    Looks like Limnophila sessiliflora

    I test just before my weekly water change for a consistent point of reference, which is also several hours after feeding. I'd also test if the fish are acting strangely.

    I have all three products at home but luckily only had the need to treat ich one time with Esha exit. All fish are alive and well.🙂 However, I don't use meds in quarantine unless I spot something wrong.

    I do mine in afternoon just to make sure the ambient light is good. Especially if I do the occasional water testing before the water change, I find natural light much easier to compare the colours on the charts.

    I feed all the above and rotate them to give the fish a bit of variety. The food they love most is live food: BBS and micro worms. I only have nano fish.

    Tropica has a list of US dealers on their website. I buy some hard to get plants from eBay. I bought a banana plant from eBay as they don't seem to be widely available here in the UK. The grass is always greener on the other side.

    I culture Walter worms in the same way, but using mashed boiled potatoes, as I alway have potatoes handy. I also mash some carrot in, with the idea of providing extra carotene for my dwarf boraras (they're nicely coloured up but no idea if it's due of this). I do cut out a 1cm square hole on top of the lid and poly fill it, as suggested by Cory. The worms can spread to the underside of the lid, and they could be small enough to spread out through those holes. I have not had this problem with polyfil, yet.

    I live in England and they are not popular here, neither. It took me 2 months to source them.

    Least killifish - males flare and bump into each other, act so tough for such a small fish 😂 Pygmy cory - rummage around the plants then chill on a leaf Medaka ricefish - the orange ones are so pretty

    In the UK, we’ve recently entered into our second lockdown, so what better thing to do to past the time than to start a new planted tank. This is a 30 litre/7.9 gallons heated tank, with double sponge filter. I like the double sponges as I can swap out a sponge from an existing tank for near instant cycling, without impacting the existing tank too much. Plants used are: Lilaeopsis brasiliensis Lobelia cardinalis Anubis nana bonzai Sagittaria subulata Limnophilia sessiliflora Cryptocoryne beckettii Bacopa caroliniana Java fern

    My not quite 3 months old ricefish has started laying eggs. I thought she was just fat at first, as she's alway eating. Should the eggs be trailing like a chain? She's the largest of 4 that I raised from eggs I bought from internet. Unfortunately, I don't think any of the other 3 are mature enough to fertilise the eggs, they are almost half the size, and I'm not even sure any of them are male.

    Your tank is coming along fine. Water change will lower your NO3. So will more plants 🙂 I'm using Dennerle Plant Elixir Universal Fertilizer. Plants are growing, so good enough for me.

    Tropica, big aquatic plants supplier in Europe, sells some of their plants in coconut fibre pots, which can be removed or planted directly into the substrate. I always do the latter.

    That is a an impressive piece of wood. The curly leaves plant seem to be shooting out a runner. I don't think Java ferns do that. Could it be a Cryptocoryne crispatula?

    I agree with what Daniel said already. You could also put some big rocks into the curved parts at the base of the vertical log so it looks like it has grown out and around the rocks. Once you're happy with the layout, you can superglue the log to one of the rocks to weigh it down and prevent it from floating.

    With these type of soil, you can cap it or leave it uncapped, depending on the aesthetics you want. However, if you want to soften your water, you will need it exposed or partially exposed to the water column.

    Could be an Anubias gracilis? http://www.flowgrow.de//assets/images/apple-touch-icon.png Anubias gracilis - Flowgrow Aquatic Plant Database WWW.FLOWGROW.DE Anubias gracilis is one of the larger representatives of the genus Anubias. In nature it grows on the banks of jungle rivers in West Africa. This species is not often found in trade. This species has characteristically...

    I tie my moss to the decoration with cotton thread. The thread disintegrates after a few weeks, by which time, the moss would have attached itself to the wood/rock.

    Do you have any algae eaters like shrimps, snails, otocinclus or siamese algae eaters? They can help combat the algae.

    Both those plants are slow growers and have low light demands. I would reduce the light period. Tropica has a YouTube channel containing short videos highlighting both plants, which may be helpful.
  21. kammaroon
    I second this. Would be good to know the details 🙂

    You can buy various sizes of sponge filters from eBay in the UK. Check out MD Fish Tank on YouTube. He's just set up a rack of 6 x 25L tanks, with a single air pump, air line splitters, and small sponge filters in each tank. He's based in SW England, if I remember correctly.

    I cultivate Walter Worms. They're bigger than banana worms but small than micro worms. They stay alive more than 12 hours in the tank, so I figured they might be less polluting than the other two types of worms.

    There's a technique using super glue and cigarette filters. YouTube has some how to guides.

    Thank you for that information. I will head to LFS and get both.
