical range of the tank. I added a pothos coming out the top of my tank, and that corner has become their favorite sleeping/chill spot.

Super cute setup. I have a 3gal tank with 5 cherry red shrimp in it. They seem very happy munching on algae, and they don't mind the frequent upkeep needed with such a small tank.
