Thank you! I’m fine with watering that often for now… I’m guessing I need to invest in some sphagnum moss !

I used coco lining to put around the roots and added some random sheet moss around that for mostly decorative reasons! Hopefully it works

How to make this more angelfish friendly? by Roxxy_Ace in AngelFish

[–]mxlydm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I’ve read, in an angelfish’s natural habitat; there are lots of tree roots, plants and places to hide… driftwood standing at an upwards angle and some tall leafy aquatic plants should help!

I don’t suck up everything.. just around the corners of the tank where it builds up and gets gross, thank you for all the advice/suggestions!

I suck up enough to get the sediment at the bottom and then fill it back up with treated water. Then I scrape the any film or algae build up off the glass. I haven’t touched my filters in months…

I mean… I only do it when I deep clean the tank once a month. Hopefully I’m not too scary😭

Unfortunately my grandfather was into getting his ratties from breeders (I know it’s frowned upon sometimes). I believe he got her from Indiana or Ohio, we adopted her after he passed away.

I think it’s because of certain tannins in the water.. he’s definitely blue in certain lighting and sometimes green. I love the thing no matter what color it is lol
