I've tried live BBS, micro worms and daphnia and... the fry ate absolutely nothing. I made a mistake though. I found it this big in my main tank and I should have left it there. I don't know what it was eating there, but it was alive and big. After moving it to a separate cycled tank it ate...

Ropefish don't really breed in captivity. There are maybe two documented times when they really bred and no records of fry reaching adulthood. That being said... Yes, my ropefish were breeding for some time, my biggest female passed though. They breed only when old enough, mine started being...

You can try nano-noodles - kuhli loaches are really cute and you could get 10 of them in a 40b. Not ropefish, but it's something ;)

90 cm is a legend, no scientific information on such a long ropefish. They reach 40 cm easily though, still big fish. They can get used to something around medium-high light over time. I agree that they can destroy scapes easily. Uprooting plants is like a hobby for them. I have to replant some...

Ropefish are rather social fish. I would get at least 75g and 3-4 ropes. They really behave different (and less skittish) when kept in a group.

You don't even have to rinse it really, H2O2 will quickly fall apart and in a tank it will be in a low concentration not harmful to fish and plants.

Dip the sponge in hydrogen peroxide (1:4 H2O2:water is enough in my opinion.) for 10 minutes, it will die and fall of.

If your tank isn't exactly in front of the window, daylight won't do much so don't worry about it. Wysłane z mojego myPhone S-Line 16 GB przy użyciu Tapatalka

8am-5pm is 9h, 3 pm-10 pm is 7h. It means your plants will get less light, so you might want to consider 1pm-10pm, if the plant growth was nice with 8am-5pm. If you don't want to stress your fish, you might do this change gradually. Change to 9am-6pm for two weeks, then 10am-7pm and so on. I...

I have Turbo 1000, but only as mechanical filtration. I really like it, it's incredibly quiet, but it's big. I use it only when I have too many particles in water - put it in with some fine sponge for a few hours, take it out. I'm not even sure, if it will fit in a 65 litres tank. I understand...

I'm waiting for mine to come (a1201), it will be over my nano tanks. I hope it will do nicely.

I'm cleaning the sponge on the intake weekly (tested it, after 2 weeks flow slows rapidly). Canister filter on it's own and HOBs on other tanks are getting cleaned when I see that flow is too weak to my liking. I have a tank with HMF too, never cleaned it yet.

This is beautiful! I absolutely love it. Maybe next year I should try something like that too.

Thanks, I'll get the sv2 version, it looks just right for my bettas!

Could you post a photo with the granules size on your hand or something to compare? One of my bettas is notorious slob and won't eat anything too big. So I don't know, if I should buy the size 1 or 2.
