    Feeding fry - how often?

    Hi! This is a question about how often to feed apisto fry. The normal routine for me is to feed in the morning before work, then after work and just before light goes out in the evening, that is 3 times a day total. Now I happen to be working from home for some time, and have the possibility...

    Cleaning sand bottom

    Those of you who have fine sand in the tanks, how do you keep it clean. I would prefer to have the sand stay in the tank, but this seems to be troublesome with normal vacuumcleaning (hope this is the right word, u probably know what i mean anyway). Regards / Chris
