    Plant Profile Cryptocoryne crispatula var. balansae

    That can be true. Which is why when it does send out new rooters. you nip them and give them some space in between. All I tend to do is follow the stem and snap it off by hand. So easy that way rather than sniping. But then again my tank is quite deep so I would only do that during a large water...

    Plant Profile Cryptocoryne crispatula var. balansae

    I have had both balansae, retro and also tiger variation in the past(20 years ago) Currently I had about 3 pots worth of balansae in my 350l which came from 1 pot in the kids tank. Its grown to over 30+cm long and lots of baby runners every few months which I just trim off the larger old leaves...

    Something’s wrong with my clown loach

    I had a bunch of clown loaches for around 8 years. The last year one of them become similar and died within a few weeks last year. And naturally the other loaches will nip and eat it up. So perhaps best to pop into another tank in dose medication. Good luck with them :)

    Enclosed ecosphere

    Was a great idea when you mentioned it to me and I did say that brine shrimp dont live that long too. But I imagined that it would keep on breeding etc I think best bet is to collect water from a river or pond and then have it enclosed and that might fare better in the long run?

    Old tank - can I reuse stuff or throw?

    My question is does this tank need shutting down even if its been standing for 2 weeks. Im assuming that the filter was still running etc? You could leave this as a simple tank that will house some plants etc? If its getting in the way and you are packing it all up then you can reuse the mesh...

    Amano Shrimp killed

    Sometimes can be bad luck. I have a 350l tank and have 6 amano and never had a death. They would only come out at night time. I would say it could be the bristlenoses which can be boisterous sometimes especially if the amano are unlucky and encroach in spaces/feeding time. How mature are the...

    Long post regarding my tank

    I think thats usually a balance of too much food at one point and the population bursting and constant laying eggs everywhere, then you notice a tonne of small snails. For me its usually because my loaches get to them. But if there is no loach I reckon the culprit is the change of water...

    Long post regarding my tank

    Can even use the 70l tank as a semi high tech tank by dosing more often in there and better lighting. Til you understand the relationship of light duration etc. Over time you can just use the 70l as a nursery to plant into the big tank. Thats what I do with my other small tanks at home :)

    Long post regarding my tank

    Sometimes many water changes does give an imbalance to the water and upset the fish which in term causes them stress etc. I think my take on this is to actually let the tank settle and let nature take its course.
