https://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/threads/what-would-you-do-with-these-kribensis.645086/ Bred Kribensis Pulcher a few years ago. The female would use a section of pvc pipe to lay her eggs in. I had a little algae so fry had something to graze on. A very hardy species but are very aggressive if eggs, wriggler, or free-swimming fry in the aquarium.

Depends on how fast your parameters stabilize. It could take 6-7 weeks if you started with no live beneficial bacteria. Also depends on various factors such as bioload and water temperature.

Undergravel filter and layering substrate
Tlindsey replied to princedreaming's topic in General Discussion
@princedreaming A first for me to hear of substrate other than gravel used with a under gravel filter. -
Rubbermaid Brute can for mixing saltwater. Rubbermaid tote for sump. Walmart 3 drawer cart without wheels made into wet/dry trickle filter. Plastic Pot scrubbers for biomedia. Magnifying glass.

The Albino Clawed frog may be a problem if the fish are small enough to fit in it's mouth.
-
If it looks good to you that's all that matters. 😉 What type of fish do you have in it.
-
It will definitely help jump start a cycle.

@BIRD0887 Welcome aboard 😀 @Carson Wargo Welcome aboard 😀
-
@Ujaynme Yes the Goldfish are very 😊
-
Yeah follow your heart I agree both great catfish species.
-
@Mercfh Small lower jaw Polypterus may be interesting. I personally have a amazon bumblebee catfish and a striped Raphael Catfish. They both hide 😆 Most catfish are nocturnal.
-
@Mercfh That probably was very stressful for the Pepper Cory I suggest slowing the flow or placing a pre-filter on the intake. It's possible for that to happen again.

@bryanisag If fry are small enough to fit through a airline hose you could suck the fry up into the shrimp net. Keep net close to end of airline hose so you won't harm the fry.
-
@Herefishie I hope you change your mind about TFH magazine it's a great magazine.
-
@Mercfh Yes looks like 7.8 to me. Not overstocked imo. When you're fish start growing and the guppies start to breed that will increase your bioload.
-
@Danothechef I was thinking roots of the Amazon Sword may affect the function of undergravel filter in the area with it's roots.
-
@reefhugger Vacuuming the gravel will have minimal affect on beneficial bacteria only waste trapped in the gravel would affect water parameters imo. Like stated different answers
-
@Rewcolee1 I loved going to RMS Aquaculture when I was young. They had two locations back then.

@Manringjk Welcome aboard 😀 I'm also from NEO my favorite lfs is Something Fishy.
-
@Siett88 That will be fine but don't know how long the Platies or Swordtails will last.
-
@Monkeypoint Newly hatched brine shrimp is highly nutritional after a day loses nutritional value. Yes you could feed every day. I suggest hatching small amounts of eggs but if you want freeze the rest. Not sure if large Angelfish will eat them but the tetras yes. Don't have any experience with shrimp. Be careful of overfeeding bbs because that will definitely affect your water parameters.

Advice needed: did a fish in cycle before knowing better

@Billipo Welcome aboard 😀
-
@alcidmr just put the new pre-filter on you will be fine 🙂

@Robert K you may have a captive bred Senegal they don't grow large like the wild caught Senegal from lake Turkana Africa. They grow over a foot. I personally have cb Senegal bichirs.
