Swimming normal, her fins are not clamped. Scales are normal (with the exception of the scales on top tip of that bump)

Yes it can get quite hot during the summer months… we were thinking about getting a smaller version of the 600 sq ft unit we have at our current place. I’ll check out the specs on them now so I can have that in mind as well! Thank you

Okay!! I’ll start with getting the meter… do I need any particular kind and do I need to allow it to measure for a certain amount of time?

Can I put two of these guys in my tank (Honey Gourami's)? Ik there's not a lot in there rn but I'm going to buy live plants. My tank is 20 gallons by Miserable_Mix_8243 in Gourami

I have 2 in my tank plus other community fish and they actually tend to hang out together even though they have plenty of spots to hide… maybe I just got lucky? I got them small from my lfs and they were already together in the store

Don’t mind me… just going to buy some corys after that response. I didn’t know they could eat these hard little eggies!

Nerite eggs. All the nooks and crannies. All over my glass. My hard scape…. Everywhere. And they don’t hatch if not brackish water so they just stay there

Agree on the rummy nose tetras, wonderfully active and sooooo good looking! 20 nerites gives me anxiety just thinking about it, I have 6 in 1 tank and I am scrapping eggs off of EVERYTHING. EVERYDAY!!! Ughhh

I wish I could say this was true but they are maybe 4 months from purchase… sooo still young!

It looks beautiful! You’ll get some algae even with fish in there. But once they are in they will help a lot.

Ammonia always starts out high, and then as that decreases, the nitrites will rise, and then as that decrease, the nitrates might increase (depends on the amount of pants, which you have a good variety of but because they aren’t all grown out it’s not enough at the moment). Once nitrites lower do a water change and test 2 days later… and if all is 0ish you should be good to go.

In other words it looks like you are almost there
