    Introducing fish into a CO2 set up

    Hi - All The best why to check the colouration of any DC is to remove it and place it front of a white piece of water - what looks like lime green under water will be yellow once removed from the tank. Caught me out once - little otto doing several death roles, my initial thought were - what...

    Introducing fish into a CO2 set up

    Arty Fish require H2O to survive, they comsume the oxygen and give out Co2 which is comsumed by the plants during photoperiod and the reverse process happens with the plants for the fish, if the there is a greater concentration of residual co2 gas within the water column these fish will go to...

    Fishing Dieing

    Krish When you state - they are swimming weirdy - is it like a death role - across the tank / up and down whilst rolling. If so my first thought are your Co2 levels if you are injecting Co2 and if your levels are high this will affect them getting acclimatized to your water parameters...

    New additions

    jp303 You could stick with the harlequins as per mattyC comment - but add different harlequins. I have Rasbora's and coppers or Hengels - two different types and they shoal together see attached short cuts http://www.aquahobby.com/gallery/e_rasbora.php http://www.aquahobby.com/gallery/e_Trig...

    Recommended Stocking - what would you choose

    Cannot beat a shoal of rummies / harlequins, I have both in my tank (12 & 22) respectively, the harlequins are quite tight in their shoal, where the rummies are not so tight, but when one rummy darts to the other side of the tank the rest follow. Regards Paul.

    Steve Slight shimmer - I had to drop the inlet pipe further down into the tank due to evaporation (now my top is open to the elements, just lifted pipe out of tank so returning water is disturbing the water surface - I did wonder whether is was due to the heat, as It is very hot here. Paul.
