Fish Folk Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Moooooooooooore plants! Fill up that water column. Also: live food is essential. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with @Fish FolkNeeds more floating plants. Mine love spawning in hornwort or bladderwort. This is where mine spawn. And to agree with @Fish Folk again, these are hardy fish, but they need live food. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm definitely working on it lol it's a new scape so I gotta give it some time to grow in. Don't worry I used old aquasoil along with the wood and plants from other tanks so plenty of bb for this little tank. Also gonna be getting a nano hob to replace the crap internal filter. Been doing water change every other day too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted June 27, 2021 Author Share Posted June 27, 2021 I have a hard time finding those around me and also have grown sceptical of buying new plants as every time I introduced new ones I seemed to get sick fish. I know quarantine them... No good excuse for not doing that other than impatient and was too trusting of the supplier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recommend buying plants from Aquarium Co-Op if you’re in U.S. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I'm in Florida so certain plants may not make the trip so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Posted June 27, 2021 Author Share Posted June 27, 2021 Also I forgot to mention I give them brine shrimp and black worms on a regular basis. Also micro worms for the fry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
