@mountaintoppufferkeeperit works well with dried spirulina for some reason [imo it shouldnt, but my grandpa insists it based on just the personal preference of fish, he says it works with carinotetraodon irrubesco, never kept those but i think it would work for you] that is an interesting idea i am going to try it out rn [for real] are there any suggestions for tank mates [dither fish or something else in general] i am also going to acclimate them for freshwater a lot of ichthyologist i know agree that it will work for me as i have super hard water and even suggest that i can keep stigmatogobius sadanundio or try dadio i would like your take on this [i have really hard water but its still fresh]

thank you so much everyone i will settle in for the dichotomyctere fluviatilis [it is the most similar looking fish] i have borewell water which is very hard and will be adding rocks to harden it even more my grandfathers quite old but is a professor of zoology specializing in ichthyology he said that he has kept one of those long long ago and he agrees that live and frozen foods do quite well he used to feed them earthworms mixed in with dried duckweed so i hope this one is fine with it to replicate somewhat brackish style tank i will be using a filter with 10x turnover with slightly distributed flow am using a planted tank led cause thats what i have on my hand doing a terrestrial plants aquascape with a hardscape only tank any suggestions are welcome

I Got These Amazing Looking Guys While I Was Traveling Note: These Were Kept In A Pretty Bad Condition I Am Planning To Keep One For Myself And Giving The Other To A Friend They Are From A Chain Store [Will Not Mention The Name Or Place] They Have Improved Quite A Load Since I Got Them I Am Planning To Do & Scape With Houseplants And Rocks Only But Please ID Them And Suggestions Are Always Welcome But Know It, Even If Its & Mbu Puffer [thankfully its not] I Will Keep It not in the best condition but working on it using the methylene blue and green malachite [note: i have a borewell in my house so pretty hard water]

well i did take those things into consideration but i have a lot of caridina Gracilirostris and caridina multidentata, amano's should be fine but the red nose are really sensitive [more sensitive than sensitive caridina's]

well i am trying to get a nice scent from my aquascape by no means my tank stinks but it is in my studio so i would like to introduce a nice smell which will also get people to think that " i have never smelled a fish tank this good, i could drink its water "

has anyone done something similar

i want to do a dry start using fissidens crispulus will it work what should I Do That Will Help The Moss Grow Faster In A Dry Start Has anyone used the crispulus Fissidens i have Used The Fontanus Which Works Fine IN Dry Start But What ABout Crispulus [Very Lil Info On this One]

sorry did not mention the tank size [custom 75 gallon] 180x40x40 cm

thank you so much @Zenzo So To Sum Up i am looking For A Schooling Fish For An AquaScape With A Lot Of Blues PL Suggest What FIsh Which Are Small Will Look Good are boesmani Rainbows An Option

pl let me know what fishes color the best under white lighting or higher rated kelvin lighting and also what fish look better under lower kelvin lighting like 6500k or lower

Please suggest me plants from Borneo it has to be from Borneo but it should not be bucephalandra pl as much suggestions as possible

yep but since saying it the third eye sounds so omnipotent-ish

they are truly a stunning fish and very easy t keep and the dot on their head looks cool too :]

i already have golden killis in the tank for about a month and a half i wanted to add ruby barbs cause they are both from Sri Lanka i do have a lid although it is a rimless tank thanks for the advice tho

I Have A 90P Aquarium i think this should work cause ruby barbs are bottom dwellers but pl letme know and yes ruby barbs are very peaceful

i have kept some tetras in high water hardness i did a scientific experiment by adding a school of 8 cardinals to two tanks each one had a ph of around 7.8 [i used an inert substrate which was black] other one just had amazonia which was cycled long enough to remove nitrates both the tanks had one anubias glabra i added the same ammount of food and fert the temperature was 78 the cardinals definitely seem to colour much faster in the amazonia tank obviously all the cardinals survived [ imo cardinal is a hardy tetra compared to others but still the ph matters ]

i do use amazonia ver. 2 [that buffers ph to an acidic level between 6.5-7] thats also one of the reasons why i am now able to keep tetras alive i will also probably use easy green in the future

i will be keeping a chack on floaters regularly [once a week] so i think i should be fine

I Dont Run Co2 I Do Add Fertilizer [only this one - https://www.2hraquarist.com/products/apt3 ] I Do Have A Dirted Tank Can The Following Plants Survive In these Conditions - red root floater java fern windelov java fern greater duckweed 😄 water lettuce water wisteria salvinia bacopa caroliniana moneywort giant hygrophila vallisneria nana vallisneria spiralis vallisneria gigantea saggitaria sp. giant saggitaria sp. narrow leaf java moss :] pl serious help needed on this

is it strange that my crypts did not melt

ok first of all get some pottasium for planted aquariums cause java fern really greens up or whatever when you add pottasium second for the fish part get some algae eating fish if you plan to use it as a fert (: third use all in one fertilizer [probably easy green or if you are not in the states try 2 hour aquarists apt zero cause you just have very less plants or if you want to add more plants then switch to apt complete [if you are not in the States ( https://www.2hraquarist.com/pages/apt-faq ) imo easy green ranks no. 2 to apt complete [never mind] try to use easy green cause you are a beginner

thank you so much i appreciate you helping me and second this tank is not like hard water setup or anything but this is an African Tank specially from areas such as Cameroon and D.R. of Congo [that region in general] everything from plants to rock to types of driftwood will be African strictly. [hint: its for iaplc next year]

thank you so much all of you the crypts are mostly Asian and some of them are from sri lanka and Papua very rare to find them in india native but yes [m an indian] hydrophilia pinattifidia uk is a native plant i like if you want try that out

its the crinum
