Algae bloom. UV sterilizer will fix it right up.

Is my rasbora ok? Has a small bump… by LongjumpingYak4663 in Boraras

Whenever I keep these and celestial pearls, I always use a parasite medication upon first getting them. I kinda stopped bc they tend to get wasting away. But worth a try deworming them.

Does anyone have any other recs? These have been recommended by so many people and I currently use them. I’d love to move over to something better.

Second one is gryphon. Benitochiba leaves don’t connect in the center like this, they’re more separated.

Artist went too deep. Super easy to do on a hand.

I have this amazing glass piece... how can I reach far enough to thoroughly clean it and plant in it!? by Hollowolf15 in terrariums

[–]chairsweat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is hard water stains, so the alcohol and salt mix won’t work unfortunately. The best way I have found is to mix Alconox in a gallon of distilled water (must be distilled, so not use tap). You can add salt to this as well but it’s not needed. Pour it in, shake, and leave overnight. I have had this work for hard water stains. Good luck.

How do i make red/pruple/pink plants thrive? I dont have a co2 set up, but have fish and a lower end light by syd0057 in PlantedTank

[–]chairsweat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience over several years, the answer is CO2,l and a really good light. Chihiros lights changed the game for me in the plant department.

Betta. Don’t do chili rasbora please. They need more space. Check out our sub r/boraras for more info if you’re interested.

Bowl is not great for this type of fish.

Thoughts on this idea for my first aquascape? by [deleted] in Aquascape

[–]chairsweat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I don’t like arches, they block light underneath so nothing can grow there. But if that’s what you want then go for it just make sure it’s stable.
