    I would feed more or add more fish that should increase nitrates

    Like I said it was my first tank I didnt do my research and heard somewhere all gourami's were peaceful

    @mgudykait was a slower male with big flowy fins.

    I had a Dwarf flame gourami a long time ago in my first tank. He was fine for about a week and then went on a ravenous rampage I woke up to a half dead male guppy with no tail on the bottom. He was fine with the platys only because they could escape he ate the fry though. My experience with honey gourami's on the other hand has been wonderful ive kept them with otto cats corydoras and rummy nose tetras with no problem.

    I keep pink Ramshorn and Malaysian trumpet snails in my QT tank and keep cranking them out all the time for the puffer. feed them everyday with the other tanks. The duckweed and other fast growing plants helps as well.

    I dont think a pea puffer would be able to eat even a newborn guppy. They have really small mouths they may beat on them and slowly kill them but I dont think it would eat it. And in my experience they dont need hard things to file down teeth. Mine always loved snails but they dont bite the shell they suck em out.

    I love snails in my fry tanks. They allow me to overfeed without risking water quality make great puffer food and keep my tanks algae free its a win win win.

    @Koi @ChemBob Thanks that's really helpful.

    I have high nitrates out of the tap and dont want to push them too high by adding too much easy green. Ive found that 1 pump adds about 10ppm per 10 gal. is that everyone else's experience?

    What are your water parameters?

    Tiger all the way.

    Looks like a Green terror to me.
  13. b_ball34
    I would get 2 or 3 more platys first before you get guppies.
  14. b_ball34
    I hope so I figured he would eat them. Im just gonna feed heavy and hope for the best from what I here they should spawn about once a week.
  15. b_ball34
    woke up today to no eggs and a big fat male, oh well hope we get better luck next time.

    having too many fish in your tank it depends on what you are keeping and what size tank you set up.
  17. b_ball34
    Panda are a smaller cory they would probably eat the little shrimp but the adults should be ok as long as you feed well.
  18. b_ball34
    unless you are really over stocking ive found almost any size sponge can filter any size tank within reason if you stock appropriately and use live plants.
  19. b_ball34
    No idea I got my pair at my LFS, im using deans setup with a few changes mainly adding substrate and planting it up. The female is like 3/4s the size of the male and the male is like 1 1/2"

    I woke up today to a big surprise my blue rams spawned for the first time. I've never kept rams before but I wanted to try my hand a breeding them. When I bought them they were smaller than I thought they would be and I thought it would be a few months before they were ready to spawn guess I was wrong. I have a vinegar eel culture ready to go once they start eating. I know rams usually eat eggs the first few spawns so im wondering if I should pull the eggs or leave them in with the parents?
  21. b_ball34
    If you've never done them I would do 4 or 5 guppies and some neocaridina shrimp Cherry, Blue velvet etc. If you get 2 or 3 males and 4 or 5 females and wait month or two and your tank will be full of baby fish and shrimp.
  22. b_ball34
    dont feed for a day or 2 and he may go after it and if you add a guppy watch it like a hawk and make sure the puffer doesnt go after it.
  23. b_ball34
    The Power has more to do with how much air you run through it then the size of the sponge. But whatever you do don't remove your old filter as soon as you put in the sponge. Give it a week or so to get seeded with bacteria and when you do feed less for a few days to let it catch up.
  24. b_ball34
    I would ask on a saltwater forum they would probably be able to answer your question better.

    @Dawn T My blood parrot loves frozen bloodworms, brineshirmp and hikari cichlid gold and eats them with no problem. I think the people that say that about them are feeding way too big a food, mines never had any problems eating anything I give him as long as its the right size.
