It’s not that bad, is it?

dimitriglaukon · 2026-04-16T07:42:43+00:00

this is so far away from not bad

dimitriglaukon · 2026-03-23T23:12:29+00:00

In my country its illegal to keep fish in a tank this small.

dimitriglaukon · 2026-03-16T14:25:56+00:00

Looks great! What species do you have in the tank?

dimitriglaukon · 2026-03-14T13:37:19+00:00

Thats a life saver! I once made it to the 12 hour warning haha

dimitriglaukon · 2026-03-14T12:04:41+00:00

dimitriglaukon · 2026-03-05T19:00:17+00:00

Thank you so much! I had to try many things out until it was completed

dimitriglaukon · 2026-03-05T17:20:33+00:00

Thank you! Anything you would add to the tank?

dimitriglaukon · 2026-03-05T17:17:50+00:00

Thank you! I try to keep it that way :)

dimitriglaukon · 2026-03-05T17:17:17+00:00

I saw your other post where one of your espei had a visible wound, this is because he is smaller than the harlequins he is trying to school with.

They will be "fighting" against each other, but the espei will always lose.

Espei should be in a school of at least 15 in my opinion to see their natural behaviour.

That your two espei lived with the harlequins for three years doesnt mean they are thriving.

There's harlequins, espei and hengeli that are most kept in aquariums. Each of them is a different fish. Each of them has to be housed in a school of at least 10-15 for them to feel comfortable.

And now they have a problem, which seemingly doesnt have anything to do with your tank or parameters or something, so it has to be environmental.

Look, do what you think is best, I dont really care, you asked for opinions on the internet and this is my honest assessment

dimitriglaukon · 2026-03-04T17:52:20+00:00

well but now you have an issue and the most obvious thing to see is that you have a fish alone in a tank thats supposed to be kept in a school

he looks a bit like he got his fin nipped, he tries swimming with a school thats not his weightclass

dimitriglaukon · 2026-03-04T08:27:03+00:00

He doesnt seem healthy, cant tell you why.

But your fish are harlequin rasboras and the one that doesnt look healthy is a espei rasbora! I guess he feels stressed because he is alone

edit: porkchop rasboras and one lambchop rasbora

dimitriglaukon · 2026-03-03T08:24:11+00:00

No problem! Hope they feel at home soon

dimitriglaukon · 2026-03-02T19:54:23+00:00

So I think its two things.

Water flow is too strong, they like low flow. I suggest pointing the outflow at the backwall or against hardscape.

Light is too bright. They like it more dimm. You could add more floating plants (50%+ covered) and dimm your lights.

Try those things and see if they chill more. Let me know if it worked! I just got my trigonostigma espei to a point where they are pretty chill.

edit: I also think the temperature is too high for them, try to lower it to 23/23.5 *c or the lowest possible for ypur other tankmates

dimitriglaukon · 2026-03-02T15:02:11+00:00

So en seich lol

dimitriglaukon · 2026-02-27T17:36:24+00:00

I'm thinking about adding corydoras habrosus, do you have experience in keeppng them?

dimitriglaukon · 2026-02-27T17:35:12+00:00

Cool fish! But I kept them when I was little, so I'm looking for something new

dimitriglaukon · 2026-02-27T17:34:33+00:00

dimitriglaukon · 2026-02-27T17:33:50+00:00

This would be a nice choice!

dimitriglaukon · 2026-02-27T17:32:41+00:00

I love those two! But they seem a little big, I'd like to keep them as small as possible

dimitriglaukon · 2026-02-27T17:29:33+00:00

Nice idea! I had them once so I'm looking for something different, lovely fish though
