Fish Thread

Blue was buried. Tank is a little cloudy today. I suspect that the excess bacteria that were breaking down the ammonia from Blue's body no longer have something to break down, so hence the clouded look. I have selected my plants. Now time for the fish. Celestial Pearl Danios, White cloud mountain minnows, chilli rasbora, endlers livebearers are the top choices right now. Although I find chilli rasbora gorgeous but boring

Im sorry about blue.

Thank you both. I think it's better that he's at peace now, rather than suffering

I’m sure

Right now I'm set on either Chilli rasbora or CPDS. By nightfall I will want a completely different fish

I had the Celestial Pearl danios. They were very pretty but I eventually lost them all, and I'm not sure why.

Ember tetras are on the way, supposed to be here tomorrow

Aquahuna had to cancel my order for Zebra nerites, but gave me a promo for free shipping! After the Embers finish up quarantine and go into the big aquarium I might order some more of the striped Kuhlis. And Red Cherry shrimp... wouldn't hurt to add some fresh genes!

Hello everyone!
I’ve got a question, what’s that fuzzy stuff in this tank?

We haven’t had fish for many many months, they all died off. The tank has been a bit neglected since then.

Looks like some sort of algae growth. I don’t know what type but it’s definitely an interesting looking algae!

That’s what I was thinking.
It’s so hard to clean, and it grows back pretty fast!

You could try to do a black out on your tank for 2 or more days. Turn all the lights on it off and tape thick black paper on all the sides of the tank so no light can get through. I’ve never personally done it as I haven’t had bad algae outbreaks, but I’ve heard it’s a really easy way to get rid of algae.
