    Here’s an idea : Move some of your Cories into the school tank and get some cheaply platies for it as well.

    Anything could be possible - from internal parasites to chlorine in the water. Are there any other fish in the tank? Heat could be a problem - kuhlis prefer 26 Celsius and under in my experience.

    I’ve found that Angels work best in a group of 4 or more - it keeps the agression down.
  4. TheSwissAquarist
    That’s fun! Are you planning to keep the strain going?
  5. TheSwissAquarist
    Someone’s got his work cut out for him 😅

    I recently had the same problem with a new HOB. It could be industrial residue? I drained the tank and wiped it down with a sponge to get rid of all the bubbles on the sides.

    I sometimes get that when I’ve dimmed my lighting a bit. Maybe try some tougher plants like anubias or Java fern?
  8. TheSwissAquarist
    Shrimp? Apistos?
  9. TheSwissAquarist
    Plants are looking pretty good, and you seem to have hit the right balance with the ferts. What’s the stocking plan??

    Here’s a setup I recently did for glowlight tetras : I had to drain the tank because I got a little bit too clever by trying to put peat in the mini HOB instead of in the tank itself. The HOB had some industrial residue in it 😑

    Copper Amino acid is a Copper Salt (Copper with an acid) mixed with Amino ( molecules that combine to form proteins) to keep it together. It does contain copper however, so I wouldn’t feed it again. 😅 Are the crabs doing ok?

    There was some kind of tetra unfriendly bubbly mess on the surface this morning. I’m thinking that it came from the new filter ? Looks like I gotta drain the tank and start again. 😑

    Have you tried a spawning trigger? The presence of another male in the tank could incite them to spawn.
  14. TheSwissAquarist
    Lowers pH and softens the water
  15. TheSwissAquarist
    What fish are you planning to breed? Just add some spawning medium and you should be good.
  16. TheSwissAquarist
    Those males are looking great!

    Looks a bit like a tumor or hole-in-the-head. @Colu

    A Glowlight trio has been added (sexed to the best of my abilities)…with some luck they’ll spawn 🤞
  19. TheSwissAquarist
    Glowlight Tetras have been added…hopefully they’ll spawn 🤞
  20. TheSwissAquarist
    Set up a spawning tank for my Glowlights - hopefully this time I’ll be able to get fry. 🤞

    A fellow club member had one of his females spawn on the side of a lava rock… I’m thinking about swapping some danios for Apistogrammas from him in the future.

    What do you feed your Daphnia @Guppysnail? Constant BBS for fish conditioning is getting a tad expensive for me 🫠.
  24. TheSwissAquarist
    I have a theory that all you’re breeding succèss may be due to either a) The uranium in your tap water or b) the large variety of livefoods you feed your tanks 🧐. What would be your theory?
  25. TheSwissAquarist
    @GoofyGarra you did have a point with the entire color changing with age stuff. It seems that zebra danios first develop their iridescence before they get their gold colors underneath. I’ve reset the spawning tank by draining it completely and letting it sit for a day to kill off anything that may get at the eggs. There’s some peat in the mini HOB to condition the water. Which species should I try? Glowlight or Black phantom tetras??? Fish enjoying the Halloween pumpkin 🎃
