    Hi, Has anyone found a good way of keeping floating plants in a certain part of the surface? Something that will adjust to the water level. And if possible, no suction cups.

    Atahualpa hiding

    I had a A. Cacatuoides male that used to do this as well. One time I startled and he came out of the tank and to the floor.

    Hi, Those are Magnolia leaves and will post pictures when that flower sinks. Absolutely beautiful in my opinion. https://www.castledawnaquatics.com/collections/aquatic-botanicals/products/aquatic-botanicals-cocoa-palm-tenders-whole-blackwater-biotope-aquarium-fish-tank?variant=44062831509785

    Can I make blackwater using my tap water?

    Hi, Thank you for all the great replys. Seems like Alder cones would be the way to go if one likes to get this sort of steady level of tint over longer periods? @MacZ I tried your rooibos tea trick and loved the color! Just wished it would last longer.

    Can I make blackwater using my tap water?

    Hi, Does this also account for the colouring effect of the extracts? I´m using JBL´s Tropol and it seems to go away in a couple of days.

    Hi all, Any ideas what this is? It comes and goes but I´ve been struggling with it at least a year. It´s really effective at preventing plant growth... Pistias are really struggling and Salvinia is dying.

    temperature !

    Apologies for hijacking the thread but would single Borelli work in a 60 litres? I have 10x Tanichthys albonubes there already. The tank is in room temperature.

    Ichthyo Treatment

    I always keep the tank below 80µS. Used to breed wild A. Baenschi in it. No idea about the PH, but there´s always good amount of leaves and other botanicals in the tank. And massive blanket of salvinia and pistia. My experience with has Ich has always been a massive wipeout so this is all news me!

    Ichthyo Treatment

    MacZ, very interesting about the reports! It was a mix of Alder cones and Catappa. Maybe 75% Catappa. Really dark mix. The dosage was about 1,5L for 240L Juwer Rio. What other diseases has those tiny white spots in such numbers? Is it given that most of the fishes catch Ich if there´s an...

    Ichthyo Treatment

    Thanks for this, very interesting. I had a very weird thing happen to me the last few weeks. My main tank had Ich but I didn´t use any medication. Only added substantial amount of "leaf tea". I ended 3 Black Neons that were absolutely covered with spots, but other than that, all the other seemed...
