  1. I have a heavily planted tank. See photo. Are there good choices for bottom feeding fish given there isn’t a lot of actual bottom open?
  2. Looking to add some more eye catching fish to my 15g FluvalFlex. It’s heavily planted with medium flow. Right now there is one sparkling gourami, about 3 Pygmy Cory’s, a couple Amano shrimp and an assortment of snails including some pests. Thoughts?
  3. Cool that’s what I have been doing.
  4. My tank is very heavily planted where they is basically no open space. I find it really hard to clean the bottom while avoiding shrimp, Cory’s ect. any tips?
  5. It’s a flex so don’t think auto feeder is the best idea. I’ll do the other suggestions. Thanks.
  6. Hi everyone. I will be gone over Xmas for 12 days and having a friend with zero experience feeding my tank. Photo below. It is stocked with 2 sparking gourami, 3 Amanno shrimp and 5 pygmi Cory’s. also a few snails. I would like to make the feeding as infrequent and easy as possible. Could I put one of those block things in to cover the shrimp, Cory’s and snail and have just some food added for the gouramis? If they were fed every 3-4 days would that be ok? Thanks
  7. I have never had these guys. I guess I assumed they would just hang out at the bottom all day filtering through the substrate. In fact, they spend lots of time jetting around up and down the water column. Is this normal? It’s not a sign of something like oxygen issues or anything?
  8. Thanks. It’s possible I may be succumbing to “want to tinker” syndrome! 😁
  9. I think I have my algae problem under control. I’ve added 4 Amano shrimp, 3 ottos, 5 Pygmy Cory’s and 2 sparking gourami to my tank. I would like to fill out the plants a bit more. Maybe carpet, maybe even mid or upper. any good idea for this low tech tank?
  10. Thanks for all the help. I got some amano shrimp and a few ottos. I assume the trick now is not add any food given they are only inhabitants?
  11. Sorry SAE? Also do you think I can deal with this by stocking? No need to tear it apart or chemical treat?
  12. I have a 15 g Fluval flex which is heavily planted and had 4 pea puffers. I’ve gotten rid of the puffers and want to stock the tank to balance it and clean up the algae outbreak. I am thinking of some Amani shrimp, a few neurogenic snails and a pleco. good or bad idea? Better ideas?
  13. My lights are on timer for 6 hours per day. I dose fertilizer once a week and put in substrate pellets once in a while.
  14. I feel like I am way over feeding because their food comes in these giant frozen blocks. I am using the standard frozen cubes of blood worms and brine shrimp. I have 4 pea puffers. do people cut off a small piece of a block to thaw? If so how much? or do you thaw a block and just give a little at a time? If so do the thawed ones last in the fridge? How much do you feed? thanks
