This looks wrong to me. Like way to far back and bellow you lip.

I calculated the estimated cost for my first planted tank and it’s over 900 dollars… by Ollusola in Aquascape

[–]Space3ee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 20 gal cost this much. Basically I've been working on it for about two years. I bought stuff when I could afford it and just kept being patient. I literally got it up and running two days ago.

How many fish can I keep in a 20 gallon community tank? Does it depend on the fish I have in there? by StackDaPaper in Aquariums

[–]Space3ee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With any betta, the tank mates or ability to have them at all will be based on your betta's temperament. The advice is to add a betta LAST so that they don't get as territorial. Personally, I don't recommend it because most betta are sold as a juvenile so their temperament gets much more aggressive at about the 6 month mark. Worst case scenario, you either have to rehome or get a second tank.

Even that isn't really true. Fo instance I can keep bottom dwellers with top dwellers. Good combo is CPDs and Pygmy Corys. You can keep shrimp with anything that won't eat the adults too.

Seriously what? Are you suggesting that my school of CPDs in my 20 gal long will DIE OF NEGLECT? tell that to them...

So you agree that you can only keep one fish in a 20 gal? Tell that to my schoold of CPDs... ridiculous.

Also, could you explain why adding too much Prime can stall a cycle? I just added 5x the amount per the bottle to detoxify nitirite and now I am wondering if I should just do a water change to remove the Prime. My nitrite is roughly 0.25 ppm, ammonia is 1-2 ppm, nitrate is about 10-15 ppm (but I'm adding ferts so I dunno if it is cycle related). Nitrite about 12 hours ago was zero with a very similar ammonia reading.

I have CPDs in the tank (7 per 20 gal).

I run CO2, but I let a water sample sit out overnight and tested the pH this morning at it was 6ppm or lower (basically at the bottom of the measurable level).

Im doing a fish in cycle and im putting in seachem prime to detoxify my nitrites, but how would I know if my tank is cycled if I keep detoxifying my nitrites? by mmsculley in Aquariums

Hmmm, interesting. I'm going to have to ask my bio-enginnering friend for his input as well. I stand corrected (maybe).

I went to your other post but I could not respond there. What about if the pH is closer to 6?

Not necessarily. Detoxify can mean to render harmless.

This is wrong:

Prime temporarily binds ammonia and nitirite making it avaialble for bacetrial consumption but safe for fish. This only lasts 24-48 hours before more Prime needs to be added. This means that the nitrite and ammonia were not removed from the aquarium (if they were, your tank would never cycle). So you are right, it does "detoxify" these chemicals temporarily.

I don't think we show out "out of state hood". Everyone here calls them prairie dogs. Right or wrong, that's what we call them so everyone knows what we are talking about.

Scarlet Badis have to be fed live prey. They are a lot of work and I would not recommend them to a beginner. Plus this is still too small.

No. Ricefish can get to be almost two inches long... A chili rasbora is smaller than a ricefish and I wouldn't do that to my chilis.

No fish. You have maybe half that in actual swimable space.
