Who Gives A Fish Forums

Stressed Discus can be tricky. Your params look solid, but how's the flow from your filter? Too much current can stress them out. Also, check if any tankmates are bullying them. I've got a Fluval FX4 on my 90 gallon but dialed it way down with a spray bar. They're chill now.


Yep, flow's a ...

The tank might be fine short-term, but if the neptunes, swordtails, and bristlenose breed, the babies will increase the bio-load. For now, keep a close eye on water quality, do regular water changes, and clean the gravel. When you get the bigger tank, or another one, you can move some fish into it.

I just realized I don't have any female swordtails, so I guess I won't be breeding them anytime soon.

I'll rehome the guppy fry with friends or sell them, and same with the pleco babies when they arrive.

I just got off the phone with my uncle, who's actually an expert in aquariums, and he said I'm fine with the number of fish I have. He studied aquarium fish in university, so I'm not sure who to believe now. Either way, I'm still getting a new tank soon and I'll probably move some of the neptunes ...

Planning to upgrade soon anyway, so I'll just transfer some fish to the new tank.

20 gallons. I checked with the store guy and he said I'm good to go. My tank's got 6 harlequin rasboras, 6 fairy corydoras, a guppy, 4 swordtails, 12 neptunes, and 2 female bristlenose plecos now.

Just got back from another aquarium shop and managed to snag the Vallis I was after. Also picked up some floating Elodea to add to the mix. Decided to get a few more fish too - four swordtails and twelve more neptunes. Plus, I got two female bristlenose plecos, so now I'm on the hunt for a male to ...

Just got back from the LFS and I'm super excited - I picked up some Lagenandra Moleboldii Red, Ludwigia Palustris Super Red, and Lysimachia Nummularia Aurea. Was really looking to grab some Vallis too, but unfortunately, they were out of stock. Thanks so much for all the advice, it really helped me ...

Thanks a lot for all the suggestions, I really appreciate it. I'll definitely look into replanting the tips I trim, and I'll check out the plants you mentioned, like Hygrophila Siamensis 53b, Cardamine Lyrata and Pennywort species. I'll also think about adding more hardscape, like rocks and wood, to ...
