My water is very hard and the ph is 7ish. So not really the right mix at all.... Next time I am going to put them
In a breeder net straight away as today they were nearly all gone. Parents got them I think :(

I have been away a while, mixture of work and life begin busy. I had a mini cycle in my tank caused by my forgetfulness and not adding prime.... Didn't loose any fish and it only lasted a day.
During this my Bolivian ram laid eggs... I just ignored it as thought the levels in the tank would...
I totally forgot to let people know this story.....
Last week one of my Bolivian rams started to swim differently to the others, a few days later when my lights went on he didn't move.... He stayed in the same spot apart from to defend his territory.
A few days past and I saw him poo so knew...
One survived? That's amazing esp in a community tank. Am I right to say they scatter their eggs?
I have 12 of them, hope they all make it to the tank!

They do seem to be schooling a bit better now, interestingly they have coloured up so much more than when I first picked them up!

I decided upon these tetras for my tank, what are they like for schooling?
I really like the look of them, not a fish I had ever looked at until I bought them but I am delighted with them. Will add pictures when they are put into my main tank :o)

Clean all the pipes for the filter, I do mine twice a year or its a bit like your filter is having a heart attack.... Too many build ups in the tubes affecting the flow.

I run them from 3pm to 10pm everyday, both bulbs are the same K rating.
Looking at the old bulbs the were visually looking old with discolouration towards the ends. It does not cost much to change bulbs each 12 months I suppose.
On a different note I was made redundant this week, luckily I got...
Could get a single ram and a school of tetras :) people do say 30g min for a ram but 20 would be fine if they were the only bottom dweller.

I remember when this first happened to me and I threw all my plants out. When I got this real bad I was Gently cleaning the leaves of each plant to remove the stuff. Now I have very little algae of anything in my tank, sort from BBA on some wood and the back wall of my tank that I never scrub...
I have four very small Bolivians, in a few weeks they will have at least 1 maybe even two days a week with no food. Only got them around a month ago so currently fattening them up :)

I run two eheim 2213 filters on a 63g, much as above for the extra filtration possibilities and also allowing for maintenance on one at a time etc.

I always change my bulbs every year, I know this is age old question but how often do people change theirs? I know that each time I change them got the first few months that plant growth seemed improved and algae was slower at returning.
I have also changed my bulbs in my T8s, instead of a...
I have very hard water and decided for Bolivians over Germans and they really are incredible. They seem to adapt better and I don't have any buffers etc at all, just water and prime. I wouldn't go messing with your water as it means messing With it all the time.... Recipe for disaster!
