Re: Plant Issue

Brilliant, thank you so much for your advice. Do you think the weekly dose of TNC is enough or is there a better brand?

Re: Plant Issue

Thank you for reply. I will certainly trim off as suggested and divide some stems. I’m due to do a water change tomorrow so that will be a good time to carry it out. Another question, does it become a nuisance to manage or is it okay with regular trimming?

Re: Cherry Barb with swollen abdomen.

Sadly I don’t have a small aquarium to put her in. I do have rocks but not dragon stone and they have no noticeable sharp edges. I will try and get the API Melafix tomorrow and see how she progresses.
Thank you for your help.

Re: Male or Female Rainbow Fish?

Thank you, I now know the ratio required for the rainbows to be happy and not become aggressive towards each other which I really want to avoid.

Re: Male or Female Rainbow Fish?

I am indeed in a hard water area so that won’t be an issue for the rainbows. The boys do look great and certainly enjoy their bloodworms! Thank you for your advice again it’s very much appreciated.

Re: Male or Female Rainbow Fish?

Another question on the rainbows, can you keep all males together or do you have to add females? I’m just thinking ahead before adding anymore stock. I would like to have a peaceful tank and would not wish to create any unnecessary issues between the group.
