So I should try my best to only remove the substrate and keep everything else status quo. Keep the rocks the plants and the water all the same. Thanks for the advice you guys
Is it possible to change from gravel to sand without completely crashing the cycle. I wanted to change to sand and not kill my fish in the process. I was thinking I could put the sand into a bucket 1/2 filled with water and dose with pure ammonia and let it colonize some bacteria before...
Thanks Darrel, I live in new york, I did some poking around and found this website http://www.aquaculturestore.com/ they have some available, I think Im going to purchase some from them, any Idea if I should get 100 or 1000 of each I have a 29g aquarium
I would love to get these little buggers as a cool addition and free food in my aquarium, I read a few posts from Darrel on the subject and was wondering how to start, care for and sustain a population. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks - SMIGUMZ
Awesome thanks everyone I will check them out. I'm trying to decide which apistogramma to keep. Breeding is a big part of it for me and seems that some of the wild caught or •harder" to care for apostle like reallyow ph but the API test only goes to 6. Any suggestions on which apistos you...
0-3 is 0-.50 ppm on the kh scale, I think the increase in kh was caused when I treated the water with a c02/carbonate additive, the water will soften up again as it depletes (Im assuming) I do have 10 zebra danios in the tank so that is why I am making water changes daily,

Thanks for the info the articles are really good. I do have leaf litter in there already and I'm happy to know my tap water is not too good to be true. Thanks again
I tested my tap water with an API gh/kh test kit and both test are 0-3. Is there any reason I would use R/O water or is my tap water ok? It also test neutral and I have driftwood and some moss balls to lower it to 6.5. I don't want to be over zealous but I think I'm really lucky. My tank (30g)...
Ok I will stick with a pair or look into 30g long to give them ample territory, the water quality I am on top of, I have all the proper test kits, r/o water, moss and driftwood to keep everything in check . I appreciate the input. Any ideas on the tank mates?
Hello everyone :) I'm new to the site. I've been keeping different varieties of fish for a long time and I want to start a small apisto breeding tank. My plan is to have a male and 2 females to breed. I am currently cycling with 10 zebra danios and should be finished in about 4 more weeks. I...
