hi, It's been a while, so I came with an update. ever since i put the rasboras in, the situation is much better I can say I solved it , I let the following vid to talk for itselfe:

today something special has happend. I went to the store and I bought 7 more rasboras and 2 more SAE-s, after half an hour all of them were accomodated with the new tank and guess what...all my barbs came out suddenly , became more active and started to play among them and chase as they used to...

I do not have jungle of stemplants, but still there are some ...i already quit the dutch style. there are many hiding places made mostly of roots , I'm gonna post a vid later I heard that , if there are other fish in the tank that are more active and they do not show fear when there is a...

zozo : yes , i do believe it is the light in your case too, if you say that the surface plants help them . I do have several types of floating plants, including aristata, duckweed, limnobium and so on, but not so dense to cover the whole surface, it is rather open for the stems below, maybe...

Hi, I am experiencing the following problem with my green tiger barbs. Since I keep them for quite a long time I am very aware how to keep them: they are 16 in 300 L in good conditions, lots of plants and hiding places with large open areas for swimming. Big external filter provides biological...

hi, thanks for the reply. I suspected a desease because my anubias plant was rotting inside the rizome. I cut the rizome in section with a sharp blade , the inside was clealy affected by something similar brown... now the question is the same ...that is also a sign of nutrient deficiency or ...

no, this is lowtech tank, no co2 injection , no carbo, but I do use micro fertilizer

try to open the link on your pc, there is no potassium deficiency on that plant, that plant is rotting or it is attacked by some desease , hard to tell

hi, recently I noticed some brownish spots on my ceratopteris leaves, is that plant decaying or some kind of funge is that? http://s149.photobucket.com/user/dosazsolt/media/anubias%20garden/DSC_2261_zpspv6tikap.jpg.html?sort=3&o=1...

Do you think that my tank is overpopulated? I have around 36 in 300 L ...

Hi, Does anybody here know if puntius denisonii goes along with tiger barbs and barbus odessa? what are the general opinions of this fish in comunity tank?

allright, this is the tank I was talking about : all the corimbosas are replanted in the back, but still can be seen some affected leaves. also my leucephala grows very little or not at all.

hi there, Is it ok to make a gh booster with calcium nitrate instead of the calcium sulphate? I know the other ingredients, I was wondering what effect wil it have if I change that element ? is there anyone here , who can give a good explanation :) ? I have read in several places that the best...

@sciencefiction : My substrate is a 3 years old ada amazonia covered with Aqua medic volcanit . I have no idea how dirty my substrate is, but when I pull out a plant or any piece of wood or little substrate I cannot really tell it stinks that bad, it has some smell yes but accordint to that...

ok, let's say it is fish damage , what to do about it? I was wondering if there is some kind of food with high plant vegetable content.

If I examin closely the leaf, those deficiencies does not look like fish bites or similar, it is pure plant desintegration. I've never seen ancistrus eating leafs like that in such scale..:)

I have noticed only one fish that would eat plant , but only the tip of them - heteranthera zosterifolia, this fish would be the odessa barb. I also have green barbrs, some rasboras, 4 bosemani, 2 ancistrus 2 otos. I think in my case is rather with water parameters than planteating fishes. I...

no, that has nothing to do with snails , nor with pleco or ancistrus...

Hi all, I have 2 tanks, both are low techs, with very little or no fertilization at all. One is 50 L with no fish just with H.corimbosa and a red lotus, planted ( dirt tank) and the other one is 300 L , planted and moderate number of different fish. The lights in both are low. In the 50 L tank...

3 watts per liter is a phenomenal amount of light. Are you sure you don't mean 0.3 watts per liter? thanks for correcting me , yes I meant 0,3 w /L ...

sorry to say this but I had no result by rising the co2 level ... I kept it stable for weeks at 30 - 45 ppm ( very light green with a 4dkh dropchecker) and the GDA unfortunatly had not dissapeared ...at all. Oh yes , the light was also reduced to 3W/ L ,.... any suggestions? :clap:

knocking the glass isn't the right word like you wre knocking the door ...sounds stupid. It's rather touching quickly the glass with your nails as the fish gathers so u can feed them at once :) , anyways that has absolutly nothing to do with fish stress nor food quality ...i do this for...

hi, first of all I have a 300L plantad tank with co2 presurized system, ferts based on EI method, lighting 0,5 W , and 15 rasboras ( heteromorpha) , .... so what is realy interesthing I noticed recently that every time i knock the glass when I am about to feed them ..they go crazy ... yes ...

I can easily reduce the light to 0,3 or 0,4 W/L in no time , but what really concerns me is that the tank is 50 cm deep , very densly planted ( dutch style) ... won't the lower parts of plants get black or even rotten ? This happend when i reduced the light last time... or this is have to do...

tnaks for you help, I'll wiggle on the co2 sytem and I make sure I have a better co2 circulation on the water and keep you up with the changes. I think I'll postpone the sulotion i mentioned first. :) I also reduce the lighting to 0.5 W/ L if that would be enough. I light the tank 8 hours a...

hi, As the title says i have this algea GDA and i cannot get rid of it, every time i scrape it off it keeps coming back in max 3 days.I've read about this algea alot , and i honestly don't want to use the first method of killing it, i think there is not much annoying thing then to let this...

hi, The deficiencie looks like a hole in the older and younger anubias leaves , actualy many little holes like something bites it , a bit yellowish leaves , and the holes edges are contured with a dark broun line. No idea what that could be , i use no co2 , the tank is 300 L , planted with only...
