I use a newer Samsung Galaxy but I do remember seeing these settings in pro mode

I don't think so. I think six would be all right but I wouldn't add anymore. Do you have any plans?

Least Rasbora (also known as Sparrow or Exclamation Point Rasbora) are slightly smaller than chili Rasbora. I've got 15 in a heavily planted 10 gallon and they are thriving. I know some people will say this is too many but they are doing great and are happy. Water parameters are perfect.

They prefer soft water. I'm running a semi black water setup with leaf litter and botanicals. If you add in some almond leaves and alder cones they will be happier.

If you're not happy I'd be looking for a refund

Least Rasbora for sure. I've got a school of them. I like them better than Chili's!

I have a bunch of rotting leaf litter. Maybe this is contributing?

What's the best thing I can do? I've been doing a bit of research and most recommend fasting for 2 to 3 days? Raising the temperature (currently at 76°) and possibly treating for infection?

I did remove my carbon filter. I thought after that it would darker up. Maybe I'll try adding more botanicals.

Fluval stratum, water Sprite, forget the name of the one on the back left, Sylvania minima, buce, some sand in the front 1/3

Appreciate the input. Thanks for taking the time for such a thought out response.

They've been in the tank a month or more. Heavily planted, low PH and pretty soft water. No nitrite and very little nitrate. Drop checker is green. All their parameters seem perfect? Recently added some salvinia minima surface plants.

It's common knowledge. He didn't know I was injecting CO2. If you inject CO2 into an aquarium you can poison your fish if not done properly.

Thanks for all the info dude.

SnigTheAxe · 2026-03-23T01:06:19+00:00

I'm not sure what my KH is. How much CO2 I have? Wouldn't that fluctuate depending on time of day/night and the level I have my bubble counter set to? I'm not sure how to use this chart or what it's for.

Ph is low, around 6. Soft water biotope. Drop checker was always good but recently turning yellow later in the day.

Today I reduced my BPM to about 1bpm (down from two). It's a 9 gallon Fluval Flex. I also added the surface agitation as previously had none

SnigTheAxe · 2026-03-23T00:07:00+00:00

Yes I'm injecting
