    fish for hard water

    although tetras prefer soft water for breeding, i have never struggled with any tetra. i have neons from about 4-5 years ago. plants are also not bothered about water hardness ether

    how many galaxy could I get away with 30l

    i might be wrong then :lol: if it were me i would get rid of the neons and get 10 see what others say anyway
  11. samc

    how many galaxy could I get away with 30l

    IMO i would add a max of 10 (keeping the fish already in) as they are very small. well the ones i have seen anyway. But you would need to keep up on water changes :D

    Best Whitespot Treatment

    how much do you do? i allways do 50% plus on mine a week. white spot is caused by stress, normally from ammonia. it may have been building up over time. if it does not go then do bigger water changes or more often. it will be annoying doing it on such a big tank but it will get rid permanently...

    Treating White spot....

    white spot is caused by stress this is normally by tank pollution i use interpet anti-whitespot and regular water changes this works well but alternatly if you do regular large water changes that should do the trick.
