4. setup almost 2 years
5. 3 fish / 2 orandas (both have swimbladder issues) 1 pictus catfish. orands ive had for the 2 years. pictus added i think a year ago
6. quarantine? this tank was bought for them

10. i have a heater and filter and bunch of air stones
11. it recieves some natural sunlight. I dont put on any light until about 8pm
12. I did a water change yesterday of about 60%. I change about 30% or so every week and yes i vaccuum substrate. I also use Prime after
13. I feed them now (used to feed pellets) frozen brine shrimp, frozen freshwater packs, peas, cocktail shrimp, grapes etc.... not anymore processed stuff really. althought the pictus does get its own stuff that i put in for it. They get fed once a day
14. well my orandas are both upside down floating at top but they have been that way for awhile. im guessing it was the processed stuff they used to eat
My oranda angel who ive posted about here before has now developed some pineconing but im thinking it might be just from her excess bloating because of her swimbladder so i dont really know how and if i can fix this
