The buce has a bit of algae on it. I'm going to squirt it with easycarbo to see if it kills it. Otherwise it's all in ok condition considering

EasyCarbo might work on your Bucephalandra but is there any way you could lower the light or move it. Does seem a tad bright there for it.

I had it on the floor as I'd just added the newbies, and then tripped over the dog. A little bit Benny Hill.

Definitely the dog, not the chaos mess I cause when I'm playing fish.

I don't have a dog to blame. :(

I hope the dog is ok!

I've had this little one join one of my tanks along with a group of Similis. He/she looks like a Panda x Similis to me. I don't like hybridisation, but it can live it's days out in one of my community tanks.

Has anybody used a pH pen that they consider reliable please? I'm running a little breeding project with my Dicrossus Filamentosis and I'm dropping the pH a lot at the moment. The test kits don't accurately give a low pH reading.
