They have improved a little with time but they do still hug the front left corner a little. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

I've seen some improvement after another day but that's generally after I've put food in. They eventually go back into their corner. I'll try some floating plants which I'll gradually remove as you have suggested above. Hopefully that will help. I have Cardinal Tetras, Ember Tetras and Golden...

This may help my current issue...I set up an Iwagumi with no cover and my fish appear to hate it. Perhaps I need a floater plant which I can slowly remove. Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Hi All, I have just rescaped my tank and compared to my past setups im pretty pleased with how it looks. However, as you can see below I'm having issues with fish huddling in the front corner and they will not move until the second the lights go out. I can understand that fish in the wild...

Breed or Breath? If breed, that's quick! Lol Sent from my D6503 using Tapatalk

Hi All, After years of protest I have finally given up the fight and allowed my girlfriend to put some Guppies in my Aquarium. They appear to have been fine for the first day but I'm noticing that whilst the CO2 has been on they all stay at the surface. The rest of my fish are absolutely fine...

CO2 is a possibility, but my CO2 is currently at its lowest flow without compromising the plants with algae. I cant run it any lower and dont see how other people get away with higher CO2 without getting the same issue?!? Frustrating! I dont have any large fish. I just have around 10 Cardinal...

I had this problem with my shoal, unfortunately the smaller of the shoal always developed the disease until eventually I had none left. I wondered whether it was malnutrition and the runt of the litter gets bullied into not eating but I doubt that's it....it's the best I could come up with

Hi all, I've asked this question before but with changes to my tank I feel it needs asking again. I used to have an iwagumi and my fish always used to hide under the main stone and never venture out. I bought a new shoal of different fish who swam in open water but soon started hiding away...

Usually I use part warm part cold which I'm unsure as to whether that's the done thing. I try to match the tank water by touch. What running temperature is good for otos do you know? Sent from my XT890 using Tapatalk

I'll be doing another test and water change tonight. It wasn't unsafe but it was still pink on the scale which was enough to concern me. Sent from my XT890 using Tapatalk

Generally I open up the filter, remove the media and wash it in the original water from the filter housing. No Mains water involved

Hi All, Last week I bought 3 new otos, already two have died so I'm back to 3 again. The thing is nothing dies at the same time so I cannot figure out the cause. I Seem to lose single fish and shrimp randomly. I've finally resolved my brown hair algae so id hate to play with my gas again. If...

My Mum has some (not that you ever see them in the tank) but your right, I don't see them often in shops. Sent from my XT890 using Tapatalk

Ive had them in a Fluval Ebi which is the same as the flora (not by choice) and even that was too small for them, they are too lively for small tanks. I also had them jumping out of the open top which was a problem. I put the lid on and they still jump through the gap between tank and glass lid...

Thanks Guys, As you mention their need for good water quality, it brings me to my next question, which may be a dum one. I have read that Oto's dont like Nitrates at all. I dose nitrates as part of my EI (at the moment quite high levels to try and kill my BGA bloom) can Oto's still survive with...

Hi All, I am choosing some new fish for my 30L fluval ebi, Its got a fairly large piece of bogwood in it, java ferns and a little vallis and Alternanthera reineckii (which isnt doing too well under low light) Ideally Id love to have some Harlequins and Otos, both fish have really caught my...
