  1. Did you check your water perimeters? you didn’t mention your ammonia level, ph nitrate, nitrite I would check these, and perform a water change if necessary I have 2 well Planted 10 gallon aquariums It is not unusual for everything to go right for a good while then without notice suddenly encounter an ammonia spike and or high nitrate. Especially if I’ve over fed due to babies in the tank and or if I’ve neglected the hob filter.
  2. Every time I’ve had cloudy water it turned out to be a bacterial bloom. one time I used a water clarifier that cleared the water all right, but left a white heavy film all over everything! It was awful. So I don’t t use those anymore. Now that my tanks are established I don’t have that cloudy problem as much. Sometimes slight but never heavy as in the beginning. Generally I don’t use carbon in my filters but I have used it successfully in the past to help polish the water.
  3. I’m very excited about these beautiful guppies. They were imported through a trans shipper and all made it without a single loss. They are stunning in person. They are a very bright yellow that shimmers with various shades of yellow red and orange. Even the females are colorful. They are set up in a 20 long planted breeder with a few amano shrimp. They are already breeding in my tank and thankfully are not the strain of guppies that actively hunt their young. live tried a couple of strains of red guppies recently but had no success with keeping them alive much less breeding a colony of them. So getting this much success without any effort is amazing.
  4. These are white clouds? Holy moly those are gorgeous fish! The long finned male is stunning. I wish you much success.
  5. I purchased some on eBay. They are cheap and made of plastic but work perfectly. I’ve had them for a couple years now.
  6. I was just now reading the instructions for my dechlorinator and realized it doesn’t say exactly when to add it. I guess I always inferred it meant before it goes in the tank. Very interesting.
  7. I always add dechlorinator to the tap water before adding that water to the aquarium, following the manufacturers instructions. The measure is the lid so it is convenient. It could be beneficial to check the instructions on your product to be sure you are using it as intended.
  8. Recently there was a couple videos posted regarding the frequency of water changes. One was by Steenfont aquatics and @Cory addressed this issue on his last video as well. Maybe these videos will give you more insight?
  9. Check out Angelmania. There are many beautiful angels there including high coverage red koi.
  10. You didn’t specify if the white spot was swimming in the water column or mostly on the bottom near or in the substrate. I had something similar that turned out to be scuds that took up residents in the substrate. The eggs came in on a mat of dwarf hair grass and hatched in my aquarium. Scuds are amphipods that are shrimp like A good source of food for some fish.
  11. Bent spines are an indication of inbreeding. Most breeders will cull the deformed fry so that they do not breed with healthy adults. An introduction f new gene pool will help with this problem.
  12. What hatched for you. I forgot to ask?
