following what cdawson has said, they need lots of plants to break up their line of vision or they could easily be fighting sometimes. when you first buy them it's better to ask the storekeeper what he feed them because it can be quite a trouble to figure out what they want to eat. i said want...

mmm. i doubt it has been attack because the only other thing in my tank is two cories and 5 neons and 4 lampeye tetras! its still alive and eating now. just that it can't swim upright if i can;t cure it, do you think its better for me to end its life? thanks for all the help!

but i thought if it was swim bladder, the fish would have difficulty swimming plus a bulging body? but what is wrong with my lampeye tetra is that it is bent into half! looks like a bent paper clip. it refuses to eat. and has been at the surface of my sick tank but its not gasping for air. if...

my lampeye tetras were all eating fine up till today when i noticed one of them trying desperately to swim downwards for no particular reason. instead of the usual horizontal position it has when it swims, it was now swimming vertically! i removed it and put it in the QT with a general...

when my marimo ball started turning yellowish green,someone suggested to me to to use a razor, slit a hole and insert stick fertilisers in. she said she did it all the time for her marimo ball and it was successful. so i attempted to do it after much reservations becasue i was afraid to cut the...

kateA.: thanks for the help! my cories are about 2.5cm excluding the tail. the ram is about 1.5cm in diameter and the tetras, both lampeyes and neons are about 1.5 cm in length. i did a throught check on the plants and the gravel. also ever since the day that a bubble in the gravel killed most...

its okay. in fact i should be the one apologizing about the lampeye mass. forgot that there are such things as lampeye killies in fact! so sorry. so am i still over stocked? could i still add fish later on when my tank stablizes? would really loved to add one or two more cory. and on 2nd...

erm my lampeye was lampeye TETRAS. the kind with blue eyes? the small ones?. is it even called lampeye tetras? i know its a type of tetra. but my lfs calls it lampeye tetra. that's why i said lampeye. sorry if i called it wrongly. and my ram is a bolivia ram. recommanded by the lfs for my...

my tank is 45 litres plus. has 2 albino corys, 5 neons tetras, 4 lampeyes and one ram. lately my ammonia readings have been 0.6 and my pH 5. i started to do 50% water change every 2 days. let say i change the water in the morning then test the water 3 hrs later, it would show close to 0...

:D i was hoping. oh well. thanks for all your help!

wiah thats alot of fertilizer to buy for one plant! :eek: :D anyway, is there a more general one that you've used before that keeps the hair ball plant nice green and fluffy? thanks for your help! btw i've seen that other thread. that guy must really have wanted to sell his plant to reduce...

i recently bought a plant called the marimo ball (algae ball). true to its name its round and green . but what i want to know is does it need special care like fertilisers etc? my algea ball has turn from its original brilliant green to a sickly green. has anyone tried keeping this...

i had two rams in my tank recently and one of them happened to be more aggresive and bit my neon tetras, corys and the other ram. i gave away the agressive ram. however the damage was done and the fishes in my tank had nipped fins and tails. i thought it would be a good idea to let it heal...

i'm using hagen's tyest kit. and after water change with anti chlorine it has gone down a little but not much!

famman: i didn't know that! i did indeed use an anti chlorine by baxter labatories. could this be the case of my ammonia level of 0.6? wetmanNY: thanks for your help. i shall keep doing 20% water change until one day they give me a 0 ammonia! :D

by the way its a two ft tank( around 45 litres plus) with an OTTO internal filter. there are 2 corys, 2 otto cats, 4 lampeyes and 5 neon tetras. these are the survivals of the great tank die-off.

that was a fast reply! haha. thanks! well, mogumda, i had the same idea as you and went ahead to test my tap water. it gave a clear reading! so i really guess its my tank then. but orion girl the weirdest thing is that after resetting up my tank, the ammonia level when the new water was put in...

i had some problems with my tank awhile back then had to reset up the whole tank again. the thing was that i kept my filter media so most of the bacteria should be still in the sponge right? but now is perhaps 2 weeks or so after the tank has been reset up but my ammonia reading has not gone...
